	Technologies for robust structural health monitoring of critical infrastructure and conservation & restoration of heritage structures.
India is one of the countries having rich, ancient culture which is represented by artefacts and monuments present all over India. Environmental pollutants such as acid rain, bacterial load and air pollution have damaged these precious heritage structures over the years and these may be lost in near future. Since, the heritage monuments are sensitive to chemical treatments owing to their natural construction and use of natural dyes, their cleaning needs to be addressed sensitively. Hence, sulfate reducing bacteria (SRB) and nitrogen reducing bacteria (NRB) innoculum will be studied and tested as biocleaning tools to remove salts deformities on the heritage structures which are mainly responsible for spoiling them. In this study, we are also focusing on the biological aspect of using bacteriophages as antimicrobial agents to reduce microbial load and bacteria-mediated spoilage of heritage structures. The main objective of this study is to conserve and protect the heritage structures in India.

	A detailed study on non-putrefying property of river Ganges in both sediment and water. (G-1-2298)
The Ganga basin has been center of rapid urbanization leading to altering the water quality of the River Ganga and the interactive environment of the River system. While attempting to carry out a scientific study to understand the water quality and special properties of the River Ganga, it is necessary to examine the River in its entirety, as a dynamic and interactive river system. There are numerous factors which are interdependent and interact to impact the water quality of the River Ganga. The study identified the trend of bacteriophages against pathogenic, non-pathogenic and opportunistic pathogenic bacterial isolates in water and sediment was same. The fresh water sedimentary metagenome-viromes differed from the earlier viromes collected from other fresh water sediments. The fresh water sediments from the River Ganga not only housed novel viromes, but also included unexplored double stranded DNA viruses. Importantly, Ganga River house important bacteriophages and other microbiomes which can be related to its non-putrefying properties. Being highly analytics and interdisciplinary intensive, this project will provide a strong scientific rationale to understand bacteriophage and microbial population diversity, purifying properties of the Ganga and disease predications. This study will provide a model system and validatable parameters for other rivers of India. The bacteriophages as antimicrobial agent may prove to have important role in non-putrefying and self-cleansing properties of Ganga.

	Tricopper Clusters as pMMO mimic for conversion of methane to methanol at ambient conditions (E3OW)
It is imperative to utilize the enormous worldwide reserves of methane (CH4) as effective utilization of this valuable resource is not only economically beneficial, but also environmentally advantageous (methane is a major contributor to global warming not only next to CO2 in percent contribution, but 23 times more detrimental on a molecular basis). Therefore, direct conversion of methane to easily transportable and commercially useful product like methanol has long been a goal of the chemical industry. Methanol is well established as a valuable commodity, both itself as a transportable fuel and as a source for derived chemicals, including H2. The direct conversion of methane to methanol has long been one of the “holy grails” of organic chemistry. However, the C−H in CH4 is extremely inert because of the high bond-dissociation energy (105 kcal/mole), so the chemistry is challenging. Accordingly, there has been considerable interest in developing molecular catalysts as well as economic and efficient chemical processes for this conversion. To be practical, the new catalysts or processes must be efficient and able to operate as close to ambient conditions as possible, involve only a small number of steps, and generate minimal waste by-products. There is currently considerable interest in developing chemical catalysts to harness the abundant supply of methane on our planet for various industrial applications. It is proposed to develop tri-copper complexes capable of mediating efficient oxidation of methane to methanol under ambient temperatures and pressures which is a mimic for pMMO enzyme performing the same function.

	Evaluation of Centrally Sponsored Water Supply Scheme under Accelerated Urban Water Supply Programme.
Ministry of Urban Development, Govt. of India, New Delhi formulated Accelerated Urban Water Supply Programme (AUWSP) in September 1994 with the view to provide water supply facilities in the town having population less then 20,000. The principle aim of the programme is to improve the quality of life and environment of the poor, specially the most vulnerable sections of the population such as women, children; and other deprived sections who do not have access to safe water. In the implementation of AUWSP community participation emphasis on rationalization of tariffs, separate of budget for water supply and sanitation from the municipal budget; subsides for well identified target groups and water conservation. Operation, maintanenance (O&M), distribution leak detection and preventive maintenance along with rehabilitation of existing system are being given priority over new capital works. As per progamme the water supply sector has to be treated as public utility rather than a service. Water supply schemes in 575 towns were approved by the Ministry on March 31, 2001. These water supply schemes are to be operated and maintained by the Urban Local Bodies (ULBs). It was decided that out of these AUWSPs, ten percent of the approved schemes, both completed and ongoing, in different States would be evaluated. National Environmental Engineering Research Institute (NEERI), Nagpur is entrusted by Ministry of Urban Development and Poverty Alleviation to evaluate 36 schemes in 15 States. The schemes to be evaluated are depicted in Fig. 1. The schemes were to be assessed to ascertain the present status of implemented schemes, its influence on economic, social and health improvement, along with the status of financial and institutional setup of the ULBs. The assessment of identified water supply schemes include the nature of actually implemented schemes, the problems, constraints, the bottlenecks, if any, in regard to implementation as well as O & M of the schemes. The schemes to be assessed are 3 schemes in State of Chhattisgarh, 9 schemes in Madhya Pradesh, 3 schemes in Maharashtra, Calangute in Goa, 2 schemes in West Bengal, 3 in Orissa and 11 schemes in North Eastern region during March – December, 2004. During field visit, NEERI team visited the raw water source and treatment unit, water distribution points (PSP) of water supply scheme to see the status of water quality and quantity supplied to the consumers. The information regarding the distribution of water, revenue collection, status of the scheme, quality and quantity of water, tariff structure, impact of scheme on socio economic status and health of consumer is collected through pre-designed proformae and discussion with PHED officials.

