SUJOY PATRA iii ABSTRACT Damodar River, a rain fed tributary of lower Ganga and one of the major rivers in East India, originates from Chotanagpur plateau of Jharkhand and ends at the confluence of Hoogly river in West Bengal. The river plays a key role in providing a source of drinking water, water for irrigation and power, industrial needs and coal mining activities in the Damodar River Basin. The river, once known as the `River of Sorrow' because of the flood havoc it used to cause, has now turned into a `River of Agony' due to the environmental degradation of the river resulting from the indiscriminate discharge of domestic, industrial and mining wastes from the basin. A river stretch of approximately 68 km from the downstream of Panchet Dam to the upstream of Durgapur Barrage in West Bengal passing through main industrial belt of the state and covering important cities like Kulti, Asansol, Raniganj and Durgapur has been selected for the study. The stretch is receiving a large number of point and non-point sources of pollution from thermal power plants, coalieries and coal based industries, steel, cement, fertilizers, chemical and other plants as well as domestic and agricultural areas that lead to the pollution to river either directly or through a numerous drains and nullahs. In the present study, 45 grab samples were collected from the main river, its tributaries, nullahs, industrial drains and municipalities and analyzed in situ / in laboratories for different water quality parameters in the month of January and February 2008. The work also involved the assessment of population, land use pattern, agriculture, industry and mining activities quantitatively and qualitatively in the study area. The work further involved in transformation of the measured WQ parameters into a single value index using original as well as modified NSF WQI system. The result reveals a good WQ profile of the river stretch, but meagre conditions of nullahs. Based upon the results, a WQ map of the study area has been prepared which shows the locations and extent of polluted stretches. When compared with CPCB and Indian standards for individual parameters, it is found that coliform and BOD are the most critical parameters indicating sewage pollution in the study stretch. Existing conservation measures are identified and future management plan is suggested including installation of 2 x 100 MLD STPs and 1 x 60 MLD STP, CETPs, low cost toilets, solid waste management system etc. along with non-technical aspects like public awareness, enforcement of laws etc. to improve the overall quality of the river water. iv CONTENTS Particular Page No. CANDIDATE'S DECLARATION i ACKNOWLEDGEMENT ii ABSTRACT iv CONTENTS v LIST OF TABLES x LIST OF FIGURES xii LIST OF PLATES xii NOTATIONS AND ABBREVIATIONS xiii CHAPTER -1 : INTRODUCTION 1.1 GENERAL I 1.2 GLOBAL WATER SCENARIO 1 1.3 WATER SCENARIO OF INDIA 4 1.3.1 Fresh Water Bodies in India 5 1.3.1.1 Surface water 5 1.3.1.2 Ground water 5 1.3.2 Indian River System 5 1.3.3 Pollution Stresses of Rivers 7 1.3.4 River Conservation in India 7 1.4 THE DAMODAR RIVER BASIN 9 1.5 THE STUDY AREA 12 1.6 OBJECTIVE AND SCOPE OF THE STUDY 12 1.7 ORGANIZATION OF THESIS 13 CHAPTER -2: LITERATURE REVIEW 2.1 GENERAL 14 2.2 STUDIES ON POLLUTION PROFILE OF RIVERS 14 2.3 STUDIES ON POLLUTION PROFILE OF RIVER DAMODAR 16 2.3.1 Damodar River in Jharkhand 16 v 2.3.2 Damodar River in West Bengal 17 2.3.3 Entire Damodar River Basin Study 18 2.4 TOOLS FOR ASSESSMENT OF POLLUTION PROFILE OF A RIVER 20 2.4.1 BOD and DO Models 20 2.4.2 Water Quality Indices 21 2.4.2.1 Basic requirements for WQI 21 2.4.2.2 Different types of WQI 22 2.4.2.3 Indian WQI 23 2.4.2.4 Selection of a particular WQI for this thesis 25 2.4.3 Water Quality Maps 25 2.4.4 Computer Automated Tools 25 CHAPTER -3: DAMODAR RIVER STRETCH AND CAUSES OF POLLUTION 3.1 GENERAL 26 3.1.1 Water Quality and Pollution 26 3.1.2 Pollution Profile of a River 26 3.1.3 Water Quality Standards 27 3.2 DETALIS OF STUDY STRETCH 28 3.2.1 Location 28 3.2.2 Geology 29 3.2.3 Climate 29 3.2.4 Topography 29 3.2.5 Drainage 29 3.2.6 Soil and Mineral 29 3.2.7 Land Use Pattern 30 3.2.8 Ecology 30 3.2.9 Demography 31 3.3 WATER QUALITY STATUS OF THE STUDY STRETCH 31 vi 3.4 CAUSES OF POLLUTION IN THE STUDY STRETCH 31 3.4.1 Industrial Effluents 31 3.4.2 Mining Activity 36 3.4.2.1 Coal reserves 36 3.4.2.2 Type of coal mines 36 3.4.2.3 Other mines 36 3.4.2.4 Impact on river water 36 3.4.3 Agricultural Runoff 37 3.4.3.1 Agricultural production 37 3.4.3.2 Impact on the river water 37 3.4.4 Municipal Discharges 37 3.4.5 Fly Ash Problems 39 3.4.6 Other Sources of Pollution 39 3.5 DAMODAR ACTION PLAN 42 CHAPTER -4: METHODOLOGY FOR ASSESSMENT OF RIVER POLLUTION PROFILE 4.1 GENERAL 43 4.2 SELECTION OF WATER QUALITY PARAMETERS 43 4.3 SELECTION OF WATER QUALITY INDEX SYSTEM 44 4.3.1 Modified Structure of

