"Understanding the Carbon Cycle: Processes, Human Impacts, and Strategies for...MMariSelvam4
The carbon cycle is a critical component of Earth's environmental system, governing the movement and transformation of carbon through various reservoirs, including the atmosphere, oceans, soil, and living organisms. This complex cycle involves several key processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and carbon sequestration, each contributing to the regulation of carbon levels on the planet.
Human activities, particularly fossil fuel combustion and deforestation, have significantly altered the natural carbon cycle, leading to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and driving climate change. Understanding the intricacies of the carbon cycle is essential for assessing the impacts of these changes and developing effective mitigation strategies.
By studying the carbon cycle, scientists can identify carbon sources and sinks, measure carbon fluxes, and predict future trends. This knowledge is crucial for crafting policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions, enhancing carbon storage, and promoting sustainable practices. The carbon cycle's interplay with climate systems, ecosystems, and human activities underscores its importance in maintaining a stable and healthy planet.
In-depth exploration of the carbon cycle reveals the delicate balance required to sustain life and the urgent need to address anthropogenic influences. Through research, education, and policy, we can work towards restoring equilibrium in the carbon cycle and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.

UNDERSTANDING WHAT GREEN WASHING IS!.pdfJulietMogola
Many companies today use green washing to lure the public into thinking they are conserving the environment but in real sense they are doing more harm. There have been such several cases from very big companies here in Kenya and also globally. This ranges from various sectors from manufacturing and goes to consumer products. Educating people on greenwashing will enable people to make better choices based on their analysis and not on what they see on marketing sites.
WRI’s brand new “Food Service Playbook for Promoting Sustainable Food Choices” gives food service operators the very latest strategies for creating dining environments that empower consumers to choose sustainable, plant-rich dishes. This research builds off our first guide for food service, now with industry experience and insights from nearly 350 academic trials.
2. Agenda
Why conserve rivers?
Present scenario
Causes of river pollution
Common Pool Resources
Stakeholder Analysis
Property Rights
Satluj river – A case study
Cooum river – A case study
Proposed solution
3. Why conserve rivers?
Importance and uses:
Source of food and water
Power, transportation and infrastructure
Aquatic life and other organisms
Help maintain the ecosystem
River pollution and ecological consequences
4. Present scenario
Untreated sewage disposal and industrial effluents
Some steps taken by government, e.g, Ganga Action Plan
Water Act, 1974; Water Cess Act, 1977
Significance of informal regulation and role of community
5. Causes of river pollution
Ever increasing sewage dumping and other human activities
Ineffectiveness of formal institutions
Gaps in administration and implementation of planned processes
Lack of well defined property rights
6. Common Pool Resources
Resource that benefit group of people
In case of self-interest benefit diminishes
It’s rivalry and Non-excludable in nature
Ex: Land, water, forests etc
River is a common pool resource
Ex: Ganga in case of Varanasi
8. Property Rights
•Duty of government, both state and central
•Individual level tough but collective level easy
•Rights of water, nearby land, fishing
•Accountability for maintaining and cleaning river
•Dependably should be taken into consideration
•Animal’s right should also be considered
9. Satluj river- The case study
What is it about?
How the Clean river Satluj gets toxic as it flows through Punjab?
1. Sutlej's waters, which enters punjab at Bhakra Nangal are rated 'A' class (pure) at Nangal
headworks. At Nangal due to effluents from NFL, PNFC and Punjab Alkalies, its toxity level
increases.
2. At kiratpur sahib, the addition of human ashes (crematory)
3. Ropar (due to effluents from the Ropar Thermal Plant, DCM, Swaraj Mazda and United Pulp and
Paper Mills)
4. Its water become ‘E’ class at the confluence of Budha nullah in Ludhiana .
5. It again becomes D class at when it meets East Bein or Chitti Bein (Rivulets) in the doaba region
ahead of Jalandar.
