 CHAPTER I
WATER QUALITY MONITORING IN INDIA

1.1 National Water Quality Monitoring Programme

The Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) has established a network of monitoring locations on
aquatic resources across the country. The monitoring of water quality initiated during 1977-78 under
Global Environmental Monitoring System (GEMS) and gradually increased the network to cover all
the aquatic resources.

1.2 Objectives of Water Quality Monitoring

The preamble of Water (prevention and control of pollution) Act, 1974 stated that pollution control
board both at States and Central level to restore and maintain the wholesomeness of water bodies in
India. Water quality monitoring is therefore an imperative prerequisite in order to assess the extent
of maintenance and restoration of water bodies. The water quality monitoring is performed with
following main objectives in mind.

 Rational planning of pollution control strategies and their prioritization

 To assess nature and extent of pollution control needed in different water bodies or their
part
 To evaluate effectiveness of pollution control measures already in existence
 To evaluate water quality trend over a period of time
 To assess assimilative capacity of a water body thereby reducing cost on pollution control
 To understand the environmental fate of different pollutants
 To assess the fitness of water for different uses

1.3 Monitoring Network, Parameters and Frequency

The present network operated under Global Environmental Monitoring System (GEMS) and
Monitoring of Indian National Aquatic Resources System (MINARS) covers 445 Rivers having
1275 locations. State wise Distribution of Water Quality Monitoring Stations is summarized in
Table 1. The names of 445 rivers in alphabetical order are presented in Table [Link] water
samples are analyzed in accordance to the notified protocol order In the present report data on
Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) is incorporated for interpretation and drawing inferences
based on primary water quality criteria.

1.4 Concept of Water Quality Management in India

The water quality management in India is performed under the provision of Water (Prevention and
Control of Pollution) Act, 1974. The basic objective of this Act is to maintain and restore the
wholesomeness of national aquatic resources by prevention and control of pollution. The Act does
not define the level of wholesomeness to be maintained or restored in different water bodies of the
country. The Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) has tried to define the wholesomeness in
terms of protection of human uses, and thus, taken human uses of water as base f or identification of
water quality objectives for different water bodies in the country.

It was considered ambitious to maintain or restore all natural water body at pristine level.
Planning pollution control activities to attain such a goal is bound to be deterrent to
developmental activities and cost prohibitive. Since the natural water bodies have got to be used
for various competing as well as conflicting demands, the objective is aimed at restoring and/or
maintaining natural water bodies or their parts to such a quality as needed for their best uses.
Thus, a concept of “designated best use” (DBU) was developed. According to this concept, out
of several uses a water body is put to, the use which demands highest quality of water is termed
as “designated best use”, and accordingly the water body is designated. Primary water quality
criteria for different uses have been identified.

The entire water resources of the country were classified according to their designated best uses
and a “Water Use Map” was prepared. For identification of the water bodies or their parts where
water quality is at variance with water quality criteria, it was felt important to measure water
quality of that water body or its part. It would help in preparation of “Water Quality Map” of
India. The idea was to superimpose “Water Quality Map” on “Water Use Map” to identify the
water bodies or their parts, which are in need of improvement (restoration). Subsequently
through a wide network of water quality monitoring, water quality data are acquired. A large
number of water bodies were identified as polluted stretches for taking appropriate measures to
restore their water quality. Today almost all policies and programmes on water quality
management are based on this concept including the Ganga Action Plan and National River
Action Plans.

 CHAPTER-II
CRITERIA AND PRIORITY OF POLLUTED RIVER STRETCHES

2.1 Identification of polluted river stretches

The stretches of rivers not meeting with the criteria are identified as polluted stretches and
categorized in five priority classes. As the level of BOD varies widely in River stretches the
same are prioritized in five categories based on BOD concentration consistently exceeding to
BOD levels >30 mg/l, BOD between 20&30 mg/l, BOD between 10&20mg/l, BOD between 6-
10 mg/l and BOD between 3& 6 mg/l. The data obtained are analyzed statistically and compared
with the water quality criteria with respect to BOD.

