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. 5 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. Source: Fertilizer statistics 2002-03 New Delhi (Published in Jharkhand Agriculture data book 2006) pg. 6 proportion of main workers engaged in mining and industry is less than 3%. Agriculture remains the principal source of livelihoods for an overwhelming majority of the population. About 48% of the State’s geographical area is cultivable. However, the net sown area is only about 23% (all India 47%) of the geographical area and more than half of the cultivable land remains fallow. Subsidiary farm-based activities like dairy, poultry, etc.

Eight parameters namely pH,Dissolved Oxygen, Biochemical Oxygen Demand ,Nitrate,Phosphate,Total Dissolved Solids and Faecal Colliform were considered to compute Water Quality Index (WQI) based on National Sanitation Foundation studies.Our findings highlighted the deterioration of water quality in the rivers due to industrialization and human activities. Key Words: NSF Water Quality Index, TDS, EC, DO, BOD, Total Hardness,Faecal Colliform I. Introduction The study is carried out in Subarnarekha river which flows through the East Singhbhum district,which is one of the India’s important industrialized areas known for ore mining, steel production, power generation, cement production and other related activities.The Subarnarekha river is the eighth river in India by its flow(12.37 billion m3/year) and length.

  • Kanhar Barrage Project, Jharkhand
    Kanhar Barrage Project, Jharkhand: Kanhar barrage project envisages construction of a barrage on river Kanhar near village Khuri under Ranka Block of Garhwa district in Jharkhand, around 12 km downstream of proposed dam site at Baradih. River Kanhar is one of the major right bank tributary of river Sone. The total catchment area up to its confluence with river Sone is 5903 km2, and total length is 218 km. It originates from the northern slopes of Vindhya Ranges at Gidha‐Dhoda on the Khudia plateau in Jashpur district of Chhattisgarh at an altitude of EL. 990m. It initially flows north forming the boundary with Garhwa district in Palamu division of Jharkhand and Surguja district of Chhattisgarh. Subsequently, it runs parallel to river Sone in Garhwa and turns north‐west and flowing through Sonbhadra district of Uttar Pradesh. It confluences with river Sone near village Kota in Dudhi Tehsil. The catchment area upto proposed barrage at village Khuri is 3375 sq‐km. The project envisages irrigating the area of Garhwa district and some villages of Palamu district in chainpur block only. It is to be noted that Garhwa is a draught prone zone and deprived of assured irrigation in the area. The existing reservoirs in the district are mostly water deficit being fed by limited catchment. The Kanhar Barrage Project, Jharkhand was considered by the Advisory Committee of MoWR, RD&GR on Irrigation, Multipurpose and Flood Control Projects in its 135th Meeting held at New Delhi on 12th March, 2018. The project was accepted by the Advisory Committee of MoWR,RD&GR for an estimated cost of Rs.
