Lentic Waters in Haryana: Water Quality Status and Recommendations for Future Activities Lentic waters in Haryana: Water Quality Status and Recommendations for Future Activities Anita Bhatnagar Department of Zoology Kurukshetra University Kurukshetra [email protected] • Every day, millions of tons of inadequately treated sewage and industrial and ● agricultural wastes are poured into the world’s waters. • Every year lakes, rivers, and deltas take in the equivalent of the weight of the entire ● human population. • Every year, more people die from the consequences of unsafe water than from all ● forms of violence, including war. • These most polluted freshwater ends up in the oceans, causing serious damage to many coastal areas and fisheries and worsening our ocean and coastal resource • And, every year, water contamination of natural ecosystems affects humans directly by destroying fisheries or causing other impacts on biodiversity that affect food production. • Water forms the most indispensable, precious and the prime necessity of life • Pure water is now a scarce commodity -rapid increase in agricultural irrigation needs, -dwindling water resources - lowering of water table -the increasing water pollution on account of rapid indusralization • About 80% of the earth is covered by water • Inland fresh water availability - less than 1% • Total water resources - are 1123 Km3 Department of Zoology, Kurukshetra University ,Kurukshetra To match the increasing water demand Requires adoption of better management practices. Research and investigations for sustainable utilization of more and more available water Pressure on availability and utilization of natural water resources for various anthropogenic needs Anthropogenic needs includes • Drinking Water • water in beverages, • water in food. • For Irrigation • Water for ensuring food security (Fish production) • For Bathing/Swimming/Mass Bathing • Water bodies for religious/ ritual activities 21 Districts 106 Towns 6955 Villages Mewat Rivers Flowing Through Haryana The River Yamuna Flows along its eastern boundary The Rivers Saraswati is said to have flowed from Yamunanagar but it has now disappeared The River Ghaggar is Haryana's main seasonal river. It rises in the outer Himalyas between the Yamuna and the Sutlej and enters Haryana near Pinjore, in Panchkula. Passing through Ambala and near Sirsa it reaches Rajasthan. The Markanda river is also a seasonal stream. Its ancient name was Aruna. It originates from the lower Shivalik hills and enters Haryana west of Ambala. The Sahibi river originates in the Mewat Hills , On reaching Jhajhar it branches off into two smaller streams, finally reaching the outskirts of Delhi and flowing into Najafgarh lake that flows into the Yamuna through the Najafgarh drain There are three other rivulets in and around the Mewat hills – Indori, Dohan and Kasavati and they all flow northwards from the south Major Lakes/ Wetlands Badkhal Damdama Hathni Kund SurajKund (Faridabad) (Sohna, (Faridabad) Gurgaon) (Yamunanagar) Sultanpur Tilyar Brahmsrovar (Gurgaon) Karna (Kurukshetra) (Rohtak) (Karnal) Sannihit Sarovar Bhindwas (Kurukshetra) (Jhajjar) Artificial Ponds/Small • Used for Domestic Natural Ponds Purpose (Especially Village Ponds) • or Fish Culture Temporary Water • Which makes an Bodies of large or interesting Bio type Small type Man made or Natural • Which have religious Tanks/ Ponds /Temple importance ponds Water Resources in Haryana Type Area Perennial Village ponds 14000 hectare Seasonal Village Ponds 2500 hectare Reservoirs/Lakes 900 hectare Water Harvesting Dams 1000 hectare Water Logged area 2000 hectare Saline soil 20000 hectare Rivers and Tributaries 50000 Km Canals 22000 m Drains 2000 Km Brackish Ground water is in more than 55% of area STRENGTHS WEAKNESSES • Availability of water • Flood system of Resources irrigation in canal command area • Scope for diversification of crops • Brackish ground water • Good tropical in 54 % area Agroclimatic conditions • Cultivation of Water • Suitable Conditions for guzzling crop of paddy the Application for resourse conserving • Seepage losses along technology wide network of canals in western part • Depletion of groundwater in fresh water zone It is time to Take action? •WORK FOR SUSTAINABILITY OF WATER BODIES Monitoring and Surveillance to assess reasons for degradation To disseminate/apply newer technology for conservation of water bodies Rural Fish Culture Ponds of Haryana (Managed and Unmanaged) Ponds of fish farms of progressive farmers with the application of technology Water Bodies of Haryana with religious activities 2 1 3 Hisar 4 Mewat UNMANAGED PONDS MANAGED PONDS •No Fertilizer •Use of Manure •No control on cattle entry or inorganic fertilizer •No control on sewage •Check on cattle entry inputs •No Regular netting •Regular netting to assess •No monitoring growth District Pond site Type Area Source of hectare water Kurukshetra Barwa Unmanaged 0.48 Canal Durala Unmanaged 3.2 Canal / Natural Adhon Managed 0.6 Tube well / canal Bohar sadan Managed 0.6 Tubewell / Canal Hisar Mugalpura Unmanaged 2.0 Natural Jajanwala Unmanaged 2.0 Canal /Natural Dabra Managed 0.6 Tubewell Satrod Managed 1.2 Tubewell Nuh Mewat Kira Unmanaged 2 .0 Canal / Natural Ghasara Tali Unmanaged 3.2 Canal / Natural Ghasara Managed 1.2 Canal / Tubewell Hirmuthala Managed 1.6 Canal / Tubewell Y.

  • District Survey Report for Sustainable Sand Mining Distt. Yamuna Nagar
    DISTRICT SURVEY REPORT FOR SUSTAINABLE SAND MINING DISTT. YAMUNA NAGAR The Boulder, Gravel and Sand are one of the most important construction materials. These minerals are found deposited in river bed as well as adjoining areas. These aggregates of raw materials are used in the highest volume on earth after water. Therefore, it is the need of hour that mining of these aggregates should be carried out in a scientific and environment friendly manner. In an endeavour to achieve the same, District Survey Report, apropos “the Sustainable Sand Mining Guidelines” is being prepared to identify the areas of aggradations or deposition where mining can be allowed; and identification of areas of erosion and proximity to infrastructural structural and installations where mining should be prohibited and calculation of annual rate of replenishment and allowing time for replenishment after mining in that area. 1. Introduction:- Minor Mineral Deposits: 1.1 Yamunanagar district of Haryana is located in north-eastern part of Haryana State and lies between 29° 55' to 30° 31 North latitudes and 77° 00' to 77° 35' East longitudes. The total area is 1756 square kilometers, in which there are 655 villages, 10 towns, 4 tehsils and 2 sub-tehsils. Large part of the district of Yamunanagar is situated in the Shiwalik foothills. The area of Yamuna Nagar district is bounded by the state of Himachal Pradesh in the north, by the state of Uttar Pradesh in the east, in west by Ambala district and south by Karnal and Kurukshetra Districts. 1.2 The district has a sub-tropical continental monsoon climate where we find seasonal rhythm, hot summer, cool winter, unreliable rainfall and immense variation in temperature.
