Water pollution crises from introduction of foreign materials capable of deteriorating water into a water body, hence positing negative effect on aquatic lies and human health. Industrial effluents account for several point sources of water pollution. While developed nations adopt stringent water quality requirement to control river pollution from point and non-point sources, the situation is different in most developing countries like Nigeria. waste water treatment in Nigeria is not given the necessary priority it deserves and therefore, industrial waste are discharged into receiving water bodies without treatment and the consequences of which include among others, river pollution, loss of aquatic life uptake of polluted water by plants, diseases burden and shorter life expectancy in developing countries. The present review intends to investigates the level of water pollution caused by level of water pollution caused by industrial effluents from tanneries textiles, palmoil mill, brewere and soft drink in Nigeria with a view to provide useful information to the researchers on current research status authorities concern on the management, control and investigation of pollution cases, water quality surveillance and forecasting water quality.
