1.0 Background
Water is essential for thriving of people, it is needed for domestic purposes, agricultural,
industrial and energy production and these uses are highly inter-linked and sometimes
in competition to each other use. Water consumption pattern in India is around 90% in
agriculture, 6% in domestic and 4% for industrial use. Usage of water by industrial and
domestic purposes generates wastewater that may cause pollution, however agriculture
usage largely remains consumptive.
The key challenges to better management of the water quality in India are temporal and
spatial variation of rainfall, improper management of surface runoff, uneven geographic
distribution of surface water resources, persistent droughts, overuse of ground water
and contamination, drainage & salinization and water quality problems due to treated,
partially treated and untreated wastewater discharge from urban settlements, industrial
establishments and runoff from irrigation sector besides poor management of municipal
solid waste and animal dung in rural areas.
India, being an economy in transition from developing to developed nation, is faced with
two problems. On one side, lack of infrastructure and on the other, an ever-increasing
urban population. The urban population in India was about 387 million in 2011 and rose
to about 420 million by 2017. This has thrown up two self-perpetuating problems viz.
shortage of water and sewage overload. It is estimated that by 2050, more than 50% of
the country’s population estimated as 1000 million will live in cities and towns and thus
the likely demand for infrastructure facilities including fresh water for drinking and
resultant wastewater discharges are expected to rise sharply posing a challenge to
urban planners, policy makers, environmental regulators and managers.
Public services could not keep pace with rapid urbanization. Water supply, sanitation
measure, management of sewage and solid wastes could cover a fraction of total urban
population. The majority of towns and cities have no sewerage and sewage treatment
services. Many cities have expanded beyond municipalities, but the new urban
agglomerations remain under rural administrations, which do not have capacity to
handle the sewage. The sewage is either directly dumped into rivers or lakes or in the
open field.
The fresh water resources forming rivers, lakes and enriching aquifer through inflow
from water sheds. Water shed retain the rain water through trees, bushes and grass
land which infiltrate to subsurface and the surface water flow from the land mass by
gravity action. Degradation of water shed in terms of tree cutting, cattle grazing etc. is
Water that supports productive activities such as; agriculture, generation of hydro
power, municipal drinking water supply, industrial consumptive and non-consumptive
use etc. have competitive demand that leads to no flow or very meagre flow in the rivers
and streams for sustaining environmental concerns.
The rain fall pattern in the sub-continent of India varies widely from West to East and
the average rain fall days are forty in a year. This rain fall pattern leads to flooding
during monsoon season in the rivers and streams whereas lean flow period remains for
nine to ten months. The lean flow period is unable to sustain the competing uses on
one hand and leading to pollution in the rivers and streams on the other hand due to
lack of infrastructure for handling/treating municipal as well as industrial effluents.
In view of wide variability in rain fall pattern and few rain fall days in a year,
conservation of water by application of water shed management practices will improve
water retention capacity as soil moisture in the root zone of trees and grass land by
building bunds across gullies and furrows to retain rain water. The water retention
structures will increase infiltration, water holding capacity and prevent soil erosion. In
this way an appreciable amount of precipitation which is generally lost as a surface
flow, can be harvested and stored in the water shed for beneficial purposes during non-
monsoon months.
Water Quality Assessment activities have provided base line information in respect of
water bodies covered under the network locations. Water quality in rivers is
deteriorating due to depleting water flow, aggravated by discharge of pollutants from
domestic sewage, industrial effluents and run-off from agriculture. Most of the surface
water bodies in the country are contaminated to some extent due to organic pollutants
and bacteriological contamination. 317 polluted river stretches on 293 rivers and
tributaries have been identified and enclosed at (Annexure I – Table 1to5).
The monitoring locations not meeting the water quality criteria have been identified as
polluted and the sources of pollution are identified for intervention to contain the
discharges. The river action plans are formed on the basis of source identification and
enforcement of discharge standards.
Broadly sources of pollution are categorized as point sources and non-point sources.
Point sources impacting the water resources in a significant manner whereas non-point
sources are contributing only during the monsoon season or the rainy days which are
confined to 40 monsoon days in the large part of Indian sub-continent. Thus the control
of pollution from point sources is the prime requirement and accordingly required to be
prioritized.
