BACKGROUND
Indiscriminate and wanton withdrawal of groundwater has led to
depletion of water table at a steady rate every year in India. The problem
is compounded further due to huge disposal of industrial effluents, causing
contamination of available water resources and destruction of aquatic lives.
Inspite of heavy rainfall in some parts of the country, we have not been
able to harness the excess water in a useful manner, as is evident from
simultaneous draughts and floods in different parts of India.
Our Honourable Prime Minister and President of CSIR, Shri. A.
B. Bajpayee, has drawn attention of the scientific community towards this
imbalance and made a fervent appeal to meet this challenge.
National Metallrugical Laboratory(NML), Jamshedpur, has been
working actively on the appraisal of groundwater pollution and its
mitigation and treatment of industrial effluents for the last more than ten
years. It has also been active in protecting water pipes from corrosion
through cathodic protection, as also in developing corrosion inhibitors,
various organic and mettalic coatings for corrosion protection of the steel
pipes. In keeping with the appeal of Honourable Prime Minister and the
requirement of the nation, it has been decided to hold a two day National
Seminar in Hindi at NML, on treatment and conservation of water with special
emphasis on groundwater for the purpose of drinking.
The target groups for this Seminar are Scientists, Engineers,
state PHEDs, NGOs, Academics, working on water and sanitation and social
workers.
