Issues Identified from Past ESR’sIssues Identified from Past ESR’s

Substantial increase in water borne diseases as per ESR 2007-08. Quality of drinking water supplied and causes for its pollution (either at source or during conveyance)

Public places like Bus Stand, Railway Station, commercial premises and shopping complexes have been observed with the un-lifted solid waste dumps

Construction and demolition waste is being dumped in open land without proper treatment and handling

Open defecation is an old problem in Barshi town resulting in un-hygienic conditions and health issues

Storm water drainage gutters are often used for the solid waste dumping resulting into choking and flooding during monsoon season

DPSIR FrameworkDPSIR Framework

The Driving force – Pressure – State – Impact – Response (DPSIR) framework used in this situation analysis, assumes cause-effect

relationships between interacting components of social, economic, and environmental systems.

The DPSIR framework attempts to answer five questions that are

What is happening to the environment and what are the reasons for the pressures exerted on it?

What are the consequences for / impacts on the environment and humanity?

What is being done about it and how effective are these actions?

What could be alternative futures for unwarranted unsustainable development?

What are the alternative actions to be taken?

Impacts of Pressure on Natural Impacts of Pressure on Natural ResourcesResources

Air pollution –

At present there is no statistical information available for number of people

affected by air pollution and suffering from respiratory diseases. It is proposed to track such records for future use in ESRs

Water Pollution –

Last year, there have been approximately 100 cases of water-borne diseases

such as diarrhea.

Unhygienic and damp conditions also result into malaria. There are 5 recorded cases of malaria in year 2009.

Ground water is getting depleted due to over extraction of water from ground water resources.

Land

Land is degraded due usage of untreated sewage for agricultural purpose

Land degradation also results in surface and ground water pollution by leaching

of pollutants into the soil and to the ground water aquifer
