Urbanisation and Environmental Degradation: A Geographical Perspective on Yamuna River Pollution in NCT Delhi

Author(s) Siddhant Patel, Dr. Bhartendu Gautam
Country India
Abstract The Yamuna flowing into the National Capital Territory (NCT) of Delhi is a typical case of river degradation caused by sewage, untreated/partially treated effluents discharge, poor environmental flow, and poor enforcement. The current research paper synthesizes and analyses recent technical reports of river Yamuna: (1) to quantify the water-quality issue (DO, BOD, FO (faecal coliform) and other indicators) at inter-state entry/exit point and in major drains; (2) to study the role of environmental flow and drain tapping; and (3) to offer prioritized, actionable interventions to improve the situation in the short and medium term.
Significant study results include; DO ( Dissolve Oxygen ) is sufficient at the point of entry (Palla) but declines to near zero at the point of drainage (Asgarpur), BOD and faecal coliforms are orders of magnitude higher than bathing and environmental standards at most of the sites in NCT, and few drains (particularly Najafgarh, Shahdara and Barapullah) hold the bulk of the pollutant load. We recommend a progressive programme of controlling pollution of the river Yamuna at Delhi NCT.
Keywords Yamuna, river pollution, NCT Delhi, BOD, DO, Faecal Coliform, STP compliance, drains, environmental flow.
