Presentation transcript:

Developing an online Water Quality Index (WQI) Report Card for the Ganga River in Uttar Pradesh, India S4: Water and Health: Managing Water Quality C.J. O’Neill – Director and Water Resource Engineer Water resource management, numerical modelling, DSS and Stakeholder Engagement

Environmental Report Card Synthesise large datasets for multiple sites Transformative assessment and communication tools Compare environmental data to scientific, legislative or management norms

Water Quality Index (WQI) Single number to express overall water quality based on range of biological, physical or chemical parameters Complex > Easy to Use Geo-spatial and spatio-temporal consolidation

Why

New Risks in the Digital Age? Reputation: Negative Public Image Public Perception: Too slow to react & Media response unclear Ecological Risk: Terrestrial and aquatic flora and fauna Human Health: Community health, productivity, ongoing illness Financial Risk: Rapid Response? Financial Risk: CAPEX AND OPEX waste Aim is to provide best available tools for management of water resources Here need to talk about the four key services that HN Performs

What

Real-time to Online 100 monitoring sites over 5 catchments,

Ganga River, Uttar Pradesh

GRAMS

From Real-time to Online Assess nature and extent of pollution Understand environmental fate of different pollutants Evaluate effectiveness of pollution control measures Understand water quality trends Rapidly assess water fitness for different purposes Water resource management, numerical modelling, DSS and Stakeholder Engagement

Method

Methodology 100 monitoring sites over 5 catchments,

(1) Indicators Pollutants 2009 - 2013 Temperature pH BOD DO FC Metals 2005 – 2013 Cu, Cr, Zn, Pb, NI, Cd

(2) Indices

(3) Calculate Scores

Results

Results Level 1: Basin Level WQI Level 2: Site specific WQI Scores Level 3: Detailed Parameter Information

L2: Jane Village, Kanpur

L3: Jane Village, Kanpur

Conclusions POLICY: Ganga WQI sits under 2012 MoWR NWP for Technological and Transparent Approach to management TECHNOLOGY: WQI has proven beneficial for RAPID assessment of Water Quality and identify hotspots TECHNOLOGY: WQI has proven beneficial for RAPID assessment of Water Quality trends and Qualitative and Quantitative Assessment FUTURE > Hydrology FUTURE > Sustainability Index FUTURE > Financial assessment and forecast modelling
