Pollution concerns,
river basin's sustainable
productivity & ecology

Algal bloom in reservoirs
High alkalinity of river water in the river basin upstream of Pochampadu dam
Frequent floods in tail end area of the river basin
Alkali salts / high pH water run off from ash / red mud dumps of coal fired power stations / bauxite ore enrichment
Excessive silting of reservoirs due to deforestation and mining activities
