  • 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).

Classic Printer, 93, D.D. Road, Kolkata-700048 PREFACE River Yamuna, also called Kalindi in some areas, is the largest tributary of Ganga having a run of 1376 km draining an area of 3,66,223 sq.km. Its catchment area of 3,425,848 km2 is spread over 7 Northem States. Yamuna basin has been well developed from time Immemorial. Great civilizations from Mahabharat (Kurukshetra, lndraprastha (Delhi), Mathura) to Moghul (Agra) to Maratha times (Indore, Gwalior) all dwelt within its catchment area. Presence of all these civilizations show that Yamuna basin was well developed with regard to agriculture, industrialization and urbanization. Resources of upper Yamuna have been utilized from mid historical per~odsof Ferozshah Tughlak times. He was the first to utilize Yamuna water for irrigation. A 160 km long canal from Tajewallah to present Hissar district of Hatyana was calved in his regime. Mughal king Akbar extended the canal right up to Delhi. In 19Ih century Britishers rebuilt the irrigation system by constructing Tajewallah barrage in 1899 and calving 2 main irrigation canals, Westem and Eastern Yamuna Canal, the former irrigating present day Haryana and the latter Western U.P.

  • Comparative Studies on Phytoplanktonic
    Comparative Studies on Phytoplanktonic Community Structure of River Yamuna and Western Yamuna Canal in Relation to Industrial Pollution in Yamunanagar, Haryana Priyanka Malhotra 1, Girish Chopra 2, Anita Bhatnagar 3 Department of Zoology, Kurukshetra University, Kurukshetra- 136119, INDIA ABSTRACT Phytoplankton contribute significant role in aquatic ecosystem as their abundance is directly related with river’s water quality.The present studies deals with the phytoplanktonic population of river Yamuna and Western Yamuna Canal and the effect of industrial pollution on their distribution and diversity. Three sampling stations were selected on river Yamuna and western Yamuna canal as pre-effluent point, point of influx of effluents and post effluent point (few Kms downstream from point of influx of effluents).Thirtyfive taxa from river Yamuna and sixteen taxa from western Yamuna canal have been observed belonging to Chlorophyceae, Bacillariophyceae, Cyanophyceae andDinophyceae. Among Chlorophyceae Chlorella , Ulothrix , Dactyloccous , Netrium and Volvox were the common taxa observed at both river Yamuna and Western Yamuna canal. Among Bacillariophyceae and Cyanophyceae Surirella, Navicula, Synedra, Oscillatoria and Synechococcus were the common taxa at both the selected sites. However they all showed a decreasing trend at the point of influx of pollution from pre-effluent point but in case of western Yamuna canal their number further goes down at post effluent point. In river Yamuna only taxon Dactyloccous showed a decreasing trend at post effluent point. Cladophora, Ankitodes, Chaetophora, Diatoma, Spirulina and Nostoc were the taxa found only in western Yamuna canal but not in river Yamuna. The abundance, distribution, total population, group percentage and species diversity were studied andcorrelated with pollution indicating water quality characteristics.

  • Chapter - Ii Water Harvesting – Our Age Old Tradition
    CHAPTER - II WATER HARVESTING – OUR AGE OLD TRADITION CHAPTER - II WATER HARVESTING – OUR AGE OLD TRADITION 2.0 HISTORICAL OVERVIEW India is a country with very deep historical roots and strong cultural traditions. These are reflected in our social fabric and institutions of community life. In spite of social movements of varied nature through the millennia we have retained the spirit and essence of these traditions and have remained attached to our roots. Some of our traditions, evolved and developed by our forefathers thousands of years ago have played an important role in different spheres of life. Most important among these is the tradition of collecting, storing and preserving water for various uses. It all started at the dawn of civilization with small human settlements coming up on the banks of rivers and streams. When due to vagaries of nature the rivers and streams dried up or the flow dwindled, they moved away to look for more reliable sources of water. In due course of time large settlements came up along perennial rivers that provided plentiful water. As the population increased, settlements developed into towns and cities and agriculture expanded, techniques were developed to augment water availability by collecting and storing rain water, tapping hill and underground springs and water from snow and glacier melt etc. Water came to be regarded as precious and its conservation and preservation was sanctified by religion. Various religious, cultural and social rituals prescribed, interalia, purification and cleansing with water. Water itself had many applications in different rituals. Development of reliable sources of water like, storage reservoirs, ponds, lakes, irrigation canals etc.

  • India Western Yamuna Canal Hydroelectric Project (ID-P7)
    India Western Yamuna Canal Hydroelectric Project (ID-P7) Evaluator: Akihiro Nakagome, Hiromi Suzuki, S. Field Survey: October 2006/February 2007 1. Project Profile and Japan’s ODA Loan China Nepal New Delhi Bhutan Project site Bangladesh Myanmar India Map of project area Control room 1.1 Background Haryana, a state in northern India, was, until 1966, part of the state of Punjab. It has a population of about 22 million (70% of which is rural), an area of 44,212 km2 (or 1% of the total area of India), and most of the land is flat. It is bounded by Punjab and Himachal Pradesh in the north, Rajasthan in the southwest, and Uttarakhand and Uttar Pradesh in the east bordering the Yamuna River. In 1993, when it accounted for 42.5% of Haryana’s GDP, agriculture was still the linchpin of the state economy, but in 2004, it dropped to 28.2%. In the meantime, the industry’s contribution to the state economy remained at the 26–27% mark in 2004, while the service industry’s contribution increased to 140%. This change in the industrial structure of India is manifested in the trend in electricity consumption by sector. The percentage of total electricity consumption that agriculture accounts for peaked in FY2000 and has been on the decline ever since. By contrast, the percentage of total electricity consumption attributed to the industrial sector has been rising at a rate of around 36% from FY2000 to FY2004; therefore, the supply and demand of electric power has remained stringent. In addition, given that the state of Haryana has hammered out a policy of strengthening the manufacturing and service industries, it can be seen that the development of new power sources and enhancement of power generating efficiency will continue to be important issues in the months and years to come.
