DISCHARGES FROM GROSS POLLUTING INDUSTRIES INTO GANGA RIVER BASIN: AN UPDATE OF CRITICAL DEVELOPMENTRupanjali Singh, Amit Arora, Ajit Vidyarthi, R. K. Singh and C.B. MajumderAbstract Gross Pollution Industries (GPIs) are the industries that discharge a pollution load of more than 100 kg per day. These pollutants are even sometimes much more toxic and lethal to environment. Water flows like River Ganga, Yamuna are being affected much, thereby affecting human lives, aquatic lives, and flora and fauna. Their characteristic evaluation and spread determination are essential before estimation and application of any technology. Its chemical nature fixes its reaction with the environment, specifically with Ganga River Environment. In the present work, an attempt has been made for the characterization of all spread, released from GPIs. Satellite images from INSAT 1C are being analyzed using Arc GIS software for this purpose. The model of the spread predicts its impact on the environment. In this publication, all the development that happened during the last fiveyear plan has been critically analyzed to understand the application of modern India�s indigenous plan. |
