InanendeavortoprepareframeworkfordevelopingGangaRiver

BasinEnvironmentManagementPlan(GRBEMP),theConsortiaof

7 IITs are engaged in wide ranging consultations with various

stakeholders.The consensusappears tobe that theplan should

beconsistentwith thepremise that riverGanga (i) is lively,holy

anduniqueamongstallriversofIndia,ifnotoftheworld;(ii)isto

be viewed as Worlds Natural Heritage*; and (iii) must flow

uninterruptedlyfrom

her

source

to

destination,

and

sustain

all

naturalandindigenouslivingformsandsystems.

Theoverarching objectiveof theGRB EMP is the restoration of

wholesomeness of rivers in the Ganga basin while ensuring

appropriatemanagementofwater, sediments andenergy (both

demandandsupply)toaccommodatethepressuresof increased

population, urbanization, industrialization and agriculture.

Restoringwholesomenessofriversmeansensuringthesanctityof

the fundamental aspects of the river system as imbibed in the

followingPanchSutras:1. Continuousflow( ),2. Unpollutedflow( ),3. Longitudinal, lateralandverticalconnectivityof the river

system,

4. Adequatespaceforvariousriverfunctions,and5. Riverasanecologicalentity.

With thisbackground, following fourbroadobjectives incontext

ofthepreparationofGRBEMPmaybeset: EnvironmentalFlowstobemaintained inallminorandmajortributariesandmainstemoftheriverGanga.All

anthropogenic

activities

must

ensure

maintenance

of

riverbedand riverwaterquality tosuitecologicaland

socioculturalfunctions. Utilizeexcesswater (available runoff from rainfall andsnowmelt over and above environmental flows)

judiciously, equitably and effectively for sustainable

development. All human activities/interventions, whether existing,being implemented, and/or proposed in the Ganga

Basin to be planned and modified appropriately in a

transparentmanner i.e.undertakeanyactivity/interventiononlyafterachievingbroad consensus (from

conceptionthroughimplementationandoperation)amongstallstakeholders.

GeospatialDatabaseManagement(GDM):

Under the Ganga River Basin Environment Management Plan (GRB EMP), different thematic groups have been

identified thatwork together for achieving the goalsof theproject. A key component thatbinds all the groups

together is theGeospatialDatabaseManagement (GDM)group. Thisgroup is responsible forhandling thedata

needsofalltheothergroups,andistherefore,centraltotheentireproject. Themaintaskofthegroupistosetupa

Communication(COM):

To achieve the goal of communication, mass awareness and information dissemination amongst the people, a

(http://www.gangapedia.in)wasfirst launched in July2010,asthecommonpublicplatformforpublicat largeto

Thoughthequantumofdataontheriversystemisvoluminous,therearenumerouslacunaeintheinformationthat

still needs to be plugged. The repository of data and information should be suchwhich is easily accessible and

understandable by anyone. The group has come up with Cmaps which are pictorial representations easy to

The

by

many
