For the last 15 years, Parkar has been campaigning against river pollution in the area, engaging with the officials of the Maharashtra Pollution Control Board (MPCB) as well as the Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation (MIDC) which maintains the belt.
Of the 156 locations where the CPCB has set up its monitoring units on the 49 rivers and tributaries in the state, 153 do not meet the water quality criteria, according to the CPCB.
Pune attracted 45% of the notices (2,392 of 5,276) issued to polluting factories between 2011 and 2016.
These regions, along with Navi Mumbai, are among the top six in the list of regions served the most notices by the MPCB.
In Kolhapur, which has the second-highest number of defaulting factories, 64% of red-category notices were issued to medium and small-scale units.
One malfunctioning effluent plant can raise pollution levels down an entire belt The lax monitoring of and prosecution for water pollution in the state means that Common Effluent Treatment Plants (CETPs) routinely flout environmental guidelines on discharging untreated effluents into rivers.
As Boralkar pointed out, medium and small-scale industries depend on common plants for the mandatory treatment of their chemical waste.
Currently, Maharashtra has 24 CETPs; five more are set to come up.
Three years before that, in 2013, the level of pollutants in treated effluent was found to be “dangerously high” at three CETPs in Pune.
He doesn’t think much of the MPCB issuing 5,000-odd notices to erring industrial units in five years.

Havelock North water contamination inquiry finds authorities failed to adhere to high standards of care.
Hastings District Council, Hawke’s Bay Regional Council and drinking water authorities all failed to adhere to the high standards of care and diligence necessary to protect public health, the Government inquiry into the Havelock North gastro outbreak has found.
More than 5000 people were struck down from last August’s e-coli contamination.
Source: 1 NEWS The inquiry findings are being released today at the Hastings District Court.
The Government inquiry has now released its findings.
Source: 1 NEWS Around 5500 people fell ill with a gastro illness in August last year and it’s believed three people died as a result of a campylobacter outbreak.
It says the DHB responded well to the outbreak, but the District Council had some major failings.
It failed to have an emergency response plan, didn’t put a boil water notice out in time, and failed to have an up to date contact list for vulnerable individuals, schools and childcare centres.
The inquiry found the relationship between the district and regional councils was dysfunctional and a lack of collaboration resulted in a number of missed opportunities.
Water in Havelock North and Hastings will be chlorinated for at least another year.

EPA awards Oklahoma with $855,000 grant to protect water quality.
The Environmental Protection Agency has awarded $855,000 to the Oklahoma Office of the Secretary of Energy to support management of nonpoint-source water pollution, officials said in a news release.
Nonpoint-source pollution is caused by rainfall or snowmelt moving over the ground, and runoff picks up natural and man-made pollutant as it flows.
The pollution can be hard to manage because it cannot be traced to an official source, officials said.
“Improving the Nation’s water is one of EPA’s highest priorities under the Trump administration,” said EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt, who was Oklahoma’s attorney general before taking a position in President Donald Trump’s administration.
“This grant funds state-led programs that are working for communities throughout my home state of Oklahoma."
The EPA’s grant will help Oklahoma fund nonpoint source pollution management projects, including controlling animal wastes, sediment, pesticides and fertilizers, officials said.
“Oklahoma has shown great success in improving water quality by working directly with landowners to reduce nonpoint-source pollution,” said Michael J. Teague, Oklahoma‘s secretary of Energy and Environment.
“This award will continue to assist the Oklahoma Conservation Commission and partners to improve our state’s waters.”

EPA studies creek contamination.
A handful of Osage County oil producers may need to temporarily suspend operations while federal officials attempt to determine the source of salt water contamination in a creek branch northwest of Pawhuska.. For now, producers in the affected area near Bird Creek will be asked to submit daily production reports to investigators with the Environmental Protection Agency, EPA administrator Sam Coleman said.
For several months, the slow-moving pool of salt water and oil was being monitored.
Since the creek eventually would discharge into Bluestem Lake, the city eventually took the precaution of switching to Lake Pawhuska for its municipal water needs.
The source of the salt water found in Bird Creek still has not been determined, officials said.
As a result, more than a mile of pasture land has been declared unuseable.
Tests were subsequently conducted which indicated the damaged pipe was allowing contaminated water to leak into the freshwater creek.
The environmental experts worked quickly with preserve staff to isolate the pollutants.
Pumper trucks were used to take water from a pond beneath the damaged pipe and a series of ditches were dug for collecting the contaminated water until it could be pumped away from the runoff area.
Officials said the salt water that previously spilled into Sand Creek should cause no problems downstream.

