Effective Remediation Techniques for Twin Shallow Lakes in Panchkula, Haryana
Water is the most important natural resource available to mankind. There is a scarcity of freshwater in comparison to human population on earth. The recent modernization and advances in living conditions have led to the water quality degradation. The decrease in water quality due to constant effects of anthropogenic activities such as rapid urbanization and agricultural expansion has led to development of measures to limit water quality degradation of natural water bodies. In this context, water quality inspection and monitoring are often carried out for freshwater bodies. The water bodies often lack proper maintenance systems leading to short- and long-term damages to these resources. Hence, appropriate remediation measures are required to remediate such water bodies which have been affected by this environmental degradation and to reduce further detrimental effects. The present study discusses different remediation techniques along with their advantages and disadvantages in application to two lakes in Haryana, India. The techniques are selected based on viability of these methods in terms of site conditions and problems, maintenance, feasibility, and ease of application. The parameters determined are pH, DO, HCO3, BOD, COD, NO3, and TP, and based on these parameters, the suitable remediation techniques have been determined and described. The study will be helpful in determination of appropriate remediation techniques to be followed for similar kinds of lakes in rapidly modernizing and developing areas.