It is estimated that 30042 million litres per day (MLD) of domestic sewage is generated
from urban areas along the polluted river stretches. The installed sewage treatment
capacity is about 16846 MLD leaving a gap of about 13196 MLD (43.9%)
There are issues with regard to regular operation of these STPs and compliance to
discharge standards. The new Effluent discharge standards (applicable to all mode of
disposal) for sewage treatment plants has been notified by Ministry of Environment,
Forest and Climate Change under the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986 vide
G.S.R. 1265 (E) dated 13th October, 2017 (pH 6.5 -9.0; BOD-20 mg/ (metro cities and
as mentioned in the notification) and 30 mg/l ( areas /regions other than mentioned in
the notification); Total Suspended Solids <50 mg/ (metro cities and as mentioned in the
notification) and <100 mg/l (areas /regions other than mentioned in the notification) and
Feacal Coliform (MPN/100ml)<1000 mg/l (anywhere in the country) with an objective to
encourage use of treated water for non-potable domestic, commercial or industrial use
as well as to provide better assimilating capacity to receiving water bodies. Limitations
in managing the treatment of domestic wastewater in the country are attributed to:
Lack of sewerage systems for collection and conveyance of sewage (open storm
water drains carry city sewage in many cities)
Non availability of STPs
Inappropriate technology and capacity of STPs
Non-prioritization of wastewater treatment (focus has been on supply of drinking
water rather than wastewater treatment)
No revenue source to meet the management cost of sewage
Limitation of skilled manpower, technical know-how on operation
Non-sustainable approach in design of Sewage management projects
Water not considered as valuable resources and the concept of Reuse, Recycle
& Recovery not imbibed in project design
Energy recovery potential not envisaged (there is a potential to meet up to 50%
of the energy requirement through captive generation)
Multiple agencies are not making efforts for meeting the objectives
ULBs are so far immune to enforcement and regulatory provisions
Lack of awareness on consequences
As per an estimate carried by CPCB in the year 2005, about 11000 MLD of wastewater
There are large number of highly polluting small scale industries such as tanneries,
textile, electroplating, dye & dye intermediates, food processing etc., which exists in
clusters in industrial estates. These industries collectively have high pollution potential
on receiving environment. Having limited financial resources at their disposal in
individual capacity, CETPs (Common Effluent Treatment Plants) are a viable option for
SSI units for management of cluster origin industrial wastewater.
Various schemes of Government have been facilitating and encouraging CETPs, over
past 2 decades. The number of CETPs increased from 88 facilities (with a capacity of
560 MLD) in the year 2005 to 193 facilities with treatment capacity of 1500 MLD.
However, achievement of satisfactory performance has been a challenge, including
non-compliance to standards due to (i) discharge of recalcitrant effluent from
heterogeneous chemical industrial sources and (ii) non-compliance to inlet water quality
by member industries.
Government of India has enacted various Acts and assigned functions to Ministries of
Water resources, Urban Development and Environment, Forest & Climate Change to
achieve sustainable consumptions and usage of water resources. The Water
Restoration of Polluted River Stretches 5
(Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974 specifies provision for prevention and
control of water pollution and maintaining or restoring of wholesomeness of water. The
Water Act also confers the powers and functions to Central and State Pollution Control
Boards to achieve the objective.
The Water Act mandates the Boards to plan and execute nationwide programme for
prevention, control or abatement of pollution, disseminate information and knowledge
by publishing technical documents and lay down standards for regulatory purpose.
Water quality of natural environment (river, lakes and other water bodies) are mandated
under the provisions of environmental acts. The Water (Prevention & Control of
Pollution) Act, 1974 has elaborated on the restoration and maintenance of
wholesomeness of water. The wholesomeness has been defined for practical purposes
by CPCB in the form of designated best uses of water with a set of parameters and
their limits. The water quality assessment and its interpretation have highlighted the
compliance of water for designated uses and the exceedance of one or more parameter
have been defined as polluted. The regulatory provisions under The Water Act, 1974
are enshrined in section 18 for the Central Govt. Water being the state subject, the
enforcement is largely confined to the State Govt. Authorities (i.e. SPCB/PCC).
