Book excerpt: Cities have been known by the rivers that flow nearby-Landon and Thames, Rome and the Traverse, Paris and Seince, Banaras and Ganga. The Delhi and Yamuna sound unfamiliar, although the river is the main source of water supply to the city and plays most crucial role in its growth. The increase of population and activity in the Yamuna watershed is placing increasingly exigent demands upon its ecology.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: India has been traditionally well-endowed with large freshwater reserves, but increasing population, urbanization and agricultural growth in recent decades are causing overexploitation of surface and groundwater. As consumption of water grows, wastewater increases significantly and in the absence of proper measures for treatment and management, is polluting existing freshwater reserves. As a result, water pollution has emerged as one of the nation’s gravest environmental threats. This book draws a link between water pollution generated by different industries and the various economic activities of the Indian economy using the Input-output framework. It constructs a detailed water pollution coefficient matrix involving different types of water pollutants. The book estimates the total amount of water pollution generated directly and indirectly in different sectors and activities, and also calculates the water pollution content in India’s foreign trade sector. It also accounts for defensive expenditure from water pollution and estimates Green GDP for the extent and scope of environmental challenges. Analysis of the result indicates the variation in the pollution content of different economic activities. Finally, the book offers a portfolio of policies and assesses the implications of such policies on pollution generation in India.

This book was released on 2020-02-25 with total page 51 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scientific Study from the year 2014 in the subject Environmental Sciences, , language: English, abstract: In this work, the author classifies various human activities that cause pollution, discusses water pollution in detail according to their characteristics, and takes a general view of water pollution taking into effect the legal regime existing in India. In this context, an attempt has been made to assess the quality of water in the Jayakwadi reservoir. For the study of water quality important parameters such as pH, TDS, Temperature, EC, BOD and COD are considered. Water is one of the most indispensable resources and is the elixir of life. The value of surface water lies not only in its widespread occurrence and availability but also in its consistent good quality. Water pollution is a health hazard to people, and can be damaging to the environment. Therefore, it is necessary to manage the water quality of hydrological sources and predict the impact of contaminants on them. Water quality models can be used for a variety of different purposes, including analysing pollutant spills and predicting long-term water quality of surface water. In the recent years, environmental monitoring through regular assessment of water quality has become a crucial factor in the exploitation or conservation of aquatic resources. Control of water pollution has reached primary importance in development and a number of developing countries.
