Abstract

The aim of this particular paper is to mainly investigate the relationship between that of renewable energy sources as well as their impact on the process of reducing water pollution As water pollution continues to be essential global issue, the observe explores how renewable electricity technology including sun, wind, and hydropower can contribute to environmental sustainability, specially thru water conservation and pollutants discount. This research uses a qualitative approach, by the process of synthesizing existing literature and case studies to mainly analyze the direct as well as the indirect effects of that the renewable energy on water pollution levels. Renewable energy technologies have a significant role in the process of reducing water pollution by decreasing reliance on fossil fuels, reducing the amount of industrial runoff, and improving water quality. The adoption of renewable energy is an essential strategy for combating water pollution. Policy recommendations are made for the governments as well as industries to transition toward cleaner energy sources.
