river basin's sustainable
productivity & ecology
- Algal bloom in reservoirs
- High alkalinity of river water in the river basin upstream of Pochampadu dam
- Frequent floods in tail end area of the river basin
- Alkali salts / high pH water run off from ash / red mud dumps of coal fired power stations / bauxite ore enrichment
- Excessive silting of reservoirs due to deforestation and mining activities
