  • Heavy Metal Contamination of Ganga River at Varanasi in Relation to Atmospheric Deposition
    Tropical Ecology 51(2S): 365-373, 2010 ISSN 0564-3295 © International Society for Tropical Ecology www.tropecol.com Heavy metal contamination of Ganga river at Varanasi in relation to atmospheric deposition J. PANDEY*, K. SHUBHASHISH & RICHA PANDEY Centre of Advanced Study in Botany, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi 221 005, India Abstract: We investigated the mid stream water quality of Ganga river as influenced by aerially - driven heavy metals at Varanasi, India. Twelve sampling stations were selected along a 20 km long stretch of the river. Mid stream sub-surface water samples collected at fortnightly intervals from all the sites were acid digested and analyzed for Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn. The data revealed that the mid-stream water of river Ganga at Varanasi is invariably contaminated by heavy metals. Highest concentrations of Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni and Pb were recorded during winter and that of Zn during summer season. The overall concentration of heavy metals in water showed the trend : Zn > Ni > Cr > Pb > Cu > Cd. Concentrations of all the heavy metals were high in down - stream sampling stations. Correlation analysis showed that heavy metal concentration in mid-stream water had significant positive relationship with rate of atmospheric deposition at respective sites. Although the concentrations of these metals in water remained below the permissible limits of Indian standards for drinking water, levels of Cd, Ni and Pb at three stations, were above the internationally recommended (WHO) maximum admissible concentrations (MAC). These observations suggest that use of such water for drinking may lead to potential health risk in long-run.

  • Modeling the Efficacy of the Ganga Action Plan's Restoration of The
    Modeling the Efficacy of the Ganga Action Plan’s Restoration of the Ganga River, India By Shaw Lacy A thesis submitted In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the degree of Master of Science Natural Resources and Environment at The University of Michigan August 2006 Thesis Committee: Professor Michael Wiley Professor Jonathan Bulkley Abstract. To combat rising levels of water pollution in the Ganges River, the Indian gov- ernment initiated the Ganga Action Plan (GAP) in 1984. After twenty years, it is a com- mon perception that the GAP has failed to achieve the goals of a cleaner river. Using available government data on pollution levels and hydrology, I undertook an of the GAP efficacy for fifteen pollution parameters across 52 water quality sampling points moni- tored by India’s Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) within the Ganga Basin. Dis- solved oxygen, BOD, and COD showed a significant improvement of water quality after twenty years. In addition, fecal and total coliform levels, as well as concentrations of cal- cium, magnesium, and TDS all showed a significant decline. Building on this analysis, a GIS analysis was used to create a spatial model of the majority of the Ganga River net- work using a reach-based ecological classification approach. Using recent GAP monitor- ing data, a multiple linear regression model of expected pollutant loads within each reach (VSEC unit) was created. This model was then used to inventory water quality across the entire basin, based on CPCB criteria. My analysis showed 208 river km were class A, 1,142 river km were class B, 684 river km were class C, 1,614 river km were class D, and 10,403 river km were class E.

  • Wastewater Treatment for Water Security in India
    Occasional Paper For Restricted Circulation No.13-0418 WASTEWATER TREATMENT FOR WATER SECURITY IN INDIA Meera Sahasranaman & Arijit Ganguly April-2018 INSTITUTE FOR RESOURCE ANALYSIS AND POLICY 202, Riviera, Dwarkapuri Colony, Punjagutta, Hyderabad-500082 Tel: 91-40-42617392 E-Mail:[email protected] www.irapindia.org Wastewater Treatment for Water Security in India Meera Sahasranaman and Arijit Ganguly Abstract With rapid and unplanned urbanisation and economic growth, the demand for fresh water for various purposes is on the rise in India. However, spatio-temporal variations in fresh water availability, vagaries of the monsoon and variability in climate, as well as human, development and management challenges pose great threats to water supplies in the country. While excessive withdrawal from surface and underground sources and inefficient use of water were recognised as reasons for reduced availability of fresh water with respect to space and time, the role of pollution of water sources, both surface and ground water, in reducing the quantum of available fresh water for various uses, has not received due importance. It is estimated that 75-80 per cent of water pollution in terms of volume of water polluted is from domestic sewage. This paper analyses the quality of water in surface water bodies across India. The data on water quality in rivers upstream and downstream of selected cities over a period of time was analyzed to understand the changes in crucial water quality parameters over time. The status of sewage treatment across Indian states was also studied, to understand the gaps in waste water treatment. The existing institutional and legal measures available for the control of water pollution were also analysed.

One of the important functions of the NGRBA is to prepare and implement a Ganga River Basin: Environment Management Plan (GRB EMP). A Consortium of 7 Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) has been given the responsibility of preparing Ganga River Basin: Environment Management Plan (GRB EMP) by the Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEF), GOI, New Delhi. Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) has been signed between 7 IITs (Bombay, Delhi, Guwahati, Kanpur, Kharagpur, Madras and Roorkee) and MoEF for this purpose on July 6, 2010. This report is one of the many reports prepared by IITs to describe the strategy, information, methodology, analysis and suggestions and recommendations in developing Ganga River Basin: Environment Management Plan (GRB EMP). The overall Frame Work for documentation of GRBMP and Indexing of Reports is presented on the inside cover page.

The government has recently decided to operationalise the National Financial Regulatory Authority (NFRA). What would be the functions of this organisation and why is it needed? Discuss. Approach: The main body will have two parts- functions of NFRA and its need. Introduction and conclusion is any answer is must. Relating the answer with recent turn of events (especially PNB scam) is must- to explain why the government has decided to operationalise the NFRA after the delay. Answer: Introduction: The Companies Act, 2013 proposed setting up of an independent audit regulator.