  • Impact of Coal Mining on Environment: a Study of Raniganj and Jharia Coal Field in India Sribas Goswami1
    Impact of Coal Mining on Environment: A Study of Raniganj and Jharia Coal Field in India Sribas Goswami1 Abstract Coal mining adversely affects the eco-system as a whole. On the unstable earth; the unresting mankind constantly uses a variety of resources for their daily lives. Coal is recognized to have been the main source of energy in India for many decades and contributes to nearly 27% of the world’s commercial energy requirement. Coal is mainly mined using two methods – surface or ‘opencast’ and underground mining. The geological condition determines the method of mining. Coal mining is usually associated with the degradation of natural resources and the destruction of habitat. This causes invasive species to occupy the area, thus posing a threat to biodiversity. Huge quantities of waste material are produced by several mining activities in the coal mining region. If proper care is not taken for waste disposal, mining will degrade the surrounding environment. The method of waste disposal affects land, water and air and in turns the quality of life of the people in the adjacent areas. This paper throws light on the burning issues of coal mines and its impact on the environment. Keywords: coal mining, development, displacement, explosive, pollution Introduction: Mining activity puts tremendous pressure on local flora and fauna, particularly where division of forest land for mining takes place. The effect of mining on ground water level, silting of surrounding water bodies and land are also of great concern. Coal mining contributes greatly towards the economic development of the nation, although it also has a great impact upon human health.

  • Study of Water Quality of Swarnrekha River, Ranchi, Jharkhand, India
    AEGAEUM JOURNAL ISSN NO: 0776-3808 Study of water quality of Swarnrekha River, Ranchi, Jharkhand, India Suresh Kumar 1, Sujata kumari 2 1. Dr. Shyama Prasad Mukherjee University, Ranchi, Jharkhand, India 2. Ranchi University, Ranchi, Jharkhand, India Corresponding Author: [email protected] Abstract The name of river “Swarnrekha” is given after in the ancient period due to the occurrence of “gold streaks” in the river water or river sediments. The river originated from a “seepage cum underground well”, locally called “Ranichuan” at the Nagari village of the Ranchi district. It is the first river which originates from seepage well locally called “Chuan” basically a great seepage well having a catchment area. According to Hindu Mythology, it is said that this Ranichuan was carved by the lord Rama by his arrow while Sita, his wife, was feeling thirsty during the period of Ramayana. In this way, we say that the river is basically originated from the seepage water or ground water. It travels towards the south east of Ranchi to East Singhbhum to Sarikhela and finally confluence with Damodar River at cretina mouth of the river. Previously, it was very pure form of drinkable water and day by day its quality deteriorated due to the anthropogenic activities and ultimately whole stretches of the river turned into garbage field and most polluted water streams. So, now we can say the river turned from gold streak to garbage streak and not suitable for the human beings without treatment. Physical, Chemical and microbial properties of the river water from point of origin to the lower chutia is deterioted such as water is very clean at the site of origin and became gradually hazy and dirt as it crosses through the habitants or settlements.

  • CHALLENGES in EFFICIENT WATER MANAGEMENT in DAMODAR RIVER VALLEY - ROLE of DVC 1 2 Dipankar Chaudhuri ; Satyabrata Banerjee
    CHALLENGES IN EFFICIENT WATER MANAGEMENT IN DAMODAR RIVER VALLEY - ROLE OF DVC 1 2 Dipankar Chaudhuri ; Satyabrata Banerjee Abstract The Damodar River Valley has an extensive history of developmental and planning activities since 1863. DVC was formed in the year 1948 by the act of Parliament to carry out the responsibilities for monitoring and developing this large watershed in an integrated manner. It is well aware that all the projects, planned originally could not be implemented till date by the DVC and the participatory states. Again, silt depositions in the existing reservoirs and channels due to erosions at the upper valley have reduced their respective storage and flowing capacities remarkably. On the other hand, demand of water has been increased many folds within the valley due to growth of industries, population etc. With passing of time, socio- economic and political condition of the valley has also changed a lot. So, considering the different constraints, DVC is trying to manage all its statutory obligations with its limitations. Performances of the operations in the different fields of activities like flood moderation, irrigation, municipal and irrigation water supply, Hydropower etc. have been studied elaborately in this article. Lots of new commendable initiatives to restore the lost-capacities and to increase the storage facilities have also been discussed. A Master Plan of the ecofriendly sustainable developmental activities of the valley in the different projected scenarios has already been prepared by DVC which has also been described in brief. Some scopes have been identified to take up a few new small Hydro schemes at different locations in the upper valley.
