ENVIRONMENT

The environment of the District in general is free from air pollution caused due to heavy traffic or industrial emissions. Though, Dust storms caused by extreme temperatures and low atmospheric pressure (which can continue from a few minutes to hours) can cause air pollution concentrated in dust particles and pollen. Soil erosion is rare, although water-logging and salinity have ruined some land in the district. Water pollution by chemical items is also rare. Water pollution in the case of water tanks and stored water is caused by animals and/or insects. This happens in areas irrigated by Canal waters. In rural areas, water may be polluted by ill hygienic use of water resources and use of the water source by wild/domestic animals. The living conditions in rural areas vary as to access to the area from communication and irrigation networks. Drinking water is a carrier of various water-borne diseases such as Hepatitis, Gastrointestinal diseases, diarrhea, etc.
