  • Fly Ash of Thermal Power Plants
    International Journal of Geology, Earth & Environmental Sciences ISSN: 2277-2081 (Online) An Open Access, Online International Journal Available at http://www.cibtech.org/jgee.htm 2015 Vol. 5 (2) May-August, pp. 74-91/Ghosh et al. Review Article FLY ASH OF THERMAL POWER PLANTS: REVIEW OF THE PROBLEMS AND MANAGEMENT OPTIONS WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO THE BAKRESHWAR THERMAL POWER PLANT, EASTERN INDIA Krishna Gopal Ghosh, Kaustuv Mukherjee and *Sunil Saha Department of Geography, Visva-Bharati, Santiniketan, West Bengal, India *Author for Correspondence ABSTRACT There is an enormous stress on the coal-based thermal power plants (TPPs) to meet the energy requirements of our country. Currently 82 coal-fired TPPs exist in India and disposal of the increasing amounts of coal ash is becoming a serious concern to the environmentalists as the re-use/utilization rate is too low and inadequate or unscientific management results multi-furious geo-environmental degradation. Fly ash disposal and management of Bakreshwar Thermal Power Plant (BkTPP), the 3rd largest TPP in West Bengal has become a major issue of concern. This is because; the fly ash dumping ponds at Panuria and Raipur village has got filled-up about a year ago. The slurry from these ponds directly flow into the surrounding land and to the river Chandrabhaga and Bakreshwar leading to air, water and soil pollution. Overflow and blow-off the ash towards residential areas is causing unnecessary human exposure and has serious health risks. The villagers are even more affected as the ash is deposited in the fields and farmers use ash-laden water to irrigate.

  • Chalcolithic Period
    CHAPTER VI CHALCOLITHIC PERIOD ^ ' I MIDDLE GANGA VALLEY In the Middle Ganga Valley a total of 134 Chalcolithic sites have been discovered (Table 82, Fig. 31). Of these, 110 (82.09%) are located in Uttar Pradesh (U.P.) and 24 (17.91%) in Bihar. In U.P. one site each is located in Allahabad, Deoria, Jaunpur, and Sultanpur, eight in Ballia, 13 in Basti, 18 in Ghazipur, 27 in Gorakhpur, 16 in Pratapgarh and 24 in Varanasi districts. The location of sites in Bihar is as follows : one each in Bhojpur and Vaisali, two each in Patna and Saran, four in Bhagalpur, five in Gaya and nine in Rohtas districts. Of these, 89 (66.42%) sites are located in the Ganga plain north and 45 (33.58%) in the Ganga plain south. In the Ganga plain north 45 sites are located in the Ganga-Ghaghra Doab, 43 in the Saryupar Plain and one in the Mithila Plain. In the Ganga plain south 34 sites are located in the Ganga-Son Divide and remaining 11 in the Anga-Magadh Plain. All sites are located on river banks but precise location is known only for 31— one each on the Gomati, Rapti, Chandraprabha, Karmnasa, Son and Jamunai, two each on the Durgawati and Manorama, four each on the Ganga, Ghaghra, Kudra and Phalgu and five on the Kuwano. Distribution of sites in the region suggests that the nature of Chalcolithic sett 1ement-pattern depended largely upon topographic situation. Sites are found below 90 m contour line and are located on higher Bhangar land which is above the flood level.
