The exercise of geologists is the cause of curiosity in the district. A camp was set up in the garden near the tube well located in Ichna village. Here samples were taken by sediment end coding and sediment core drilling. Two years ago, during the aerial survey of many villages including Sevtha Ichhana, Panara Gopalpur, Saraiya, Agiyouna, the possibility of finding the existence of the extinct river has arisen. In the team from Hyderabad, senior scientists Dr. Prabha Pandey, Dr. Imran Khan, B. Kiran Kumar and Satish Verma had collected samples of soil and other particles by drilling in Sevtha village before Ichhna. According to Dr. Prabha Pandey, the
samples will be tested in the lab located in Hyderabad.

Samples are being collected from wherever the possibility of the river was seen in the survey two years ago by the Halobean Transient Electromagnetic method. A sample will be collected every 10 meters up to 50 meters from the drilling. It will be ascertained in the lab that what is the actual age of the particles, have they gathered from somewhere or have they flown? What was the climate like in that period, how the downfall took place? Years ago, the Central Ground Water Board (CGWB) had drilled a 150-meter deep borehole and installed a system inside it to know the quality of the water, during the initial period.

With this, the quality of water and changes in it can be tested. Agianna will be a village. They also have a van with them. The instruments engaged in it have been connected to the computer.

Posted on

The groundwater department became active after many parts of Prayagraj city came into the red zone.

You may not be aware that only 50 people have been given permission to use groundwater in the district. Despite this, thousands of people are overexploiting groundwater by opening plants and establishments, soon the government will take strict steps in this direction and take action against those who use groundwater without permission. Let us tell you that the condition of the district is not good in this matter. All the blocks including the city have come under red zone regarding groundwater.

Current status of underground water level  :

  • Over Exploited area- Prayagraj City
  • Critical areas- Bahria, Chaka and Bhagwatpur
  • Semi-Critical Area- Bahadurpur, Dhanupur, Holagarh, Mauaima Pratappur, Sahson, Saidabad, Shringverpur Dham
  • Safe Area- Handia, Jasra, Karchhana, Kaundhiyara, Kaudihar, Korav, Manda, Meja, Phulpur, Shankargarh and Soraon.

    This rule must be followed

    • There are many such blocks including the city where the groundwater status has gone down a lot.
    • If appropriate steps are not taken in time, the district may be deprived of groundwater.
    • To prevent over-exploitation of underground water, the government has made a Provision to take NOC under the UP ground water Act 2019.
    • In this, It has to be told how much water is being used daily
    • NOC is valid only for five years. That too on the condition of rainwater harvesting .

      • The level will improve after rain.

      The department says that the water level in the city’s Peepal village, Bailey Hospital, IERT area, Sadar tehsil, head post office and the area around the police line has gone down considerably. If there is good rain, then there will be some improvement in its status. People have to save groundwater from getting depleted by following rainwater harvesting.

      • Need to stop them

      So far, among the 50 people who have been given NOC in the district, Silica sand plant is the maximum. Conditional NOC has been granted to them. While a large number of RO plants and washing centers are being operated. All these are being operated without NOC. The department needs to take action against them. In the last few days, a large number of RO plants have been installed and they are exploiting a large amount of groundwater. Regarding all these issues. There will also be a meeting on groundwater under the leadership of CDO in Vikas Bhavan on Friday. In which strict guidelines will be given regarding the rules.

      • “The advance rules of the government are awaited. After getting the instructions, the act will be strictly followed. During the ground water week, the general public has to be made aware in this direction.”

This year the summer is at its peak in the month of April itself. Due to falling water level in Hatgamharia block, there has been a severe drinking water crisis in the main market and localities. The villagers are drinking contaminated water under compulsion to save their lives. The water with which we do not like to wash our hands in normal days, at present we have to drink that water. The water level has gone down in Munda Basti, Buiya Basti and the main market. After standing near the well for three to four hours, hardly a bucket of water is somehow available. Actually, there is no water in the well. When some water comes up, people put four to five buckets together for water.

People are living somehow by filtering dirty water

Villager Umesh Gagarai told that people are drinking Dirty water from the well without their will. The women filter sand and dirty water with a cloth and bring it to the house. The same water is being used from going to the bathroom to cooking.

All the chapakals and the only water tower in the township are out of order.

There are three public hand pumps in the township, but all are in bad condition. Jalminar has been arranged from the 14th Finance Commission. It is also Out of order for three months. The chief has been informed about this, but to no avail. A chapakal has been made by the people’s donation. Somehow drinking water is being available from this. Even with this, the risk of disease remains.

People preparing for March at BDO office and NH

There is anger among the villagers due to lack of drinking water in the township. The villagers are preparing to surround the BDO office. On the other hand, on NH 75 E, People are in the mood to jam with utensils. Jalminar is ready through PHED at a cost of five crores. That too is proving to be a white elephant. On asking the personnel, they tell that a lot of irregularities are being found in the pipeline. Water is leaking at places. There is a lot of problem in improving it.

Problem Faced by Local People

We start running around for drinking water from 1 a.m. in the night. People stand near the well. It becomes hard to gate Water when it is late. One has to wait hours for a bucket from the well.
– sunita gagrai

All of us women stand in front of wells like this and wait for water. When the water in the well Rises We extract It. There is knee-deep water in the pond, in which they somehow bathe.
– sukmati gagrai

Now we are getting dirty and little water. After a few days even that much water will not be available. If there is no alternative arrangement for water, then the people here will die of thirst. The administration has to pay attention.
– Lakshmi Kunkal

It is very difficult to get water for Drinking and bathing. We stay awake at night for water. Four-five buckets are kept immersed in the well at the same time. All the ponds and wells have dried up. There is knee-deep dirty water in the pond.
– Subani Kunkal

For water, every year one has to suffer like this. Panchayat public representatives do not pay attention. All the chapakal in the township are out of order. The water tower is lying idle. Demand to get it made.
– Shakuntala Pushti

There is water crisis in Hatgamharia market and township. In the morning and in the evening, people go to fetch water from another place with a Container. Panchayat elections are going to be held in a few weeks. No one has thought for public interest.
