NGT notice to UP govt over dirty water in Sambhal district.
A bench headed by Justice Jawad Rahim issued notices to the Yogi Adityanath government, state pollution control board, Sambhal district magistrate and the municipal council while seeking their replies before July 13.
"Children are drinking dirty water.
It’s shocking.
Why don’t you do something," the bench, also comprising expert Nagin Nanda, said.
The plea filed by advocate Gaurav Bansal said as per the website of the national rural drinking water programme maintained by the Ministry of Drinking Water and Sanitation, the groundwater of 30 villages of Sambhal district was heavily contaminated.
He contended that the people in these villages were forced to drink polluted water due to the inaction by the state government in resolving the issue.
The lawyer has sought directions to the state government to provide potable drinking water to the villages in the district where handpumps were discharging contaminated water.
The lawyer said he had himself visited one such village Sharifpur and found that all the handpumps were releasing yellow coloured water.
"During the visit, applicant was told by the villagers of Sharifabad and Kurkawali that many of the interior villages were facing acute potable water shortage," it said.

Syria: Safe drinking water at last, after four years..
If you lived in rural Homs, you wouldn’t need to imagine it.
“Our only choice is to buy from the trucks that carry water from unknown sources.” In March 2017, I was part of a Medair team from Damascus on a field visit to southern and western Homs.
We met with local water authorities in Homs to get an overview of the situation, and then visited three villages near Homs: Al-Aliyat, Al-Nezha, and Swairi.
In each of these villages we connected with people who shared their stories and concerns over their lack of access to safe drinking water.
“I do not know where the water we buy from the trucks comes from,” said a father from Swairi.
“I am worried about the health of my children, but we have to drink water to stay alive.” Sadly, the high cost of trucked-in water makes it unaffordable for many families.
Thanks to your monthly support, we have been able to rapidly provide safe drinking water to these three villages through two projects.
As we travelled back to Damascus after the March assessment, I reflected on the suffering that my family and I had endured recently—suffering felt by all the people of Damascus when the fighting affected our water supply.
Thank you, Medair!” Your monthly gift to Medair makes these kinds of critical projects possible.

Why are people spending money on bottled water when many have a safe water source, right from the nearby tap?
Do people think it is safer to drink?
Locally, the Peterborough Utilities Commission (PUC) manages our water to meet and exceed government requirements for water testing.
It produces a compound that can be detected in the taste of the water, even after treatment.
Bottled water comes in individually packaged, plastic bottles.
Also, fossil fuels are required to produce that bottle.
It takes one-quarter of a bottle of oil to produce each plastic bottle and transport it to the store.
“Someone living in Peterborough, Ontario may not imagine that their plastic water bottle could end up in the ocean,” explains Jenn McCallum, GreenUP Water programs co-ordinator, “but, we are surrounded by water in this area and any plastic bottle that ends up in the Otonabee River could find it’s way through the watershed to Rice Lake, into the Trent River, to Lake Ontario and finally to the Atlantic Ocean.
Reusable water bottles are available in many local stores, including the GreenUP Store at 378 Aylmer St. N. in downtown Peterborough.
You can also find the Ptbo H20 mobile drinking water station at several events in and around the Peterborough area.

How to avoid drinking contaminated water after a hurricane.
When a hurricane crashes onto shore with destructive winds and deadly storm surge, its threat to clean water supply is a major concern.
Consuming contaminated water can lead to serious health problems, including gastrointestinal illness and reproductive issues, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Lack of pressure in the water system increases the likelihood of dirty storm water leaking into the lines, he said.
In the two months following Hurricane Katrina in 2005, the EPA found no occurrences of waterborne illnesses or diseases resulting from contaminated drinking water in some states, including Mississippi.
In the weeks after the hurricane, lack of clean drinking water led to a cholera outbreak, according to the Associated Press.
“If people do actually have water pressure out of their sinks, they’re told to make sure to boil that water before consuming it,” Trygar said.
Consumers should avoid all contact with the water supply if a Do Not Use notice is issued, as boiling will not destroy all contaminants, according to the Water Quality Research Foundation.
For drinking and personal hygiene, FEMA recommends storing at least three days’ worth of water per person in a cool, dark place.
Flooded wells should be tested and disinfected after the water levels go down, according to the FDA.

