should be arranged for mass education. The concentration should be centered more on

filtration before discharging it in the freshwater to mitigate the nutrient loading of excess
materials and non-biodegradable objects in that ecosystem. Bio-fertilizers should be used at

the most and minimizing the groundwater usage is much needed. We should safeguard this
ecosystem for our existence on this planet.
