25. Water Quality of NCR, UP Sub Region
The River Water Quality is marked by low values of Dissolved Oxygen (DO) and high values of Bio Chemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) and Total Coliforms.
The Water quality of River Hindon and Kali (E) in Meerut and of River Hindon in Noida is Alarming.
The presence of high values of Total Coliforms indicate the state of sewage pollution.
Regular Monitoring of Industries is being done in order to ensure proper operation of ETP.

26. Status of Supply of CNG in NCR, UP Sub Region
For improvement in ambient air quality, it is necessary to switch over to cleaner fuel like Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) in place of conventional fuels like Coal / Diesel etc..
The scenario of CNG supply in cities of National Capital Region is as illustrated below –
Ghaziabad
CNG is being supplied by M/s IGL.
25 numbers CNG Stations are established.
Approximately Kg/day CNG is supplied for Vehicular consumption.
CNG is also supplied for domestic house hold/industrial use.
Meerut
CNG is being supplied by M/s GAIL.
02 numbers CNG Stations are established.

27. Status of Supply of CNG in NCR, UP Sub Region
Noida
CNG is being supplied by M/s IGL.
16 numbers CNG Stations are established.
Approximately Kg/day CNG is supplied for Vehicular consumption.
CNG is also supplied for domestic house hold / industrial usage.
Greater Noida
06 numbers CNG Stations are established.
Approximately Kg/day CNG is supplied for Vehicular consumption.

28. Future Action Points for Environmental Pollution Control & Monitoring in NCR (UP Sub Region)
Action Plan for improving the overall environmental quality has been made for Ghaziabad and Noida and is under implementation.
The activities in action plan cover both long term and short measures for control of water pollution, air pollution and land pollution.
The progress of implementation of action plan is being monitored by inter departmental committee of concerned departments headed by District Magistrate.

29. Future Action Points for Environmental Pollution Control & Monitoring in NCR (UP Sub Region)
In Ghaziabad & Noida, 02 (01 in each city) Continuous Automatic Ambient Air Quality Monitoring Stations are proposed to be set up jointly by CPCB & UPPCB on 50:50 cost sharing basis. The cost of each station is Rs crore. UPPCB has sent its acceptance to CPCB on Parameters like PM10, PM2.5, SO2, NOX, CO, Ozone, Benzene, Toluene, and Xyelene will be monitored continuously.
