Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) to clean Sabarmati riverbed
The Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) will conduct a thorough bio-remediation of the Sabarmati riverfront in the coming months. This process involves cleansing the river of biological and chemical wastes including that on the riverbed using environment friendly methods.
The process has become necessary as the river will soon host an aquatic life and will conduct water sports too. A firm has also approached the Sabarmati Riverfront Development Corporation Limited (SRFDCL) for taking up the work and will give a presentation before SRFDCL board regarding the scientific process.
Over years, a large amount of waste water has been discharged into the river which has caused pollution of the overlying water and sediment in the river. The pollutants now trapped within the river bed sediment will be released into the water whenever there is activity in the riverfront. This needs to be prevented in future.
There are at present a team of 25 odd labourers who are cleansing the river of algae and weed growth in the river. Sea weed and algae can be harmful to aquatic life. We also have to ensure that the water is of 'bathing quality', according to national CPCB standards. This will sustain aquatic life.
On another front, the SRFDCL will open the road stretch on the west bank between Subhash bridge and Dudheshwar bridge on August 15. Along with the road stretch is the inauguration of a garden which features a unique sun-dial. In the entertainment section, the SRFDCL will install the zip-line in the next two months, while launching its much touted amphibian bus which is pending approval from the union road transport and shipping will be delayed, as the contractor has bought a three-year-old vehicle.
