Water pollution can be identified by testing its PH level and Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD)  Water pollution is the contamination of water bodies (e.g. lakes, rivers, oceans, aquifers and groundwater). This form of environmental degradation occurs when pollutants are directly or indirectly discharged into water bodies without adequate treatment to remove harmful compounds. Acid rains, dumping of chemicals into the water by individuals, industries, and communities.; steam from coal mine drainage etc affect the pH of the water in its reservoir. Thus by testing the pH of water, on the scale from 1 to 14, the pollution in water can be identified.  Biochemical oxygen demand is a measure of the quantity of oxygen used by microorganisms (e.g., aerobic bacteria)  in the oxidation of organic matter. This value varies with the amount of pollution in water hence pollution can be determined by BOD.

The operating system maintains management information about a process in a process control block (PCB). Modern operating systems allow a process to be divided into multiple threads of execution, which share all process management information except for information directly related to execution. This information is held in a thread control block (TCB).
Threads in a process can execute different parts of the program code at the same time. They can also execute the same parts of the code at the same time, but with different execution state:
They have independent current instructions; that is, they have (or appear to have) independent program counters.
They are working with different data; that is, they are (or appear to be) working with independent registers
