 Environmental Status of Rajasthan

1.0 General

Rajasthan is the largest State in the country. The Aravali Range, running from northwest to
southeast, divides the state diagonally into two distinct regions, the western arid region and the
eastern semi-arid region. Over 61 percent of the State, mostly in the western part is desert. The
State has only 1.1 percent of India’s total water resources as against 10.5% of the country’s
geographical area and 5.5% of the country’s population. Except for the Chambal, the 13 other
rivers of the State are non-perennial. Precipitation is scanty, and constitutes the only source of
annually renewable water supply. As such, the State is prone to frequent droughts. Rajasthan has
vast mineral reserves of metallic and non-metallic minerals such as zinc, lead, copper, limestone,
marble, granite, gypsum, and also lignite, petroleum and natural gas reserves. The State industrial
policies have progressively sought to exploit these resources by promoting mining and mineral-
based industries. In the industrial sector, the small-scale industries have shown significant growth
which includes primarily textile dyeing and printing, small mining leases, stone crushers, cement
kilns, and agro-processing units.
2.0 Textile industries:
Textile processing units are operating in clusters and contributing lot of wastewater. These units
are located at Pali (approx 551 units), Balotra (approx 400 units), Jasol (approx 69 units), Bithuja
(approx 214 units), Jaipur (approx 250 units), Jodhpur (approx 227 units), Bhilwara (approx 35
units) and Bhiwadi (approx 05 units).The wastewater generated from these units have been treated
in the common effluent treatment facilities (CETPs).
3.0 Common Effluent Treatment Plants (CETPs):
CETPs are established in the industrial areas of Pali, Balotra, Jasol, Bithuja, Jaipur, Jodhpur, and
Bhiwadi in the State. There are 14 CETPs in Rajasthan which are located at Pali (5), Balotra (3),
Jasol (2), Bithuja(1), Jodhpur (1), Bhiwadi (1) and Manpur Macheri (1). The details of the CETPs
are as given below:

4.0 Status of Marble slurry disposal:

Rajasthan is the richest state in the country with regards to marble deposits (1100 Million Tons)
both in quality & quantity. Around 4000 marble mines and 1100 marble processing units, spread
over 16 Districts out of 33 Districts of Rajasthan. The important regions of marble deposits are
Udaipur - Rajsamand - Chittorgarh region, Makrana - Kishangarh region, Banswara - Dungarpur
region, Andhi (Jaipur) - Jhiri (Alwar) region and Jaisalmer region.
The marble slurry generated through processing units was collected improperly & dumped at
any abandoned land and near the roadsides. This practice is adopted by units near to Chittorgarh,
Nimbahera, Neemuch & Shahpura (Alwar) areas. However, due to Government orders on control
of environmental pollution & public awareness, these kinds of activities have reduced & now the
local Marble Associations have identified the disposal sites and the generated slurry is disposed
through tankers at identified sites.

About 1100 marble processing units all over the Rajasthan are generating around 5-6 Million
Metric Tons of slurry every year. To manage this huge inorganic & non-hazardous waste in
gainful/productive use, options were explored. Various stages/options of utilization of marble
slurry are as below:

 Utilization of marble slurry in cement manufacturing

 Production of synthetic gypsum through chemical reaction with marble slurry
 Utilization of Marble slurry dust (MSD) in road construction
 Utilization of Marble slurry as a Low Cost Binder
 Utilization of marble slurry in brick manufacturing
 Utilization of marble slurry powder in mineral grinding plants

Central Pollution Control Board issued directions to 151 highly polluting industries for
CEMS/CWQEMS installation. Out of 151 industries, 121 industries have installed the system
while 30 industries are in process of installation.
6.0 Monitoring of Air and Water quality under NAMP &NWMP
24 stations under NAMP and 126 stations under NWMP are being operated for monitoring of Air
and Water quality, besides monitoring of the ground water quality. All the lakes and rivers are also
covered under NWMP programme.

Polluted River Stretches

Earlier CPCB has identified 08 stretches of river i.e. Banas, Kalisindh, Chambal , Parvati, Chappi,
Jawai, Ujad and Ghaggar as polluted based on the BOD values and categorized in 05 priorities as
under:-
Identified Priority
Polluted Stretch
I II III IV V

01 - - - - 1

Priority Identified polluted Rivers

I (BOD >30mg/l) Banas
II (BOD 20-30mg/l) Kalisindh
III(BOD 10-20mg/l) Parvati

6
 IV(BOD 6-10mg/l) ---
V(BOD 3-6mg/l) Chambal, Chappi, Jawai, Ujad and Ghaggar

The data enclosed at Annexure-C for last five year revealed that most of the times BOD values in all
the river stretches were found less than 3 mg/l whereas only in river Chambal the BOD value were
found between 3mg/l to 6 mg/l two times at Rangpur, five times at Keshoraipatan near Rajrajeshwar
Mahadev Temple and most of the times at Keshoraipatan near Ambedkar Nagar. The BOD values
were found 15.36 at river Parvati one time, 3-6 mg/l at Bisalpur Dam three times, 3-6 mg/l at river
Ujad one times, 3.2 mg/l on 27.07.2011,26.88 mg/l on 30.07.2014 & 7.68 mg/ on 30.07.2012 at river
Kalisindh and 4.6 mg/l on 19.04.2011 at river Gaggar.
In view of above the priorities of polluted river stretched may be revised.

7.0 Common Biomedical waste treatment facilities:

11 CBWTFs were established in Rajasthan and are located at Jaipur, Udaipur, Jodhpur, Alwar,

8.0 Municipal Solid Waste Management

Solid Waste generation in the state is estimated to be 5037 Tons per day; out of which 2491 Tons/day
is collected and treated 490 Tons/day. The state identified 190 municipal authorities [class I: 41 cities,
class II: 13 towns, class III: 58 towns and Class IV: 78 towns]. Municipalities have developed 25
Secured Land Fills (SLFs) and 7 compost plants including the cities of Ajmer, Bhilwara, Bikaner,
Jaipur, Jodhpur, Kota & Udaipur. Out of 13 class-II town/cities, in 7 Municipal Authorities invited bid
documents (DPR) for integrated solid waste management.

9.0 Hazardous Waste Management:

 TSDFs: There are two TSDFs in Rajasthan located at Gudli (Udaipur) and Pachpadra
(Balotra). About 623 industries have taken membership from UCCI in which 285 units are
sending waste to TSDF Udaipur. The remaining units are either sending their waste to newly
commissioned TSDF at Balotra or giving for co-processing to cement plant in Rajasthan.
 Co-processing: There are 10 Cement Plants which have initiated co-processing of hazardous
and non-hazardous wastes and till 2015 about 13,16,496 MT of Hazardous waste and other
non-hazardous waste has been co-incinerated in cement kilns in Rajasthan.
 Captive SLFs and Incinerators: There are 16 captive SLFs and incinerators in Rajasthan for
reuse of hazardous waste as AFR or disposal to the TSDF for safe handling. Previously
Continental Petroleum Ltd., Behror was only a captive incinerator having capacity of 5000
TPA but the utilization was only 10% of the installed capacity. Therefore this incinerator was
allowed to incinerate the incinerable waste of other similar industries also.
10.0 Management of Sewage

The state board has identified total 72 STPs in cities/towns of Rajasthan ,it includes operational 18
STPs of 8 major cities i.e. Jaipur, Jodhpur, Alwar ,Udaipur, Bikaner, Sawai Madhopur, Pali and
Bhilwara.. There are 15 STPs under construction and 39 STPs proposed in the cities/ towns of
