| Groundwater
Quality in Problem Areas - A Status Report (Part-V) |
| Foreword
Hitherto, the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) has been mostly involved
in surface water quality monitoring. The first major assignment in Groundwater
Quality Monitoring was undertaken by CPCB in January, 1994 through a special grant
provided by the Ministry of Environment & Forests, Govt. of India.
The
present report covers the groundwater survey conducted by Orissa Lift Irrigation
Corporation, Bhubaneshwar in assessing the contamination of groundwater resources
arising out of industrial activities in the Angul-Talcher. area in Orissa. The
finding and recommendations pertain to the data collected during the period April
1994 to May 1995.
The project was co-ordinated by my colleague Smt.
