The villages grow leafy vegetables and have taken increasingly to pesticides. The water is used for drinking and for bottled water as well. Fortunately, two of the three pesticides tested had residues within prescribed limits.
The report proves that farmers need common effluent discharge facilities so that wash water can be treated effectively to safeguard the community.
