INTRODUCTION The Sai River, also referred to as the Adi Ganga, is a tributary of the Gomti River in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh. River Sai rises from a pond in village Bijgwan near Pihani in district Hardoi and travel about 600 km to form district boundary between Lucknow and Unnao. After passing through Hardoi, Raebareli and Jaunpur district where it finally joins the Gomati River at Rajepur in Jaunpur district (25°39'8.63"N 82°48'5.00"E). Therefore, the total length of River Sai from its origin point to its confluence with Gomti River at Jaunpur is approximately 750 kms which included 594 kms of polluted stretch identified under Priority-V of list of rivers for their rejuvenation and restoration. In Hardoi local call the stretch as “Jhabar” from where a river called Bhainsta take shape. The river flows for a good 10 kms before getting it more popular name Sai. The area under study is a part of the Indo-Gangetic Plains, which lies between the latitude 27°42'22.52"N to 25°39'44.86"N and the longitude 80°8'34.27"E to 82°46'45.10"E in various districts of Uttar Pradesh. The Sai catchment is bounded in north by Ghaghara catchment while in south by Ganga catchment. Throughout its journey Sai river travel in the alluvial terrain and transports the sediment derived from Himalayan terrain. In its long journey, the river receives water from other streams also namely Bhainsta, Loni, Sakarni and Bakulahi rivers. -- 1 -- Fig : 1.1, River Sai at Behta Khurd, Raebareli district As per the last year’s monitoring of river water quality in the identified polluted stretch of river Sai, falls in category –D which can be used for propagation of Wild life and Fisheries (Class – D, specified as per IS – 2296- 1982). The climate of the area is characterized by a moderate type of subtropical monsoon. The average annual rainfall in the area is about 1000 mm, out of which the main part is received during the monsoon period. The major land use is agriculture and there is no significant forest cover. The soil of the area is loam to silty loam and slightly eroded associated with fine soils. The total length of River Sai from its origin point at Pihani in Hardoi ditrict to its confluence with Gomti River at Jaunpur is approximately 750 kms which included 594 kms of polluted stretch identified under Priority- V of list of rivers for their rejuvenation and restoration. Though, it is a -- 2 -- perennial river that gets flow throughout the year. Presently, the maximum percentage of flow in the river is of domestic wastewaters. The polluted stretch of river receives considerable amounts of wastewater every day generated from various anthropogenic activities and sewage system flow from different municipal area of Unnao, Raebareli and Pratapgarh districts which leads to deterioration of its water quality. -- 3 -- Fig:1.2: Google Earth image showing stretch of River Sai from Hardoi to Jaunpur alongwith the polluted stretch from Unnao to Jaunpur -- 4 -- 1.1 POLLUTED STRETCH OF SAI RIVER FROM UNNAO TO JAUNPUR Polluted Stretch of River Sai begins from Unnao district and flows South, South east coursing through Raebareli, Pratapgarh districts ultimately confluencing with River Gomti at Rajepur in Jaunpur district of Uttar Pradesh. During its course from origin to its confluence in River Gomti at Jaunpur, it traverses a distance of about 750 Kms, out of which polluted stretch is about 594 kilometres which lies in districts Unnao to Jaunpur, Uttar Pradesh. There are 76 villages located on the banks of this Priority-V polluted stretch of river Sai. The total population of these villages is 1,71,508 which generates 17.95 MLD of sewage. There are 03 water polluting industries located in the catchment area of the present stretch of River Sai Appendix -3. Out of these 3, one chemical industry is closed itself, one Pulp & Paper unit is closed by board and one unit is semi-operational (only assembling of electronic parts is done). -- 5 -- 2. OBJECTIVE OF THE ACTION PLAN The objective of the Action Plans is to restore the quality of this priority -5 polluted stretch of River Sai 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. -- 6 -- 3. POLLUTION INVENTORY 3.1 DETAILS OF DRAINS POLLUTING RIVER SAI In the polluted stretch under question of River Sai, total discharge of 17.95 MLD is estimated in the form of sewage and no industrial effluent is discharged in the river. As per desk inventory, only 01 Industrial drain is found in Raebareli which has no discharge directly into the River Sai. The treatment of sewage is a major area of concern as total estimated sewage discharge of 17.95 MLD of sewage is being discharged without any treatment. 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. -- 7 -- Summary of drains polluting River Sai S District No. of Type of Drains Status of Drains Industries Sewage Discharge (MLD) Total Drains Discharge Domestic Industrial Mixed Tapped Untapped Partially Number Treated Treated Untreated Total No. in the Tapped Effluent River (MLD) (MLD) 1 Raebareli 05 04 01 00 -- Untapped -- 03* -- -- 12.0 12.0 12.0 2 Pratapgarh 01 01 -- -- -- Untapped -- 00 -- -- 8.95 8.95 8.95 07 06 01 03 17.95 *Non-operational Industrial units and the drain is found dry.
