National Mission for Clean Ganga (NMCG) & National Institute of Urban Affairs (NIUA) Template for Submission of the Project Idea Thesis Competition on Re-imagining Urban Rivers, Season 2 A competition for Bachelor’s and Master’s students Annexure PART 1 To be filled up by the applicant 1. Proposed project title CLEANING RIVER USING WATER TREATMENT TECHNIQUES 2. Selected Theme REDUCING RIVER POLLUTIIN 3. Abstract Pollution levels in rivers can be lowered by reducing the amount of untreated wastewater that enters them and by ensuring a continuous flow to dilute the polluted water we can reduce the river pollution by afforestation, it is term which refers to a process of planting trees on the sides of the river beds, after that providing iron or rope nets in the river then we can collect the waste material easily than providing filter dusters, savage can be removed by placing filter dusters or by using sewage treatment plant process, sewage treatment plant can be used to treat the wastewater. Copper sheets are layed under the water through a canal construction can kill the microbes and bacteria in between water cleaning plants also comes into picture with appropriate planning. 4. Case study area The Ganga is the second largest on the Indian subcontinent by discharge. To set a length of 2,510 KM with the depth of 16m (52 ft). This project is on river body Ganga and making it free from pollution. So obviously the study area is river Ganga.

Project concept The main objective of our project is to clean the river Ganga with appropriate nontechnical ways. NETS BOOMS FILTER DUSTERS COPPER SHEETS WATER CLEANING PLANTS The above shown picture illustrates the stepwise concept in cleaning water bodies. Nets are used (metal or hard rope) all the solid particles are collected such as plastic bottles wood logs etc., Page 2 of 5 National Mission for Clean Ganga (NMCG) & National Institute of Urban Affairs (NIUA) Booms are temporary floating barriers used to contain marine spills, protect the environment, and assist in recovery. A boom includes a containment partition that floats on and extends above the water's surface, and a "skirt" or "curtain" that sinks into the water. The filters used to clean the small dust particles which are mixed in it, by arranging some different duster duster a cross river with a distance of 400 to 500 metres for each up to four layers. Finally the clean water comes out of those dusters but there are some microbes(bacteria) in the water that could even eliminated for some part with copper sheet layed in a narrow canal typed structure, by arranging them with a distance of 2 to 3 km mostly 30 to 40 percentage of water may be without harmful microbes(bacteria) in between the water cleaning plants like oxygenating pond plants, floating pond plants, water lris and water cress are arranged to grow at the sides of river beds which are layed in water but don't move along with waterflow, plants uses excess nutrients for their growth and cleans the water, simultaneously helps in river ecosystem. Along the river afforestation is done to avoid soil erossion during floods. Page 3 of 5 National Mission for Clean Ganga (NMCG) & National Institute of Urban Affairs (NIUA) 6. Envisaged outcomes The measure of outcome of our project is that clean and neat Ganga River, which is even suitable for bathing, drinking and mainly to preserve our great river without falling it again into pollution track. Even the collected waste particles can also be used for the electrical power generation using biomass techniques. 7. Proposed timelines November,2021 to April,2022 (6 months duration) 8.
