Krishnan [h=2]NGT asks Chief Secretaries of two govts to meet on Feb 20[/h] The National Green Tribunal (NGT) on Friday directed the governments of Delhi and Haryana to convene a meeting and resolve the matter pertaining to polluted water, which is allegedly being provided by the Haryana government to the Capital. A Bench headed by judicial member Jawad Rahim directed the chief secretaries of the two governments to meet on February 20 and settle the issue after the Delhi Jal Board (DJB) had moved an application in the tribunal. The DJB had alleged that the water that was being supplied by the Haryana government had high ammonia content to the extent that the water could not be treated and supplied as drinking water to the people in the national capital. The green panel passed the directions after both the authorities agreed to an amicable settlement. During the hearing, the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) informed the court that the ammonia content at the Hathnikund Barrage in Haryana was 0.6 mg per litre, and 1.9 mg per litre at the Wazirabad water treatment plant in New Delhi, as on February 14. The NGT, on February 13 had directed the apex pollution monitoring body to collect water samples from four locations, including Tanjewala in Haryana, Wazirabad water treatment plant, and the ITO and Okhla Barrage in Delhi, to ascertain the level of ammonia content in the water. The DJB had claimed that while at the source point in Haryana, the ammonia content in the water was negligible, the source point in Delhi saw high levels of ammonia. The petition had alleged that the primary cause of pollution appeared to be the addition of untreated domestic and industrial waste in some areas, including Panipat and Sonipat. [B]'Unsafe water[/B] In its petition, the DJB claimed: "There is unsafe levels of ammonia in the water. The colour of the water being received from Haryana is blackish in colour and has a foul smell."

[B]Delhi's water woes continue[/B] [B]On Friday, the NGT bench asked chief secretaries of both states to meet on February 20 and find a resolution[/B] By: [URL="http://indianexpress.com/agency/express-news-service/"]Express News Service[/URL] | New Delhi | Published: February 17, 2018 5:16 am [IMG]http://images.indianexpress.com/2018/02/ammonia-759.jpg[/IMG] Since December 31, ammonia levels in raw water supply have varied between 0.9-2.6 parts per million. Tashi Tobgyal Forty-seven days and counting — this is the longest spell in recent years where ammonia levels in raw water supply from the Yamuna have stayed above the permissible limit. This has led to reduction in potable water production in the capital by over 30%, officials said. Stating that water released by the Haryana government had "dangerous levels of ammonia" — making it so polluted that it could not be treated for drinking — the Delhi Jal Board filed a plea in the National Green Tribunal. On Friday, the NGT bench asked chief secretaries of both states to meet on February 20 and find a resolution. The bench, headed by Justice Jawad Rahim, also asked them to submit a report on the meeting on February 21. The next hearing is on February 22. Since December 31, ammonia levels in raw water supply have varied between 0.9 ppm (parts per million) and 2.6 ppm — the acceptable limit is 0.5 ppm. "Today, the ammonia level was 1.6 ppm; yesterday it was 1 ppm. It has increased to as high as 2.6 ppm in the last month," an official said. If it increases to 0.9 ppm and beyond, the DJB said operation of raw water has to be suspended. This is because ammonia, along with the treating agent chlorine, forms Trihalomethane which is carcinogenic in nature. "Water production at three WTPs — Chandrawal, Wazirabad and Haiderpur — has decreased by 30-40% since January 1. This situation is witnessed every year. As per an SC order in 1994, the Haryana government is supposed to release water so that the level at the Wazirabad pond is maintained at 674.5 feet. It has now reduced to 672.2 feet. Earlier, when pollutant levels in raw water supply increased, Haryana would release water to maintain that level. It did not do so this time. Earlier, the issue would be resolved within 3-4 days. The problem hasn't persisted for so long," the official said.

[h=1]IIT Delhi starts research centre on air pollution[/h] [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/toireporter/author-Krittika-Sharma-479247411.cms"]Krittika Sharma[/URL]| TNN | Feb 16, 2018, 21:34 IST [IMG]https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/thumb/msid-62951731,width-400,resizemode-4/62951731.jpg[/IMG] NEW DELHI: The [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Indian-Institute-of-Technology--Delhi"]Indian Institute of Technology - Delhi[/URL] has set up a centre to study and research air pollution issues in Delhi and the [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/NCR"]NCR[/URL]. The objective is to promote scientific research and provide solutions to the air pollution problem. At the Center of Excellence for Research on Clean Air (CERCA), the IIT Delhi faculty will be able to take up multidisciplinary research projects on air pollution and eventually provide feedback to policymakers of effectiveness of pollution management programs. Besides this, the center will also help facilitate collaborations with the industry on clear air equipment and emission reduction initiatives. In the first phase, the research will focus on assessment and prediction of air quality, while also studying pollution reduction programs, governance and its issues in other countries like China, US, UK, Japan and [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/South-Korea"]South Korea[/URL]. The center was inaugurated on Friday by [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Delhi-Lt"]Delhi Lt[/URL] Governor [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Anil-Baijal"]Anil Baijal[/URL], who is also an alumnus of the institution. "I am hopeful that the Center will help in finding solutions to the mounds of garbage at the landfill sites of Delhi, enumerate viable tech solution for zero waste in a decentralized manner and management of silt that gets segregated from the silt waste," he said. This is the fourth center to have started in a few months. A total of 15 research proposals had been received of which four were shortlisted.
