Your answer is India and China.

<u>Problems faced in India(water and air pollution)</u>

<em>A diverse range of pollution sources co-exists in urban environments. Conventional sources of air pollution include vehicular emissions, coal-based power plants, fossil fuel consumption in industries and some agricultural activities such as fertilizer application and farm fires. Air pollutants can be natural or may be the result of various anthropogenic activities. Examples include production of brick kilns that use raw wood, agricultural waste or poor quality coal used as a fuel, the roadside burning of organic and plastic waste, cooking that involves the burning of solid biomass or cow dung and the unintentional burning of municipal solid waste at landfills, and construction activities (Kumar et al, 2015) (Figure 3). The local emission inventories point to about 5300 and 7550 tons yr−1 of PM10 and PM2.5 release from waste burning in Delhi, respectively, while the corresponding emissions from construction are 3250 and 10,750 tons yr−1 (Guttikunda and Goel, 2013). Other such sources include diesel generators for temporary power generation in cities, traffic congestion, and </em>

<u>Problems faced in China(water and air pollution)</u>

For over a decade in China, China has been the world’s largest annual emitter of greenhouse gases. Regardless of some pro-ecological alternatives and investments in alternative energy sources, the country’s emissions keep growing, contrary to the worldwide trends.

That seems to be the most worrying part. The other main global polluters, for instance, the US, have been successfully pursuing the reduction of greenhouse gas and particulate matter emissions. That’s not the case with China, which continues to fulfill its growing demand for energy with fossil fuels.

What role did steam technology play in the industrail revoluation
Ulleksa [173]

Steam power  originally developed slowly over a period of several hundred years until it reached to actual practical application at the beginning of the industrial  revolution. The steam engine was one of the most important technologies of the industrial revolution. It was a simple device that used boiling water to create mechanical motion to be utilized in useful work.

Early mills used water power to operate and had to be located near running water such as a river which would freeze in winter and the water was not available, also in dry spells. Flooding would also stop operations.  But by using a steam engine, a factory could be located anywhere and could operate the whole year round.

From mines to mills, steam engines found many applications in a variety of industries, improving productivity and technology such as Trevithick's high pressure engine that revolutionized transport. Steam engines found their way to boats, railways, farms and road vehicles.
