PDS review PDS review meeting with meeting with Deptt. of Hydrology Deptt. of Hydrology at IIT, Roorkeeat IIT, Roorkee

NIH, Roorkee conducted PDS on Impact of Sewage Effluent on Drinking Water Sources of Shimla City and suggesting Ameliorative Measure's as some cases of Jaundice were reported from parts of Shimla City in the year 2006-07.

Final report was received in May, 2013.

NIH recommended measures, like installation of ultra filtration membrane or ozone treatment, to improve the performance of Water Treatment Plant

Performance study of Sewage Treatment Plant was also recommended.

Taking note of non seasonal jaundice cases, an Inter departmental Sub-Group was constituted in March, 2013 to investigate its cause.

The findings of this Sub Group were discussed in the meetings held under the Chairmanship of Additional Chief Secretary (IPH) to the Govt. of H.P.

Considering the recommendations of NIH it was decided that Techno Commercial proposal be prepared for installing Ultra filtration membrane and ozone treatment system at WTP. It also decided to have the performance of STP validated by engaging appropriate agency.

The I&PH Department is accordingly working on there proposals and it is expected that the study recommendation would soon transform into reality.

Lesson LearntEffort made to bring the data collector agencies on one platform and to share the data under the aegis of HP-II was one big lesson for all and everyone stands to gain through such an arrangement. GoHP took one step forward and MoUs were signed with various data collector agencies to make this a formal arrangement.

There is lot of scope for further improvement in the system to have a reliable data base with improved accuracy. Successful introduction of systems like automatic stations and telemetry system has given confidence for further expansion and rational conversion of old system to new one.

We have learnt that site specific changes are required in the layout and general arrangement keeping in view factors like accessibility, topography, signal strength, availability of manpower and even social environment.

Intensive training programmes and refresher courses reflect in improved efficiency. Excellent learning opportunity by way of international training courses needs to be utilized fully for development of manpower resource working in this crucial sector.
