  • 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.

SECL board approved the project for a normative capacity of 2.00 Mty and a peak production capacity of 3.00 Mty on 09/09/2008 with an initial capital of Rs.203.82 Crores. The proposed new project falls under the administrative control of Sohagpur Area of SECL.The Project Report is based on the “Geological Report on Batura Block” prepared by CMPDI in Feb 2007. Total four coal horizons with average thickness varying from 0.1m to 4.63m have been considered in the Project report. Total extractable reserves have been estimated as 33.44 Mty and OB as 307.09 Mty. The average stripping ratio works out to 9.18 Cum/tonne.

  • Pre-Feasibility Report for Sahapur East Underground
    PRE-FEASIBILITY REPORT FOR SAHAPUR EAST UNDERGROUND COAL MINE PROJECT PROPOSED CAPACITY – 0.70 MTPA 1. INTRODUCTION Sahapur East Underground Coal Mine Project is a part of Sohagpur Coalfield. Sohagpur coalfield is the main coal bearing area of South Rewa. It is located in the northern belt of Son-Mahanadi basin. It is a part of the large sediments filled Gondwana trough, in the drainage basin of the Son. The coalfield extends over a total area of about 3,000 sq km. It is about 100 km. long in the east - west direction and has a maximum width of 50 km. The coal belt stretches from near Ghunghuti in the west up to Hasia nala in the east. The coal bearing area of Sohagpur coal field is bounded by latitudes 23°05’ – 23°30’ and longitudes 81°30’ – 82°12’. This area falls mainly in Shahdol District of Madhya Pradesh, while a small area is included in Umaria and Surguja Districts. Shahpur East Coal Block area falls under administrative control of Shahdol district, in Madhya Pradesh state. It lies in the north western part of Sohagpur coalfield, about 12 km. South- West of Shahdol town, the district headquarters. The block is located at a distance of 75 km. from Umaria town Block area is 659 Ha as the per the vesting order dated 3rd March 2021. The high-quality coal (G8 grade) produced through eco-friendly fully mechanized underground mining method will be used.

  • Particulate Matter Source Contributions for Raipur-Durg-Bhilai Region of Chhattisgarh, India
    ARTICLE IN PRESS Aerosol and Air Quality Research, x: 1–13, xxxx Copyright © Taiwan Association for Aerosol Research ISSN: 1680-8584 print / 2071-1409 online doi: 10.4209/aaqr.2018.06.0237 Particulate Matter Source Contributions for Raipur-Durg-Bhilai Region of Chhattisgarh, India Sarath K. Guttikunda1,2*, Pallavi Pant3, K.A. Nishadh1, Puja Jawahar1 1 Urban Emissions, New Delhi, India 2 Division of Atmospheric Sciences, Desert Research Institute, Reno, NV 89512, USA 3 Department of Environmental Health Sciences, University of Massachusetts, Amherst, MA 01003, USA ABSTRACT In Chhattisgarh, Raipur-Durg-Bhilai (RDB) tri-city area hosts the new administrative capital of the state, interconnected by an expressway forming the industrial corridor and is one of the largest steel manufacturing hubs in India. Between 1998 and 2016, the satellite and global model data derived concentrations show a 50% increase in the overall PM2.5 pollution in the region. The average PM10 concentration measured at commercial, industrial, and residential monitoring stations is 125 –3 ± 52 µg m in 2015. None of the stations currently measure PM2.5. The annual average PM10 concentrations in 2011 is 175 ± 110 µg m–3, which translates to 28% improvement in 5 years. A multiple pollutant emissions inventory was established for this urban airshed (extending 60 km × 30 km), with annual estimates of 41,500 tons of PM2.5, 59,650 tons of PM10, 7,600 tons of SO2, 67,000 tons of NOx, 163,300 tons of CO, 118,150 tons of NMVOCs, and 3.1 million tons of CO2 for 2015, and further projected to 2030 under business as usual conditions.
