In this article, an overview is given of the proposed and actual activities that are undertaken to reduce the pollution from the approximately 180 tanneries in Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh, India. As a part of an action plan to reduce the pollution of the river Ganga, this project includes in-house measures to reduce the output of chromium by the tanneries, and pre-treatment at the tanneries to reduce the solids content of the wastewater and to facilitate maintenance of the sewer system. A treatment plant consisting of two Upflow Anaerobic Sludge Bed (UASB) reactors, followed by a post-treatment facility, reduces the wastewater pollution by approximately 80% of BOD, COD, and TSS. However, sulphide output is still high, owing to the high sulphate concentrations in the wastewater. The sludge produced during the operations is projected to be used as a fertilizer.

Gangatiri cattle are mainly found in the adjacent areas of the river Ganga in eastern Uttar Pradesh (Chandauli, Ghazipur, Varanasi, Mirzapur and Ballia districts) and adjacent Bhabhua (Kaimoor), Buxar, Arrah and Chhapra areas of Bihar. The breeding tract of this breed includes mainly Ballia and Ghazipur districts of Uttar Pradesh and Rohtas and Shahbad Districts of Bihar. Present study was conducted on 114 Gangatiri cattle - an indigenous cattle herd - maintained at Surbhi Shodh Sansthan (Geeta Goshala), Dagmagpur, Mirzapur, Uttar Pradesh- to study the physical and morphometric characterstics. White colour was the most prominant colour in the population. Colour of coat, forehead and neck was white and eyelid, tail and hoof were black in 65.78, 76.31, 63.15, 66.66, 82.45 and 76.31 % of animals, respectively. Hair was mainly straight type (97.10 %) but 2.90 % of the animals also had curly type of hair. Medium size muzzle was present in 79.71 % of the animals while it was small and large sized in 11.59 and 8.69 % of animals, respectively. Shades of grey were also present on different body parts of these animals. Grey colour was the second most prominant colour in the population. Majority of animals have shallow groove in middle head (57.97 %). Poll was prominent in 92.75 % of the population. Forehead was straight type in almost 78.26 % of these animals. Most of the adult animal population (72.46 %) was having medium body size. The average height at wither, body length, heart girth, face length, face width, neck length, ear length, fore cannon bone girth, height at hip bone, height at pin bone, rump slope and rump length were 117.12±1.23, 108.06±0.90, 145.50±1.80, 30.14±0.86, 15.48±0.43, 47.07±1.25, 19.99±0.56, 15.65±0.40, 117.78±1.16, 105.25±1.10, 12.47±0.16 and 35.56±0.65 cm, respectively.

National Perspective

Climate is a measure of changes in meteorological variables. Sudden changes arise due to increasing deforestation, pollution, population, depletion of natural resources, global warming and industrialization etc. Uneven monsoon and irregular rainfall distribution causes great variations in climatic conditions which cause disasters; drought and flood. During monsoon season, flood occurs in several river basins of U.P and U.K states. According to Indian Meteorological Department, the average annual rainfall in U.P and U.K is more than other states; 100-120 cm and 120-400 cm respectively. Uttarakhand is among one of the highest rainfall states of India. Sharda river; a tributary of river Ganga overflows many times, causes flood in surrounded regions. Sharda-Yamuna link (S-Y) is one of the proposed links of National Perspective Plan to minimize flood in U.P and U.K states and drought in western parts such as Haryana, Rajasthan, and Gujarat of the country. Excess water will be transferred through S-Y link towards the drought regions of India. Approx 11,680 m3 of surplus water is estimated to transfer from river Sharda to river Yamuna to avoid flood in U.P and U.K states. The lining of the link passes through two states Uttarakhand and Uttar Pradesh. The S-Y may also help in maintaining the water balance in its Enrouted and Command regions. This paper highlights the climate change, flood and drought disaster issues and role of proposed Sharda-Yamuna link.

River Yamuna

We explore fish diversity and limnological status in the Yamuna River in Kalpi district, Uttar Pradesh, India. Several industrial and urban centers sit on the banks of the Yamuna in Uttar Pradesh. We selected four sampling stations on the Yamuna for purposes of fish fauna and water quality analysis over the course of a calendar year (October 2013 – September 2014). The samples were analyzed for selected physico-chemical analysis, and we recorded the types of fishes as well. We observed that most physico-chemical parameters were in a suitable range for the survival and growth of fish fauna. We recorded 29 species of fishes, belonging to 21 genera of 10 families.HYDRO Nepal JournalJournal of Water, Energy and EnvironmentIssue: 19Page: 57-62

Statistical Relationships

Past studies have demonstrated that some physico-chemical parameters play an important role in determining the quantity and quality of plankton in mountain (Himalayan) rivers. Due to their interplay they have well-defined statistical relationships. The present study assesses relationships among water temperature, DO, pH, CO2 and total alkalinity (TA) and plankton in the foothill section of the river Ganga at Veer-Bhadra barrage, Rishikesh. The correlation and regression analysis between showed linear +ve weak (non-significant) relationship for all abiotic factors except WT-DO. DO and TA show –ve linear insignificant relationship with plankton. Weak relationships suggests a perturbed ecosystem
