Anthropecology is a new term coined in the year 2009, to explain the ecology of the system which is largely affected, rather directed by the multidimensional anthropogenic activities. The present civic society generates a large amount of solid waste. Further; the diversity in the quality of waste is also increasing these days. By increase in population, and the increase in demand of the agricultural produce, the globe is facing rapid reduction. In this situation a problem arises for the proper disposal of the present day solid waste. The most convenient solution which is left with us is dumping of these poisonous solid wastes in to the low lying areas, preferably the lakes. The literature deals with the ill-effects of this mal-practice, rather anthropecology of the solid waste and the perennial water bodies.

Agriculture is one of the most important activities. It is essential because belly of the globe is filled by grains only and not by the coins and currencies, whatever economic development we achieve. Thus, this is an activity of human which can be considered as the most important. Every coin has two faces; therefore, this practice of man has also its own drawback. In rural area the practice of agriculture is performed. It has been reported that the present day agriculture is not ecofriendly, it is highly mechanized and chemically managed. Large numbers of chemicals are being used in agriculture now days, in the form of insecticides, pesticides, rhodenticides, fungicides and the fertilizers. The fertilizers are rich in nitrates and phosphates. Due to crude agricultural practices these chemicals percolate through the soil surface and there are chances of groundwater pollution. The chemicals other than fertilizers are rich in a variety of heavy metals. Their percolation or runoff may lead to pollution of the water bodies directly and indirectly. DOT, BHC, aldrin, heptachlor and the other chlorinated hydrocarbons are extremely toxic and persistent. They would be causing problems, which may or may not be noticed, but ultimately it is the life of human which is affected.
