*Local people must who are interested to voulenteer for the government must be recognised as ambassadors and must be given power to hold regular inspections on the releasing of effluents into the river by the industries. *Violation must be strictly dealt with and penalty must go upto cancellation of the license and shifting of the location of the industry *A clear guidelines must be released and an act must be passed that has gives all the powers to the state to prosecute the violators.

Major polluting industries should be compelled to either treat their waste or drop them away from river. waste treatment plants should be made mandatory for industries. Industries should be given responsiblity for contributing in cleaning and maintainance of rivers. Regular inspection should be done to control industrial pollution.

Detoxification and Recolonization: Strongly polluted sites should be cleaned up through progams such as the U.S. Superfund, though bioremediation and in-site cleanup should be the preferential treatment options. Physical and chemical reductions to bioavailability will need to be secured additionally, preferably by an irreversible degradation, so that pollutants cannot be released again.

Agrochemicals should be subject to a taxation system in which the ecotoxicity of the compound determines the levy. However, some dangerous pesticides such as atrazine should be incorporated in a cap-and-trade system of dangerous agrochemicals that would gradually be lowered to allow time for transition to less dangerous chemicals. Again, excessively toxic compounds will need to be removed from the market by a blanket ban.

Toxic organic compound emissions that are not pesticide applications should be reduced by setting a fixed standard of emissions and ecotoxicity in a cap-and-trade system which can gradually be lowered. Ideally, this would eventually lead to zero emissions, as most organic compounds can be degraded by microbes and thus treated effectively. If compounds are found to be excessively toxic, a blanket ban should be introduced.

Toxic metals should have a restriction on maximum environmental release based on relative toxicity levels and accumulation rates in ecosystems. If it is inevitable that heavy metals will be released in waste, treatment is necessary before the waste is be released into the environment. In a series of steps, electrolysis should be used to reduce precious metals (Cu, Ag), which can then be refined and sold. Then, biological processing with the appropriate microbes should be used to reduce toxicity
