Yamuna river cleaner due to lockdown’

The Yamuna  also known as the Jumna or Jamna, is the second largest tributary river of the gangas (Ganga) and the longest tributary in india . Originating from the yamunotri Glacier at a height of 6,387 metres (20,955 ft) on the southwestern slopes of banderpooch  peaks of the lower himalaya in uttrakhand,  it travels a total length of 1,376 kilometres (855 mi) and has a drainage system of 366,223 square kilometres.It merges with the Ganges at triveni Sangam, prayagraj, which is a site of the kumbh mela, a hindu festival held every 12 years.
Cleaning of Yamuna River

Cleaning of Yamuna is also part of the Namami Gange Mission and Government of India has been supplementing the efforts of the States for checking the rising level of pollution of river Yamuna, a tributary of River Ganga, by providing financial assistance to States of Haryana, Delhi and Uttar Pradesh in phased manner since 1993 under the Yamuna Action Plan (YAP)Cleaning of Yamuna River - PIB. The total expenditure incurred on conservation of river Yamuna under the YAP Phase – I & II is Rs. 1514.70 crore.
Under National River Conservation Plan (NRCP), till 31.07.2014 an amount of Rs. 18.05 crore was sanctioned for pollution abatement of river Shipra in Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh and STP capacity of 55.46 Mld (Million Litres per Day) has been created. No projects so far have been sanctioned under Namami Gange for Shipra River. Further an amount of Rs.427.66 Crs have been released for projects under Namami Gange.



Cleaning of river is a continuous process and Government of India has so far, sanctioned a total of 17 projects for Yamuna river under Namami Gange at an estimated cost of Rs. 3941.73 crore, for creation and rehabilitation of STP capacity of approx. 1772 MLD. The breakup of these projects are as per:
  • Delhi: 11 projects - Rs.2361.08crore
  • UP: 3 projects - Rs.1347.5 crore
  • Haryana: 2 projects - Rs.217.87 crore
  • Himachal Pradesh: 1 projects - Rs.15.07crore
Covid-19 pandemic: water in Yamuna river look cleaner as industries remain shut due to lockdown.
The quality of water in the Delhi stretch of the Yamuna has increased due to “complete reduction in industrial pollutants” in the river during the COVID-19 lockdown.
A recent analysis of the Yamuna river and drains falling into it by the delhi pollution control committee (DPCC) has shown an improvement in water quality. In its report to the Yamuna monitoring committee, DPCC stated that yamuna's biological oxygen demand (BOD) levels have improved by up to 33per cent.
The committee compared the reading from this month to those from april 2019 to study improvement in yamuna's water quality during the corona virus lockdown.
DPCC attributed the improvement to more water being released into the river and reduced industrial activity, after studying nime points and 20 individual drains.

Before and after yamuna river
Delhi Jal Board (DJB) Vice-Chairman Raghav Chaddha recently said there was an improvement in water quality due to a dip in industrial pollutants being discharged into the river.
It seems like the lockdown in the wake of pandemic coronavirus is healing the ecosystem. After ganga river, the water quality of Yamuna river has also improved.
Due to the lockdown air and water quality are improving. Also the Ganga river water quality are improve. https://myeconews0.blogspot.com

Ganga river is cleaned between lockdown

Ganga river:- The Ganges, or Ganga, is a trans-boundary river of Asia which flows through India and Bangladesh. The 2,601 km river rises in the western Himalayas in the Indian state of Uttarakhand, and flows south and east through the Gangetic Plain of India and Bangladesh, eventually emptying into the Bay of Bengal.   The Ganges is one India's holiest and also most-polluted rivers. Millions live on its banks across several states. It's widely considered as a lifeline for many Indians. But it has become severely polluted in the past few decades - industrial effluent is regularly emptied into the waters, as is waste from the millions of people who live alongside its banks. The government has spent millions of dollars to clean up the river, but with very little success. But the lockdown meant to curb the spread of the coronavirus appears to have helped. Before lockdown After lockdown National Mission for Clean Ganga(NMCG)  was registered...
