The quality of riverwaters in the state has only deteriorated with the passage of time. Such is the situation that not even a single river falls in Category A (having water fit for direct drinking). The successive governments have failed to check the pollution levels, with the grade slipping to E in several areas. In February 2017, the Supreme Court had set a three-month deadline for industrial units across the country to set up effluent treatment plants (ETP), failing which their operations would be shut. Acting on it, the Punjab Pollution Control Board (PPCB) had issued common notices, warning to act after the deadline, but did not do anything against the erring units. The state has as many as 3,500 industrial units, with a majority of them claiming to treat wastewater before releasing it. The recent Beas incident spoke volumes of the apathy and the nexus between officials and industrialists.
Highlights of Quality index: • The recent water quality assessment report prepared by the state government confirms that none of the state rivers falls in Category A (having water fit for direct drinking). • The Sutlej falls in Category E at its entry point near Nangal. It reaches Category C at Hussainiwala. • The Beas falls in Category B near Talwara. It manages marginally to stay in the same level near its exit point at Harike. • The Ravi too is in the same category at Madhopura.
