Impact of anthropogenic activities on the Physiochemical dynamics of Gurgaon canal and its surrounding ecosystem: a case study of Nuh, Haryana
Journal Title: International Journal of Engineering and Science Invention - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 10
Abstract
Water, the elixir of life, is a natural resource of utmost importance. Gurgaon canal being a paramount water resource for the Mewat region has been subjected to uncontrolled wastewater disposal. Its 30-km stretch passing through Mewat district has virtually turned into a drain, with water quality unfit for its original purpose i.e irrigation. The quality of water had been severely affected in the past several years due to a rampant release of untreated industrial waste and sewage into the canal and lack of mitigating measures. It was observed that the main cause of deterioration in water quality was due to the high anthropogenic activities, illegal discharge of sewage and industrial effluent, lack of proper sanitation, and urban runoff. The study thus presents the current state of the canal based on physiochemical water parameters, viz. the temperature, turbidity, total dissolved solid (TDS), pH, biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD), dissolved oxygen, Sulfate, Phosphate, and total hardness. Apart from the physiochemical investigation, the study also discusses the rise in pollution levels and its effect due to the rapid industrialization in neighboring areas. In the latter phase of this study practical and viable suggestions have been made to overcome this doomed state of affairs.
