## ANSWER

MINISTER  OF  STATE  IN  THE  MINISTRY  OF  ENVIRONMENT,  FOREST  AND CLIMATE CHANGE

(SHRI KIRTI VARDHAN SINGH)

(a) to (d)

CPCB in association with State Pollution Control Boards/Pollution Control Committees monitors water quality of aquatic resources at 4922 locations under National Water Quality Monitoring Programme (NWMP).

The water quality data for the monitored locations on River Cauvery under NWMP in the state of Karnataka and Tamil Nadu in year 2024 is enclosed as Annexure-I .

The water quality data for the monitored locations on River Kabini under NWMP in the state of Karnataka in year 2024 is enclosed as Annexure-II .

Based on the comparative assessment of polluted river stretches (PRS) identified in year 2016 and 2017, the PRS have been identified in year 2018.

- -The  stretch  of  River  Cauvery  from  Ranganathittu  to  Sathyamangalam  Bridge  was identified as PRS under Priority Class-IV in the state of Karnataka and
- -The stretch of river Cauvery from Metur to Mayiladuthurai which was identified as PRS under Priority Class-I in the state of Tamil Nadu.
- -River Kabini was identified as PRS under Priority Class-IV from Nanjanagud to Hejjige in Karnataka.
- -As per the latest report of the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) on Polluted River Stretches, (2025), the Kabini River has no polluted stretches in Kerala.

Based on the assessment of water quality data for the year 2022 and 2023, the polluted river stretches have been identified in year 2025.

- -In Karnataka, River Cauvery has been identified as PRS under Priority Class-III from downstream of KR Nagar Bridge to Confluence of Sangam.
- -In Tamil Nadu, River Cauvery has been identified as PRS under Priority Class-II at Erode near Virapalayam to Pitchavaram.
- -In  Karnataka,  River  Kabini  has  been  identified  as  PRS  under  Priority  Class-V  from Saragur village downstream to water supply intake point to Narasipura town.

As  per  information  provided  by  Tamil  Nadu  Pollution  Control  Board,  based  on  the  monitoring results, appropriate directions are issued to the concerned Urban Local Bodies and authorities to ensure proper collection, conveyance and treatment of municipal sewage through sewerage systems and Sewage Treatment Plants (STPs). Local Bodies including, Erode City Municipal Corporation, Karur Municipal Corporation, Tiruchirappalli City Municipal Corporation, Thanjavur Municipality, Kumbakonam Municipality, Pallipalayam Municipality, Rasipuram Municipality, Kumarapalayam Municipality and Dharmapuri Municipality have established Sewage Treatment Plants (STPs) for treatment of municipal sewage generated within their jurisdiction, to ensure treatment of municipal sewage before entering into the water bodies. The operation of those STPs is regularly monitored by  the  Tamil  Nadu  Pollution  Control  Board  through  the  consent  mechanism  and  periodic  and surprise  inspections.  Tamil  Nadu  Pollution  Control  Board  has  instructed  those  Local  Bodies  to install  Online  Continuous  Effluent  Monitoring  Systems  (OCEMS)  in  the  STPs  for  real-time monitoring of treated sewage quality and to ensure compliance with the prescribed environmental standards.

For establishments generating sewage and falling under the consent requirements of the Kerala State  Pollution  Control  Board,  periodic  compliance  monitoring  is  carried  out  to  ensure adherence to prescribed standards. In the catchment area of river Kabani, at Kalpatta, a Fecal Sludge Treatment Plant (FSTP) with a capacity of 0.01 MLD is presently operational.

Karnataka  State  government  formed  a  Technical  Expert  Committee  in  2024  to  address pollution  in  the  Cauvery  River  and  Kabini  River.  The  committee  studied  sewage  sources contributing  to  the  pollution  and  recommended  both  short-term  and  long-term  corrective measures for  relevant  stakeholders.  The  Karnataka  State  Pollution  Control  Board  has  filed criminal cases against the Mysuru City Corporation and Mysuru Development Authority for releasing  untreated  sewage  into  the  rivers.  Additionally,  notices  were issued to  local  Gram Panchayat in the river catchment areas directing them not to discharge untreated wastewater into stormwater drains or canals that flow into these rivers.

Further,  the  steps  taken  by  the  Government  to  strengthen  the  enforcement  of  environmental regulations and control of water pollution in the country are given below:

1. CPCB directed all SPCBs/PCCs under Section 18(1) (b) of The Water (Prevention & Control of Pollution) Act, 1974 to direct concerned agencies in the State/UT to develop infrastructure for sewage treatment.
2. CPCB issued directions under Section 5 of The Environment (Protection) Act, 1986 to Municipal Corporations of 46 Metropolitan cities and 20 State Capitals for Treatment and Utilization of Sewage for Restoration of Water Quality of River.
3. CPCB issued directions under section 18 (1) (b) of the Water (Prevention and Control of  Pollution),  Act,  1974  to  all  SPCBs/PCCs  for  installation  of  Online  Continuous Effluent  Monitoring  System  (OCEMS)  for  self-surveillance  of  Sewage  Treatment Plants.

As per information provided by National River Conservation Directorate (NRCD), Ministry of Jal  Shakti  (MoJS),  No  funds  have  been  sanctioned  or  released  for  the  conservatíon  and rejuvenation  of  the  Cauvery  River  and  Kabini  River,  specifically  for  pollution  abatement projects,  during  the  last  three  financial  years  under  the  National  River  Conservation  Plan (NRCP).
