Pisharoty Prof. R. Ananthakrishnan Dr. K.R. Saha (1962-67) (1968-71 ) (1974-76) Dr. Bh.V. Ramana Murthy Shri. D.R. Sikka Prof. R.N. Keshavamurty (1978-85) (1986-92) (1992-96) INTRODUCTION The need to understand the mechanism of monsoon and other weather systems and climate related processes in the tropics took a concrete shape soon after the third World Meteorological Organisation (WMO) Congress in 1959 recommended the creation of meteorological research and training Institutes in the tropical countries. Acting on this recommendation, the Government of India established the Institute of Tropical Meteorology (ITM) on 17 November 1962, at Pune, as a distinct unit of the India Meteorological Department (IMD). Subsequently, ITM was made an autonomous research organisation and renamed as the Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology (IITM), on 1 April 1971. The Institute has, since then, grown into a leading research centre of international repute in various aspects of atmospheric sciences, particularly those concerning monsoons and tropical climate. With more than 100 scientists engaged in different research programmes devoted to tropical meteorology, the Institute is widely acclaimed to be one of its kind in the world. The work at the Institute, over the years, has been marked by significant achievements in research as well as physical development of the infrastructure including its campus. Meteorology and atmospheric sciences have seen tremendous research and development activities during the last few decades.

ISSN 0973-4570 Volume 13, Number 1 (2020), pp. 95-103 © Research India Publications http://www.ripublication.com/ijlr.htm Study of Water Quality Parameters of Mula-Mutha River at Pune, Maharashtra (India) S.D. Jadhav1, M.S. Jadhav2 1Department of Basic Sciences & Humanities, Bharati Vidyapeeth (Deemed To Be University), College of Engineering, Pune 411043, Maharashtra, India., 2 Department of Civil Engineering, Sinhgad Technical Education Society’s Sou., Venutai Chavan Polytechnic, Pune, Maharashtra, India. Abstract Water is one of the most important compounds in the world. The contamination and pollution of water is of great concern in the world for the developing countries like India. The question of water pollution has acquired a critical stage. Human activities, industries, hospitals, sewage water, agricultural diffused pollution are some of the sources of water pollution. Drinking water quality is one of the important environmental health detriments. Use of safe drinking water is a foundation for the control and prevention of water born diseases. In this work we have analyzed Mula-Mutha river water quality for drinking purpose. Various river water parameters were analyzed and are compared to established standards given by WHO. The river water analysis showed that the river water is not suitable for potable use in city area. Keywords: Mula-Mutha River, Pune City, Physico-chemical analysis, Water pollution INTRODUCTION The entire Pune City is covered by Mula-Mutha rivers. River Mula originates from Mulshi Dam which forms Mulshi Lake. River Mutha originates from Panshet Dam Via Khadakwasla Dam. It also flows through city of Pune and meets to river Mula at Shivajinagar area of Pune city, to that part it called as Sangam Bridge.

  • CHAPTER I I Chapter I
    CHAPTER I i Chapter I INTRODUCTION Prologue : Coates (1981) while discussing the subject matter of environmental geology and providing guidelines to serve as focal themeg! for various topics, putforth ten concepts dealing with physical systems and geological fundamentals, causes and status of problems, and resolution of problems and environmental ethics. One of these concepts says that the human-induced changes of the land and water invariably produce environmental feedback system. Feedback is the environmental manifestation of Newton's second law of motion, that is, for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Man when enters the physical system and tries to modify one or more of its components breaks the boundary and creates noise rather than music. The ways, scales and time-frumes of feedback differ and depend upon the manner, degree and intensity of the man-induced changes. When man constructs the dam to get water tjor drinking, agricultural or industrial purposes prevents the floods that can fertile the land downstreams, when he circulates the stored water through network of channels that create the problem of water logging and in the process he adversely changes the - 2 - hydrogeological regime. In order to compensate unfavourable changes he then starts constructing other types of minor structures which can maintain the hydrogeological regime of the downstream areas. In both cases, tfe-e major and minor structures, he selects the river or stream basins as logical areal units within the framework of which he conveniently collects, analyses and interprets the desired data and decides the points where hydrological cycle can be Intervened.
