  • Assessment of Water Quality Status of Son River Near Sidhi District (Madhya Pradesh) Using Water Quality Index
    © 2021 IJRTI | Volume 6, Issue 8 | ISSN: 2456-3315 Assessment of Water Quality Status of Son River near Sidhi district (Madhya Pradesh) using Water Quality Index 1Deepak Mishra, 2Dr. Shailza Verma 1Student, 2Assistant Professor Department of Environmental Engineering Jabalpur Engineering College Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh (482001), India Abstract: The Son River of Sidhi district, Madhya Pradesh (MP), Central India, plays a vital role in cultivating a monetary and ordinary relationship with the people. Since it gives satisfactory rich fields and advancement inclines water framework practices and fulfills individuals' step-by-step needs. It is essential for the people of Sidhi and Madhya Pradesh because of the rich regular asset. The water quality index (WQI) tool is used to determine the quality of river Son by selecting four sampling stations. Maximum WQI value gained during the post-monsoon season in all of the stations followed by monsoon and pre-monsoon. Sampling stations upstream of the river experience deteriorating WQI due to the presence of the hydroelectric dam, changing landuse practices, increasing settlements and deforestation in the catchment and river banks. WQI showed good water quality, which can be used for drinking, irrigation and other purposes. The assessment found that pH, DO, and BOD contributes a huge part in affecting the WQI of the stream. Our study found that the condition of water quality necessities to accept suitable organization procedures and assurance attempts. It is inferred that WQI was demonstrated as an instrument or device in differentiating the water quality of different sources. It gives the public a general considered potential water-related issues in a particular area.

CHAMBAL BADLANDS: AN INTRODUCTION Land degradation is considered to be one of the most severe global environmental challenges (Eswaran et al., 2001; Lal, 2001; Scherr and Yadav, 2001). It has numerous economic, social and ecological consequences. Land degradation is also an important geomorphic process in many parts of the world and in a range of landscapes. Its causal determinants, in terms of local specificities, are yet to be understood fully (Lambin et al., 2003, 2009).

  • Current Condition of the Yamuna River - an Overview of Flow, Pollution Load and Human Use
    Current condition of the Yamuna River - an overview of flow, pollution load and human use Deepshikha Sharma and Arun Kansal, TERI University Introduction Yamuna is the sub-basin of the Ganga river system. Out of the total catchment’s area of 861404 sq km of the Ganga basin, the Yamuna River and its catchment together contribute to a total of 345848 sq. km area which 40.14% of total Ganga River Basin (CPCB, 1980-81; CPCB, 1982-83). It is a large basin covering seven Indian states. The river water is used for both abstractive and in stream uses like irrigation, domestic water supply, industrial etc. It has been subjected to over exploitation, both in quantity and quality. Given that a large population is dependent on the river, it is of significance to preserve its water quality. The river is polluted by both point and non-point sources, where National Capital Territory (NCT) – Delhi is the major contributor, followed by Agra and Mathura. Approximately, 85% of the total pollution is from domestic source. The condition deteriorates further due to significant water abstraction which reduces the dilution capacity of the river. The stretch between Wazirabad barrage and Chambal river confluence is critically polluted and 22km of Delhi stretch is the maximum polluted amongst all. In order to restore the quality of river, the Government of India (GoI) initiated the Yamuna Action Plan (YAP) in the1993and later YAPII in the year 2004 (CPCB, 2006-07). Yamuna river basin River Yamuna (Figure 1) is the largest tributary of the River Ganga. The main stream of the river Yamuna originates from the Yamunotri glacier near Bandar Punch (38o 59' N 78o 27' E) in the Mussourie range of the lower Himalayas at an elevation of about 6320 meter above mean sea level in the district Uttarkashi (Uttranchal).

Peninsular river- They have a large seasonal fluctuation in volume as they are solely fed from rainfall. These river flow in valley with steep gradients. the river which end in the Bay of Bengal are called 'East flowing' river, If the river empties into the Arabian sea, it is called ' West flowing' river. Inland drainage river- The river which does not empty itself into any sea, and end with any lake or any other water body is known as Inland Drainage river. Classification Indus River Originated from Bokharchu Glacier , near Mansarover. Rivers in India Total length of about 2897 km, it fall into the Arabian sea.