	Evaluation of Polylectrolyte for Water Treatement
Studies on Performance of Polyelectrolyte Developed by Girijan Co-operative Corporation Ltd., Visakhapatnam from Seeds of Strychnos Potatorum for Treatment of Potable Water The polyelectrolytes have been found to act as coagulants or coagulant aids when used in low dosages. Many of them have been used in water treatment processes to improve floc size and clarification,reduce dosage of the metal coagulant and remove organic colour from raw water.The polyelectrolyte are the polymers which, by the action of an acid or alkali, can be converted into charged ions. The naturally occurring ones were described by Cohen as biocolloids. The feature common to both natural and synthetic colloids is the presence of recurring units containing ionizable groups in the molecule. Depending on the chare of the recurring units the polyelectrolytes have been further classified as cationic, anionic and non-ionic. M/s Girijan Cooperative Corporation Ltd., Visakhapatnam retained the National Environmental Engineering Research Institute, Nagpur to undertake the evaluation of polyelectrolyte manufactured by them from strychnos potatorum as coagulant in water treatment and compares its performance with that of alum. Strychnos potatorum Linn. commonly known as clearing nut or Nirmali seed is a source of natural polyelectrolyte. The coagulating action of the seeds is reported to be due to the combined presence of alkaloids and polysaccharides present in them. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the usefulness of polyelectrolyte manufactured by M/s. GCCL Visakhapatnam from Strychnum potatorum in removal of turbidity, fluoride and coliform group of bacteria form and compare its performance with alum. Spiked Testwater The study have been carried out in spiked test water at different turbidity 100-3400 NTU for reduction in turbidity with polyelectrolyte, alum and in combination of both. It is observed that polyelectrolyte is effective at high turbidity and can be used as coagulant and coagulant aid. The further studies for removal of fluoride and coliform group are in progress.

Pithampur IDA about 45 km from Indore has industries ranging from automobiles, pharmaceutical to textiles. The watersheds of two rivers namely Gambhir and Chambal, constitute the two study areas. The Gambhir and Chambal river have sub-parallel to dendritic drainage pattern. Thin quaternary alluvium consisting of clay, silt, fine to coarse sand, kankar and gravel is restricted to narrow patches along the course of rivers. Deccan trap basaltic rocks of Malwa group of Cretaceous to paleogene age (68-62 m.y) cover the entire area of the district. The region is characterized by lava flows of "pahoehoe" and "Aa" type. Mega-porphyritic flows sit at the top of the formations. The rocks belong to upper-cretaceous to paleogene age. The rocks have only secondary porosity in the form of fractures and joints. The aquifer type is mostly unconfined and semi-confined. The topsoil cover is predominantly clay. Gambhir river watershed covers an area of 90 sq km and industries located in this are mostly from automobile and chemical sector. Chambal river watershed has industries mostly from the automobile, chemical, textiles and pharmaceutical sector and covers approximately 210 sq.km. Apart from the existing industries, the area is going to witness further industrialization with a new Special Economic Zone (SEZ) coming up in the region. Integrated geohydrological, Remote sensing geophysical investigations carried out during last 2 years has helped generation of geohydrologic the database.

