Abstract: According to the local environment activist and research persons working on problem of acidification, industrial and factory effluents, sewage and agricultural wastes and the toxic substances secreted by the above said resources are the main causes for water pollution in Yamuna river water. Yamuna water is commonly used for agricultural fields in adjoining areas. Several micronutrients are heavy metals and known to produce undesirable effects on plants at higher concentrations. When the toxic metals inhibits the metabolic process and important physiological activities in the plants the growth and survival of the plant becomes a difficult task.
