Large number of industries in Bokaro-Dhanbad region of Zharkhand and Asansol-Durgapur region of West Bengal came up in the Damodar river watershed since 1960s. The river system alongwith four major dams receive grossly polluted wastewater from the industries and towns located in the watershed. Subsequent to a similar study in 1994 carried out by several organizations including NEERI, Damodar Valley Corporation (DVC ) desired NEERI to evolve pollution abatement strategies under the present circumstances through detailed water and wastewater analysis as well as appropriate wastewater treatment and catchment management practices to prepare a detailed action plan indicating short and long term measures for protecting the rivers and reservoirs in the Damodar River System while developing Comprehensive Water Use Policy for the basin.
