NIH scientist conducts summer salinity Evaluation on Mandovi river

KERI: The Roorkee-based National Institute of Hydrology (NIH) on Friday gathered water samples of the Mandovi river and its tributaries to quantify their salinity.
The Union ministry of water sources had arranged the salinity evaluation of this river, and this will be referred to as the Mhadei on its upper reachesa petition by principal minister Pramod Sawant in light of this continuing dispute over water-sharing involving Goa and Karnataka.
“I’ve seen different areas of the Mandovi river, both the Mhadei along with also the Valvonti to gather water samples into measuring salinity.
We brought samples of water through the monsoon last season also.
It was crucial to examine the salinity at the summer until the start of monsoon,” NIH scientist Gopal Krishan told TOI.
The Goa government had expressed concerns on the diversion of water to your Kalsa-Bhandura project to the Malaprabha basin by the Mhadei basin.
The water diversion could contribute to increased salinity from the Mhadei, thus causing environmental concerns, the Goa government has maintained.
There could be raised tidal foundation water flow because of that villagers would undergo environmental issues in addition to degradation of underground water.
Shrikant Patil, leader of Goa’s water resources division told TOI,”To Goa, located on the west shore, the new water stream of rivers coming out of the Western Ghats is very important to keep ecology throughout the monsoon.
Diversion and damming beneath the Kalsa-Bhandura job will have severe consequences on Goa’s ecology, wildlife and environment.
That’s the reason we’ve given significance for the analysis of salinity from the NIH.
” The NIH scientist has been followed closely by Goa’s WRD helper engineer Dilip Naik and junior programmer Agnelo Fernandes.
Karnataka chief minister B Yediyurappa in March was left a funding allocation for its Kalsa-Bhandura job following the award of this Mhadei Water Disputes Tribunal was informed from the Centre.
The hearing Supreme Court in the subject of the special leave petitions filed by Goa, Maharashtra and Karnataka couldn’t occur as a result of Covid-19 pandemic.
Samples were taken in February 2021.