The water quality data for the years 2009-2012 is analyzed and monitoring locations exceeding
the water quality criteria are identified as polluted locations with respect to risk. The degree of
violation is with respect to water quality criteria for drinking water source with conventional
treatment with respect to BOD. The polluted locations in a continuous sequence are defined as
polluted river stretches.

2.2 Criteria for prioritization

The rivers have been prioritized based on the concentration of BOD in five classes from priority
I to V. The criteria of each priority are elaborated indicating the concentration range of BOD in
mg/l.

Criteria for Priority I

 Monitoring locations exceeding BOD concentration 30 mg/l has been considered as the
standard of sewage treatment plant and in river it appears without dilution.
(River locations having water quality exceeding discharge standards for BOD to fresh
water sources)

Criteria for Priority II

 Monitoring locations having BOD between 20-30 mg/l.

Criteria for Priority III

 Monitoring locations having BOD between 10-20 mg/l.

Criteria for Priority IV

 Monitoring locations having BOD between 6-10 mg/l.
7
Criteria for Priority V
 Monitoring locations having BOD between 3-6 mg/l.

2.3 Number of stretches- priority-wise

The priority wise number of river stretches has been summed up taking in to account of all the
states and union territories in the country. The details of priority-wise number of stretches are
summarized in Table 2.1 and the state-wise breakup is provided in Table 2.2. The polluted
riverine length have been worked out tentatively using the digital maps for each priority class.
The total polluted riverine length is 12,363 Km where in priority I to V is 2726 Km, 1145 Km,
1834 Km, 2496 Km and 4166 Km respectively (Table 2.3).

 CHAPTER – IV

CAUSITIVE FACTOR FOR POLLUTION OF RIVERS

4.1 Availability of Water Resources

Accelerating population growth and unsustainable consumption and production patterns have
increased the demand for water. In the greater competition for water, ecosystems and
biodiversity tend to be the losers. Activities that reduce biodiversity jeopardize economic
development and human health through losses of useful materials, genetic stocks, and potential
medicines. As ecosystems and biodiversity get degraded, their ability to lend resilience to the
biosphere declines, and communities and human health suffer. The decline in the quantity and
quality of water flow has reduced the productivity of many terrestrial, aquatic, and coastal zone
ecosystems and led to loss of biodiversity. The degradation of ecosystems has devastated
fishing, agriculture, grazing and undermined the survival potential of rural communities relying
on these activities.

Against a national per capita annual availability of 2,208 m3 of water, the average availability in
Brahmaputra and Barak is as high as 16,589 m3, while it is as low as 360 m3 in the Sabarmati
basin. The per capita annual water availability for the rest of the country, excluding Brahmaputra
and Barak basin works out to be about 1,583 m3.

Water availability less than 1,000 m3 per capita is considered by international agencies as
indicating scarcity conditions. Cauvery, Pennar, Sabarmati, east and west flowing medium and
minor rivers are some of the basins with scarcity conditions. In majority of river basins, current
utilization is significantly high and is in the range of 50-95 per cent of utilizable surface
resources. But, in rivers such as Narmada and Mahanadi, percentage utilization is only 23 and 34
per cent respectively. In several basins, there is also an over drawl of groundwater leading to
lowering of groundwater Tables and even salt water incursions. If the average national per capita
availability of 2,000 m3 is to be maintained, given the bourgeoning population, the only river in
North India with significant surplus water to meet future needs of the country is the
Brahmaputra. In peninsular India, the Godavari, Brahmani, Mahanadi and Narmada, besides
regions of Tapi and Tadri have surplus water. Inter-linking of rivers shall address the spatial
challenge of water availability. Besides its questionable techno-economic feasibility, the
associated ecological damages of river linking may be irreversible. While at the country level,
there may not appear to be an immediate problem of water availability, several basins (e.g.
Sabarmati) are already under severe stress and face scarcity situations. With increasing demands,
the situation is only going to be aggravated unless appropriate basin level measures are attempted
now.

