Bhubaneswar 2Associate Professor, V.S.S.U.T, Burla 3Mtech Student, Civil Engg. Department, C.E.T, Bhubaneswar, Abstract: - In the present research program the status of The Mahanadi watershed is the most developed and pollution of water of a major river namely Mahanadi of Odisha urbanized region in the state of Odisha. The increasing (downstream of Hirakud dam) has been analyzed. The study deterioration of water quality of the watershed is mainly was conducted to assess and ascertain the physico-chemical attributed to the uncontrolled and improper disposal of properties of Mahanadi river water from sixteen different solid and toxic waste from industrial effluents, agricultural water quality monitoring stations of State Pollution Control Board. The analysis was carried out by taking certain runoff and other human activities. This alarming water important water quality determining parameters like pH, pollution not only causing degradation of water quality but Dissolved Oxygen (DO), Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD), also threatens human health and balance of aquatic Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), Chloride, Total Dissolved ecosystem, and economic development of the state. Oxygen (TDS), Nitrate, Sulphates, Total Hardness (TH), In the present study, data matrix obtained during 14 years Electrical Conductivity (EC) and Fluoride. Analyzed monitoring program (2000 to 2014) is subjected to different parameters like pH, DO, TH, Chloride, Sulphate and TDS multivariate statistical approach to extract information were found within permissible limit prescribed by IS 10500 about the similarities or dissimilarities between sampling except Nitrate and Fluoride content which exceeds at some sites, and the influences of possible sources on water sites. It is realized from the study that the main pollutant of water in quality parameters of the Mahanadi watershed. Mahanadi is the sewerage systems influenced by urban and industrial growths in Sambalpur, Bbsr (D/s) and Cuttack The specific objectives of the research are to town. The study puts an alarm for utilizing Mahanadi water in ➢ Classify the watershed into several zones with different Cuttack D/s, Paradeep, Bbsr D/s and Choudwar at these zones water quality. for intense agricultural activities and industrial purposes.

INTRODUCTION: Water, a prime natural resource, is a basic need for REVIEW OF LITERATURE: sustenance of human civilization. Sustainable management Water is one of the vital needs of all living beings. Humans of water resources is an essential requirement for the growth need water in many daily activities like drinking, washing, of the state’s economy and well being of the population. As bathing, cooking etc. If the quality of water is not good then per National water policy, 2002, water resources it becomes unfit for drinking and other activities. The development and management will have to be planned for a quality of water usually described according to its physical, hydrological unit such as drainage basin as a whole or for a chemical and biological characteristics. Hence it becomes sub-basin for sustainable use incorporating quantity and necessary to find the suitability of water for drinking, quality aspects as well as environmental considerations. irrigation and Industry purpose. The water environment quality is a very important and is a Dugan [1972] suggested that all biological reactions occur in subject of major concern for economic development of any water and it is the integrated system of biological metabolic country. The water resource problems related to degradation reactions in an aqueous solution that is essential for the have increasingly been serious because of rapid maintenance of life. Pani [1986] in his study realized that industrialization and urban sprawl. Anthropogenic due to increasing industrialization on one hand and influences such as urbanization, industrial and agricultural exploding population on the other, the demands of water activities, increasing consumption of water recourses along supply have been increasing tremendously. Moreover with natural process i.e. change in precipitation inputs, considerable part of this limited quality of water is polluted erosion, effectively deteriorate surface water quality and by sewage, industrial waste and a wide range of synthetic impair their uses for drinking, industrial, agriculture, chemicals.

  • Mahanadi River Basin
    The Forum and Its Work The Forum (Forum for Policy Dialogue on Water Conflicts in India) is a dynamic initiative of individuals and institutions that has been in existence for the last ten years. Initiated by a handful of organisations that had come together to document conflicts and supported by World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), it has now more than 250 individuals and organisations attached to it. The Forum has completed two phases of its work, the first centring on documentation, which also saw the publication of ‘Water Conflicts in MAHANADI RIVER BASIN India: A Million Revolts in the Making’, and a second phase where conflict documentation, conflict resolution and prevention were the core activities. Presently, the Forum is in its third phase where the emphasis of on backstopping conflict resolution. Apart from the core activities like documentation, capacity building, dissemination and outreach, the Forum would be intensively involved in A Situation Analysis right to water and sanitation, agriculture and industrial water use, environmental flows in the context of river basin management and groundwater as part of its thematic work. The Right to water and sanitation component is funded by WaterAid India. Arghyam Trust, Bangalore, which also funded the second phase, continues its funding for the Forums work in its third phase. The Forum’s Vision The Forum believes that it is important to safeguard ecology and environment in general and water resources in particular while ensuring that the poor and the disadvantaged population in our country is assured of the water it needs for its basic living and livelihood needs.

Drought is the most supplies contamination. Droughts and floods occurred with difficult and least understood natural hazard which can occur virtually in all types of climatic regions. Therefore, improved higher peaks as well as severity over recent years.

    Middle Kolab Multipurpose Project Detailed Project Report CHAPTER 2 PHYSICAL FEATURES 2.1 GENERAL There are few places on earth that are special and Odisha is one of them. It is a fascinating land filled with exquisite temples, monuments and possessing beaches, wild life, sanctuaries and natural landscape of enchanting beauty. The project area falls in Koraput and Malkangiri district of Odisha having its geographical area as 5294.5 Sq. Km. The district is bounded by Rayagada and Srikaklam district on its East side, Bastar district on the west, Malkangiri district on South-west side, Nabarangpur district on north and Vishakhapatnam on south. Malkangiri and Koraput districts are situated at 18°35’ Latitude and 82°72’ Longitude at an average elevation of 170 and 870 m respectively from mean sea level. The district’s demographic profile makes it clear that it is a predominantly tribal and backward district with 56% tribal and 78% of the rural families below poverty line (BPL). The region is characterised by high temperature and humidity in most parts of the year and medium to high annual rainfall. There is a considerable extent of natural vegetation in this region. The hydrographical features also reflect these effects. The chapter describes the general topographical and physical features of the Kolab basin and the project command area. 2.2 PHYSIOGRAPHY Odisha State lies within latitude 17° 48 to 23° 34 and longitude 81° 24 to 87°29 and is bounded on the north by Jharkhand, on the west by Chhattisgarh, on the south by Andhra Pradesh and on the north-east by West Bengal.