The legal and institutional provisions are provided in Water (Prevention and Control of
Pollution) Act 1974 wherein standards are developed and enforced for treatment of
municipal wastewater by Pollution Control Boards. There are provisions for tightening of
standards by State Pollution Control Board for site specific requirements, in view of low
flow or no flow in stretches of rivers or streams and for critically polluted areas in view of
high concentration of pollution loads in a specific area. The need based directions for
zero discharge are prescribed for grossly polluting industrial units however such
enforcements are non-implementable in case of municipal bodies. The concept of
delinking of sewer to river is gaining momentum in river conservation plans and may
bring visible improvement in water quality of recipient’s water bodies. There is however
a need of making the rivers and streams perennial by introduction of
minimum/environmental/ecological flows for maintaining the biodiversity and
sustainable ecosystem of aquatic resources through institutional provisions.
Plan for restoration of polluted river stretches can be executed through two fold
concepts. One concept may target for enhancement of river flow through interventions
on the water sheds/catchment areas for conservation and recharge of rain water for
subsequent releases during lean flow period in a year. This concept will work on dilution
of pollutants in the rivers and streams to reduce concentration to meet desired level of
water quality. Other concept of regulation and enforcement of standards in conjunction
with the available flow in rivers /streams and allocation of discharges with stipulated
norms.
The water quality assessment of aquatic resources on long term basis provided
information on the segments of rivers that are not meeting water quality criteria and
have been identified as polluted. Assessment studies carried out on the sources of
pollution in the rivers has highlighted the need for creation of infrastructure facilities
(STPs /CETPs/ETPs) for management of wastewater in line with low flow or no flow of
fresh water in the rivers and streams; and waste water flows make the river perennial.
Recognition Phase Identification and recognition of the problem, analysis of the cause
of the problem and its effect and development of alternative solutions of problem.
Restoration Phase includes two main steps viz. Selection of best solution to problems
identified and application of the solution to the problems of the land.
Protection Phase takes care of the general health of the watershed and ensures
normal functioning. The protection is against all factors which may cause detrimental in
watershed condition.
Improvement phase deals with overall improvement in the watershed and all land is
covered. Attention is paid to agriculture and forest management and production, forage
production and pasture management, socio economic conditions to achieve the
objectives of watershed management.
Various initiatives have been taken by CPCB to reduce water demand from industry by
promoting/stipulating ZLD, water conservation and recycling/reuse/recovery measures.
The response and results of such measures have been encouraging. In Ganga basin,
35 Distilleries have achieved ZLD, and in Paper & Pulp sector about 30% of water
consumption has reduced. Measures to minimize the water discharge from sugar
industries have been also identified and based on the feasibility, sugar industries were
directed to reduce water consumption to 220 l/ton of cane crushed.
All CETPs (Textile and Tanneries) in Tamil Nadu are either in the process of and/or are
operating on ZLD system. The recovered water from the ZLD system suffices water
demand of industries at cheaper cost.
Polluted river stretches throughout the country have been identified for restoration of
water quality through identification of sources of pollution and interventions through
treatment for the municipal as well as industrial effluents.
The river restoration action plans are designed for control of pollution and to restore the
water quality of the rivers. The infrastructure development for treatment of sewage
always remains short of the waste water generation. The ever growing population and
increasing water use in the urban centers has outpaced the plan for creation of
infrastructure. The river action plans although have not improve the quality of the water
resources however in absence of such plans, the quality of aquatic resources would
have been further deteriorated.
•Reconnaissance visit
•First round sampling of river/ stream/ drains
Step I •Demarcation the water shed map
•Treatment technologies, prevailing discharge standards, available flow in the river/ stream
•Review of discharge standards/stream flow
Step III
•Disseminate the information gathered during the above four steps on assessment/intervention &
monitoring of improvement in water quality
Step V
Above stated broad concept shall be followed in the development of water quality
management plan for polluted rivers and the respective stretches of the rivers
Polluted river Hindon stretches have been targeted for restoration of water quality
through identification of sources of pollution and interventions through treatment for the
municipal as well as industrial effluents.
