  • River Yamuna: Deteriorating Water Quality & Its Socio-Economic Impact
    River Yamuna: Deteriorating Water Quality & its Socio-economic Impact JULY 2020 Tata Centre for Development The Tata Centre for Development (TCD) at the University of Chicago works to identify novel solutions to India’s most pressing development challenges and to ensure that these ideas are translated into outcomes that improve people’s lives. Launched in 2016 with generous support from the Tata Trusts, TCD follows a unique approach that harnesses evidence-based insights from UChicago’s rigorous economics research. An affi liated Centre of the Becker Friedman Institute for Economics at UChicago, TCD upholds the university’s tradition of applying economic thinking to a wide range of social challenges and advancing important research on India through a convergence of scholars from across disciplines. To translate research insights into policy action, TCD engages with policymakers at all levels of government and policy entrepreneurs across sectors and launches pilot projects to demonstrate success. Representing the joint work of the Tata Trusts and the University of Chicago, TCD asks diffi cult questions, challenges conventional thinking, and creates a new model for impact in India. Water-to-Cloud (W2C) Water-to-Cloud is an initiative housed under Tata Centre for Development to map water quality over large water bodies using in-situ cyber-physical systems. It aims to create a repository of reliable water quality data from rivers across India with the belief that putting out such comprehensive and actionable data in the public domain can lead to positive action to improve the health of our water bodies. So far over 300,000 water quality data points have been collected across 11 sites on the 4 major Indian rivers and some lakes since 2016.

  • Water Quality of River Yamuna During the Lockdown Background
    OFFICE OF THE YAMUNA POLLUTION MONITORING COMMITTEE APPOINTED BY HON’BLE NGT ROOM NO. 58, INDIA INTERNATIONAL CENTRE 40, MAX MUELLER MARG, LODHI ESTATE NEW DELHI – 110003 Dated: 21.04.2020 Subject: Water Quality of River Yamuna during the Lockdown Background: Yamuna Pollution Monitoring Committee (YMC) observed a number of reports and pictures of river Yamuna appearing in the media, including social media, which showed improvement in water quality in the river after the lock down imposed by the Government. YMC members also started receiving telephonic calls from different media agencies seeking confirmation about the improvement in water quality and the reasons therefor. In order to settle the matter, the YMC asked both CPCB and DPCC, through Whatsapp messages sent to the Member Secretaries on 4th and 5th April, to undertake testing of water quality in the river as well as the main drains joining the river and submit a report within one week giving detailed analysis of the results and the causative factors for improvement, if any noticed, in water quality. Test and Analysis Reports: 1. DPCC Report of 15.4.20: The Report of DPCC received on 15.4.20 is based on samples collected at 9 stations along the river and at 20 stations on the drains. The analysis suggests that there is deterioration in water quality at 4 stations, namely, Palla, Surghat, Khajuri Paltoon Pool(downstream of Najafgarh drain point) and Kudesia Ghat whereas there is improvement ranging from 20-33% in BOD at 5 stations, namely, ITO, Nizamuddin, Agra canal Jaitpur, Okhla barrage(Upstream) and Ohkla barrage(downstream after meeting of Shahdara drain).

    CENTRAL POLLUTION CONTROL BOARD (Ministry of Environment, Forests and Climate Change) ‘PariveshBhawan’, East Arjun Nagar, Delhi – 110032 REPORT ON ASSESSMENT OF IMPACT OF LOCK DOWN ON WATER QUALITY OF RIVER YAMUNA – DELHI STRETCH 1. BACKGROUND Various photographs and videos were circulated among different social media platforms claiming improved water quality of river Yamuna due to lock down of NCT of Delhi in amid crisis of COVID-19. A visit was made to verify the status of water quality of river Yamuna on 06/04/2020between 9 AM to 1 PM by the CPCB Team comprising following officials: - (1). Dr. Yashpal Yadav, Scientist ‘B’, Bio-Lab, CPCB, Delhi, and (2). Shri Anand B Salve, JSA, Bio-Lab, CPCB, Delhi. Sampling of river Yamuna at 3 locations viz., Palla ( Entry point of river Yamuna in Delhi), Nizamuddin bridge ( between Wazirabad barrage and Okhla barrage – 14 drains contributing discharges), Okhla barrage Upstream (after discharge of 16 drains) and two major drains ( which are contributors of both hydraulic & pollution load in river Yamuna)namelyNajafgarh drain and Shahdaradrain following the standard protocols for collection, transportation and further analysis were carried out in CPCBCentral Laboratory.Approximately, river Yamuna stretch between collected water sampling locations i.e., between Palla and WazirabadBarrage is about 22KM, between Wazirabad Barrage to Nizamuddin Road Bridge is about 13.5 KM, Nizammuddin Bridge to Okhla Barrage is about 7.5 KM. At the time of sampling, no human activity such as bathing, washing of clothes at Dhobi Ghats, religious activities, throwing of flowers, garlands and other worship materials, was observed by the monitoring team in the vicinity of the sampling locations.

  • Assessment of Physico-Chemical Properties of Contaminated Soil Samples from Yamuna Riverbed K
    DU Journal of Undergraduate Research and Innovation Volume 1, Issue 3 pp 39-48, 2015 Assessment of Physico-Chemical Properties of Contaminated Soil Samples From Yamuna Riverbed K. Mandal1*, S. Vyas2, C. Chandra3, Ankur4, J. Yadav5 [email protected], 1,3 Assistant Professor, Dept of Chemistry, Dyal Singh College, University of Delhi., 2 Assistant Research Officer, Central Soils and, Materials Research Station,, NewDelhi., 4,5, Undergraduate Students, Dyal Singh College, University of Delhi. ABSTRACT With the increase of urbanization and industrializations the metro cities are going to be worst affected. The load of sewage and industrial pollutants not only pollute the riverbeds and landfills sites but also contaminate the large area surrounding them causing health as well as construction hazards. Effluents from most of the major industries and domestic sewage directly enters in to Yamuna river, constantly altering the physical and chemical nature of surrounding water and soil. The entire stretch of river Yamuna in Delhi segment is highly polluted due to heavy sewage load .The polluted run off which contain acidic and basic contaminants along with complex organic constitutes and heavy metals certainly alter the geotechnical properties of soil. The soil pollutant interactions results in to change in physico-chemical and engineering properties of the surrounding soil environment. The contaminated soil samples were collected from different locations along the Yamuna riverbed and analyzed for chemical and physical parameters. Results shown so far reflects the effect of pollutants on the chemical properties of the soil with particular reference to change in soil pH , total soluble salt contents (TSS), salinity, cation exchange capacity (CEC), water soluble chloride and water soluble sulphate and organic matter contents.
