Land Use analysis and Pollution Assessment Along the Ganga Valley from Rampurghat to Chunar
Keywords:
Land use, Ganga Valley, Pollution, Rampurghat, Chunar.Abstract
The study analyzes the land use and pollution along with assessment of the Ganga Valley from Rampurghat to Chunar, which lies on the right bank of the river Ganga (Ganges). Municipal and industrial effluents affect the sediment and water of the river.The river is a chief source of water supply, power generation, river sediment transport and growth of the urban industrial zone. Though, the river obtains huge amount of untreated wastewater which imbalances the nutrient focus at many points along the stretch.There are also more possibilities for the development resource in the river valley. Therefore, keeping in the view this, study of rivers and valleys in geography has become very necessary.
