and operating cost, land availability, operational procedure, discharge specifications
and adaptability to industry’s circumstances (workers or engineers or operator).
The water may be also polluted during transportation due to leakage of equipment
(tankers, vessels) as well as pipelines. Such pollution can be reduced by proper
monitoring and maintenance. Awareness and knowledge regarding the adverse
effects of the hydrocarbons and related pollutants and their means of abatement is
absolutely necessary to curb this problem.
