During the discussions, the Ch.ef Secretary opined that the polluted riverine stretches (i.e pollution-index) are primarily due to discharge / release or untreated or partially-treated domestic waste-water. However, he stressed on the fact that to arrive at such a logical conclusion, it is important to ascertain and rule out the possibility of any fallouts likely to he arising due to indiscriminate/uncontrolled industrial discharge, due 10 non operational or faulty maintenance of ETP/STP, from industrial units located operational within the immediate periphery of identified riverine stretches. .Accordingly. he suggested to compile • baseline information with respect to number / category or industry as wel! as operational status of wastewater disposal / treatment and verify its compliance to the CPC8-prcscribed ,.vater-quality standards with specific reference to Biological Oxygen Demand (HOD) and COD stipulated while granting consent to such industries by the GSPCJ3.

  • A GRASS-GIS-Based Methodology for Flash Flood Risk Assessment in Goa
    A GRASS-GIS-Based Methodology for Flash Flood Risk Assessment in Goa K. Suprit, Aravind Kalla and V. Vijith National Institute of Oceanography (CSIR), Dona Paula, Goa 403004. 6 October 2010 Executive Summary Recurring floods in Goa cause damage to both property and life. After the 2 October 2009 flash floods in Canacona Taluka, South Goa, the Government of Goa constituted a committee (Canacona Flash Floods Study Committee) to study the flood event and suggest mea- sures to minimize damages occurring from similar episodes in future. The committee recommended the developing of a methodology for flood risk assessment and warning during an intense-rainfall event which can be implemented elsewhere in Goa with the help of grad- uate students. This requires the analysis of topography for river flow (watershed analysis) and converting rainfall to river flow (discharge calculation). The watershed analysis is based on a free and open source GIS called GRASS GIS. It calculates the watershed properties (watershed areas, stream network, slope, etc.). It also identifies and delineates areas nearest to the stream channel, the ones most likely to be affected by flash floods (flood-prone areas). Based on the discharge calculations, a simple method to give warn- ing of the possible occurrence of flash flood due to intense-rainfall events is also developed. A simple but widely used hydrological model, called rational method, is used to calculate the peak discharge in the selected stream. Based on this method, a flood watch algorithm is derived, which uses rainfall intensity data from the nearest Automatic Weather Station (AWS). The method developed uses free and open software tools and re- quires a bare minimum of input data, namely, topographic data (Digi- tal Elevation Model, DEM) and rainfall data, both of which are avail- able free of cost in the public domain.
