AMBIENT WATER QUALITY MONITORING

All pollution control activities ultimately aim at maintenance and restoration of the quality of the natural resources. Hence knowledge of the ambient quality of resources is a prerequisite for planning and execution of pollution control management strategies. The Board maintains a network for monitoring of the ambient quality of the rich and varied water resources of the state. There are 2 major programmes for ambient water quality monitoring with the Board. They are

1. National Water Quality Monitoring Programme (NWMP)

Sponsored by the CPCB scheme covers a total of 110 stations altogether in rivers, lakes, ponds ground water stations.

2. State Water Quality Monitoring Scheme (SWMP)

This scheme covers stations monitored by the Board on its own and includes 114 river stations.

On the whole there are 224 monitoring stations are maintained by the Board in the State under the above two ambient water quality monitoring programmes. This extensive monitoring network covers more than 90% of the inland water resources of the state. The tables below provides the details of the monitoring network of the Board under the two programmes.
