Since the start of industrial and agricultural revolutions, the water spheres are always under severe stress due to excessive usage and pollution by diverse chemical contaminants. Nitrate is one of such contaminants discharged from domestic, agricultural, and industrial sectors. Nitrate appearance in water spheres causes serious environmental issues, because it is toxic to human health, making water unpotable for human consumption, and 2) it can disturb food chains by the depletion of dissolved oxygen in water by nutrification.
