Under Ganga Action and Yamuna Action plans, it is proposed to - |
Directly discharge the water from industry into the rivers Discharge untreated sewage into the Yamuna river Discharge only the treated sewage into both the rivers Discharge water with high BOD into the rivers |
Discharge only the treated sewage into both the rivers |
The correct answer is Option (3) → Discharge only the treated sewage into both the rivers Due to increasing urbanisation, sewage is being produced in much larger quantities than ever before. However the number of sewage treatment plants has not increased enough to treat such large quantities. So the untreated sewage is often discharged directly into rivers leading to their pollution and increase in water-borne diseases. The Ministry of Environment and Forests has initiated Ganga Action Plan and Yamuna Action Plan to save these major rivers of our country from pollution. Under these plans, it is proposed to build a large number of sewage treatment plants so that only treated sewage may be discharged in the rivers. |