	Impact of silt disposal from Beas-Sutlej Link (BSL) project on aquatic life in Sutlej river water
Beas Sutlej Link (BSL) project, the largest hydro-electric-cum-tunnelling project in the country diverts about 4,716 million cubic meter of Beas river water annually from Pandoh dam in District Mandi, HP into the Sutlej river near village Dehar, upstream of Bhakra reservoir, through a 38 km Water Conductor System and generate 990 MW of power. The Environmental Management Plan for silt disposal form the balancing reservoir at Sundernagar was prepared by NEERI in December 2000 delineating the various options for silt disposal and engineering solution to the critical silt handling and enviro-socio-economic relief to improve quality of life in the study area. One of the option acceptable to the expert committee was the disposal of silt to Sutlej river downstream of Dehar Power House through a tunnel to be constructed parallel to the tunnel which carries the Beas water to Dehar Power house. The committee felt that the studies should be undertaken Fig. 1 : Silt Dredging from Sundernagar Balancing Reservoir to assess the impacts of silt disposal on aquatic life in Sutlej river downstream of the disposal point. Accordingly, assessment of the existing status of water quality and aquatic life of Sutlej and Beas rivers, upstream and downstream of BSL project is completed. Impacts of silt disposal in the settling zone of Sutlej river has been estimated based on size and settling velocity of silt particles, water hydrology and morphology of the river. The Physico chemical analysis of Sutlej river water indicates that all the parameters are within the permissible limits of BIS 10500.
	Evaluation of water quality and biodiversity in the submergence area for the proposed Middle Vaitarna Dam
Objective: The Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai (MCGM) has proposed to develop additional source of drinking water supply due to increasing demand of water requirement for the megapolis of Mumbai. The project envisages the development of impoundage through construction of Middle Vaitarna dam to provide 455 MLD of water supply to the city. The raw water conveyance system is proposed from Modak Sagar (Lower Vaitarna dam) through a 7.5 km long tunnel of 3.5 m dia. upto Bel-nalla followed by 3.0 m dia. MS pipeline parallel to the existing pipelines in three parts on municipal land transporting raw water to proposed new Bhandup water treatment plant. The MCGM will execute the various components of this IV Mumbai Water Supply Project. As a result of construction of Middle Vaitarna Dam, approximately 630 ha area of forest will come under submergence. In order to estimate the loss of biodiversity caused due to submergence, it was felt necessary to conduct the study, so that ecosystem restoration programme as per MoEF guidelines can be initiated by the sponsor. Scope: Evaluation of major vegetation in submergence area following quadrant method Application of diversity indices with reference to importance value index (IVI) of the area Ranking the varieties of trees starting from most important to least important species Summary: The major environment components studied during the survey of submergence area at MVD in March 2007 is land and biological environment. The terrestrial component in the proposed Middle Vaitarna dam project indicates that there will not be any appreciable changes as envisaged in the earlier reports on (A) EIA report of Middle Vaitarna Dam (B) Enumeration of trees for IV Mumbai (Middle Vaitarna) water supply project and (C) Catchment Area Treatment Plan. The review of all the reports for protecting the environment due to project activities, the present situation at the project site, the financial allocation for preservation of environment reveals that the project may be taken up for implementation. The environmental management plan suggested in the comprehensive EIA report and the requirements of forest department may scrupulously be followed to maximize the overall benefits apart from additional water supply need for the mega city of Mumbai.
	CSIR Networked Programme on Pollution Monitoring Mitigation Systems and Devices (SMM-05)
In CSIR Networked Programme (SMM-05) one of the component is estimation of assimilative capacity of environmental media (air, water, land and biological), which has to be dealt by NEERI in three regions viz. Central India – Nagpur (M.S.) and Chhindwara (M.P.) districts, Coastal region - Visakhapatnam district (A.P.) and Hilly region - Mandi and Bilaspur districts (H.P.). The aims of the study are to develop the methodology for estimation of assimilative capacity with respect to various pollutants under different management options and development scenario; and delineation of assimilative capacity based standards for water sources for sustainable development. A meso-scale database on assimilative capacity of environmental media (air, water, land and biological) is essential for understanding the status of environment and for developing environmental quality standards, which will help easy and transparent decision making at policy, plan and project levels. A database for three representative regions would be generated, which would be available in public domain. Water quality analyses of major water resources of the two regions viz. Central India and Coastal region were carried out during post-monsoon as well as critical seasons. The analytical results showed that majority of water resources fall within the permissible limits of drinking water standards except coliform bacterial counts. It is observed that the water resources are suitable for irrigation purpose with few exceptions. Spatial variation in surface and groundwater quality was observed depending upon geological strata, pollution load by point and non-point sources and local ongoing practices in catchment area. The problem is aggravated in critical season, as pollution and chemical ingredients get concentrated in small amount of water resources. This calls for proper catchment area treatment strategies for surface water resources and conservation and protection of groundwater resources from being polluted. Using these resources for drinking purpose require proper water treatment with disinfection, whereas for irrigation purpose it requires adoption of proper irrigation methods and scheduling of irrigation in order to prevent water logging and salinity problems of land resources. Pollutants assimilative capacity of soils varies depending upon their intrinsic properties. One of the components in this project is Lysimetric study for Soil - Wastewater interaction. These studies will help in determining horizon wise pollutant retention capacity of soil, which will entail about quantum of groundwater pollution at wastewater application sites vis-à-vis soil pollution.

