Abstract

Through a review of various published reports from the Central Pollution Control Board, Comptroller and Auditor General of India, the Ministry of Environment and Forests and the Infrastructure Development Finance Company, the chapter presents the water quality status of selected stretches of some important rivers and their tributaries; analyses the changes in water quality status over a time (2007–2014); and examines the status of compliance of pollution control norms by the statutory agencies.
