Pesticides have played a serious role in achieving the utmost crop production but maximum usage and accumulation of pesticide residues is very detrimental to aquatic and other ecosystem. Pesticide residues in water have become a major challenge over the last few decades and has been monitored in public water supply resources in national capital territory. Results shows that continuous consumption of contaminated water can pose severe health threats to local parts of this area. Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), Delhi, shows that ? and ? isomers of endosulphan residues within the Yamuna river. High concentration levels of ?-HCH (0.259 ?g/l) and malathion (2.618 ?g/l) were detected within the surface water samples collected from the river Ganga in Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh (UP). High concentration levels of methyl parathion, endosulfan, and DDT were observed in water samples collected from the river at Bhagalpur, Bihar. The Industrial Toxicology Research Centre (ITRC), Lucknow (UP) study shows the result 0.5671 ppb concentrations of endosulfan in the river at Allahabad, UP. Same results were found in other water samples in India.
