The rivers of Punjab, Haryana and West Uttar Pradesh, which were identified as the Green Region, were once in the grip of severe pollution. It is not only a serious threat to contaminated water, not only for the environment, but also for rural communities, farmers and human health. According to the Environmental Control Board, industrial units located in these states flow their waste into rivers without any treatment. These waste are harmful chemicals and heavy metals, which can cause water toxicity. In addition, unprecedented sewage from urban areas is released in rivers, causing feces, detergents and other harmful substances in water. Contaminated water has now become a serious threat to the villagers on the banks of the rivers.
Who is responsible for this poisonous water?
The question arises that the government is monitoring the drone on the burning of farmers, there is a cry from October to December, and farmers are blamed for the biggest pollution. But when water pollution increases in rivers, why is it not the same? Farmers have controlled the pollution of the government to burn with the government, but now the same village and farmers are suffering from water pollution, and they are not responsible for it.
The toxic water of the rivers reaches the homes and fields of the farmers. This water pollution has become a serious threat to human health, agriculture and ecology. Because of this, farmers’ crops are affected and the health of the villagers is intensifying. Drinking contaminated water, people fight with serious illnesses such as cancer, liver diseases, skin infections, jaundice, teeth problems and kidney stones. Animals and birds are also affected by the drinking of poisonous water in the river.
What does the Environmental Control Board say?
According to the Environmental Control Board, industrial units located in these states leave their waste without treatment, which contains harmful chemicals and heavy metals. In addition, sewage emitted from urban areas is found in rivers without treatment, causing water resources to pollute. According to the Central Pollution Control Board (CBCP), the amount of BOD (biological oxygen required) on many rivers monitoring sites has been found to exceed 30 mg/L, reflecting excessive pollution. For the decay of organic substances in the water, the microorganisms are certainly oxygen. If the BOD is high, the amount of oxygen dissolved in water reduces, causing a crisis for aquatic organisms and plants.
Rivers of Haryana
• The Gagger River:
◦ Kala Amba First Niringer: 21-40 mg/L Pot
The different locations: 40 mg/L to 21 mg.
• Markanda River:
◦ Black Amp Downstream: 590 mg/L Pot (the most anxious position)
• West Yamuna Canal:
◦ Yamunanagar Downstream: 247 mg/L Pot
◦ Tamala Yamunagar Dower: 188 mg/L Pot
Bod size up to 590 mg/L in some places due to Industrial industrial waste.
Rivers of the Punjab
• Sutlej River:
LUD Near Ludhiana: 50 mg/L Pot
• Other rivers:
◦ Takanshu Nala, Jaramal River (Sardulkar), Saraswati River (Ratanhari), Patiala River, Jaramal River: 30-50 mg/L Pot
The large part of the Kakar River is actively polluted, the main reason for industrial and municipal waste.
Rivers of West Uttar Pradesh
• Yamuna River:
Ag Agra, Mathura, Brindavan, Ettawa Sewage: 20-36 mg/L Pot
◦ Krishna and Kali River Society: 36 mg/L Pot
◦ Pura Mahadev River: 34 mg/L Pot
• Hindan River:
◦ Saharanpur First Yamuna River Society: 24 mg/L Pot
◦ Hindan Assistant Kali River Muzaffarnagar Downstream: 364 mg/L Pot
• Kali River:
◦ Meerut to Kanj:
▪ Kanj: 120 mg/L Pot
▪ Gulavati (Bulandshahr) Apsstream: 183 mg/L Pot
Sources of mousst pollution: industrial and municipal sewage from Meerut, Modeinagar, Bulandshahar, Hapore, Kulavati and Kannaj.
This water pollution has become a serious problem, which has a profound impact on not only the environment but also on human health and agriculture. The rivers of Punjab, Haryana and West Uttar Pradesh are in the grip of severe pollution. The amount of bod (biochemical oxygen needed) in the rivers of these states is very worrying, reflecting the dangerous condition of water pollution.
