Urban Groundwater Monitoring and Management

Transcription

1 Urban Groundwater Monitoring and Management 377 million live in urban areas Sushil Gupta Chairman, CGWB But what is happening underground?

2 Urbanization- Indian Context % of the total population lives in urban areas, as per 2011 census. Rapid urbanization results in a large scale consumption of ground water. Its is expected that by 2021 approx 40% people would live in urban area where major economic activities would take place. Innovative urban planning contribute to economic development by strengthening urban infrastructure. Urban sector presently contributes about 62% 63% of the Indian GDP and expected to increase to 75% by Source-Planning Commission report

3 Urban water supply system in Indian cities There are 3 types of situation. Entire water supply from surface water Entire water supply from ground water. Mixed supply, a combination of both.

4 URBAN GROUNDWATER USE classification of settings and scenarios Delhi Chennai Kolkata

5 URBAN DEVELOPMENT one p person s solution becomes the others p problem The Integrating Element

6 GROUNDWATER & THE CITY -an evolving (often unsustainable) relationship

7 Impact of urbanization on ground water regime Fig. 1 Saline water intrusion Ground water abstraction results in : Progressive lowering of ground water level. Decrease in well yield. Changes in surface waterground water relationship. Infiltration from rivers. Saline water intrusion ( fig 1 ) Large scale lowering may cause compaction of sediments, mainly clays and silts causing subsidence.

8 Impact of Urbanization over Ground water Acid mine drainage Industrial wastes Reduction of recharge area due to roads, building and pavements. Deterioration of groundwater quality due to mixing of sewerage water through unlined open drains, leakage from cesspits and septic tanks. Acid mine drainage Contamination from industrial wastes Radioactive contamination

9 Impact of Urbanization over Ground water Water accumulation wastewater infiltration

33 GROUNDWATER QUALITY -DELHI The quality of ground water is fresh down to 30 m. to 70 m., below which the water is brackish to saline. Fresh/Saline water interface is deep (approximately 70 m bgl) in Palla area and in Jagatpur & Sonia Vihar areas ground water is brackish/saline even at shallower depths of 20 to 25 m.

34 GROUNDWATER QUALITY -DELHI Salinity of ground water is measured in terms of EC. The EC values of ground water of New Delhi ranges from 237μS/cm at TRANSCO Wazirabad in North East district to 16700μS/cm at 25 0 C at Kair in district South west.

35 GROUNDWATER QUALITY -DELHI The nitrate (NO 3 ) concentration in groundwater ranges from trace at few places to 1500mg/l at Tikrii Kalan in West district. In about 73.4% of the samples, Nitrate is more than the safe drinking water limit of 45 mg/l

36 GROUNDWATER QUALITY -DELHI Fluoride is present in almost all samples and its concentration generally varies from 0.07 mg/l at Katlupur in district North West to 7.24 mg/l at Khaira Kalan also in district North West. In about 14.5% of the samples, fluoride is more than the safe drinking water limit of 1.5mg/l.

37 GROUNDWATER QUALITY -DELHI Limit: 0.01 mg/l Limit: 0.05 mg/l

38 GROUNDWATER QUALITY -DELHI Limit : 0.05 mg/l (may relax upto : 1.5 mg/l) Limit : 0.1 mg/l