The river Hindon is one of the polluted river identified through National Water Quality
Monitoring Programme and for restoration of its quality, it is proposed to begin with the
reconnaissance survey from its origin (Shivalik foot fills) to its confluence with river
Yamuna. The proposed activity shall be carried out in association with the SPCB of
U.P. The available information in CPCB with respect of sewage generation and sewage
treatment capacity shall be verified. The information in respect of industrial units will be
gathered from regional offices of U.P.PCB.
The monitoring will be carried out for detailed assessment of sources of pollution and to
explore the possible options to improve the river water quality. A preliminary report will
be prepared for embarking on the second step of the plan activity.
Water Quality Assessment activities have provided base line information in respect of
water bodies covered under the network locations. The monitoring locations not
meeting the water quality criteria have been identified as polluted and the sources of
pollution are identified for intervention to contain the discharges. The river action plans
are formed on the basis of source identification and enforcement of discharge
standards.
Among the polluted rivers, river Hindon has been taken up as a model for preparation of
plan for restoration of water quality (Annexure-V River Hindon-Restoration Plan).
River Hindon in the upper reach from its origin till it enters the plains in Saharanpur
District in U.P. thus may be considered for water shed development to augment the flow
of its origin through respective State Department of Forest, Agriculture, Irrigation and
Flood Control, Soil Conservation and State Pollution Control Board.
4. Directions issued for setting up of online monitoring system in the industrial units
for enforcement of prescribed standards.
5. Directions issued for ZLD in respect of distillery units and specific plan is under
implementation with respect to industrial sectors such as Pulp & Paper, Textile
and Sugar.
1. Review the consent conditions for the industrial units and suggest the
parameters in compliance to water quality requirement viz. discharge of BOD not
more than 10mg/l, COD 50 mg/l and Suspended Solids 10 mg/l.
2. Review the design standards for STPs and suggest the parameters in
compliance to Water Quality requirement viz. pH 6.5 -9.0; BOD-20 mg/ (metro
cities and as mentioned in the notification) and 30 mg/l ( areas /regions other
than mentioned in the notification); Total Suspended Solids <50 mg/ (metro cities
and as mentioned in the notification) and <100 mg/l (areas /regions other than
mentioned in the notification) and Feacal Coliform (MPN/100ml)<1000 mg/l
(anywhere in the country).
3. Explore possibility to create storages in the water shed of River for release of
water during non-monsoon period.
The main components of the plan are (i) Recognition Phase for gathering of information
on identified polluted river stretch, reconnaissance survey sampling of river and
assessment of water quality; (ii) Restoration Phase for preparation of detailed project
report, identification of sources of pollution and in-situ bioremediation of drains; (iii)
Protection Phase on assessment of treatment technologies, available river flow,
prevailing discharge standards, setting up of Sewage Treatment Plants (STPs)/Effluent
Cost component shall be an integral part of Detailed Project report. Most of the cities
and towns are deficient in treatment of its total sewage generated. In order to cater
each identified town on the bank of polluted rivers and gaps observed between total
sewage generated and treatment capacity needs to be considered for planning. Cost
component shall invariably depend towards construction, operation and maintenance of
sewage treatment plant. On an average Rs 2.50 Crore has been estimated as Capital
cost (for primary, secondary and tertiary treatment) excluding Operation and
maintenance cost for all the available conventional and recent technologies. In some
cities and towns developed capacity of STP is fully or partially underutilized due to
inadequate sewerage network and other perpetual issues.
As per the study conducted in the year 2015, the sum total of sewage generation from
659 towns is 30042 MLD and available treatment capacity is 16846 MLD along the
rivers. The gap of 13196 MLD needs to be catered under restoration plan to maintain
the water quality of the recipient rivers for prevention and control of pollution. Total
estimated cost shall be Rs. 32990 Crore to bridge the gap of sewage treatment in the
identified cities and towns along the river.
River restoration plans are formulated for controlling pollution and maintaining the water
quality of rivers. Therefore, polluted stretches have been targeted by identifying the
sources of pollution and their treatment for municipal and industrial effluents using
conventional as well as advanced techniques.
