The SectoralEnvironmental Assessment (SEA) study of the states' water sector is one of several preparationstudies undertakenin the project preparationphase of the RWRCP.Basin-wise Environmental Management Plans (EMPs)are preparedas part of the SEAstudy to assistin identifyingthe cumulativeimpacts at the sectorlevel. The SEAreport is preparedin threevolumes: summary report (Volume 1); main report(Volume 2); and, basin-wiseEMPs (Volume 3). 1.1 PURPOSEAND SCOPE 1.1.1 Purpose EMP is an instrument(or tool) that details a) the measuresto be taken during the implementationand operation of a proposedproject (or a seriesof projects)to eliminateor- offset adverseenvironmental impacts, or to reducethem to acceptableleveIs; and, b) the actionsneeded to implementthe mitigationmeasures. The EMPsare preparedfor the water sectorprojects. 1.1.2 Scope lhe EMPs consistof a set of mitigation,monitoring and institutionalmeasures to be taken during and post-projectimplementation. Environmental monitoring during the project implementationprovides informationabout key environmentalaspects of the project, particularly environmentalimpacts of the project and the effectivenessof mitigation measures.Institutional measures for capacitydevelopment and trainingwill addresstimely and effectiveimplementation of environmentalaspects of projectcomponents and mitigation measures. 1.2 BASIN-WISEEMPS 1.2.1 Groupingof Basins For purposesof developingbasin-wise EMPs, the Rajasthan'sstate's river basinshave been groupedinto nine EMP basins. This groupingconsidered the levei of on-goingand planned projects implementation,as well as the physiographicand hydrologícfeatures of the respectivebasins. The nine EMPBasins (Map Ai) are: Chambal;the Outside;Mahi; Banas; Group 5 (Shekhawatiand Sabi); Group6 (Ruparail,Banganga, Gambhir & Parbati);Luni; Sabarmati;and, Group9 (WestBanas, Sukli and OtherNallahs). The necessaryinstitutional strengtheningand policyreforms to be undertakenare addressedat the state leveI and are discussedin the mainSEA report (Volume 2). 1.2.2 Methodology The basin-wiseEMPs have been developedwith interdisciplinaryinput from professionais experiencedin the areasof environmentaland lrrigatior.Water Managementand Drainage Engineenng,Hydrogeology, EnvironmentalBiology, Plant Ecology,Sorial Development (Anthropology),Agronomy and Soils, and HRDand PublicConsultation. River basin'sagro- imgationsystem and watershedare continuouslyaffected by a wide rangeof naturalfactors SEA:Final Report- Volume3 Aprl 30, 2000 PageA. 1 such as climate, terrain, hydrogeology, domestic, municipal and industrial activities and effluent discharges. This means that the imgation system is a part of broader environmental, water, agnculture, industrial and watershed management issues. lt is an ongoing activity as part of the dynamic process of environmental management to evaluate, select and implement appropriate management options based on their ability to meet environmental standards, costs of implementation and maintenance, appropnate technology, and ease of implementation. The environmental and social issues for different basins are categonzed in accordance to their present extent and possible impact as a result of implementation of RWRCP and planned projects to the year 201S. The EMPs mainiy focused on the primary and secondary environmental issues impacted by the implementation and operation of proposed irrigation development projects. These include the RWRCP and other planned projects. 1.3 CONTENTS OF VOLUME 3 1.3.1 Basin-wise EMPs The EMPs are presented under sections B to L with a sub division into the following four chapters. Chapter 1 - Project Description: incdudesbasin features, water development projects - present and planned, proposed RWRCP and planned projects, including the non-imgation development projects. Chapter 2 - Environmental Baseline Overview: includes an evaluation of current environmental situation focused on typical environmental and social issues. Chapter 3 - Potential Environmental lmpacts of RWRCP Chapter 4 - Environmental mitigation measures to sustain the positive impacts and mitigate the negative impacts. The reader is advised to refer to individual chapters in Volume 2 of this report for sector- wide details in respect of the following: o Environmental Policy, Legal and Administrative Framework (National and Rajasthan Sector): Chapter 2 o Environmental Issues: Chapter 5 o Impact Assessment:Chapter 6 o Analysis of Altemative Water Development Scenanos: Chapter 7 Public Consultation: Chapter 8 WMitgationPlan: Chapter 9 Institutional StrengttaeningPlan: Chapter 10 Environmental Monitoring Program: Chapter 11 * FoIlow-up work: Chapter 12 1.3.2 Section M The basin-wise EMP preparation activities identified the díre need to concentrate on a holistic approach to integrated water resources management, cons.denng the surface and groundwater resources. Management of either one of the resources will impact on the sustainability of the other. A major issue that is common to ali basins is the identifrcation of the present status of groundwater exploitation and management. Within thís context, the reader is advised to refer to the main SEA report ( Volume 2. Annex 4.12). lI contains a SEA. Final Report - Volume 3 Apnl 30. 2000 PageA. 2 discussion on the gaps in methodology for long term estimates of groundwater potential or the safe yield of the groundwateraquifer systems in various river basins. The data base revieweddurng the sectoral EA and the EMP preparation activities essentially reflected the existing concemsand constraintsin evaluating environmental impacts related to groundwater development changes. The existing data do not adequately represent the current status of exploitation and management of the precious resource, considering the cumulative effects of the industrial, domesticand agricultural interventions in respective river basins and local and regional contaminationaspects of aquifer systems. Based on the above rationale, Section M is a complementary discussion to Annex 4.12 (SEA report Volume 2 )on groundwater management. it is intended to be a stand alone section that presentsa summary of the existing groundwaterconditions and the associated impacts for the projected developmentchanges to the year 2015. 1.4 STUDYTEAM The SEA study