	Application of bacteriophage for treating multidrug resistant (MDR) Pseudomonas aeruginosa (GAP-01-2066)
"The main goal of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of phage therapy against one of the most common multidrug-resistant (MDR) agents of skin infections, Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The bacteriophage therapy is an effective antimicrobial approach with potentially important applications in medicine and biotechnology which can be seen as an additional string in the bow. Emerging drug resistant bacteria in aquaculture industry due to unrestricted use of antibiotics warrants more sustainable and environmental friendly strategies for controlling fish infections.The isolated bacteria from fish lesions was characterised based on isolation on selective and differential medium like Pseudomonas agar, gram staining, biochemical tests and 16SrRNA sequencing. The metallo-beta-lactamase (MBL) producing bacterial isolate was evaluated using Imipenem - Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) disk method. The specific bacteriophage was isolated and concentrated using coal bed developed in our lab at CSIR-NEERI. The isolated and enriched bacteriophage was characterised by nucleotide sequencing and electron microscopy. The phage therapy was applied for treating ulcerative lesion in fish. RESULTS:The pathogenic bacterium responsible for causing ulcerative lesions in catfish species (Clarias gariepinus) was identified as Pseudomonas aeruginosa. One out of twenty P. aeruginosa isolate showing multi drug resistance (MDR) was incidentally found to be MBL producing as determined by Imipenem-EDTA disk method. The phage therapy effectively cured the ulcerative lesions of the infected fish in 8-10 days of treatment, with a sevenfold reduction of the lesion with untreated infection control. "

The main objective of this project is to evaluate the materials developed at CSIR-NEERI for selective removal of fluoride from process wastewater generated from BARC process with a view to explore the possibility of developing a practically feasible process for defluoridation of wastewater. The materials will be systematically evaluated by studying their fluoride uptake properties for simulated wastewater following batch adsorption as well as column studies. The select materials will be subsequently evaluated at laboratory scale at BARC using the actual process effluent. The proposed work was carried out in following two Phases: Phase I: In the Phase-I, synthesis of materials and study of batch adsorption properties will be carried out at CSIR-NEERI laboratory using simulated wastewater as per the composition suggested by BARC. These studies will be carried out with up to material loading of 25 g for batch and column studies as per the work plan given in the following section. Phase II: Based on the results of Phase-I project; the select potential materials will be studied for bench scale and further scale up at BARC, using the actual wastewater. These studies will be targeted on evaluating the techno-economic feasibility of defluoridation process at pilot as well as full scale.

	Transcriptomic and proteomic analysis of Pteris vittata during phytoremediation of arsenic metal contaminated soil
It is proven reports that microbes and plants are capable to uptake heavy metals of toxic in nature even though it is not demanding for primary metabolism of these organisms. Both microbes and plants are when comes together in synergism might increase the metal uptake rate and becomes hyper accumulator. If, so, then there must be a crosstalk via chemical and molecular signatures such as RNA transcripts and proteins between the soil, microbes and plants, which needs to be identified and characterized for understanding the mechanism of hyper accumulation of metal ions during phytoremedition. Objectives: Growing plants in arsenic contaminated and control soil and analysis of metal uptake Isolation of proteins and transcriptomes expressed during symbiotic association. Functional characterization of isolated transcriptomes.

