CONCEPT MAP

GIST OF THE LESSON
Environmental Pollution
● Environmental pollution results from the release of substances and energy from waste products of human activities.
There are many types of pollution.
● They are classified on the basis of medium through which pollutants are transported and diffused.
● Pollution can be classified into
○ air pollution
○ water pollution
○ land pollution
○ noise pollution.

WATER POLLUTION
● Indiscriminate use of water by increasing population and industrial expansion has led to degradation of the quality of water considerably.
● Surface water available from rivers, canals, lakes, etc. is never pure.
● It contains small quantities of suspended particles, organic and inorganic substances.
● When concentration of these substances increases, the water becomes polluted, and hence becomes unfit for use.

WATER POLLUTANTS FROM NATURAL SOURCES
● Erosion
● Landslides
● Decay and decomposition of plants and animals

POLLUTANTS FROM HUMAN ACTIVITIES
Human beings pollute the water through
❖ Industrial
❖ agricultural
❖ cultural activities
● Among these activities, industry is the most significant contributor
● Industries produce several undesirable products including industrial wastes, polluted wastewater, poisonous gases, chemical residuals, numerous heavy metals, dust, smoke, etc. Most of the industrial wastes are disposed of in running water or lakes.
● Consequently, poisonous elements reach the reservoirs, rivers and other water bodies, which destroy the bio-system of these waters.
Major water polluting industries are
❖ Leather
❖ pulp and paper
❖ textiles
❖ chemicals.

WATER POLLUTION -AGRICULTURE
● Various types of chemicals used in modern agriculture such as inorganic fertilisers, pesticides and herbicides are also pollution generating components.
● These chemicals are washed down to rivers, lakes and tanks.
● These chemicals also infiltrate the soil to reach the groundwater.
● Fertiliser induces an increase in the nitrate content of surface waters.

WATER POLLUTION-CULTURAL ACTIVITIES
Cultural activities also cause water pollution
❖ pilgrimage o
❖ religious fairs
❖ Tourism

WATER POLLUTION- CONSEQUENCES
● In India, almost all surface water sources are contaminated and unfit for human consumption.
● Water pollution is a source of various water- borne diseases.
● The diseases commonly caused due to contaminated water are diarrhoea, intestinal worms, hepatitis, etc.
● The World Health Organisation shows that about one-fourth of the communicable diseases in India are water-borne.

● Though river pollution is common to all rivers, yet pollution of river Ganga flowing through one of the most populous regions of India has caused great concerns among all.
● To improve the condition of the river, the National Mission for Clean Ganga was initiated.
● The Namami Gange Programme has been launched for the same.

NAMAMI GANGE PROGRAMME
● Ganga, as a river, has national importance but the river requires cleaning by effectively controlling the pollution for its water.
● The Union Government has launched the ‘Namami Gange Programme’ with the following objectives:

-developing sewage treatment systems in towns
❖ monitoring of industrial effluents
❖ development of river front
❖ afforestation along the bank of increase biodiversity
❖ cleaning of the river surface
❖ development of ‘Ganga Grams’ in Uttarakhand, UP, Bihar, Jharkhand and West Bengal
❖ creating public awareness to avoid adding pollutants into the river even in the form of rituals.

AIR POLLUTION
❖ Air pollution is taken as an addition of contaminants, like dust, fumes, gas, fog, odour, smoke or vapour to the air in substantial proportion and duration that may be harmful to flora and fauna and to property.
❖ With increasing use of varieties of fuels as the source of energy, there is a marked increase in emission of toxic gases into the atmosphere resulting in the pollution of air.
❖ the main sources of air pollution
➢ Combustion of fossil fuels
➢ mining
➢ Industries
❖ These processes release oxides of sulphur and nitrogen, hydrocarbons, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, lead and asbestos.
❖ Air pollution causes various diseases related to respiratory, nervous and circulatory systems.
❖ Smoky fog over cities called urban smog is caused by atmospheric pollution.
❖ It proves very harmful to human health.
❖ Air pollution can also cause acid rains.
❖ Rainwater analysis of urban environments has indicated that the pH value of the first rain after summer is always lower than the subsequent rains.

NOISE POLLUTION
❖ Noise pollution refers to the state of unbearable and uncomfortable to human beings which is caused by noise from different sources.
❖ This matter has become a serious concern only in recent years due to a variety of technological innovations.
❖ The main sources of noise pollution are

➢ various factories
➢ mechanised construction
➢ demolition works
➢ automobiles
➢ aircraft.
❖ There may be added periodical but polluting noise from sirens, loudspeakers used in various festivals, programmes associated with community activities.
❖ The level of steady noise is measured by sound level expressed in terms of decibels (dB)
❖ Of all these sources, the biggest nuisance is the noise produced by traffic, because its intensity and nature depend upon factors, such as the type of aircraft, vehicle, train and the condition of road, as well as that of vehicle (in case of automobiles).
❖ In sea traffic, the noise pollution is confined to the harbour due to loading and unloading activities being carried.
❖ Industries cause noise pollution but with varying intensity depending upon the type of industry.
❖ Noise pollution is location specific and its intensity declines with increase in distance from the source of pollution, i.e. industrial areas, arteries of transportation, airports, etc.
❖ Noise pollution is hazardous in many metropolitan and big cities in India.

