sewage toxifying ground water

HYDERABAD : The recent spate of moderate to heavy rains in the city may have boosted the groundwater levels by at least half a metre, but a new report reveals that the water thus recharged is highly contaminated with fluorides, nitrates and large quantities of iron. A report on the state's groundwater profile by the Central Groundwater Board (CGWB) says harmful chemicals are present in the water beyond the permissible limits. "It is bad news for the people as the report mentions a rise in the nitrate levels in the water. The basic source of nitrates in water sources is from sewerage , which seeps from improperly built septic tanks," Dr Shakeel Ahmed, chief scientist, National Geophysical Research Institute (NGRI), told TOI.

Water of Hindon river is then further taken into Yamuna which includes waste water of all these districts Hindon crosses through. As per the tests, the Ghaziabad and Noida has mojar role in polluting Hindon, which is being denied by the pollution control officials in respective cities and putting the blame for toxins in the Hindon on Saharanpur, Muzaffarnagar, Shamli, Meerut and Baghpat districts.