	Use of Urban and Industrial Wastewater for Crop Production
Aims and Objectives: Highlight the harmful / deleterious constituents in the waste water Give treatment for elimination of these constituents Recycle / reuse the waste water for biomass production Scope of Work: Assessment and characterization of w/w for its suitability to use for agro-recycling Effective & appropriate management of w/w as a source of irrigation water Improvement in the efficiencies of w/w for their nutrient potential Evaluation of bio-remedial techniques for increasing the efficacy of w/w utilization Cost effective assessment of w/w irrigation practices Human resource development to promote the recycling and reuse of w/w for sustainable agro – ecosystem. Summary: Land application of domestic wastewater has been adopted as one of the methods of wastewater treatment and disposal. Besides irrigation, it offers an alternative for the resource recovery from wastewater in the form of plant nutrients and water reuse through agriculture. Land application provides primary, secondary and tertiary treatment to the waste, all in a single operation with recycling and reuse benefits of water and nutrients for biomass production besides preventing the pollution of streams and lakes. Survey and periodic sampling of urban and industrial wastewater for physico-chemical and biological considerations: Site Details The project scheme is being operated at following sites Urban sewage/ wastewater Sugar industry (agro-based activity) Paper & pulp industry Distillery Industry in Tamil Nadu (proposed) Characteristics of Urban wastewater As per the objective of the project, urban wastewater was monitored in the city of Nagpur at three strategic locations from where the wastewater is being reused for irrigation purposes. Nag river, which originates in the lake Ambazari, flows through the Nagpur city and carries the water from all the domestic as well as industrial sources in the city. Thus, today the river is turned into a wastewater carrying drain. Characteristically, only the part of city wastewater is treated in the sewage treatment plant and the treated wastewater is again discharged in the flowing drain. Out of these three sites, site receives the treated wastewater from the sewage pumping station while the other two sites are as good as for untreated wastewater. Site for urban sewage/ wastewater is selected about 12 km from the NEERI where wastewater from river Nag is available and used for irrigation purpose. The wastewater from Nagpur City is treated partially at Bhandewadi Sewage Pumping Station and disposed in the river Nag. It further flows to the experimental site at village Bharatwada about approx. 20 km from Nagpur. The wastewater characterization details in different seasons indicate that the concentration of pollutants are at lower profile in monsoon season due to dilution effect and high in summer. Sewage water is rich in nitrate and phosphate and are conducive for biomass production. However, the chlorides and sulphates in the sewage are also high indicating the anthropogenic influence. Seasonal heavy metal contents in sewage used for irrigation were monitored. It is observed that in general the concentrations are high in winter and summer seasons than the monsoon. Of all the heavy metals, the Ni contents are exceeding the permissible limits in all the seasons except monsoon. Cost effective assessment of wastewater irrigation practice using urban wastewater indicated that there is 2-3 fold increase in yield with respect to paddy and wheat. For chilli crop, the increase ranges from 8-10 fold. Cultivating aromatic plants is a new perspective, which is highly profitable when urban effluents are used for irrigation.
	To study the Quantum Particulate Dispersion from Mining Activity and its Effects on Plant at Chandrapur
Aims and Objectives: Assess the particulate dispersion from the mining and related activities Study the effect of dust deposition on nearby plants/crops Recommend mitigation options to control productivity losses Scope of Work: The proposed study area will be the WCL Mining area in Chandrapur District. The studies will span over a year comprising of three seasons namely winter, summer and monsoon. The study fields will be identified for crops as well as forest trees at strategic distances from the transport activities say 5 m ( adjacent to road side ), 100m, 200m, 300m Depositional rate of aerosols will be monitored manually in the field as well as from modeling exercises using software package Evaluation of particle deposition on leaf surface Morphological and physiological alternations (visible and invisible) will be assessed on seasonal basis in the crops • Overall growth of the crop plants on yield basis and on carbon will be computed Mitigation options to control productivity losses will be suggested in the final report Socio-economic assessment of the study area will be carried out by third party Non-Government Organization Two Workshops, one at the start of the project and other at the completion of the project `will be organized Summary: During mining operations the particles are emitted in various operations like excavations, blasting and also during the transport of the mined products. Also, mining activity generates large quantities of over burden which is nothing but the loose earth material excavated and deposited in upside down position. This loosened material is also prone to be wind blown and disperse in the atmosphere. Considering the gravity of the problem, Western Coal Fields Ltd., Nagpur has retained National Environmental Engineering Research Institute (NEERI), Nagpur to study the quantum of particulate dispersion from mining activity and its effect on plants. Assessment of impact of transportation on standing vegetation on Hadasti Ghat Route and Visapur Ghat Route was undertaken for Rabbi & Kharip crops. The crops selected for the study were: Jowar - Sorghum vulgare Tur - Cajanas cajan Chilli - Capsicum annuum Cotton - Gossypium hirsutum Hadasti Ghat Roue is currently under operation for sand transportation while Visapur and Seoni Ghat Routes are closed for sand transportation. Samples were collected at strategic distances from the Ghats i.e. Wardha river bank as starting point up to the jurisdiction of WCL area. At each location, the samples were collected at a 5, 100, 200, 300 meter distances from the edge of the road and coded as A, B, C, and D respectively The results of the study indicate that The Dust dispersion in the ambient air due to sand transport is higher in the study area than the no activity zone The particulate concentration is higher in summer season (maximum value of 16.2 MT/km2 / month at Charwat village) than the winter season Water soluble fraction of the dust is negligible and the chemical composition of dust is harmless, innocuous as there is no component in the dust which is hazardous to plant growth The dust deposition on the leaf surfaces of crops in Hadsti Ghat route is more than the Visapur Ghat route which is not in operation during study period The morphological analyses of the crop plants : Jowar, Tur, Cotton and Chilli indicate that there is no correlation in the morphological parameters and dust deposition on the leaf surfaces The dust deposition is more on the leaves of crops which are at the edge of the road (5 m from road side) than 100 and 200 m distances respectively The particle size distribution indicates that the 60 % of the road dust is of >100 micron size i.e. does not remain suspended in the air over a long period and settle down under gravitational force nearer to the source The dust collected in the jar has 86 % of the particles in the range of >100 micron size while 45 % of dust particles deposited on the leaf surface are in the range of > 51 to < 100 micron size The soil analysis shows that the soils are poor in nutrient value (available N,P,K) There is poor irrigation facility in the study area due to which the crops on Visapur Ghat road which is not in operation during study period show low yields than the Hadasti Ghat route The farmers are not managing the fields according to the standard agricultural practices which is evident from poor irrigation facility and application of inadequate organic and synthetic fertilizers which seems to be the prime cause of low yields in the region.

