The Karimnagar Municipal Corporation has embarked on construction of a new filter bed at an estimated cost of Rs 1.30 crore near the Lower Manair Dam (LMD) in the town. The new water purification mechanism is being installed as part of a comprehensive plan to meet the drinking water requirements of the rapidly expanding town with a futuristic vision, sources said. Karimnagar mayor D. Shankar formally launched the construction works here on Monday.
Delhi Chief Minister and chairperson of the Delhi Jal Board (DJB) Sheila Dikshit has stated that after getting adequate water from Haryana, Nangloi water treatment plant would function with its full capacity. This would provide sufficient water in Outer Delhi area. It has been discussed with the Haryana government and very soon adequate water would be supplied to the Nangloi plant. The Chief Minister also said that the DJB would strive hard to ensure supply of drinking water to all by commissioning 58 underground reservoirs (UGR) by March 2009.
Underground drinking water samples at six different sites of hand pump at J.P. Nagar were collected and analysed for thirteen different water quality parameters following standard methods and procedures. Water quality index (WQI) has been calculated for all the sites using the statistical data of all thirteen parameters and WHO drinking water standards.
Water conflicts in India have now percolated to every level. They are aggravated by the relative paucity of frameworks, policies and mechanisms to govern the use of water resources. This book brings together an impressive sixty-three case studies summarized status of the conflicts, the issues involved and their current position and gives us a glimpse into the million revolts that are brewing around water.
Weekly variations in free and total chlorine residuals and their impact on microbial concentrations were monitored for the IIT Kharagpur water supply to determine possible correlations between heterotrophic bacterial density, total and faecal coliform density, and total and free chlorine residuals.
Access to safe drinking water is crucial for a country's socio-economic development. This paper examines the problems affecting water quality in India's villages and advocates a holistic and people-centred approach of water management.
To obtain an assessment of bacteriological quality of drinking water of the district of Lakhimpur, Assam as many as 168 drinking water samples were collected from different sources of the district and analysed. During analysis it was found that 58.2% samples have coliform MPN more than 10 and 40% have faecal contamination.
This document summarizes the most recent water-related findings on global health impacts; presents recent information on effective interventions; summarizes information from economic evaluations; and describes recent insights on financing. The global health impacts presented are based on both rigorous assessments (for diarrhoea, trachoma, schistosomiasis and intestinal nematode infections) and reviews of expert opinion (all other addressed diseases).
When ammonia increases in water, the demand for chlorine goes up. It is used as a disinfectant to kill pathogenic organisms in drinking water. But ammonia consumes a large quantity of chlorine to oxidize to form chloramines and disinfection becomes ineffective. <br><br> Higher doses of chlorine in water with organic matter leads to the formation of disinfection byproducts like chloroform, bromoform etc. These are carcinogenic and cause problems related to liver, kidney and the nervous system. There are no standards for disinfection byproducts in India. <br>
This document provides a framework within which simultaneously conservation and development activities can be achieved with a view to maximize the quality of life for every one in the levels in the State, optimizing the ecological load on the natural systems as well as building up the State
