Foreword
The
Dilli-Disang is a tributary to the mighty river Brahmaputra. The industrial
activities in the Namrup area in Sibsagar district are causing pollutional
stress on the Dilli-Disang. The Central Board through the Assam State
Pollution Control Board has been pursuading the industries to control
the pollution and its origin.
The present compilation is the first attempt to inventorise the pollution
potential and relevant sub-basin-wise characteristics of the Dilli-
Disang. This would help in compiling information on the entire Brahma-
putra river basin.
The basic report was prepared by Shri M.K. Sharma of Assam State Pollution
Control Board as one of the jour projects funded by the Central |
