Initiative of Punjab Pollution Control Board & State Government to clean the Rivers namely Sutlej and Beas
Since, the water of River Sutlej and Beas after their confluence at Harike Head Works leads to Rajasthan Feeder Canal and Sirhind Feeder Canal. Similarly, at Hussaniwala Head Works the water leads to Eastern Canal, which is further used for drinking purposes in the South Western Districts of the State, therefore, it was the vision of the State Govt. that safe drinking water may be supplied to the public/ inhabitants residing in the vicinity of these canals. Therefore, in the first phase, it was thought by the State Govt. that sewerage system and sewage treatment plants should be installed for those towns whose wastewater is directly/ indirectly discharged into River Sutlej at that portion of river from where the said canals originate. After number of meetings with the officers of the various departments of the State Govt. and detailed deliberations, it was decided by the Hon’ble Chief Minister, Punjab that following 17 and 11 towns, located on the catchment area of River Sutlej and Beas, respectively, should be given priority for installation of sewerage and STPs for these towns.

Since, the water of River Ghaggar is not used for drinking purposes, therefore, it has been given low priority regarding installation of water supply, sewerage system and installation of STPs. Therefore, in order to provide the sewerage system and STPs for these towns, as mentioned in the tables given above, the Hon’ble Chief Minister, Punjab took many meetings with the officers of the various departments of the State Govt. and even the matter was taken up personally with the Hon’ble Minister, Deptt. of Environment and Forests, Govt. of India, New Delhi 3-4 times to cover some of the towns of the State of Punjab under NRCP schemes and release the amount for installation of sewage treatment plants for those towns.
It was also considered utmost essential that the industries, which are discharging their wastewater directly / indirectly into River Sutlej and Beas, must install their effluent treatment plants to meet with the standards prescribed by the Board and efforts may be made to curtail the discharge of these industries into these Rivers. Therefore, the progress made in this regard is given as under:

- Industries of Ludhiana Area
The following water polluting industries of Ludhiana area discharge their wastewater into Budha Nallah through sewer and ultimately joins to River Sutlej.
i) Electroplating Industries
There are about 500 small scale and 7 large and medium scale electroplating industries in Ludhiana. The present flow from these industries is 4 MLD, of which 3.85 MLD is contributed by large and medium electroplating industries and rest 0.15 MLD is from small scale electroplating industries.
ii) Small Scale Electroplating Industries
Presently, all the small scale electroplating industries (about 500 units) have joined CETP, which has been installed in Focal Point, Phase-VIII, Ludhiana. This CETP is based on zero liquid discharge (ZLD) technology, having equipped with physico-chemical treatment followed by RO system and multi effect evaporator (MEE). The recovered water from RO system is reused in the nearby dyeing industry. Presently, no effluent is discharged from CETP into sewer leading to Budha Nallah. The photograph of RO system installed at CETP is shown below:

iii) Large and Medium Electroplating Industries
As far as the treatment by all 7 large and medium scale electroplating industries is concerned, these industries have provided their individual ETPs and are meeting with the standards prescribed by the Board but in order to ensure no metal content into Budha Nallah, these industries have been directed to install advanced treatment technology comprises of RO system followed by MEE. With the concerted efforts of Pollution Control Board, all these industries have provided RO system and the recovered water is recycled back into the processes of the industry. However, these industries have been directed to install MEE to achieve zero metal content into Budha Nallah. Accordingly, 5 of these have installed MEE and presently no effluent from these industries is discharged into Budha Nallah. The detail of the treatment systems provided by these industries is given in Table- 1 as under:

