INTRODUCTION The River Yamuna is the largest tributary of River Ganga. It originates from the Yamunotri Glacier at a height of 6,387 meters on the south western slopes of Banderpooch peaks in the uppermost region of the Lower Himalaya in Uttarkashi, Uttarakhand State, and after travelling approximately a total length of 1,376 Kilometers through Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, Delhi, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh finally meets with the river Ganges at Triveni Sangam, Prayagraj. The river is pre-dominantly snow fed and has a catchment area of approximately 7,083 square Kilometers and joins the Ganges at Sangam (25°25'25.75"N, 81°53'11.50"E) in Prayagraj District of U.P. The area under study is a part of the Indo-Gangetic Plains, which lies between the latitudes 28°31'2.24”N to 25°25'22.57"N and the longitudes 77°20' 43.63” E to 81°50'23.14"E in the districts of Uttar Pradesh. The river receives considerable amounts of wastewater every day from the industries and sewage system flow from municipal area of city Gautam Budh Nagar, Vrindvan, Mathura, Agra, Firozabad, Etawah, Kalpi, Hamirpur and Prayagraj etc. which leads to deterioration of its water quality. Fig : 1.1, Shahadra Drain Meeting in Yamuna -- 1 -- As per the last year monitoring data of river water quality in the identified polluted stretch of River Yamuna, water quality of River Yamuna from Vrindavan to Agra- D.O. is found in the range of 3.0 to 6.5 mg/l & B.O.D. range is from 9.0 to 13.0 mg/l. Dissolved Oxygen in Balua Ghat (Prayagraj) is 8.2 mg/l & B.O.D. is 2.2 mg/l which is satisfactory. The results point that the concerned stretch of River Yamuna upto Agra is highly polluted and after meeting River Betwa at Hamirpur, the water quality gradually improves. The climate of the area is characterized by a moderate type of subtropical monsoon. The major portion of rainfall in the identified stretch of river is received during the monsoon period. The major land use is in agriculture. The soil of the area - District, Noida- Sand, Clay, Loam; Agra- Sand, Silt, Clay; Mathura- Sand, Silt, Loam; Etawah- Alluvial, Clay; Kanpur- Sand, Clay, Loam; Hamirpur- Sand, Clay, Loam, Black Soil; Orai, Dist. Jalaun- Loamy, Alluvial; Fatehpur- Sandy, Loam; Allahabad- Clay Loam and is free from carbonates. River Yamuna has a total length of 1,376 kilometers (approximately) out of which the said stretch is about 562.0 kilometer long. The river receives considerable amounts of wastewater every day from the industries and sewage system flow from different municipal area Gautam Budh Nagar, Vrindvan, Mathura, Agra, Firozabad, Etawah, Kalpi, Hamirpur and Prayagraj which leads to deterioration of its water quality. There are 300 industries in district Gautam Budh Nagar, Bulandshahar, Aligarh, Vrindvan, Mathura, Agra, Firozabad, Etawah and Prayagraj. Mainly Textile, Slaughter Houses, Electroplating and other industries along with villages situated along the course of River Yamuna discharges their effluent and sewage into the river. -- 2 -- Fig:1.2: Google Earth image showing Polluted stretch of River Yamuna from Asgarpur to Etawah. -- 3 -- Fig:1.3: Google Earth image showing Polluted stretch of River Yamuna from Shahpur to Balughat (Prayagraj) -- 4 -- 1.1 POLLUTED STRETCH OF RIVER YAMUNA FROM ASGARPUR TO ETAWAH & SHAHPUR TO BALUAGHAT (PRAYAGRAJ) River Yamuna begins from Yamunotri and flows South and towards South east coursing through the States of Uttrakhand, Haryana, Delhi (UT), Uttar Pradesh in which major cities/towns of identified polluted stretch [Asgarpur To Etawah & Shahpur To Baluaghat (Prayagraj)] are Gautam Budh Nagar, Bulandshahar, Aligarh, Vrindvan, Mathura, Agra, Firozabad, Etawah, Kalpi. Hamirpur and Prayagraj contributing pollution load to River Yamuna. During its course from the origin to its confluence in River Yamuna at Prayagraj, it traverses a distance of about 1376 kilometres, out of which polluted stretch is about 625 kilometres which lies in the districts of Gautam Budh Nagar to Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh. There are 121 villages located on the banks of this Priority-1- polluted stretch of river Yamuna. The cumalative population of these villages is Approx. 3,38,999. The estimated sewage generation is 34.49 MLD from these villages. There are 300 water polluting industries located along the catchment area of the present stretch of Yamuna River Appendix-3. The sewage & effluent of the catchment area through 35 Drains in River Yamuna of which 18 Drains are mixed and 17 are purely domestic. The industries are grossly polluting in nature which includes Sugar, Pulp & Paper, Distillery, Textile, Slaughter House etc. -- 5 -- There is a textile industrial cluster in Mathura at Site-A, UPSIDC, Industrial Area, Mathura in which there are 30 Saari Washing & Printing Units. Out of which presently only - 20 are functional and remaining 10 lying closed due to there own reasons. The installed capacity of CETP Mathura is 6.5 MLD, but at present due to self closure of industries, the capacity being utilized 3.0 MLD only. The treated effluent being discharged in the municipal drain (Ambakhar Drain), which ultimately leads to river Yamuna and has been partially tapped and diverted to STP Trans-Yamuna, treated effluent is discharged in to Yamuna River through Ambakhar Drain. -- 6 -- 2. OBJECTIVE OF THE ACTION PLAN The objective of the Action Plans is to restore the quality of this priority -1 polluted stretch of River Yamuna to be fit for at least bathing purposes within 06 months from the date of action plan gets approved, as directed by Hon'ble National Green Tribunal vide its order dated 20th September 2018 passed in the original Application No 673/2018 in the matter of NEWS ITEM PUBLISHED IN 'THE HINDU' AUTHORED BY SHRI JACOB KOSHY titled " More river stretches are now critically polluted: CPCB. -- 7 -- 3. POLLUTION INVENTORY 3.1 DETAILS OF DRAINS CONTRIBUTING THE POLLUTION In the polluted stretch of River Yamuna, which is under question, total discharge of 856.101 MLD is estimated in the form of sewage and industrial effluent through 35 drains. As per desk inventory, about 807.53 MLD of sewage and 43.80 MLD of industrial effluent are being currently discharged into the river. The treatment of sewage is a major area of concern, as out of the total estimated sewage discharge of 807.53 MLD, only 283.51 MLD of sewage is being treated. The estimate of industrial effluent is based upon the consented discharge quantified from the units but actual industrial effluent may be more than the estimates owing to over discharge by consented industries and discharge from illegal units operating in non-conforming areas. A detailed drain wise data regarding sewage, industrial effluent, number of industries discharging into drain, status of tapping and status of installing of bar meshes etc. is given in (Appendix – 1). -- 8 -- Summary of drains contributing to the pollution of river Type of Drains Status of Drains Industries Sewage Discharge (MLD) Total S Discharge No. of Treated District Partially in the No. Drains Domestic Industrial Mixed Tapped Untapped Number Effluent Treated Untreated Total Tapped River (MLD) (MLD) 1 G.B.