URBAN WASTE DISPOSAL
❖ Urban areas are generally marked by overcrowding, congestion, inadequate facilities to support the fast growing population and consequent poor sanitary conditions and foul air. Environmental pollution by solid wastes has now got significance because of enormous growth in the quantity of wastes generated from various sources.
❖ Solid waste refers to a variety of old and used articles, for example stained small pieces of metals, broken glassware, plastic containers, polythene bags, ash, floppies, CDs, etc., dumped at different places.
❖ These discarded materials are also termed as refuse, garbage and rubbish, etc., and are disposed of from two sources :
➢ household or domestic establishments,
➢ industrial or commercial establishments.
❖ Solid wastes cause health hazards through creation of obnoxious smell, and harbouring of flies and rodents, which act as carriers of diseases like typhoid, diphtheria, diarrhoea, malaria and cholera, etc.
❖ These wastes cause frequent nuisance as and when these are carelessly handled, spread by wind and splintered through rainwater
❖ Urban waste disposal is a serious problem in India.
❖ In metropolitan cities like Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai, Bengaluru, etc., about 90 per cent of the solid waste is collected and disposed of.
❖ These wastes should be treated as resources and utilised for generating energy and compost.
❖ Untreated wastes ferment slowly and release toxic biogas to the atmosphere, including methane.

Rural-Urban Migration

● Population flow from rural to urban areas is caused by many factors, like high demand for labour in urban areas, low job opportunities in rural areas and unbalanced pattern of development between urban and rural areas.
● In India, the population in cities is rapidly increasing. Due to low opportunities in smaller and medium cities, the poor people generally bypass these small cities and directly come to the megacities for their livelihood.
Problems of Slums
● Slums are residential areas of the least choice, dilapidated houses, poor hygienic conditions, poor ventilation, lack of basic amenities, like drinking water, light and toilet facilities, etc.
● Open defecation, unregulated drainage systems and overcrowded narrow street patterns are serious health and socio environmental hazards.
● Moreover, most of the slum population works in low-paid, high risk-prone, unorganised sectors of the urban economy.
● Consequently, they are the undernourished, prone to different types of diseases and illness and can not afford to give proper education to their children.
● The poverty makes them vulnerable to drug abuse, alcoholism, crime, vandalism, escapism, apathy and ultimately social exclusion.

LAND DEGRADATION
● Land degradation is generally understood either as a temporary or a permanent decline in productive capacity of the land.
● Though all degraded land may not be wasteland, an unchecked process of degradation may lead to the conversion to wasteland There are two processes that induce land degradation. These are natural and created by human beings.
● National Remote Sensing Centre (NRSC) has classified wastelands by using remote sensing techniques and it is possible to categorise these wastelands according to the processes that have created them.
● There are a few types of wastelands such as gullied /ravenous land, desertic or coastal sands, barren rocky areas, steep sloping land, and glacial areas, which are primarily caused by natural agents.
● There are other types of degraded lands such as waterlogged and marshy areas, land affected by salinity and alkalinity and land with or without scrub, which have largely been caused by natural as well as human factors.
● There are some other types of wastelands such as degraded shifting cultivation area, degraded land under plantation crops, degraded forests, degraded pastures, and mining and industrial wastelands caused by human action.
● Wastelands caused by man-made processes are more important than natural processes.

Jhabua district is located in the westernmost agro-climatic zone in Madhya Pradesh. It is, in fact, one of the five most backward districts of the country. It is characterised by high concentration of tribal population (mostly Bhils). The people suffer due to poverty which has been accentuated by the high rate of resource degradation, both forest and land. The watershed management programmes funded by both the ministries of “Rural Development '' and “Agriculture”, Government of India, have been successfully implemented in Jhabua district which has gone a long way in preventing land degradation and improving soil quality. Watershed Management Programmes acknowledge the linkage between land, water and vegetation and attempts to improve livelihoods of people through natural resource management and community participation. In the past five years, the programmes funded by the Ministry of Rural Development alone (implemented by Rajiv Gandhi Mission for Watershed Management) has treated 20 percent of the total area under Jhabua district. The Petlawad block of Jhabua is located in the northernmost part of the district and represents an interesting and successful case of Government-NGO partnership and community participation in managing watershed programmes. The Bhils in Petlawad block, for example, (Sat Rundi hamlet of Karravat village) through their own efforts, have revitalised large parts of common property resources. Each household planted and maintained one tree on the common property. They also have planted fodder grass on the pasture land and adopted social-fencing of these lands for at least two years. Even after that, they say, there would be no open grazing on these lands, but stall feeding of cattle, and they are thus confident that the pastures they have developed would sustain their cattle in future. An interesting aspect of this experience is that before the community embarked upon the process of management of the pasture, there was encroachment on this land by a villager from an adjoining village. The villagers called the tehsildar to ascertain the rights of the common land. The ensuing conflict was tackled by the villagers by offering to make the defaulter encroaching on the CPR a member of their user group and sharing the benefits of greening the common lands/ pastures.

