    Hindon River, Submitted by: Ronit Kr Gautam

    Ghaziabad 2020MEP021

    Salient Features
    The Hindon River is a tributary of the Yamuna River and originates in the Saharanpur district and flows across the
    industrial belt of Western Uttar Pradesh before discharging into the Yamuna River in Noida.
    Due to urban, agricultural, and industrial waste which is being released without sufficient treatment into its waters, the
    Hindon is now one of the most polluted stretches in the Ganga basin.
    Considering the severity of the Hindon river, govt decided to rejuvenate the river in May 2015 by having a participatory
    approach on multistakeholder levels.

    Current Scenario
    There are many sources of the pollution discharged into
    the Hindon River and its tributaries Kali (west) & Krishni
    which form an entirely rain-fed water resources system.
    The river system is receiving industrial and municipal
    untreated waste water which is being discharged directly
    or via drains into the river.
    Apart from the urban and industrial point source
    pollution, agri-chemical run-off from the fields is
    contributing to the water quality problems as non-point
    source pollution
    Participatory Approach and Ongoing
     Projects
    Civil society: They have documented the state of the river basin through reports, scientific research, videos etc. They also initiated awareness
    campaigns and environmental education programs for children and youth in schools on the need for water conservation and pollution abatement.
     State Government : Proposals have been made by officers of the Irrigation Department for additional water recharge structures, rubber dams and
    other structural measures to be put in place to increase water availability and environmental flow in the basin. On the water quality side, a rapid
    assessment study is planned and the State Pollution Control Board is considering a comprehensive monitoring and information system, which will
    support evidence-based decision making on cost-effective measures and track progress made to rejuvenate the river in the long term.
     Local industry: Paper mill owners have taken the lead in taking responsibility for pollution abatement in the Hindon basin and they are keen to show the results of
    their investments on the reduced water intake (recycling) and improved water quality outflow of their plants.
