Udaipur LAKE CITY …….. situated in southern Rajasthan is one of the Beautiful place’s in India
BEAUTY UDAIPUR from years is known for its beautiful lake ,forts and has been a major tourist spot …….
Lakes in Udaipur • Fateh Sagar • Pichola Lake • Rangsagar lake • Swaroopsagar Lake • Badi Lake
Our Main Concern : • Fateh Sagar Lake The Lake is situated in the north of Udaipur city, as apart of the western lake frontage. The lake was constructed in the year 1678A.D. and then renovated in 1889A.D. by Maharana Fateh Singh. The dam of this reservoir is 720m in length and about 100m in breadth. The lake has a catchment area of 53.66km.The greatest depth of the Lake lies near the middle of the dam i.e. 13.4 m. The total spread is 4.0 sq. kms.
Pichola Lake A Banjara chieftain initially constructed the lake in the 14th century. Rana Udai Singh further raised its embankment in 1560 A.D. The water spread of the lake is 6.96 kms. And has a maximum depth of 10.5 m towards the west where the Kotra River drains into the lake. The lake forms the main source of drinking water for the city. The river Sisarma, a tributary of the Kotra is the chief source of water to the lake
Harsh Reality But ……………………in recent years the pollution (majorly water pollution ) level has increased so much that udaipur is loosing its scenic beauty …………..
Surveys Water quality of Fatehsagar lake:
Effects • The aquatic species are suffering the most. Fishes are dying because of non availability of Oxygen since the water surface is covered with watercress . • Also chemical water is directly dumped in the water bodies without any treatment which is affecting aquatic life. • Accumulation of bioaccumulative and non-biodegradable pollutants in animal bodies which is leading to the death of aquatic animals and plants and this effect is than continued in the food chain
Effect on HUMANS : • Increased incidence of tumours, ulcers due to nitrate pollution. • Increased incidence of skin disorders due to contact with pollutants. • Increased incidence of constipation, diarrhea and infections to intestine. • Dangerous effects on growing foetus in pregnant women. • Concentration of pollutants due to bioaccumulative pesticides. through secondary and tertiary food chain in case of non - vegetarians. • Still births, abortions and birth of deformed children. • 'Blue baby' disease caused by methane globinemia - which results in asphyxia (reduced O2 supply). • Reduced activity of immune system. • Loss of memory power and reduced mental sharpness. • Water borne diseases like jaundice, hepatitis, gasteroenteritis will be more prevalent due to water pollution. • Reduced bone development and muscular development. • Reduced male fertility. • Shifts in physiological cycles of human body.
Udaipur Purification Plant: • There are 3 main water purification plants in Udaipur : • Doodh Talai • Jaisamand • Udaisagar We visitedDoodh Talai plant
Step 1- Raw water collection Pic-2 Pic-1 In this step chlorine gas and alum are added in certain amount of ppm depending on tubidity of water.
Step 2- Flux Removal Water flowing from inside to outside tank Pic-3 Pic-4 After first step treatment water is collected in the centre tank and allow to stand. So that the flux formed is seperated. Then this water is pumped from bottom to top in outer tank, known as sedimentation tank. These tanks are 20 ft deep.
Step 3- Filteration Pic-5 contd....
Pic-6 Water from the sedimentation tank is passed into these two filter bed. In these bed the water is passed through the bed of sand and gravels.
By the end of these processes the water is free from macroscopic pollutants. Pic-7 This water is transferred to a storage tank where chlorine gas is passed through it in optimum amount.
Step 4- Storage and Final chlorination Pic-8 This collected water is pumped to different parts of the city.

Measures going on in the city to control this\ • Rajasthan Patrika is running “AMRATAM JALAM” program which is receiving great response from the public • Jheel Sanrakshan Society, Udaipur too is working along with the public cooperation and working at a great pace. • Clubs of udaipur like .. Lions’ Club , Rotary Club , Field Club and many Non Governmental Organisations too are running many programs for saving the beauty of UDAIPUR.
SUGGESTIONS : • Bury or flush pet wastes down the drain. • Recycle as much plastic and other materials as possible. • Dispose of all unused household hazardous wastes at your local disposal site. • Use NATURAL alternatives. • Put litter into garbage cans, never throw it into storm drains or the street.
