  • 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.

  • District Wise Activities That Can Be Taken up for Rejuvenation of Rivers with Focus for Support for Migrant Workers Returning Home
    District wise activities that can be taken up for Rejuvenation of Rivers with focus for support for migrant workers returning home Various works and activities involved in rejuvenation of small river in Ganga basin which are tributaries of River Ganga can be taken up under MGNREGA for generation of employment for migrant workers returning home. Accordingly, a total of 68 districts located in Ganga basin have been identified and small rivers and tributaries of River Ganga/ its tributaries have been shortlisted. Rejuvenation of these small tributaries forms an important component of rejuvenating River Ganga. Various activities have also been identified which can be implemented during pre-monsoon periods in the catchment of these rivers which will also help in rejuvenating these rivers. The potential areas for works programs to provide employment opportunities to them can be through MGNREGA, CAMPA & other funds for small river rejuvenation and afforestation. The components of work for small river rejuvenation may include desilting, construction of clean dam & other structures for water harvesting & storage, afforestation in the catchment, protection work for water bodies. The list of these activities have also been identified and given in the enclosed statement. The list of activities are not exhaustive but is illustrative as applicable for concept. These activities are such that they may not involve highly skilled manpower for their implementation. Even unskilled or semi-skilled manpower can be utilized for their implementation. Out of 73 districts, 34 districts (S No 1 to 34) fall in Uttar Pradesh while 20 are in Bihar (S No 35 to 54). Similarly, 5 in Jharkhand (S No 55 to 59), 12 districts are located in Madhya Pradesh (S No 60 to 71), and 2 in Rajasthan (S No 72-73).

  • A Review on Consequences of Pollution of Some Indian Major Rivers and Their Remedial Measures
    International Journal of Research and Review www.ijrrjournal.com E-ISSN: 2349-9788; P-ISSN: 2454-2237 Review Article A Review on Consequences of Pollution of Some Indian Major Rivers and Their Remedial Measures A.K. Panigrahi1, Subasini Pattnaik2 1Ecotoxicology, Fisheries and Aquaculture Extension Laboratory, Department of Zoology, University of Kalyani, Kalyani, Nadia, 741235, West Bengal. 2Department of Zoology, Berhampur University, Berhampur, BhanjVihar, Odisha Corresponding Author: A.K. Panigrahi ABSTRACT In India Rivers are divided into two parts like, north Indian River and south Indian River. Some north Indian rivers are Indus, Ganga, Gomati, Damodar, Rihand, etc. Some south Indian rivers are Mahanadi, Godavari, Krishna, Cauvery, etc. In India, river plays an important role. Many people directly or indirectly dependent on rivers. Rivers not only important to human it is also important to animals and plants. Because river act as most biodiversity rich area. But nowadays Rivers become polluted by various ways. Mostly occurred by industrial effluents and heavy metals contamination. Metal directly or through drain enter into rivers. Metals like, Fe,Hg,Cd, Pb, Zn cause most pollution in rivers. Beside sewage water directly fall into rivers and ultimately pollutes river. This paper contains cause of river pollution, effects of river pollution and remedial measure of river pollution. Key words: Heavy metals, Pollutants, Pesticides, Runoff, Anaemia, Food chain. INTRODUCTION Singh and others (1997) report that due to Water is essential for all aquatic and heavy metals river Gomati sediments terrestrial animals and plants. Organic around the Lucknowurban centre are pollutants and heavy metals are the major polluted. Most polluted river in India is source of pollutants in river (Goldar and Yamuna River and many industries are Banerjee 2004).

The most recently published model of alluvial deposition for the Middle Son Valley subdivides its alluvium into five stratigraphic formations, each associated with a specific ra tefact assemblage. In this study, new cross-valley topographic profiles, field observations and infrared stimulated luminescence (IRSL) age estimates are used to refine this model south of the Rehi-Son River confluence.
