DIRECTOR'S REIIOR?A developing country like India faces environmental problems in

the process of ievelopment itself, especi:ally due to rapid industrialisation

and -urbanisation.

Each country shoutd establish its own priorities, crite-

ria, regulations and models to pr€s€rve the quality of -its environment,

while managing the resources for the well-being of its citizens'

The concern for environment in India has lagged behind the concern

for higher level of economic growth. Economic growth and associated

activities should. be environmentally compatible. The factors responsible

for environmental pmblems in India are lack of protected water supply

and sanitation, inadequate housing, malnutrition and inadequate educa-

tional and health facilities. Physical factors can be removed or improvedupon by appropriate technologicai development and it is in this field thatN-nnnf las io play an inrportant role. Socio-economic factors are slow to be

changerl, and the nation has to deal with them as a whole; but still theInstitute has to keep a close watch and give due consideration to the fastchanging social values.

The pace of change of physical factors may be as crucial for success

as the change itself. Some elements in the cuffent pattern of growth have

to be looked into critically and corected immediately, if necessary'

Failure,to take remedial measures, may lead to acute environmental pro-blems however vital the devetopmental activity may be. Hence the pat-tern of development should be suited both to the country's needs andenvironmental compatibilitY.

Scientific investigation into €nvironm€ntal problems of the countrybecomes an important activity of NEERI. This would lead to the develop-ment of teehnologiaal innovations to contain and combat the impacts ofdevelopmental activities on ,the environment. Emphasis has to be laid orithe transfef of technology for adaptation by the user agencies.

Traditional research and development activities of the Institute sinceits inception in 1959, have resulted in the development of appropdateprocesses to combat environmental pollution of the water bodies. Solidwaste manag€ment systems have been developed for adoption by Indianciti€s. Air quality monitoring programmes and emission inventories incritical regions have been conduoted. These activities have resulted inbuilding up of the Institute's capabilities.

It may be m€ntioned here that identification of physical factorsresponsible for urgent environmental problems in India and their solutionshas been the main activity of NEERI. Tteatment methodology of severalindustrial wastes and processes of wat€r treatment and puriffcation, fall inthis category. This experience of the Institute has enriched it sufrcientiyto embark upon a programme vrhich will help to develop an integratedapproach in preserving environmental quality.

(i)

Liaison qrith national and international agencies engaged in similarfields, is an essential activity of the Institute. AdmlnistratJrs and plannershave to be ellightened on the.pcssible impact on the environmenial &deveJopmental proj€cts. This is being carried out by dissemination of theresults of research ;through publications, serninars and training in variousfacets of environmental sciences and interaction of human activities withthe environ.

The National Environmental Engineering Research lnstitute is onein the chain of national laboratories/institutes under the CSIR. TheDirector of the Institute is the Chief Executive and directs research pro_gr'ammes to fulfill the objectives. He prepares the annual budget and isresponsible for the programme execution within the Insti,tute. The Exe_cutive Committee is the manag€ment authority, with the Director as itsChairman.

There are nine Zonal Laboratories under the administrative contolof the Director which are meant to identify the regional problems andserve as extension c€ntres.

_ Dudng the year the trnstitute has gained a good deal of experienceby. pursuing ?5 research projects of which 3g were iponsored by public andprivat€ sector industries; eight collaborative proiects and ?3 consultancy"YST"1I-:.- National pmjects on algee and qgmplete treatment of nighi

The Institute has,been rec'ognized as a crollaborating c€ntr€ for SouthEast Asia by WHO in the ffelds of Air pollution, Commr.riity wat€r supply -and Waste ffiFffi6f: al,s;,fiaf - J'.ritrhaa

A project on slow sand filtration for rural c.ornmunities has beenundertaken in collaboration with the International Reference qrntre inCommunity Water Supply of WHO, the Hague, Netherlands. In the first!h"T o{ the,programme, appli€d. rcsearch was undertaken to developpraotical guid€trin€s for design, construction and operation of slow sandfilters _appropriate to tmpical conditions. This vdri be followed by fu[-scale demonstration prants in serected v rages indiEerent parts ;i l"il.The.i1 ferform-a,nces and operational aspects will tre evaluated for widerapplication' A repori on the design, construction and operation of srowsand fflters has been submitted.

v Th€ Institute participated in the Urrited Nations Environment pro_gramrne by completing a project on ,Identification and h.eparation of anrnventory of organisations having capabilities in Air & water po[ution3od- bllq i" ESCAp Region'. This Institute is continuing to par,ticipatein the WHO/UNEp Air euality Monitoring project under the GlobatEnvironmental Moni,toring System programme. -

r' Integrated rural development being a nationel programme, ruralsanitation forrns a pa'!:t of the system. rn order to maki a success of sucha pmgranm€' active participation of the rocar commrnity is essentiar. Inone of the pilot pmjects, NEERI construcH. g00 hand-fiushed water-seal

REPORT OF ACTffHY GROTIPS ATHEADQUARIER.S

The R & D activities of this group are directed towards evolving methods ofmeasurement of air pollutants, introduction of reliable and effective procedures forcalibration in air quality monitoring. These activities in turn will help evolve effectivedesign criteria for air pollution control and arrive at permissible levelJ of air pollutantsunder Indian conditions. Meteorological parameters, especially in the domain ofmicrometeorology have an impodant bearing on the dispersion pattern of pollutants.Development of relevant methodology for reeord.ing these parameters and incorporat-ing in air guality data analysis and interpretation, forms a part of the activi.ty of thisgroup. 1u/

scientific methodology to monitor the air quality in Bombay ancl calcutta metro-politan areas constituted two major activities during the year. Technical expertise isbeing provided to the Bombay Municipal Corporation to set up air quality monitoringstations and surveillance laboratory-

Tab]e 1.1 surrmarises the activities of this group. I,t is relevant to note that about5 years of continuous monitoring is a pre-requisite for arriving at meaningful conclu-sions on ambient air quality of a region. euantitative data analfsis in the nationalair quality monitoring network could be taken up after sufficient data is collected. pro-jects sponsored by different agencies have been evaluated-

The R & D activities of this Group have been directed to evolve simple methodsto ensure safe potabls water. This effort involves removal of suspended arid dissolvedimpur'ities from water. Accurate and rapid estimations of toxic metals, non-metals andions, are a pre-requisite for evaluating various treatment processes. Based on pilotplant studies, detailed engineering designs for industrial water treatment are under-taken. Development of package water treatment plants is in progress. Signiffcantattainments of this group are the completion of first phase of the prJject to levelopsuita'ble membranes, standardisation of analytieal -ethods for deleterious substanceilike arsenic, boron and selenium, by various techniques. ,-

JAIPUR ZONAL LABORATORY

Rajasthan has water quality problems ,besides water scarcity. The problems aredue to dissolved ions mostly fluorides, chlorides and nitrates. The soils are sandy tosandy loam with little water retentivity. They are alkaline and deficient in cationswhich reduce the agricullural yield. With these important factors in mind, projects onfluorosis survey. nitrate occurtence and installation of meehanical composting plantswere completed either in collaboration with State Government agencies or the head-quarters. The brief report is given in Table 2.6.