	Impact of on-site sanitation systems on the quality of ground and surface water sources
To assess the impact of on-site sanitation systems on surface and groundwater quality in the selected project areas through estimation of bacteriological, physical and chemical water quality parameters To suggest corrective and remedial measures for prevention of contamination of water resources in case of positive evidence of contamination of water sources To develop guidelines for prevention and mitigation of ground and surface water contamination in and around project areas To evaluate the performance of Shankar-Balram type low cost sanitary latrines and to recommend their suitability for adoption in different parts of the country. Scope of Work: The states to be covered are : Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh and West Bengal Identification of towns and cities from each of the above mentioned States based on local problems and short term analysis in consultation with the concerned State Government, Local body and CPHEEO Collection of information of water quality pertaining to each study area, before and after implementation of on-site sanitation systems, if available with local authorities, for comparison of the data generated through field study during project activities and assessment of impact Collection of data on soil characteristics through secondary sources in the project areas Monitoring of pollution indicator parameters, compilation and analysis of data on impact of on-site sanitation systems on water quality Establish a safe distance between on-site sanitation systems and ground water supply installation/source Identification of other possible sources of pollution, e.g. open defecation, sewerage, drainage, refused dumps leaching, open or unprotected wells, agricultural practices, e.g. application of fertilizers or nightsoil manure Delineation of sound guidelines, recommendations and action plan for monitoring, mitigation and remedial measures keeping in view aesthetics, health, environmental and economic criteria Summary: The Government of India recommended a comprehensive study for prevention of contamination of water sources and to suggest corrective and remedial measures. The CPHEEO, Ministry of Urban Development, Government of India has retained NEERI to carry out study on impact of on-site sanitation systems on the quality of ground and surface water sources in ten selected cities. The project commenced with reconnaissance survey. Sampling and analysis have been carried out for all the sites selected in the ten cities for the four seasons. The analysis reveals that contamination of the ground water samples is significant in regions having secondary porosity. This scenario is present in Bhopal and Indore. In contrast, in cities like Kolkata and Lucknow, where there is alluvial cover, ground water samples located close to the on-site sanitation systems are least contaminated. The findings leave scope for further studies in respect of movement of contaminants in the unsaturated zone. There is need for a comprehensive study to investigate the movement of contaminants by high resolution geophysical imaging techniques.
	2nd Maharashtra Water Supply and Sanitation Project - Water Quality Assessment
To determine water quality of representative samples of dug/bore wells and public supplies of drinking water, mainly in the GPs selected for study To find possible correlation between the pollutants and factors influencing their appearance in the water supplies and To identify sources of pollution and suggest mitigation measures as deemed necessary to contain the level of contamination Scope of Work: Reconnaissance survey of identified villages for selection of sampling locations and collection of secondary data on water supply, agricultural practices, health and social aspects etc. Collection of a total about 300 representative samples from traditional water sources as well as taps in public water supply schemes from selected 20 villages of five districts based on the following criteria : Open dug wells in the agricultural field Open dug wells in the household backyard and at public places Bore wells with hand pumps Water at treatment plant (before and after treatment) Water at collection points (MWS & PWS) Tap water at households / schools / health centers / market place etc. Water stored in households Summary: The chemical water quality problems in study villages are excess fluoride, iron, nitrate, TDS and hardness The individual pesticide levels in the samples are within the WHO guideline values regulated for drinking water The bacteriological analysis results indicate that 81% of the sources are positive for total coliform and out of this, 86% samples are positive for faecal coliform and 76% sources are positive for faecal streptococci. Not only the dug wells and surface water sources, but many hand pumps and bore wells are also bacteriologically contaminated The bacterial contamination of water sources may be attributed to poor sanitary condition around water sources, improper drainage facilities near hand pumps and bore wells and location of other pollution sources like cattle shed, latrine soak pit near water sources There is significant increase in bacterial contamination between collection at water sources and eventual use which may be attributed to unhygienic personal habits of the villagers
	Study of Arsenic Contamination in the Groundwater of Chowki Block
