Rajasthan government has sanctioned Rs 4.25 crore to start online monitoring on effluent releasing from industries. A command and control centre to monitor the effluent will be set up at the Rajasthan Pollution Control Board under the project.
To keep a check on pollution from industries, the board has come up with the project for which the Raj Comp Info Services Limited has invited tenders. The officials say that real-time censors measuring pollution in 17 types of industries will be installed under the project that would enable the board to monitor effluents regularly and get alarms when levels of pollutions cross danger level.
“The RSPCB wants to remotely monitor effluents in water from Command and Control Center in real time basis. This project would integrate effluent monitoring sensors of different industries with the objective of maintaining standards for effluent discharge as per CPCB guidelines,” said a source informing about the project.
The project will be helping in to collect data of effluent discharge, industry wise effluent discharge and making alarming bells in a situation of effluents polluting. A Command and Control Center proposed under the project would act as a hub for the analysis and dissemination of information collected from industries. With the ever-growing size of cities, ensuring potable water without continuous effluent monitoring seems to be a daunting task. A heightened sense of water quality and ever-increasing challenges require new tactics with more access to the integrated system and centralized information.
“Hence this necessitates the need of designing and implementing Command and Control Center for effluent monitoring at a centralized location. The CCC will act as “nerve center” - a central administrative location from where overall sensors, meters, assets, and activities are monitored and managed,” says the project report.
