Abstract- Kanh river is most important river of Indore which became sewage line. The smart city project has rejuvenated Kanh river & BAKC is helping to irradicate the toxic heavy metals from the soil. The waste water physio chemical parameters are studied. Now the river which was nallah is free from sewage & garbage and it has taken new form.
Keywords: Rejuvination, sewage, garbage, physio chemical parameters, heavy metals.
1 INTRODUCTION
Kanh river which became sewage line at 90's as Indore was developing drastically.
Indore is the cleanest city of India as per
"Swatchata Sarvekshan". But moving in the city, a sewage stream is being followed. It was well known as Khan Nallah, which became serious issue for river rejuvination to upgrade quality life of human beings the most important part is water with purity. River are the best source of drinking water to achieve best life it was needed that Kanh river should be reinstated. The degradation of Kanh river happened because of drastic industrial & population growth. Round about 300 industries are polluting Kanh since 90's.
I.M.C. Indore Municipal corporation has started to develop river front removing sewage & treating sewage from Rajwada (main old Indore) to Gangaur Ghat.
We should always remember that cleanliness is next to godliness.
Approx. 250 million litre of sewage was falling into Kanh river which was refrained by IMC by the installation of riverside corridor project.
From this sewage plant power is generated via hydro power screw generator. The plant has installed power generator capacity of around 25th KW to 36 KW. But in 2018 the plant was shut due to some technical reasons.
But now is 2021 the water sludge treatment plant would be set up in one acre of land. BAKC is going to provide all technical & scientific support for setting up sludge hygeniastion plant, the dry sludge will be converted into manure/ bio fertilizer.
The sludge produced is having toxic heavy metals.
Organic pollutants & heavy microbial load
& their disposal is becoming a challenge.
2 METHODOLOGY
The technology developed by BARC is to crush dry sludge by exposing to a radiation dose which involves cobalt 60 gamma radiation with the help of cobalt 60 gamma radiation all the toxic elements are killed & then it is safe to use.
In next step the sludge is treated with micro organisms to convert it into bio fertilizer.
The toxic metals obtained in Kanh river are arsenic cadium, chromium mercury, Nickle, lead (pb)
Sampling sites: Sampling sites for waste water was collected from Kanh river (1) Harsiddhi (2) Kabit Khedi (3) Pancham ki Phel (4) Chhavni (5) Pagnispaga.
Physio chemical parameters of water sample.
Both physical & chemical parameters were checked & recorded after collecting from 5 places of Indore.
The temp pH, conductivity &
turbidity were recorded. The standard limits of waste water was reffered as recommended by WHO.
The data was collected on SPSS software & computing of standard deviation and (SD) mean (m) & mean standard error (SE) for the different samples was performed.

4 DISCUSSIONS
The range of heavy metals is very high near Kabit khedi regrow of Kanh river.
Now the rejuvination is done by IMC as by collecting waste door to door. Closing open ends in the river, cleaning garbage from river & its being digged deep so that the contamination can be overcomed.