  • Current Condition of the Yamuna River - an Overview of Flow, Pollution Load and Human Use
    Current condition of the Yamuna River - an overview of flow, pollution load and human use Deepshikha Sharma and Arun Kansal, TERI University Introduction Yamuna is the sub-basin of the Ganga river system. Out of the total catchment’s area of 861404 sq km of the Ganga basin, the Yamuna River and its catchment together contribute to a total of 345848 sq. km area which 40.14% of total Ganga River Basin (CPCB, 1980-81; CPCB, 1982-83). It is a large basin covering seven Indian states. The river water is used for both abstractive and in stream uses like irrigation, domestic water supply, industrial etc. It has been subjected to over exploitation, both in quantity and quality. Given that a large population is dependent on the river, it is of significance to preserve its water quality. The river is polluted by both point and non-point sources, where National Capital Territory (NCT) – Delhi is the major contributor, followed by Agra and Mathura. Approximately, 85% of the total pollution is from domestic source. The condition deteriorates further due to significant water abstraction which reduces the dilution capacity of the river. The stretch between Wazirabad barrage and Chambal river confluence is critically polluted and 22km of Delhi stretch is the maximum polluted amongst all. In order to restore the quality of river, the Government of India (GoI) initiated the Yamuna Action Plan (YAP) in the1993and later YAPII in the year 2004 (CPCB, 2006-07). Yamuna river basin River Yamuna (Figure 1) is the largest tributary of the River Ganga. The main stream of the river Yamuna originates from the Yamunotri glacier near Bandar Punch (38o 59' N 78o 27' E) in the Mussourie range of the lower Himalayas at an elevation of about 6320 meter above mean sea level in the district Uttarkashi (Uttranchal).

It plays a vital role to achieve the self-sufficiency in each sector of economy. Irrigation plays a crucial role in farming for those areas suffering from irregular pattern of rainfall. Rajasthan is the state of India which usually faces the drought condition as the monsoon gets fall. The farming in this state totally depends on the irrigation. This paper includes the district-wise distribution of cropping intensity and irrigation intensity including the comparison of 2013-2014 with the year 2006- 2007. Key words: Irrigation Intensity, Cropping Intensity, Net Area, Gross Area. RESUMEN La agricultura es una actividad primeria la cual está directa o indirectamente relacionada con otras actividades.