Question. How the common property resources in Jhabua were restored and developed?
Answer. Each household planted and maintained one tree on the common property. They also have planted fodder grass on the pasture land and adopted social-fencing of these lands for two years there would be no open grazing on these lands, but stall feeding of cattle

Question. Name the ministry which funded the development of CPR .
Answer. Ministries of “Rural Development” and “Agriculture”

Question. Write any two characteristics of the tribal people of Jhabua district
Answer. The people suffer due to poverty which has been accentuated by the high rate of resource degradation, both forest and land

Question. How have the bhils of Petlawad block of Jhabua district of Madhya Pradesh revitalised large parts of common property resources through their own efforts. Explain with examples
Answer. The Bhils in Petlawad block through their own efforts, have revitalised large parts of common property resources. Each household planted and maintained one tree on the common property. They also have planted fodder grass on the pasture land and adopted social-fencing of these lands for at least two years. Even after that, there would be no open grazing on these lands, but stall feeding of cattle, and they are thus confident that the pastures they have developed would sustain their cattle in future

Question. Examine the success of the watershed management programme implemented in Jhabua district of Madhya Pradesh.
Answer. The watershed Management programme in Jhabua district is highly successful because –
1. Land degradation has been prevented.
2. Soil quality has improved.
3. Improved the growth of natural vegetation.
4. Improved the sources of livelihood for the tribals.

Based on the universal law “Polluter pays' ', an effort to restore the ecology and safeguard human health with people's participation has taken place in Daurals near Meerut. Theee efforts are now bearing fruits after a span of three years when Meerut based NGO had developed a model for ecological restoration. The meeting of the Daurala Industries officials, NGOs, Government officials and other stakeholders in Meerut , has brought out results. The powerful logics, authentic studies and the pressure of people have brought a new lease of life to the twelve thousand residents of this village. It was in the year 2003 that the pitiable condition of Deuralaites drew the attention of civil society. ’ The groundwater of this village was contaminated with heavy metals. The reason was that the untreated wastewater of Deurala industries was leaching to the groundwater table. The NGO conducted a door to door survey of the health status of the residents and came out with a report. People's representatives eat together to find out sustainable solutions to the health problem. The industrialists showed a keen ecology. The overhead water tank's capacity in the village was enhanced and a 900m extra pipeline was laid to supply potable water to the community. The silted pond of the village was cleaned and recharged by desilting it. Large quantity of silt was removed paving way to a large quantity of water so that it recharged the aquifers. Rainwater harvesting structures have been constructed at different places which has helped in diluting the contaminants of the groundwater after the monsoons. 1000 trees have also been planted.

Dharavi-Asia‘’s Largest Slum “.... Busse merely skirt the periphery. Auto Rickshaws cannot go there, Dharavi is part of central Bombay where three wheelers are banned. Only one main road traverses the slum, the miscalled ‘ninety-foot road’, which has been reduced to less than half of that for most of its Length. Some of the side alleys and lanes are so narrow that not even a bicycle can pass. The whole neighbourhood consists of temporary buildings, two or three storeyed high with rusty iron stairways to the upper part, where a single room is rented by a whole family, sometimes accommodating twelve or more people; it is a kind of tropical version of the industrial dwelling of Victorian London's East End. But Dharavi is a keeper of more sombre secrets (than the revulsion it inspires in the rich; a revulsion, moreover, that is, in direct proportion to the role it serves in the creation of the wealth of Bombay. In this place of shadowless, treeless sunlight, uncollected garbage, stagnant pools of foul water, where the only non-human creatures |are the shining black crows and long grey rats,some of the most beautiful, valuable and useful articles in India are made. From Dharavi come delicate ceramics and pottery, exquisite leather goods, high-fashion garments, finely-wrought metalwork, delicate jewellery settings, wood carvings and furniture that would find its way into the richest houses, both in India and abroad... Dharavi was an arm of the sea that was filled by waste, largely produced by the people who have come to live there: Scheduled Castes and poor Muslims. It comprises rambling buildings of corrugated metal, 20 metres high in places, used for the treatment of hides and tanning. There are pleasant parts, but rotting garbage is everywhere...”
