The said river stretches 2 are not meeting the prescribed standards of the water quality in terms of Bio-chemical Oxygen Demand (BOD). Existence of polluted river stretches is evidence to show that the State Pollution Control Boards (SPCBs) have failed to perform their statutory obligation to take appropriate action to achieve the objects of the Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974.

It comprises of the forest tracts of Chhotanagpur plateau and Santhal Paragna. It is bounded by Bihar on the North, Orissa on the South, Chhattisgarh on the west and West Bengal on the East. Topography of the State is mostly undulating, hilly and sloping with mountains, forests, river basins and valleys. It has a rich endowment of forests and mineral resources. It has some of the richest deposits of coal and iron ore in the world. It is the largest producer of coal, copper, kyanite and mica in the country. It is blessed with rich fauna and flora. The State is home to nearly a tenth of the country’s Scheduled Tribes1, who constitute 28% of Jharkhand’s population. Another 12% of the population is from Scheduled Castes. Jharkhand is mostly rural, with 77.77% of the State’s population in villages. The State has 24 districts, 38 sub-divisions, 260 blocks, 4118 panchayats and 32620 villages. For safeguarding and protecting the interest of the Scheduled Tribes and for ensuring equity and social justice in 1 The main tribes in Jharkhand are Asur, Birhor, Birjia, Chik Baraik, Korba, Lohara, Mahali, Mal Paharia, Kumarbhag Paharia, Souriya Paharia, Savar, Santal, Oraon, Munda, Ho and Kharia. pg. 6 the planned process of development, the State is following Tribal Sub-Plan (TSP) approach in 12 districts fully and 2 districts partly, covering 112 blocks. With an area of 79714 km2 which accounts for 2.42% of the country’s area, Jharkhand supports a population of 32.97 million (2011) which constitutes 2.72% of the country’s population. South Bihar, as it was called in the earlier dispensation, is a hill state comprising ethnic groups (tribals), Hos, Mundas, Santhals and others ; The state needs intensive development initiatives. Jharkhand, literally meaning a forested region, is landlocked and is an integral part of the north-eastern portion of the Peninsular Plateaus of India. As part of ancient Gondwanaland, Jharkhand has rock formations ranging from the earliest Archean Era to the latest Post- tertiary period. It is a region of diverse physical features consisting of a succession of plateaus, hills and valleys, drained by several large rivers such as Damodar, Barakar, Subarnarekha, Koel, Brahmani, Baitarani and Mahanadi. The northern part of Jharkhand adjoining Bihar broadly comes under the Gangetic river basin. The State has a sub-humid climate with average annual rainfall of 1,350 mm. However, due to high variability of monsoon rains, low moisture holding capacity of soils, absence of developed aquifers due to the hard rock substrate and high run-off due to the undulating terrain, agriculture is fraught with high risks2. Paddy, the principal crop of the State sown over 1.3 mha in 2001-023 had an average yield of only 1.11 ton/ha4. Maize, minor millets and pulses are the other principal crops and together occupy about 25% of the net sown area, with similar low yields. Oilseeds production is negligible. Horticulture and floriculture is undeveloped in spite of a suitable climate. Jharkhand is a mineral rich state, contributing 40% of the nation’s mineral wealth. Yet, it had little impact on local livelihoods outside the industrial enclaves. Even in the most industrialized districts, such as East Singhbhum, Bokaro, Ranchi and Dhanbad, the 2 As per the categorization by Indian Meteorological Department, Jharkhand figures in the "drought corridor” of the country, which also includes Rajasthan, Gujarat, Andhra Pradesh (drought prone districts of Rayalaseema and Telengana regions), West Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh (including Chhatisgarh), Bihar and parts of West Bengal adjoining Jharkhand. 3Planning Commission, ibid. 4 The average yield for India during the year was 1.9 ton/ha, with Tamil Nadu, having the highest average yield at 3.2 ton/ha. Yields vary a great deal within Jharkhand due to the undulating topography and varying levels of development of agriculture.

  • Study of Water Quality of Swarnrekha River, Ranchi, Jharkhand, India
    AEGAEUM JOURNAL ISSN NO: 0776-3808 Study of water quality of Swarnrekha River, Ranchi, Jharkhand, India Suresh Kumar 1, Sujata kumari 2 1. Dr. Shyama Prasad Mukherjee University, Ranchi, Jharkhand, India 2. Ranchi University, Ranchi, Jharkhand, India Corresponding Author: [email protected] Abstract The name of river “Swarnrekha” is given after in the ancient period due to the occurrence of “gold streaks” in the river water or river sediments. The river originated from a “seepage cum underground well”, locally called “Ranichuan” at the Nagari village of the Ranchi district. It is the first river which originates from seepage well locally called “Chuan” basically a great seepage well having a catchment area. According to Hindu Mythology, it is said that this Ranichuan was carved by the lord Rama by his arrow while Sita, his wife, was feeling thirsty during the period of Ramayana. In this way, we say that the river is basically originated from the seepage water or ground water. It travels towards the south east of Ranchi to East Singhbhum to Sarikhela and finally confluence with Damodar River at cretina mouth of the river. Previously, it was very pure form of drinkable water and day by day its quality deteriorated due to the anthropogenic activities and ultimately whole stretches of the river turned into garbage field and most polluted water streams. So, now we can say the river turned from gold streak to garbage streak and not suitable for the human beings without treatment. Physical, Chemical and microbial properties of the river water from point of origin to the lower chutia is deterioted such as water is very clean at the site of origin and became gradually hazy and dirt as it crosses through the habitants or settlements.

Corresponding Author: Abhijeet Das Received 08 November 2019; Accepted 25 November 2019 ABSTRACT: The present investigation is aimed at assessing the current water quality standard along the stretch of Brahmani River in terms of physico-chemical parameters. In the selected study area the River Brahmani is receiving a considerable amount of industrial wastes and witnessing a considerable amount of human and agricultural activities. Twelve samples were collected along the entire stretches of the river basin during the period from January-2000 to December-2015 on the first working day of every month. In the selected research area, the Brahmani River is receiving the domestic, industrial, and municipal waste waters/effluents all along its course. Various physico-chemical parameters like pH, Nitrate (NO₃), Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), Boron, Alkalinity, Calcium, Magnesium, Turbidity, Chloride Clˉ) , Sulphate (SO₄²ˉ), Fluoride(Fˉ) and Iron(Fe) etc. were analysed. The present study indicates that the water quality of Brahmani River is well within tolerance limit taking the physico-chemical parameters into considerations. Keywords: Brahmani River, Physico-chemical parameters, pH, TDS, Alkalinity, Tolerance limit. I. INTRODUCTION Water, a prime natural resource, is a basic need for sustenance of human civilization. Sustainable management of water resources is an essential requirement for the growth of the state’s economy and well being of the population.
