Rathinasamy & N.Manivasakam Key Words: River Pollution Sullage Coliforms Streptococci - BOD This study indicated several years ago (20 years) the importance of Water treatment from wastewater treatment plant in Tamilnadu, India. However, recently I read that Tamilnadu water bodies and ground water are completely deteriorated. People did not learn from these critical studies by Environmental Scientists and did not follow their instructions to save such very important water bodies. We are not only affecting these water bodies, but also depleting them and doing great injustice for the future generations. It is time to work on the Environmental Issues as soon as possible to contain further complications and depletion of Natural Resources.