Croatians create an application that maps global sources of clean, free drinking water.
This week Croatian startup Freewa launched an Indiegogo campaign aimed at gathering funds for project development and invited people to report in well-known sources of drinking water.
Freewa is actually an ecological water bottle and mobile application that can be used to locate the nearest drinking water, whether it is a natural source or public.
Freewa glass eco bottle & felt bag are made by five recycled plastic water bottles, to further reduce the amount which ends in the seas, and can also become an original souvenir.
People are also invited to located and register free drinking water sources via the app.
The Freewa team is made up of Marko Rašić, Vedrana Vrabec, Goran Ladišić and Mihaela Ivanec.

‘FOLLOW THE WATER’ Soccer Project Underway in Unification Town.
FOLLOW THE WATER brings The Last Well and DonamiSport together to begin a pilot project to reach every child and family in Unification Town/Smell No Taste in Margibi County with clean water and soccer, Doc Lawson, chief executive officer of Donami Sports told YMCA Executive Director E. Timotheus Kamaboakai yesterday.
FOLLOW THE WATER is a new initiative from The Last Well, under the suggestion of Doc Lawson, to team up with the Young Men’s Christian Association of Liberia (YMCA) to ensure kids that are involved in DonamiSports-YMCA soccer programs to have access to safe drinking water.
Mr. Lawson told YMCA General Secretary Kamaboakai at the YMCA headquarters on Crown Hill, Monrovia, after demonstrating how to purify water using two buckets especially designed for it, adding that residents of Unification Town will be the first beneficiaries of the project.
“This filtration will ensure that each family has safe drinking water in Unification Town.” He said the project will take about one month, and presently assessment teams are in Unification Town working with families to benefit from the project.
Lawson said the FOLLOW THE WATER project uses soccer to get kids active, provide them with safe drinking water and ensure that no child dies from waterborne diseases.
After the project in Unification Town, Lawson said representatives from the YMCA already in the city will ensure that families are making good use of the system.
After the system is turned over to families, there will be two six-month assessment visits to ensure that they are using the buckets as expected.
“The buckets for the purification are free to each family,” Lawson said, “and we have 60,000 buckets to get everyone on our project ready for safe drinking water.” After Unification Town, he said the project will go to communities such as New Kru Town, West Point, Clara Town, and others.
The purifying buckets are programmed to last for 15 years, he said.

Residents of village Bharutola are facing severe potable water crisis as the three wells along with the sole borewell have parched up leaving no scope for villagers to obtain drinking water.
The shortage of drinking water in the village has compelled villagers to travel long distance to obtain water.
The complaint filed in the session of Jan Sunvai held recently has also failed to provide some relief to villagers.
According to information, villagers of Bharutola are faced with serious problem of obtaining drinking water.
Reason behind the water scarcity is that four water resources in the village, including three wells and one bore well, have dried up.
The sole hand pump in the village is unable to cater to the needs of villagers as the water level has receded beyond the pipe line fitted inside the bore well.
With no alternate arrangement to fetch water, villagers are forced to travel long distance to obtain water in adjoining village by carrying water tumblers on bicycle and bullock-carts.
An application was handed over to the District Collector seeking some alternate arrangement to supply drinking water in the village.
After the complaint pertaining to dearth of drinking water came to fore in Jan Sunvai, this correspondent visited the village and found that members of villagers are faced with drinking water crisis.
“With no attention given by the administration, we are forced to travel around 7 kilometres to obtain water from river.” The villagers are tired of covering long distance for water for daily routine work.

A BUFFALO ranch in Kampung Sungai Kembung, Kajang, is feeling the heat from authorities and villagers for allegedly discharging livestock sewage into the Beranang River.
But after a second round of tests, Luas senior assistant director Nor Zamri Sondor confirmed the current levels of ammonia flowing from the pond had been diluted and would not affect water quality.
Alerted to the post by Energy, Green Technology and Water Ministry (KeTTHA), StarMetro visited the area and found two vegetable farms as well as a sand-mining operation in the same area as the buffalo farm.
But since June 2016, it has issued no less than five notices to the buffalo ranch.
This illegal dumpsite was found along the bank of Beranang River.
Though authorities assured him water from the Beranang River was safe, he was still hopeful something could be done about the dung smell emanating from the ranch.
“The buffalo farm workers take the buffaloes out to graze.
Farm co-owner Datuk Abdul Astiaq Khan, who met StarMetro at the site, said the farm hoped to rectify the livestock effluent problem within two months.
“The ranch houses up to 1,200 buffaloes now and have been operating without a hitch for the past 18 years.
If the farm owner does not comply with Luas’ order to stop the release of effluents into the river, it will face legal action.
