PANAJI: The large part of the Goa Rivers is influenced by the Ingress of Sea Water, which means they have a high level of salinity.
In this scenario, the state can immediately find itself to process sea water to meet the requirements of drinking water, especially the coastal area.
State Air Policy Design 2021 has recommended that the state must explore the possibility of seawater desalination because even when the cave population develops, the availability of natural resources remains fixed, and most rivers cannot be tapped to meet drinking water needs.
Salinity in many stretch rivers is very much so they are more than rivers than rivers, documents 2021 has stated.
“National water policy emphasizes that the basin must be a unit for all water resources planning.
However, the Cave River Basin is very small.
In many basins most of the rivers are influenced by the entry of sea water, in such a way that in certain basins of the river meet more conditions as rivers, The long sea arm, not as a river, “said policy 2021.
This means that in a small basin near the coast it might not be possible to build water conservation and the transfer structure.
“The possibility of seawater desalination to provide drinking water to coastal areas must be explored,” Recommend.
Have suggested that the state can try to catch sea water intrusion to the rivers with the construction of obstacles across the river as close as possible to the sea.
Rainwater harvesting on the roof, states policy, can be another solution to meet the needs of drinking water on the coast of Goa.
“Harvesting of large-scale roof water by catching out can add freshwater resources, especially in areas where the main rivers are influenced by Ingress salinity.
Therefore, large-scale roofing water harvesting will be promoted in these fields.
Harvesting roof water.
It will also be promoted as part of a river flow development program in rural areas, “the document said.
According to recommendations, harvested rain water can be used directly from storage or can be used to help refill ground water.
“Roofing roof water harvesting is mandatory for a class of building specific.
The policy will be re-examined with the intention of expanding the scope and bringing more classes of building under the obligatory roof harvest,” according to policy 2021.
The new policy document also said that as a significant length Of the majority of the Goa river is influenced by salinity, the Department of Water Resources cannot use conventional methods to estimate water outcomes.
