Stop polluting Ganga or shut shop: Uma Bharti

Government is now serious about river Ganga and directed the polluting industries to set up online effluent monitoring system by 31 st march next year. This tough message to polluting units is said by water resources minister Uma Bharti. "If the child (industry) would suck mother's (Ganga) blood, she would prefer the mother to survive", said Bharti. Her remarks came after several rounds of consultation with representatives of polluting industries.

The online effluent monitoring will bring the transparency in the process of monitoring. As per the new system, the industries are required to install "continuous effluent and emission monitoring devices"

Effluent Sewage and RO Water Treatment Plant

Sewage treatment plant ( Industrial STP System ) helps in removing contaminants from wastewater and household effluent, both runoff (effluents) and domestic. It includes physical, chemical, and biological processes to remove physical, chemical and biological contaminants. Its objective is to produce an environmentally safe fluid waste stream (or treated effluent) and a solid waste (or treated sludge) suitable for disposal or reuse (usually as farm fertilizer). Effluent Treatment Plant is used to make water more acceptable for a desired end-use. Our Commercial Effluent Treatment Plants ( Industrial ETP System ) covers the mechanisms and processes used to treat waters that have been contaminated in some way by anthropogenic industrial or commercial activities prior to its release into the environment or its re-use. Most industries produce some wet waste although recent trends in the developed world have been to minimise such production or recycle such waste within the production p

The MCG had already come under severe criticism for failing to increase the capacity of the existing plant. The untreated sewage is now flowing into the Yamuna River.

Trial run of sewage interceptor sewage project to start on Friday

NEW DELHI: The contentious interceptor sewage project, conceptualized by Delhi Jal Board as the answer to the Yamuna's pollution problem, is finally set to be rolled out. The trial run for the first phase of the project, involving interception of 9 million gallons per day of sewage in the Palam drain as it flows into the Najafgarh drain, will begin on Friday and will be commissioned within the next two weeks. The project involves laying of parallel channels along the three major drains of Delhi—Najafgarh, Supplementary and Shahdara drains. These will intercept sewage from the several smaller drains that flow into these three drains, carrying it to the nearest sewage treatment plant and discharging the treated effluent back into the main drains before they meet the Yamuna.