38
 4.2 Water Pollution

The key challenges to better management of the water quality in India are temporal and spatial
variation of rainfall, uneven geographic distribution of surface water resources, persistent
droughts, overuse of ground water and contamination, salinisation and water quality problems
due to treated, partially treated and untreated wastewater from urban settlements, industrial
establishments and runoff from irrigation sector besides poor management of municipal solid
waste and animal dung in rural areas.

It is estimated that about 38,000 million litres per day (mld) of wastewater generated in the urban
centres having population more than 50,000 in India (housing more than 70% of urban
population) as on 2009. The municipal wastewater treatment capacity developed so far in India is
about 11,000 mld accounting for 29% of wastewater generation in these two classes of urban
centers. In view of population increase, demand of freshwater for all the uses will be
unmanageable. It is estimated that the projected wastewater from urban centres at present may be
about 57,000 mld and the rural India may also generate substantial volume of waste water in
view of water supply plans for community supplies in rural areas. However, waste water
management including development of treatment facilities are not addresses to that pace.

Most human activities whether domestic, agricultural or industrial have an impact on water and
the ecosystems. World Health Organization statistics indicate that half of India’s morbidity is
water related. Water borne diseases can be, to a large extent, controlled by managing human
consumption and production patterns. It is therefore pertinent to have an understanding of human
activities, including water management initiatives, and their impacts on water and the
environment.

4.2.1 Domestic Water Pollution

Waste management systems have not been able to keep pace with the huge volumes of organic
and non-biodegradable wastes generated daily. As a consequence, garbage in most parts of India
is unscientifically disposed and ultimately leads to increase in the pollutant load of surface and
groundwater courses. On the other hand, the large population of the poor in India does not have
much choice but to live off the natural resource base and pollute the environment in the process.
They deforest for food, fuel, fodder and fibre and pollute the water sources on which they
depend, since they cannot afford access to sanitation services. Domestic water use today, though
a small fraction of the total water requirement, is under-priced which leads to a considerable
waste of the precious resource and inadequate revenues for operation and maintenance. Low
revenues result in deterioration of the supply infrastructure and further loss of the resource due to
system inefficiencies. In most parts of the country, waste water from domestic sources is hardly

39
treated, due to inadequate sanitation facilities. This waste water, containing highly organic
pollutant load, finds its way into surface and groundwater courses, very often close to dense
pockets of human habitation from where further water is drawn for use. Considerable
investments will be required to install sewage treatment systems in all the major cities and towns
of the country.

4.2.2 Industrial Water Pollution

The Industrial sector accounts for about 8 per cent of the current water use. With rapid
industrialization and urbanization, the water requirement for energy and industrial use is
estimated to rise to about 18 per cent (191 bcm) of the total requirements in 2025. Poor
environmental management systems, especially in industries such as thermal power stations,
chemicals, metals and minerals, leather processing and sugar mills, have led to discharge of
highly toxic and organic wastewater. This has resulted in pollution of the surface and
groundwater sources from which water is also drawn for irrigation and domestic [Link]
enforcement of regulations regarding discharge of industrial wastewater and limits to extraction
of groundwater needs to be considerably strengthened, while more incentives are required for
promoting waste water reuse and recycling.

4.2.3 Agricultural Water Pollution

Two-thirds of India’s farm production comes from one-third of its land which is irrigated. The
rest is from rainfed areas that employ large populations. In order to meet the increasing demand
for food and farm employment, India has to enhance productivity in both irrigated and rainfed
areas. For the agricultural sector, water and electricity for irrigation are subsidized for political
reasons. This leads to wasteful flood irrigation rather than adoption of more optimal practices
such as sprinkler and drip irrigation. Cropping patterns and farming practices also do not
necessarily encourage the judicious use of water. Conservative estimates indicate that the same
quantity of irrigation water used today can irrigate double the current area with optimized
irrigation and farming practices. With limited revenues and budgetary support, the state
engineering departments are unable to operate and maintain the irrigation systems efficiently,
leading to increasing deterioration of the structures and systems over time. Consequently, there
are further water losses due to breaches and seepage, resulting in water logging and salinity.
Water quality is further affected due to the overuse of chemical fertilizers and pesticides.
