The question asks to identify the statement that is not correct regarding the Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act.

Statement Analysis

  • Option 1: The Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act was formulated in 1974. This statement is factually correct.
  • Option 2: The main objective of the Act is the prevention, control, and abatement of water pollution. This statement accurately reflects the purpose of the Act.
  • Option 3: This statement claims the Act is designed solely to assess pollution levels and does not include provisions for punishing polluters. This is incorrect. The Act clearly establishes penalties and punishments for violating its provisions, including water pollution offenses.
