Ganga Riverpollution through big drains in the Municipality areas A case study

Dr. Anadigayen

Abstract :

Big drains in different municipalities situated along the bank of Ganga are carrying municipal wastes from households and other sources, which is finally discharging in the Ganga River. Especially during rainy season, storm drainage carries huge wastes from entire municipality areas and causes large scale Ganga pollution. The City Sanitation Plan (CSP) is very much essential for these Municipalities, which has a polluted stretch of river Ganga. At present, very few municipalities are having sanitation related scheme under execution within the municipal area. Hence, Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) may be installed with all big drains to combat the big drains pollution issues.The solid waste generation is increasing in parity with population explosion over the period. Therefore, Solid Waste Management (SWM) is very important to maintain the clean environment. Community based approach and public awareness along with Municipality initiatives may be the suitable measure for cleaning the big drains and minimize the Ganga River pollution.
