River Ganga Suneel Dave Incharge NGRBA Cell The Ganga NGRBA Cell, - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

Welcome for the Workshop on Hydro- Meteorological Instrumentation Real-Time Water Quality Monitoring System for River Ganga Suneel Dave Incharge NGRBA Cell

The Ganga NGRBA Cell, CPCB Delhi 2

The Ganga - Important Locations 2nd September 2013 NGRBA Cell, CPCB Delhi 3

O BJECTIVES OF THE PROJECT • To assess nature and extent of pollution. • To understand the environmental fate of different pollutants. • To evaluate effectiveness of pollution control measures in place. • To evaluate water quality trend. • To assess the fitness of water for different uses NGRBA Cell, CPCB Delhi 4

The Network – Locations  On Main Stem : o Upstream and downstream of major urban areas o Downstream of Point sources from Industrial & Domestic discharge  Major tributaries : Upstream of the confluence with the Ganga  In major drains  At important mass bathing place  Upstream of intake well for drinking water treatment plants  Downstream of wastewater treatment plants NGRBA Cell, CPCB Delhi 5

The Network - Stations Station Type Total State Class I Class II Class III Uttarakhand 3 4 1 8 Uttar Pradesh 21 17 19 57 Bihar 4 1 8 13 West Bengal 12 14 9 35 Total 40 36 37 113 Class I: Indicates the primary stations at selected locations of the Ganga main stem. These will act as impact or baseline stations for maximum parameters Class II: Indicates the secondary stations at the remaining locations, on the main stem and at important tributaries for limited parameters Class III : Indicates stations in major drains for selected parameters NGRBA Cell, CPCB Delhi 6
