  • Assessment of Water Quality Status of Son River Near Sidhi District (Madhya Pradesh) Using Water Quality Index
    © 2021 IJRTI | Volume 6, Issue 8 | ISSN: 2456-3315 Assessment of Water Quality Status of Son River near Sidhi district (Madhya Pradesh) using Water Quality Index 1Deepak Mishra, 2Dr. Shailza Verma 1Student, 2Assistant Professor Department of Environmental Engineering Jabalpur Engineering College Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh (482001), India Abstract: The Son River of Sidhi district, Madhya Pradesh (MP), Central India, plays a vital role in cultivating a monetary and ordinary relationship with the people. Since it gives satisfactory rich fields and advancement inclines water framework practices and fulfills individuals' step-by-step needs. It is essential for the people of Sidhi and Madhya Pradesh because of the rich regular asset. The water quality index (WQI) tool is used to determine the quality of river Son by selecting four sampling stations. Maximum WQI value gained during the post-monsoon season in all of the stations followed by monsoon and pre-monsoon. Sampling stations upstream of the river experience deteriorating WQI due to the presence of the hydroelectric dam, changing landuse practices, increasing settlements and deforestation in the catchment and river banks. WQI showed good water quality, which can be used for drinking, irrigation and other purposes. The assessment found that pH, DO, and BOD contributes a huge part in affecting the WQI of the stream. Our study found that the condition of water quality necessities to accept suitable organization procedures and assurance attempts. It is inferred that WQI was demonstrated as an instrument or device in differentiating the water quality of different sources. It gives the public a general considered potential water-related issues in a particular area.

  • Environment Impact Assessment and Socio Economic Studies
    CHAPTER - IX ENVIRONMENT IMPACT ASSESSMENT AND SOCIO ECONOMIC STUDIES 9.0 Objectives of the study The objective of environmental impact assessment and socio- economic studies is to identify the possible environmental and socio- economic effects due to the proposed Kosi-Mechi intrastate link project of Bihar and to suggest measures to mitigate or ameliorate the anticipated adverse impacts on the environment. The study was assigned to M/s Economic Development Trust (EDT), New Delhi. A brief account of the study is presented in this chapter. 9.1 The project proposal The Kosi-Mechi intrastate link project envisages diversion of 7,825 MCM of Kosi water from existing Hanuman Nagar Barrage on Indo-Nepal border to Mechi river (a tributary of Mahananda) about 1.5 km upstream of its confluence with Mahananda river in Makhanpur village of Kishanganj district of Bihar state. The proposed link canal offtakes from the left side (eastern side) of the barrage near Hanuman Nagar at FSL 74.371 m and outfalls into Mechi river at FSL 54.239 m. The total length of the link canal is 117.50 km. This link canal will cross number of streams/rivers, road and railway lines for which 9 canal syphons, 14 syphon aqueducts, 42 road bridges and 9 hume pipe culverts have been proposed. 28 head regulators, 10 cross regulators and 3 escapes have also been provided for the link canal regulation. 9.2 Project justification Bihar is India's most flood‐prone state, with about 76% of the population in north Bihar living under the recurring threat of flood devastation.

  • Kishanganj Introduction
    DISTRICT PROFILE KISHANGANJ INTRODUCTION Kishanganj district is one of the thirty-eight districts of Bihar. Kishanganj district is a part of Purnea division. Kishanganj is situated in the northeastern part of Bihar and is is part of the chicken neck on the map of India. Kishanganj has an international border with Nepal and a narrow strip of 20 km land of West Bengal separates Kishanganj district from Bangladesh. Kishanganj district is surrounded by the districts of Araria and Purnea of Bihar, districts of Uttar Dinajpur and Darjeeling of West Bengal and Nepal in the north. The important rivers flowing from the district are Mahananda, Kankai, Mechi, Doictnk, Ratua, Ramzan and Sudhani. HISTORICAL BACKGROUND Kishanganj is the distortion of the name Krishna-Kunj. During the Mughal period, Kishanganj district was the part of Nepal and was known as Nepalgarh. Nepalgarh was captured during the reign of Mughal Emperor Shah Alam and renamed as Alamganj in his honour. Khagara was made the administrative headquarters and the historical "Khagra Mela" is held here every year. During the Mughal rule under Nawab Mohammed Fakiruddin, a wandering Hindu saint refused to enter Amanganj despite being very tired because the names of the place, river and Nawab were Alamganj, Ramzan and Fakiruddin respectively. When the Nawab heard this grievance of the itinerant saint, he announced that some portion of land would be renamed as Krishna-Kunj. With passage of time, the name Krishna-Kunj got distorted to Kishanganj. Kishanganj was earlier an important sub-division of the erstwhile Purnea district and became an independent district on 14th January 1990.