The Public Health Engineering Department, Rajnandgaon Division, Madhya Pradesh retained the Institute in May 1999, to undertake the study of arsenic contaminatioin in the ground waters of Chowki Block in District Rajnandgaon. A team of scientists from the Institute visited 154 villages of Chowki Block and collected 813 water samples from hand pumps and dug wells. These water samples were analysed for arsenic and some other physico-chemical parameters (pH, conductivity, alkalinity, iron, and manganese). The analysis of arsenic was done by the Hydride Generation – Inductively Coupled Plasma (HG-ICP) spectroscopic method developed at the Institute. Out of total 813 water sources analysed, it was observed that 45 water sources in 11 villages contained arsenic above 50 μg/L, the BIS limit for arsenic in drinking water, the highest concentration being 1890 μg/L (or 1.89 mg/L). There are 129 sources which contained arsenic in the range 10 to 48 μg/L. The WHO Provisional Guideline Value for arsenic in drinking water is 10 μg/L. Thus, considering the Indian Standard specifications of BIS 10500 : 1991 there are 45 sources in the Chowki Block which exceed the limit for arsenic in drinking water, whereas there are 174 sources which exceed the limit of arsenic as per the Provisional Guideline Value of WHO. There are 122 sources in which arsenic values ranged between 2 to 9 μg/L. Remaining 157 sources showed arsenic Below Detectable Limit (BDL); the detectable limit for arsenic with HG-ICP method being 2 μg/L. Available technological options for providing arsenic free water are described in the report and recommendations have been made for future course of action.
	Water Quality Assessment of Sources for Organised Rural Water Supply in Yavatmal District in the State of Maharashtra
Necessity of the Study The Government of India has emphasized the objective of safe water supply to the population and desired that Maharashtra State Government to undertake water quality assessment of all the ground water sources used for public water supply schemes. Recently, it was observed that in some of the development blocks of Yavatmal district, drinking water sources have excessive fluoride, iron, nitrate and salinity. The State government had taken the cognizance of the problem and an immediate action was taken for the corrective measures through water quality assessment of all the ground water sources for organised drinking water supply in the Yavatmal district. The water supply and Sanitation Department, Govt. of Maharashtra retained NEERI to carry out this work in February 2001. Water samples were collected from 1844 villages and hamlets from 16 talukas of the district. An average of 200 water samples were received at NEERI every day and were analyzed on the same day for the parameters of health significance viz. fluoride, iron, brackishness, nitrate and arsenic. The source specific information for above parameters is generated that acts as a hand on information for the drinking water sources and may protect the people from further impairment of the health. The work is an important resource for decision makers, administrators, water supply engineers and health professionals in Yavatmal district for design and implementation of safe rural water supply schemes. The work may also crossover the boundaries of Maharashtra and may other States and developing Nations will be benefited in their endeavor to provide safe drinking water to their people. Map of Yavatmal District Map Showing Location of Yavatmal District In Maharashtra Objectives The main objective of the project was the assessment of water quality of identified sources for organised rural water supply. The design and construction of which was supported with high degree of enthusiasm and encouragement right from inception. Senior officers of Government of Maharashtra had detailed discussion with Director and senior scientists of NEERI to undertake the assessment of water quality and aim, objectives and modalities were formulated jointly. Water Quality Analysis An average of 200 water samples was received at NEERI every day and was analysed on the same day. The first lot of water samples was received on February 12, 2001 and samples were delivered upto April 30, 2001. As planned the schedule time for analyzing 9389 water samples was 60 working days, however, the task was completed fairly within the target period in 48 working days. A team of 30 scientists had participated in water quality analysis. Results Water Quality Data The samples were collected from 9389 sources in 1840 villages of 16 talukas of Yavatmal district and pertained to the sources categories - hand pumps (3702), open dug wells (4739), regional piped water supply schemes (275) and other piped water supply schemes (673). Sources with concentrations more than the desirable limits of TDS, fluoride, iron and nitrate can be accepted for public water supply in absence of alternate sources provided the concentration of the above parameters are within the permissible limit, viz. TDS ≤ 2000 mg/L, fluoride ≤ 1.5 mg/L, iron ≤ 1.0 mg/L and nitrate ≤ 100 mg/L. There are 5730 sources under this category. Sources exceeding the permissible limit of all the four parameters, viz. TDS > 2000 mg/L, fluoride > 1.5 mg/L, iron > 1.0 mg/L and nitrate > 100 mg/L should be discarded as per BIS specifications as far as drinking water supply is concerned. There is only one such source in Yavatmal district.
