From how many Ashrams and Hotels, how much quality of sewage loaded into main stem of river
Ganga in Rishikesh and Haridwar is main intention of this study. Total number of people in individual
Ashram and Hotel and water demand per person per day, have measured the quantity of fresh water
consumed. In Rishikesh and Haridwar, 150 to 200 litters of fresh water required per person per day and bore well and Jall Sanstha are the sources of fresh water. Individual Ashrams and Hotels, which consumed fresh water from bore well and Jall Sanstha also have not installed flow meter, confirmed loaded over sewage into main stem of river Ganga routinely. Total 68 and 84% of individuals Ashrams and Hotels are connected with STPs for sewage disposal. But Identified 12 sewage carrying Nallahs and 46 MLD of over flow raw sewage falling into main stem of river Ganga routinely in both Rishikesh and Haridwar and suggested year of the STP established and performance of the STP is inversely proportional.