  • Are You Suprised ? F…
    1.0 INTRODUCTION The Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974 has been aimed to fulfill the water quality requirement of designated-best-uses of all the natural aquatic resources. Loss of bio-diversity on account of degradation of habitat has become the cause of major concern in recent years. Central Pollution Control Board, while executing the nation wide responsibility for water quality monitoring and management has established water quality monitoring network in the country. The Water Quality Monitoring Network constitutes 784 monitoring stations located on various water bodies all over the country. However, wetland areas have not been included as part of regular water quality monitoring network in the country. Keeping in view the importance of water quality of wetland areas, Central Pollution Control Board has initiated studies on Bio-monitoring of selected wetlands in wildlife habitats of the country. Bio monitoring of wetlands in wild life sanctuaries has been considered as most suitable measure to evaluate the health of wildlife ecosystem. Further, the monitoring of environmental variables will be immensely helpful in protecting and restoring the ecological status in these threatened habitats. 2.0 CPCB’S INITIATIVES FOR BIO-MONITORING OF WETLANDS Under the Indo-Dutch collaborative project, the development of bio- monitoring methodology for Indian river water quality evaluation was initiated during 1988. The Central Pollution Control Board carried out a pilot study on the River Yamuna for a selected stretch from Delhi upstream to Etawah downstream. The main objective of this study was to formulate strategic methods, which can be accepted in scientific and legislative framework for water quality evaluation.

  • E-Flow) in River Yamuna
    Environmental flow (E-Flow) in river Yamuna Context: The Hon’ble NGT in its judgment dated 13 January 2015 and through subsequent directions in OA No 6 of 2012 and 300 of 2013 given directions for the maintenance of requisite environmental flow in river Yamuna downstream of the barrage at Hathnikund in Haryana and at Okhla in Delhi so that there is enough fresh water flowing in the river till Agra for restoration of the river’s ecological functions. The Hon’ble Supreme Court had in W.P. ( C ) 537 of 1992 directed on 14 May 1999, that “a minimum flow of 10 cumecs (353 cusec) must be allowed to flow throughout the river Yamuna”. The report of the three member committee of MoWR, RD and GR on Assessment of Environmental Flows (E-Flows) has in March 2015 determined scientifically that E Flows as % of 90% dependable virgin flow at downstream Pashulok Barrage, Rishikesh on river Ganga should be 65.80%. It may be noted that the situation of river Yamuna at the Hathnikund barrage in Haryana is comparable to the situation at Rishikesh on river Ganga. In addition river Ganga at Rishikesh carries far more virgin flow in it as compared to leaner river Yamuna at Hathnikund. E – Flow in river Yamuna In view of the above it has been estimated that the E Flow in river Yamuna downstream of the barrage at Hathnikund should be no less than 2500 cusec (around 70% of the average minimum virgin flow of 3500 cusec reported at Hathnikund barrage during the leanest month of January).

  • Modeling the Efficacy of the Ganga Action Plan's Restoration of The
    Modeling the Efficacy of the Ganga Action Plan’s Restoration of the Ganga River, India By Shaw Lacy A thesis submitted In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the degree of Master of Science Natural Resources and Environment at The University of Michigan August 2006 Thesis Committee: Professor Michael Wiley Professor Jonathan Bulkley Abstract. To combat rising levels of water pollution in the Ganges River, the Indian gov- ernment initiated the Ganga Action Plan (GAP) in 1984. After twenty years, it is a com- mon perception that the GAP has failed to achieve the goals of a cleaner river. Using available government data on pollution levels and hydrology, I undertook an of the GAP efficacy for fifteen pollution parameters across 52 water quality sampling points moni- tored by India’s Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) within the Ganga Basin. Dis- solved oxygen, BOD, and COD showed a significant improvement of water quality after twenty years. In addition, fecal and total coliform levels, as well as concentrations of cal- cium, magnesium, and TDS all showed a significant decline. Building on this analysis, a GIS analysis was used to create a spatial model of the majority of the Ganga River net- work using a reach-based ecological classification approach. Using recent GAP monitor- ing data, a multiple linear regression model of expected pollutant loads within each reach (VSEC unit) was created. This model was then used to inventory water quality across the entire basin, based on CPCB criteria. My analysis showed 208 river km were class A, 1,142 river km were class B, 684 river km were class C, 1,614 river km were class D, and 10,403 river km were class E.
