  • Assessment of Water Quality of Budhi Gandak River at Muzaffarpur, Bihar, India S
    Int. J. Chem. Sci.: 7(4), 2009, 2429-2433 ASSESSMENT OF WATER QUALITY OF BUDHI GANDAK RIVER AT MUZAFFARPUR, BIHAR, INDIA S. MUMTAZUDDIN *, ABUL KALAM AZAD and MANOJ KUMAR University Deptt. of Chemistry, B. R. A. Bihar University, MUZAFFARPUR – 842001 (Bihar) INDIA ABSTRACT This paper represents the results of chemical characteristics during one year across five sampling stations located on the bank of Budhi Gandak river at Muzaffarpur. The water quality parameters like pH, TDS, DO, BOD, COD, hardness, chloride, calcium and magnesium were studied by various analytical techniques. It was observed that most of the water quality parameters are in the acceptable limits in accordance with WHO standards. Key words : Water quality, Budhi Gandak river, Muzaffarpur. INTRODUCTION The river Budhi Gandak, also known as Burhi Gandak, is an important perennial river of north Bihar. It is believed that the river “Vishala” or “Vihalya”, which finds a description in the Mahabharatta, is present day Budhi Gandak. The Chaur of small village Vishambar in the east of Chautarwa near “Bagha” in the district of West Champaran is supposed to be its point of origin. However, its original source is Someshwar mountain range near West Champaran. The river Budhi Gandak, passing through the district of West Champaran, East Champaran, Muzaffarpur, Samastipur, Darbhanga, Begusarai, Munger and Khagaria, covers a distance of about 410 km and finally merges into the river Ganges near a village called Mansi in the east of Khagaria 1. The river Budhi Gandak is an important source of drinking and domestic water, irrigation and fish protein. But due to intense human interferences and rapid urbanization, this river has become contaminated with discharge of municipal wastes, domestic sewage and fertilizers from fields with receding flood water.

  • Combating Flood with Information Driven Actions, Bihar
    Best Practices Water Resources Sector Combating flood with information driven actions, Bihar Project details: • Scheme Name: Flood Management Information System (FMIS) • Target Area: Bihar • Total Project Cost: Bihar – Rs. 10.86 Cr. funded by World Bank • Scheme Scope: ▪ Development of technical and institutional capacity of the State for flood management ▪ Improved flood forecasting in terms of lead time and accuracy ▪ Prediction of expected inundation ▪ Development of updated flood control manuals ▪ Upgrading hydrologic measurements ▪ Use of Online Analytical Processing (OLAP) and data mining tools for planning of schemes using forecasted data • Implementing Agency: Flood Management Information System Cell (FMISC), Government of Bihar • Area covered: Phase – I : Flood prone area in North Bihar, from Burhi Gandak river in the west to Kosi river in the east, including the districts of East Champaran, Muzaffarpur, Begusarai, Samastipur, Dharbanga, Sitamarhi, Sheohar, Madhubani, Supaul, Saharsa, and Khagaria covering about 26,000 sq. km. in area; Phase – II: Entire North Bihar together with Patna, Bhagalpur and Munger district have been targeted to be developed. Intervention: Flood Management Information System, Bihar finds its genesis in the brainstorming meeting on Jan 18, 2006 in which the Government of Bihar (GoB) and the World Bank agreed on a water sector partnership matrix and action plan in three time horizons. In the short term, it was proposed to improve the technical and institutional capacity of the State of Bihar for flood

  • Integrated Assessment of Extreme Events and Hydrological Responses of Indo‑Nepal Gandak River Basin
    Environment, Development and Sustainability https://doi.org/10.1007/s10668-020-00986-6 Integrated assessment of extreme events and hydrological responses of Indo‑Nepal Gandak River Basin Pawan K. Chaubey1 · Prashant K. Srivastava1 · Akhilesh Gupta2 · R. K. Mall1 Received: 15 November 2019 / Accepted: 15 September 2020 © Springer Nature B.V. 2020 Abstract Changes in climate cause signifcant alterations in morphometric parameters and may lead to hydro-meteorological hazards. In this study, an attempt has been made to identify drain- age morphometric characteristics through topographic, geologic and hydrological infor- mation to assess the extreme weather events (food) over the Gandak River Basin (GRB). The standardized precipitation index (SPI) and rainfall anomaly index (RAI) were used for deducing extreme rainfall incidences derived from the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mis- sion precipitation datasets. An assembled frequency distribution as well as trends in RAI and SPI was calculated to understand the hydro-climatological behaviour of the basin. Dur- ing the monsoon season, the years 1998, 2007, 2011, 2013 and 2017 witnessed the extreme food events. The variations in heavy and intense rainfall in short time can be linked to extreme food events, which leads to channel shifting and modifcations, can be deduced from provided asymmetric factors and sinuosity index. The results illustrated that both the monsoonal rainfall and the frequency of extreme rainfall over the basin are increasing, which could be a reason for a high severity and frequency of food events in the GRB. Keywords Flood · Standardized precipitation index (SPI) · Rainfall anomaly index (RAI) · Morphometric · Gandak basin (Indo-Nepal region) 1 Introduction The Indo-Gangetic Basin (IGB) comprises several river streams and act as an important source for freshwater resources in the Indian region.
