This project quantifies the amount of tax that should be levied on the citizens of Delhi to preserve and maintain the health of the River Yamuna in its most natural state.

2. ABSTRACT
• Every Human Being and citizen of a territory
has a responsibility to preserve the natural
environment in its original state, which
requires maintainance and efforts.
• This project quantifies the amount of tax that
should be levied on the citizens of Delhi to
preserve and maintain the health of the River
Yamuna in its most natural state.

3. The Important Variables Involved
• Ex = Average Cost of Maintainance of
Exploitation by tourists per month
• Ae = Area of Territory Exploited by tourists
• En = Number of tourists visiting the
territory per month
• C = Cost of Maintainance per unit area per
month
• A = Area of Natural Resources

4. The Important Variables Involved
• P = Population of the Territory
• Bpl = People Below Poverty Line
• Tx = Taxation proposed per person per year
** It is important that taxation is only levied on
the financial healthy citizens of the territory
and the people below poverty line are
exempted from the taxes. **

5. Maths Applied
• The Two Major Mathematical Laws that are
applicable in the present scenario are:
1. Law of Proportionality
2. Law of Averages
** The Data collected from various sources in
the present matter are relied and are used to
present this application. **

6. Government – People Partnership
• The present arrangement proposed has Two
Partners, where, the initial cost of setting up a
project is borne by the government, also
known as “Fixed Investment”.
• And Working Cost per month is borne by the
citizens and the people enjoying the territory.
• This Taxation levied on the people is part of
working cost per month proposed in this
project.

7. Ex = Cost to Maintain Exploitation by
the tourists.
• In Delhi, (Ex ) are the Funds required to
Manage Air, Water and solid wastes
contributed by the tourists visiting Delhi per
month.
Ex a Tx

8. En = Number of Tourist visiting Delhi
• In Delhi, every month around 35,00,000
number of people visit, where, they exploit
the city by polluting air, water and add to solid
waste of the city.

9. Ae = Area of Territory Exploited by the
Tourists
• As we have considered the area exploited by
the tourists, therefore, the total area of the
roads in Delhi is Directly Proportional to the
cost of Taxation.
Ae a Tx
• Ae = Total Area of Roads in Delhi

10. C = Cost of Maintainance per Unit
Area of Natural Resource per Month
• Each Month, a certain amount of cost is
incurred to maintain natural health of River
Yamuna by cleaning the air, solid and liquid
waste passed and dumped into the river.
C a Tx

11. A = Area of Natural Resource
• Total catchment area in Yamuna is 1485 sq km
as per CPCB, 2006 Survey.

12. (P - BPL) = Population in Delhi minus
Below Poverty Line Population
• The Total Population of Delhi as per 2011
census is 16.8 million.
• The Number of People in Delhi below poverty
line in 2011-12 as per Delhi Government Data
is approximately 17 lakhs.

13. Mathematical Formula
• The Formula Proposed to levy taxation per
year for maintainance of River Yamuna from
the citizens and the tourists is as follows:
