Water Quality ScenarioWater quality is a major emerging concern throughout the India.
Drinking water sources are threatened from contamination.
Groundwater is emerging as an essential and vital component of our life support system.
There is growing concern on deterioration of ground water quality due to geogenic and anthropogenic activities.
![Page 6: ‘Ground Water Pollution’](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062322/568149a3550346895db6e4dd/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Groundwater Quality Scenario
Increase in overall salinity of the groundwater,
Presence of high concentrations of fluoride, nitrate, iron, arsenic, total hardness and few toxic metal ions,
Like surface water pollution, groundwater is also susceptible to contamination from various natural and man-made sources.

Groundwater Quality MonitoringCGWB has been assessing ground water quality
of the country through twenty two parameters.These parameters include six important ones as
follows;I. Electrical Conductivity in GroundwaterII. Chloride in Ground WaterIII. Fluoride in Ground Water IV. Iron in Ground Water V. Arsenic in Ground WaterVI. Nitrate in Ground Water

Sources of Groundwater Pollution
Due to contamination by microbes, chemicals, hazardous substances and other foreign particles.
Industries which produce toxic effluent.
Agricultural run off.Sewage

Preamble
• Water quality monitoring, surveillance and remediation have attained significant global importance in view of environment & health concerns. Also a key component of Millennium Development Goals & enshrined in NWP & NEP.
• About 2.17 Lakh rural population affected with water quality problems.
• Developmental activities also have contributed significant pollution load in freshwater systems.

Achievement of WQAA Organisation of various workshops and
seminars on issues related to water quality assessment and management
"Uniform Protocol on Water Quality Monitoring Order 2005" was issued for observance of uniform protocol on water quality monitoring by all organisations, agencies and any other body monitoring surface and ground water quality.
Guidelines for preparation of Water Quality Management Plan were finalised.

Issues in MonitoringThe network of monitoring stations is not dense.
Water quality analysis excludes critical parameters.
There is virtually no agency taking up the matter of pollution by radioactive contaminants.
Lack of Institutions.
Monitoring does not cover “non-point” pollution from agriculture.
Problems with institutional design.
Groundwater contamination most often occurs due to geo-hydro chemical processes activated by pumping.
![Page 24: ‘Ground Water Pollution’](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062322/568149a3550346895db6e4dd/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Challenges Ahead
Urgent need of research in this area for developing low cost technology.
Public Private Partnership (PPP) with viability gap funding model.
Civil society/institutions need to be strengthened.
Knowledge and awareness about ill-effects of drinking contaminated/polluted water.

The task of controlling pollution today is not easy. The tremendous amount of types and sources of water pollution, in addition to its complex nature, calls for conducting much study and research into pollution problems. The most effective means of controlling pollution results from cooperation between scientists, legislators, citizens and industry.
Pollution Control Framework
![Page 27: ‘Ground Water Pollution’](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062322/568149a3550346895db6e4dd/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Identify sources and types of pollutionDetermine amount and concentration
of pollutionStudy the effects of pollutionRecommend safe pollution levelsStudy and design pollution control
methodsDevelop pollution remediation and
clean-up plans control programsMonitor effectiveness of clean-up
effortsResearch new treatment technologies

Support education programs, wildlife preserves, etc.
Establish quality control to limit pollution
Develop recycling programs Find commercial uses for wastes
and byproducts Research and use better production

• Technical & financial support for water quality assessment programmes including, strengthening of water quality monitoring networks & surveillance systems, capacity building, R & D need promoting participatory water quality monitoring systems.
• Upgradation & benchmarking of laboratories, development and evaluation of technologies, tools and guidelines for water quality assessment and management.
• Managing water quality database / information systems etc and strengthening of mechanism for knowledge sharing amongst various stakeholders in the water quality management system
• Technical assistance and investment support for eco-restoration of rivers with a view to ensure minimum flow in rivers.
Way forward

While we watched this presentation and discussed the way forward…
Much water flowed down to the sea making it unusable…