	Groundwater Modelling around Kovaya Limestone Mine, Gujarat Cement works, Amreli District, Gujarat
The present study deals with geophysical and groundwater modeling in the watershed covering the Ultra Tech Cement plant of the Gujarat Cement Works (GCW), which is located at Kovaya in Amreli District, Gujarat. NEERI was retained by Central Mining Research Institute CMRI (Nagpur Zonal Centre) to undertake this task. The study area is based on the concept of watershed. The Ridge on the west, the Dhatarwadi River on the east and the Arabian Sea on the south form the boundaries of the watershed. It is bounded by latitudes 20.86o to 21.00o and longitudes 71.39o to 71.49o. The study area covers all the five villages namely Kovaya, Bhakodar, Babarkot, Varaswarup and Vand, which are covered in the lease area of the GCW. The study area includes Pit1 and Pit 2, where mining operation is going on at present. Resistivity Image profiling has been undertaken in selected profiles at representative locations to examine the signatures of seawater intrusion. Groundwater Modelling has been implemented in the study area using the Visual MODFLOW Professional software (Version 4.1). Summary of the resistivity survey: The groundwater analysis indicates very high values of TDS, Chloride and Sodium in the observation wells in the study area. The high values of chloride and TDS can be on account of intrusion of seawater. The resistivity imaging studies also indicate very low resistivity anomalies (0-3 ohm- m) in certain profiles. The distribution of this low resistivity anomaly is not simple and it is distributed in a complex form. It exhibits a diffused form. The depth of the very low resistivity zone varied from 4 m to 13 m in different profiles. The very low resistivity zone is more prominent in Kovaya School and Power plant site. At Pit 1, the very low resistivity zone (0-3 ohm m) starts from approximately 8m depth. The profile at Vand shows very low resistivity anomalies at depth more than 10 m.

	Study on surveillance of drinking water quality in selected cities / towns in India.
Preamble Out of all the physical environments of man, water influences human health very prominently and significantly. Furthermore the impact of water on human health are both direct and indirect. The direct impacts of water on health are derived from the quality of water consumed and the indirect impacts pertain to the quantity used for personal, domestic and household hygiene. The general observation of the international agencies is that the impact on health caused by the poor water supply is felt the most by the urban-poor as they typically lack access to services at levels which promote good health, often use water supplies of lower quality and commonly pay more per unit volume. The low-income communities are supposed to be at the greatest risk from water-related diseases. Surveillance of drinking water quality, SDWQ, is conceptualized as an organised programme to protect public health through the identification of inadequacies and by promoting timely implementation of action to control risks in supply of adequate quantity of water of desirable quality at affordable cost. A focus on any single issue will not be adequate to provide the information and practices essential to protect public health through safe water supply. Surveillance of drinking water quality may be defined as "the continuous and vigilant public health assessment and overview of the safety and acceptability of drinking water supplies". Necessity of Water Quality and Surveillance Programme The impact on health caused by poor water supply is felt enormously by the urban economically weaker section of the society and hence warrants the need for surveillance programmes to focus mainly on the weaker group of the society. Water quality is a key factor in promoting good health as water may contain disease-causing microorganisms (pathogens) or chemicals that are toxic. The principal concern is microbiological quality of water and more particularly so when pathogens derived from faeces are found in the water. Such pathogens cause a number of diseases, often affecting very large number of people over a short period of time. Many of these diseases, such as cholera, typhoid and dysentery may cause severe symptoms in patients and in some cases are fatal. Small children in particular are often vulnerable to diseases caused by such pathogens as reflected in high infant mortality and morbidity rates in many developing countries. A detailed physico-chemical analysis followed by systematic monitoring of microbiological quality should be performed before any water source is used for supply to the community. This is not the direct responsibility of the surveillance agency, but it should be ensured and the results, should be reviewed. In few of the above, Central Public Health and Environmental Engineering Organisation, Government of India retained the National Environmental Engineering Research Institute (NEERI) to carryout, "Study on Surveillance of Drinking Water Quality in 25 Selected Cities/Towns in India".

	Assessment of Status of Water Quality testing Laboratories
There are number of water quality testing laboratories located with different agencies at different places within the country but not many people know about them and the capabilities are rather unknown. Even the departments within the system are not always aware of the strength and weaknesses of their laboratories. It was also observed that not all laboratories are optimally utilized. Keeping these issues in view it is planned to develop a directory of water quality testing laboratories. The list will include laboratories available with Public Health Engineering Departments, Water Boards, Ground Water Boards & Pollution Control Boards both at center and at state level, Food laboratories at center and state level, CSIR laboratories and laboratories available with Health Department at state and district level and ICMR institutions and Engineering Colleges.