New Study Shows Diversified Crop Rotation System Could Be Adopted Widely Across Corn Belt And Increase Corn-Soy Yields While Slashing Soil Erosion and Water Pollution.
WASHINGTON (May 9, 2017)—A new study released today by the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS) found that modified three- and four-crop farming systems could be scaled up and adopted widely in Corn Belt states, generating benefits to farmers and taxpayers worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
The analysis, “Rotating Crops, Turning Profits: How Diversified Farming Systems Can Help Farmers While Protecting Soil and Preventing Pollution,” builds on a long-term study at Iowa State University, known as the Marsden Farm study, which demonstrated that adding combinations of alfalfa, cover crops, and small grains such as oats to a typical corn-soy rotation can increase farmers’ yields and maintain profits while reducing herbicide and fertilizer use.
Over time, and with the expansion of markets for oats or other small grains in the rotation, the system could be scaled up to nearly 40 percent of Iowa’s current farmland without driving farmers back to predominantly corn-soy.
“In 2015 alone, we spent $1.5 million running our nitrate-removal system for a record 177 days in order to provide our customers with safe drinking water; these costs are directly passed on to our ratepayers.
We need a different set of farm policies that help farmers and also protect our natural resources.” The UCS report says federal farm policies can help farmers reap the benefits of diversified cropping system by funding additional research, education and technical assistance.
“Our farmers want to implement diverse crop rotations, but the way that financial markets and incentives work, they can’t profitably grow oats or other crops besides corn or soy,” said Sarah Carlson, director of the Practical Farmers of Iowa’s Midwest Cover Crop Project, an initiative that helps farmers adopt cover crops and works with food companies to change the market for small grain crops.
Stand up for science and stop the new administration from putting politics before science at the expense of our health and the environment.
To: President Donald Trump Subject: Stand Up for Science As you forge a new path forward for America, it is vitally important that science and a respect for the facts guide your decision making.
We, the undersigned, believe that: rigorous, independent science should inform government policy, corporate practices, and consumer choices; people who are appointed to lead critical agencies such as the Environmental Protection Agency should have demonstrated support for the agencies’ mission; America’s Founding Fathers understood the importance of science to building a strong nation and sustaining the prosperity, health, and security of its citizens; America should continue to be a global leader in science and innovation; we can strengthen American democracy by advancing the essential role of science, evidence-based decision making, and constructive debate as a means to improve the lives of all people; and all scientists should be free to conduct and speak out about their research without fear of retribution or censorship.

Surveying 16 stream catchments in the North York Moors National Park – historically one of the worst acid water pollution sites in the UK – researchers found a higher diversity of invertebrates than expected and faunas indicative of unpolluted waters. Previous water quality surveys have shown very acidic stream waters and high levels of toxins such as aluminium, especially in catchments that were forested after the Second World War. Little was previously known about how pollution might have affected invertebrates inhabiting these streams, which are the basis of the aquatic food chain. Surprising results Sam Jones, a graduate from the Department of Biology who conducted the sampling as part of his placement year at the National…

Increased awareness among farmers and lifestyle block owners about the risks of water contamination has resulted in a major boost in business for a Waipawa firm.
Q Labs managing director Raymond Burr said while his firm also carried out soil and herbage testing, there had been a significant increase in demand for testing for E.coli and other bacteria, mostly from farmers and lifestyle block owners who were relying on bores and rain water tanks for their domestic water consumption, as well as for livestock.
Q Labs’ head testing technician Rachel Coburn welcomed the greater awareness after the gastro crisis.
People come in, and even though they might be feeling ill, they don’t think they have a problem because they’ve always been on rain water.
But 90-95 per cent of the time, that first test will come back positive [for E.coli] and they are often surprised.
People don’t appreciate the risks [of water contamination]," she said.
So it happens really fast — it’s exponential growth.
Bores were less of a problem, she said, but if the bore heads were not secure they could be prone to contamination after heavy seasonal rains due to the volume of water moving around in the soil.
But people with water tanks needed to be vigilant all year round, she urged.
Contamination advice for owners of private bores and water tanks can also be found at healthed.govt.nz by searching for ‘water’.

@MaryAnnBraggCCT ORLEANS — Voters easily approved a 6 percent increase for next year’s operating budget, to $33.5 million, at the annual town meeting Monday.
“It’s time to identify other sources of revenue” and other ways to complete capital projects without increasing property taxes, Bruneau said.
“This project has been brought in under budget,” DPW facilities building committee member Peter Coneen said of the spending proposed.
One voter asked for more building maintenance in the future.
This, too, will need voter approval at the town election.
The actual cost for Orleans is $158,000, a Nauset Regional School Committee member said.
A $300,000 ambulance replacement passed, but the Finance Committee opposed it.
As the town moves toward becoming a green community under state guidelines, there are requirements that some town vehicles be energy-efficient, a voter said.
The resident sticker is not “free” right now because beach operations are supported from the town’s general fund, a member of the town Revenue Committee said.
The selectmen agree that fees should be reviewed more often, and that costs should be considered, Dunford said.
