The River Yamuna is the major source of water supply to Delhi. It is getting pollution due to household, industrial, agricultural waste, sewage discharge as well as religious activities. Heavy metals are one of the major pollutants which are harmful to human, animals and tend to bioaccumulate in food chain. Use of phytoremediation technique for removal of toxic metals is an ecofriendly and sustainable approach to control water or soil pollution. In this study we tried to depict the pollution status of Yamuna water and its control by phytoremediation. An investigation was conducted to study the physical, chemical and bacteriological analysis of water samples collected from three polluted sites of Yamuna River - Wazirabad, ITO and OKhla, compared to tap water, used as control. The results were analysed and match up to the standards laid by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS). For phytoremediation study, the three aquatic plants Eichhornia, Salvinia and Hydrilla were selected on the basis of their availability in Delhi\'s climatic conditions in Yamuna River. Our results clearly indicated that ITO water sample was the most polluted as the total dissolved solids, turbidity and total hardness were the highest in those samples. Among heavy metals, Arsenic (As) content was ten times higher beyond BIS permissible limit in Okhla sample. Chromium (Cr) content was the highest in Wazirabad, followed by ITO. Plant growth was higher in polluted water than control indicating the high tolerance of the plants to the stress level. Investigation for remediation of heavy metals by phytoremediation is still under progress.<#LINE#>Aina M.P., Kpondjo N.M., Adounkpe J., Chougourou D. and Moudachirou M.

Principal component analysis (PCA) is a statistically method which uses an orthogonal transformation to convert a set of observations of possibly correlated variables into a set of values the of linearly uncorrelated variables called principal components. The PCA has been applied for 13 dimensionless geomorphic parameters of 11 selected watershed in upper and middle Godavari sub basin, Maharashtra (India) in order to group the parameters in different components on the basis of their significant correlations. Results of the PCA shows that first two PC are strongly correlated with some geomorphic parameters. However, the third PC is not found strongly correlated with any of the parameters but is moderately correlated with length width ratio (Lb/Lw). The result clearly shows that due to poor correlation with other, the hypsometric integral and main stream channel slope could not be grouped with any of the component. The principal component loadings matrix obtained using correlation matrix of finally selected eleven parameters reveals that first three components together account for 94.283 % of the total explained variance. The results shows that the PCA is good tool for screening out the insignificant parameters in the study of watersheds hydrologic behaviour like runoff and sediment yield modelling. Therefore, principal component lading matrix is applied in order to get better correlations and clearly grouped the parameters into physically significant components.<#LINE#>Sharma S.K., Gajbhiye S. and Tignath S.

The biodiesel properties such as flash point, volatility and viscosity which affect the combustion process, there by the performance of engine. Biodiesel which is available at higher viscosity than diesel fuel can be injected into the engine cylinder at higher pressures for better atomization that leads complete combustion. Hence experiments were conducted on compression ignition (C I) engine for different injection pressures (IP) to find performance with diesel and diesel-biodiesel (Karanja oil methyl ester/KOME) blend as fuel (50% diesel and 50% biodiesel). The performance of blend fuel D50BD50 at different injection pressures are compared with diesel fuel at 200bar.  The results indicate that the performance of engine is improved with D50BD50 at IP of 220bar compared to other injection pressures. It is observed that brake thermal efficiency is improved by 41.02% due to improved atomization and BSFC is lowered by 2.1%due to lower calorific value. In case of emissions hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide and smoke opacity are reduced by 45.4%, 33% and 33% respectively, where as NOx emissions increased when compared with diesel fuel at IP of 200bar.<#LINE#>Agarwal A.K., (2007),@Biofuels (alcohols and bio-diesel) applications as fuels for internal combustion engine.@J.

Eighteen samples had been collected during the period 2014-2015 in pre and post monsoon and analysed microbiologically by MPN/100ml, Faecal coliform, HPC and faecal streptococci it was observed that 85% of water sources were not up to the mark of Bureau of Indian Standards BIS & World Health Organization (WHO) limit. The water that was collected from spring and well was mostly contaminated, Most Probable Number (MPN) count range between 39-1100MPN/100ml. The mean counts of Faecal coliform in spring, tank and well are  found to be high than bore and the HPC range from 2.22×104 CFU to 6.02×104 CFU and faecal streptococci range from 0.037×104 CFU/100ml to 1.32×104 CFU /100 ml, in spring, tank, well and bore samples. Hence it is resulted, the samples of well, spring and tank were above the prescribed limit of BIS, 2006. Isolated and identified organisms were Escherichia, staphylococci, salmonella, shegeila species, vibrio species, pseudomonas species, aeromonas etc. Thus the results revealed that the frequency of water borne diseases in the area is high in post monsoon season this may be due to the water consumed. Thus the findings of the microbiological water quality suggest that the water sources have direct effect on the health conditions of the tribes. Hence the water from this area is mostly contaminated and suggested to treat properly before it consumed or to look for alternative sources for drinking.<#LINE#>Arunabh Mishra and Vasishta Bhatt (2008).@Physico-Chemical and Microbiological Analysis of Under Ground Water in V.V Nagar and Nearby Places of Anand District, Gujarat, India.@ISSN: 0973-4945; CODEN ECJHAO E-Journal of Chemistry http://www.e-journals.net, 5(3), 487-492.@Yes$Peeler K.A., Opsahl S.P. and Chanton J.P.

A total of three earthworm species-Aporrrectodearosearosea, Aporrrectodeacaliginosa trapezoids and Octalasioncyaneum belong to family lumbricidae were recorded. Out of the three species O. cyaneum exhibited restricted distribution whereas A. r. rosea and A. C. trapezoides were present at majority of the sites. The density and biomass exhibited significant variation (F4 = 6.66; 37.77, P < 0.05) within the sites and among (F3 = 4.77; 15.08, P < 0.05) the seasons with higher values recorded during autumn and spring. Diversity indices- Margalef species richness (0.150-0.679), Simpson’s index (0.370-0.600), Shannon diversity index (0.556-1.102) and evenness (0.872-1.033) also exhibited varied values among the sites with maximum value at site-III. Organic nitrogen showed significant variation within the sites (F4 = 5.43, P < 0.05) and among the seasons (F3 = 6.27, P < 0.05), within the sites in moisture (F4 = 3.39, P < 0.05) and electrical conductivity (F4 = 17.89, P < 0.05) whereas among the seasons in temperature (F3 = 22.88, P < 0.05) and organic carbon (F3 = 10.12, P < 0.05). Organic carbon, organic nitrogen along with moisture favors the diversity of earthworms whereas the temperature affects the overall population dynamics.<#LINE#>Najar I.A. and Khan A.B.

But by the time, the coexistence of industrial sites and cities sometimes lead to major accidents with dramatic consequences. The study aims at evaluating the sanitary risks related to the production of cement by the Cements Society of Benin (SCB) on the populations of the fifth district of Cotonou. Socio-anthropogenic investigations based on individual techniques of interview and direct observation allowed to identify the sanitary risks around the cement factory. The analysis of results is done from deductive method and descriptive approach. The results revealed that around the SCB, the populations experienced some diseases like respiratory pathologies (Asthma 67%, Sharp Respiratory Infections 88%), ophthalmic infections (41%) and dermatitis (48%). Based on those results, one can say that supplementary efforts of integrated investment remain to be done by the authorities and the cements society of Benin (SCB) for a reduction of the pollution sources.<#LINE#>Sohounou M.