iv) Treatment of Effluent from Dyeing Industries through CETP
The present flow from the dyeing industries is 150 MLD and the projected discharge is 200 MLD, out of which 150 MLD is from small scale dyeing industries (130 MLD from 5 clusters of dyeing units and 20 MLD from scattered units) and 50 MLD from the large and medium scale dyeing industries. Presently, all the small, medium and large scale dyeing industries have installed their individual effluent treatment Plants (ETPs) but in order to monitor all the small and medium scale industries meticulously at one outlet so as to ensure the compliance of the standards, there is a proposal to install two CETPs of capacity 123 MLD and 15 MLD at Tajpur and Bhattian. 4 clusters (Industrial Area-A, 37 industries, 20 MLD discharge), Focal Point (53 industries, 40 MLD discharge), Tajpur Road (73 industries, 40 MLD discharge), Rahon Road (19 industries, 15 MLD discharge), 10 scattered units, 8 MLD discharge shall join to first CETP of capacity 123 MLD. The second CETP of capacity 15 MLD, which will be installed by SPV of Bhadurke Road and the said CETP shall be based on zero liquid discharge technology. For the first CETP of capacity of 123 MLD, land has been arranged and project management consultant has been engaged who will prepare the DPR and the same is likely to be submitted very shortly. With the installation of these two CETPs, the quality of water flowing in Budha Nallah will be restored. The map showing the cluster of CETP at Ludhiana is given as under:
v) Lining of Budha Nallah:
Hon'ble Chief Minister, Punjab expressed the keen interest for lining of Budha Nallah, in view of enhancement of its carrying capacity and avoiding the contamination of groundwater of residents located along the Budha Nallah.
There is a proposal for lining of Budha Nallah which can be done either with bricks or stone pitching or with earth. The estimated cost of lining of Budha Nallah under different schemes is as under:

vi) Preparation of Irrigation Scheme:
The Department of Irrigation has prepared irrigation scheme to utilize the treated wastewater flowing into Budha Nallah in the command area available. A head regulator shall be provided at the start of lower Budha Nallah. The demarcation of lower Budha Nallah has already been made and there is a proposal to utilize the treated wastewater for irrigation of fields. As per the proposal prepared by the Department of Soil Conservation & Irrigation, the total discharge of Ludhiana will be 616 MLD for which the command area of 48,527 acres will be required. The total project cost will be 249.15 Crores. For providing irrigation scheme through unlined channel, the estimated cost of irrigation scheme is Rs. 132 Crores. However, this cost can be reduced by providing digging system of irrigation scheme.
vii) Study of Budha Nallah
Punjab Pollution Control Board has carried out a detailed study with regard to the pollution in Budha Nallah. As per the study carried out by the Board from the year 2006 and 2010-11 conducted before mixing of Budha Nallah with river Sutlej water, the concentration of heavy metals has been observed as given in Table-2:

The heavy metals are mainly contributed by the Electroplating industries. The above data as tabulated above indicate that there is considerable reduction in the concentration of heavy metals, which is achieved by the continuous persuasion and concerted efforts of the Punjab Pollution Control Board which led to the installation of common effluent treatment plant at Focal Point, Ludhiana and achievement of zero liquid discharge by the said common treatment plant and also with the steps taken by large/medium scale electroplating industries by installing of Reverse Osmosis Plants.
viii) Adoption of Green Bridge Technology
In order to restore the ecology of Budha Nallah, there is also proposal to install green bridge technology, which is not only a treatment system but an eco-system in itself, wherein, no machinery, electricity, chemicals and trained manpower is required but it will be a kind of horizontal filtration of wastewater through the layer of biologically activated filtration medium and absorb the contaminates. In this technology, wastewater passes through the filtering medium and biodegradable solids are degraded in series of green bridges. Biodegradable organic matter alongwith oil and grease will be consumed by bacteria present in the specialized top layer of filtration system and the treated water can be used for agriculture purposes. An expert in this field, Dr. Sandeep Joshi and Sh. Probir Sinha of Shrishti Eco Research Institute (SERI), Pune had visited Budha Nallah areas along officers of Punjab Pollution Control Board and other officers of State Govt. on 3/8/2010 and all the information, which they required, was made available to them. The said institute has informed that they have submitted DPR to Central Pollution Control Board, which is appraising the same. In this regard, the matter has also been taken by the Hon'ble Chief Minister, Punjab with the Hon’ble Minister of Environment & Forests, Govt. of India, New Delhi on 31/8/2010 to accord prompt approval of the DPR so that this project for cleaning of Budha Nallah and River Sutlej and consequent conservation of Environment in Punjab can be taken up without any delay if the technology is found to be feasible as projected.



If the said technology is provided in Budha Nallah, the quality of water in the said Nallah shall be further improved and consequently, it will further improve its quality and ecological system in Budha Nallah will also be restored.
