  • Drinking Water Quality Analysis of Surrounding Rivers in Bhubaneswar, Odisha
    International Journal of Advance Research In Science And Engineering http://www.ijarse.com IJARSE, Vol. No.3, Issue No.5, May 2014 ISSN-2319-8354(E) DRINKING WATER QUALITY ANALYSIS OF SURROUNDING RIVERS IN BHUBANESWAR, ODISHA K. Mohapatra1, S. K. Biswal2, G.Nayak3 1Asst. Professor, Department of Chemistry,GITA, Bhubaneswar(India) 2Professor, Department of Chemistry, IGIT, Sarang(India) 3Lecturer in Chemistry, EATM, Bhubaneswar (India) ABSTRACT With rapid growth of population, Industrial activities and deforestation, the water quality of surrounding rivers in Bhubaneswar, the capital of Odisha is gradually deteriorating. This city has become a environmental sensitive zone in the state of Odisha in India. Drinking water is supplied from surrounding rivers of Bhubaneswar like Kuakhai, Daya and Mahanadi. This supplied water from surrounding rivers becomes polluted when toxic substances, oxidized organics, inorganic, suspended solids, human, animal and plant pathogens enter into the water bodies. The treatment of surface water and waste water is necessary in order to maintain its quality standards for drinking water purposes. The objective of water treatment is to produce an adequate and continuous supply of water that is chemically, bacteriological free and aesthetically pleasing. Water samples from six different locations were collected in every month of pre mansoon, mansoon and post mansoon periods. Standard procedures were adopted to analyze and to calculate the different physic-chemical parameters of surface water samples using ISI standard procedure. Keywords: Surface Water Pollution; Physico-Chemical Parameter; Seasonal Variation; Mahanadi, Daya and Kuakhai Rivers. I INTRODUCTION Water plays a great role for the existence of human beings and all living organisms.

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract: Quantitative and qualitative variations in microscopic plant organic matter assemblages and its preservation state in deltaic channel deposits of Mahanadi River was correlated with the depositional environment in the ecosystem in order to prepare a modern analogue for use in palaeoenvironment studies. For this, palynological and palynofacies study was carried out in 57 surface sediment samples from Birupa river System, Kathjodi-Debi River system and Kuakhai River System constituting Upper, Middle and Lower Deltaic part of Mahanadi river. The apex of the delta shows dominance of Spirogyra algae indicating high nutrient, low energy shallow ecosystem during most of the year and recharged only during monsoons. The depositional environment is anoxic to dysoxic in the central and south-eastern part of the Middle Deltaic Plain (MDP) and Lower Deltaic Plain (LDP) indicated by high percentage of nearby palynomorphs, Particulate Organic Matter (POM) and algal or fungal spores. The northern part of the delta show high POM preservation only in the estuarine area in LDP but high Amorphous Organic Matter (MOA) in MDP.

    INDIA RIVER WEEK 2020 Is Sand Mining Killing Our Rivers? Extracting River Bed Materials Draft East Zone Report Ver. 01 Compiled by: Nachiket Kelkar, Ipsita Roy, Siddharth Agarwal, Ravi Chopra With generous support from South Asia Network on Dams, Rivers & People November 2020 Draft Not For Quotation Extracting River Bed Materials in the East Zone After water, sand is the most consumed natural resource in the world, with uses ranging from road and building construction to toothpastes.1 It is ironic therefore that the Government of India (GoI) has classified sand as a ‘minor mineral’. That unfortunate label – perhaps because at one time the supply was assumed to be unlimited – has led to a colossal under valuation of this important resource and poor governance. The poor governance is first reflected in the lack of official data – reliable or unreliable – of how much sand is extracted or used in each state of India. But the unofficial estimates are astounding. A recent WWF report estimated that in 2010 India consumed about 1.5 billion tons (BT) of sand, up from about 0.8 BT at the end of the 20th century (Koehnken & Rintoul, 2018). Assuming the same growth rate, in 2020 India may be consuming about 2.5 BT. How Much is 2.5 BT of Sand? That, 2.5 BT/per annum is a staggering amount. The Ganga-Brahmaputra river system deposits only ~ 0.73 BT of sediments every year in the Bay of Bengal (Singh M. et al, 2007). A back- of-a-bus ticket calculation shows that ~ 200 to 300 million trucks are probably required every year to transport this load.
