Storm water pollution has become a major environmental hazard. Storm water may be referred to any form of liquid which comes into existence due to precipitation process. Water derived as a result of snow melting may also be termed as storm water.

After rainfall the ground absorbs the rainwater. However, there is never 100% absorption. Problem arises when a large volume of water remain unabsorbed and therefore flows on the surface of the ground. This water washes away all the dirt and pollutants present on the surface of the earth and thereby result in storm water pollution.

To fight storm water pollution environmentalists have devised many ways:

Storm water harvest: the storm water is not allowed to run freely and therefore pollute the area. This is done by trapping the storm water in an enclosed area.

Infiltration: this is done to allow the water to be absorbed in the ground.

There are mainly four types of pollution air, water, noise pollution and land pollution. Depending upon the different types of pollution control measures is also different. For air pollution we must reduce the emission of toxic gases from automobiles, factories etc use of aerosols must be avoided or reduced. CFC’s are very harmful and are responsible for ozone depletion so we must avoid the use of CFC’s. For water pollution the main reason is the disposal of factory waste in the river and ponds the other reasons are washing clothes in water bodies and bathing of animals. All this must be avoided as it spoils the drinking water. Oil and pollutants emitted by the ships disturbs the marine life and pollutes the sea.

With the increase of cars and automobiles there is no place to have an escape from noise. Loud music or industrial disturbances are also responsible for noise pollution. Sand pollution is directly caused by use of insecticides and pesticides in the farm lands thus spoiling the land and ultimately affecting the production.

The greatest source of marine pollution is, land based. The sources include sewage, chemicals, metals, sediment mobilization, litter and habitat destruction, radioactivity and persistent organic pollutants. To save the marine life and to reduce the pollution the steps or the initiatives must be started at the regional and state level thus involving the global efforts. GPA is an association made which work non- legally and aim at preventing the degeneration of marine life by pollution caused by land sources. They also work by realizing the duty of state and region and global government to prevent the destruction. The GPA provides guidance to state so that they can control pollution with the help of policies, priorities and resources.
Marine biodiversity can only be protected with the global efforts as all of us are equally responsible for the damage. Shipping and sea dumping are also the reason for marine pollution thus affecting the marine life.

With new administration putting all the force to bring back the powers to the associations related to pollution control in seems as if now the environmental peace will be restored soon. Environmental pollution agency or EPA is making efforts to make serious rules against environmental pollution and will severely punish the culprits. So it can be said the companies manufacturing pollution control equipments will be having good time ahead.

Mr. Obama is paying great attention on the issue of save, and clean water which should be free from debris, pollution and chemicals thus the selling of equipments for clean water , water purifying systems, clarifying systems, mobile pollution emergency response system and will increase definitely and facilitate the use of storm drain system.

Manufacturers will be selling heavily soon after the implementation of the rules thus it is being believed that there will be seen a future trend in pollution control equipments by 2010.
