Water is one of the prime utilized environmental resources that is currently under threat
for its quality and continued existence. Pollution has a significant influence on this
matter of concern. The existence of impurities in water that change its chemical and
biological composition is referred to as water pollution i.e. a major threat to symbiosis
between human beings and the environment. Due to its multipurpose use, the sources
of water contamination must be varied. Thus, in order to obtain a comprehensive
understanding of the pertinent inclusive circumstances and responsible causes of water
pollution, laboratory tests have been performed on water samples to identify any
pollution. Additionally, three distinct sites on the bank of the Mahananda River in
Siliguri City have been chosen and relevant information regarding the genesis of water
pollution has been gathered. The current study investigates the many causes of water
contamination with proper analytical descriptions in Siliguri City as well as people's
perspectives on the sources from a social standpoint.