There is need to limit water consumption from all available resources including
wastewater by recycling, reuse, recharging and storages, which includes operating on
site treatment generators and its reuse. There is urgent need to plan strategies and give
thrust to policies giving equal weight age to augmentation of water supplied and
development of wastewater treatment facilities.
The operation and maintenance of STPs/ETUs are not satisfactory due to uninterrupted
power supply/ backup power supply is not ensured, municipal authorities do not have
the adequate funds for spares, payment of electricity bills, lack of skilled manpower and
most of the plant is underutilized due to lack of sewer lines. The sludge generated from
STPs/ETPs is required to be treated and disposed off in accordance with the provisions
of E (P) Act 1986. Even the possibility of recovery of methane should be considered
wherever possible by adopting environmental friendly technology.
Although municipal waste water treatment is given impetus under National River
Conservation Plan (NRCP) of Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change,
Government of India to provide sewage treatment plant to cities discharging wastewater
in rivers, there is a huge gap between wastewater generation and its treatment.
There are various issues with treatment technology in addition to management aspects.
The primary requirement of treatment aspect is adequate and intermitted supply of
electricity which is a deterrent in the present context in almost all the States of the
country. The treatment technology selection for different sizes of urban settlement is
another issue due to constraint of land availability.
The waste stabilization ponds (oxidation pond, maturation pond and duckweed pond)
are most appropriate and rugged systems for small towns having land availability for
treatment plant and use of treated wastewater in agriculture land. In large urban
settlements having land scarcity for establishment of sewage treatment plant and
application of treated sewage for farm application, mechanical treatment systems viz.
activated sludge process, trickling filter, up flow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB), and
aerated lagoons are appropriate and produce good results. There are success stories
of treatment plants producing reasonably good quality water which is being used in the
industrial sector for process as well as cooling purposes thereby reducing demand for
fresh water.
The identified polluted river stretches are classified in five groups based on
concentration of organic matter and bacterial pollution present in the water (measured
as BOD and Feacal Coliform)
Among the five groups, approach of highest pollution levels in rivers grouped in Priority
One (number of polluted stretches- 48) may be taken up wherein big urban
In the down up approach wherein polluted river stretches in Priority Five (number of
polluted stretches-118), and priority four can be taken up with relatively smaller volume
of municipal waste water contribution having very less concentration of organic pollution
load. These stretches may be addressed through the non-conventional treatment
technologies requiring less expenditure and less operation and maintenance cost.
Choice of approaches can be taken up based on the availability of resources.

Polluted river Hindon stretches have been targeted for restoration of water quality
through identification of sources of pollution and interventions through treatment for the
municipal as well as industrial effluents.
The river action plans are designed for control of pollution and to restore the water
quality of the rivers. The infrastructure development for treatment of sewage always
remains short of the waste water generation. The ever growing population and
increasing water use in the urban centers has outpaced the plan for creation of
infrastructure. The river action plans although have not improve the quality of the water
resources however in absence of such plans, the quality of aquatic resources would
have been further deteriorated.
Step taken for improvement of water Quality are provided herewith;
Directions issued to SPCB under Section 18 (1) (b) for planning and
execution of facilities by municipal authorities to develop infrastructure for
Sewage treatment.
Directions issued to Municipal Corporation Ghaziabad under Section 5 of
EPA for planning and execution of facilities by municipal authorities to
develop infrastructure for Sewage treatment.
Directions on polluted river stretches (River Hindon) issued to UP PCB for
assessment of sources of pollution and to plan and execute enforcement of
standards for treatment of municipal sewage and industrial establishments to
consent management.
Directions issued for setting up of online monitoring system in the industrial
units for enforcement of prescribed standards.
Directions issued for ZLD in respect of distillery units and specific plan is
under implementation with respect to Pulp& Paper Sector, Textile Sector and
Sugar Sector
Review the consent conditions for the industrial units and suggest the
parameters in compliance to water quality requirement viz. discharge of BOD not
more than 10 mg/l, COD 50 mg/l and Suspended solids 10 mg/l.
The suggested plan may be implemented within a time frame of one year.
