The
Board assistscthe CPCB (Central
Pollution Control Board) in implementing the GEMS (Global Environmental
Monitoring System) project. The scope of this project includes an assessment of
the quality of water of the major rivers of the State, viz. Narmada, Tapi, Mahi
and Sabarmati.
As
per the guidelines of the CPCB, 8 stations have been fixed, out of which 6 are
for monitoring the quality of surface water and the rest for monitoring of
ground water quality. The monitoring results under this project are submitted
to the CPCB, New Delhi.
2.MINARS project
On
account of various discharge of wastewater in river, the quality is likely to
be adversely affected. It is therefore, necessary to monitor the quality of the
various river waters. This is a continuous project of previous years as
approved by the CPCB and known as MINARS (Monitoring of Indian National Aquatic
Resources System) Project.
The
Board is monitoring the water quality from 70 sampling station located on
various rivers in the State. These rivers include Sabarmati, Meshwo, Anas,
Mahi, Panam, Narmada, Damanganga, Kolak, Par, Tapi, Ambica etc. Under this
project ground water quality and lake water quality are also monitored
periodically.
The
ground water quality monitoring stations are located at Ahmedabad, Vadodara,
Bhavnagar, Amreli, Junagadh, Rajkot, Surendranagar, Jamnagar, Bhuj, Palanpur,
Mehsana, Siddhpur, Himmatnagar, Nadiad, Dahod, Godhra, Ankleshwar, Surat,
Hazira, Valsad, and Vapi.. The sampling stations included under the lake water
quality project are located at Kankaria lake and Chandola lake in Ahmedabad;
and Ajwa lake and Sursagar lake in Vadodara, Nalsarovar, Bindusarovar,
Sahashtralingsarovar, Lakhota lake, Narshinhmehtasarovar, Nadiad lake,
