Abstract: | The aim of the present research study was to visualise the present scenario of pollution in River Yamuna in Panipat area, which is now a part of NCR, due to the burgeoning population and expansion of urban and industrial activities and to decipher the water pollution vulnerability zones in this dead stretch of River Yamuna. This research also highlights the impact of wastewater carrying drains on River Yamuna including its flow, groundwater and soils in the study area. Further, the groundwater potential zones were also delineated for its sustenance as it serves as an additional water resource. These wastewater drains are not only posing threat to the surface water quality but are also impacting the soils and groundwater resources of the study area. The high rate of groundwater draft as compared to the available groundwater recharge was responsible for the over-exploited groundwater resources in the study area. To overcome this problem, storm water management, setting up of more artificial recharge structures for managed aquifer recharge both in urban/industrial areas and floodplains, compulsory rainwater harvesting structures on every urban household and industrial unit, revival of dried ponds in rural areas, conservation agriculture, diversion and utilization of flood water during monsoon season may bring some positive. The findings of this study will serve as baseline for the planning and management of industrial activities to broach new scientific policy for the industrial regulations to control the menace of effluent disposal in the riverine ecosystem which is important for sustenance of these precious resources. newline newline |