10. Budha nallah: How it affects satluj?
Budha Nullah flows into Satluj at Ludhiana, the total coliform concentration just upstream of the
junction in the river is 500 per 100 millilitre of water
However, after confluence of Budda Nullah with Satluj, the concentration of T coliform reaches a
staggering 65,000 per 100 ML of water. Here the fecal coliform concentration also reaches
40,000 per 100 ML. Sources revealed that the high concentration of F coliform could be harmful
even for the food chain if that water were to be used for irrigation of crops.
15. Actions by Government Bodies
1. Punjab water supply and Sewerage board
Installation, Upgradation, Operations and maintainance of STPs (STP Balloke 105 MLD, STP
Bhattiyan 160 MLD, STP JamalPur 48 MLD). Also, Laying of sewer lines in remaining areas and
connecting with the Sewerage treatment facilities/ But the facility required is
2. Department of Industries and commerce
Installation and commisioning of 3 CETP’s for dyeing clusters (CETP of capacity 15 MLD at
Bahadake road)
3. Municipal corporation, Ludhiana
Removal of MSW lying dumpled along the banks of Budha nallah and its transportation to the
earmarked MSW disposal sites. Also, Removal of MSW lying under/ nearby various bridges
crossing Budhah nalla
4. Deputy commisionar, Ludhiana
Diversion of sullage of villages
5. Department of Forest
Greening of banks of Buddah nalla
16. Action of Govt.. Cont.
6. Punjab Pollution control board
Installation of Green villages
18. Why this Case study?
• The most polluted river of India - report by Businessinsider.uk
• Aquatic organisms can’t survive even if after diluting the water 10 times
• Now “Cooum Crocodile” can be seen only in Museums
• Perfect example Common Pool Resource(CPR)
20. Littoral Drift
Property of sea water to move the sand along the coast, in this case the sand moved from south
to north
• Sand Bar formation attributed to the construction of
Chennai port in the year 1881
• Accumulation of sand along the south of harbour
• Negative Externality
• Problem haunting since 1900s
• 11 different projects between 1904 - 2014, with an
estimated cost of nearly Rs10,000 crore with no
improvement
• Impact on health of people
21. Possible solution
National institute of Ocean Technology suggested a groyne(breakwater) as the solution for the
formation of Sand Bars
Cooum eco-restoration project carried out by CRRT under CCRCP, as a part of this Parks are
being built along the banks of the river to restore beauty
Current restoration project costs Rs3834 Crore
A well defined property rights
Strict action against industries/Firms which abuse river
Construction of fences
22. 8 Principles of Managing Commons-
Elinor Ostrom
Define clear group boundaries.
Match rules governing use of common goods to local needs and conditions.
Ensure that those affected by the rules can participate in modifying the
rules.
Make sure the rule-making rights of community members are respected by
outside authorities.
Develop a system, carried out by community members, for monitoring
members’ behaviour.
23. Continued
Use graduated sanctions for rule violators.
Provide accessible, low-cost means for dispute resolution.
Build responsibility for governing the common resource in nested tiers from
the lowest level up to the entire interconnected system.
So, we will be tracking the journey of satluj through punjab.

3. Buddha Nullah is a seasonal water stream, which runs through the Malwa region of Punjab, India, and after passing through highly populated Ludhiana district, it drains into Sutlej River.
Kiratpur> Rupnagar district of Punjab.
Coliform bacteria are a commonly used bacterial indicator of sanitary quality of foods and water
Total cofiform, Fecal coliform and E.coliform are the indicators of drinking water quality.
Ludhiana city has about 250 large and medium scale units and 41,116 small scale units. Electroplating, heat treatment, cycle manufacturing, hosiery, machine parts, vegetable oils, dyeing process and chemical industries are the major categories. Nearly 22,000 industrial units of different categories are a major source of pollution.
Twelve number of water samples spatially located in three different zones, zone I (upstream), Zone II (in the city) and zone III (downstream) were collected.The samples were analyzed for quality parameters such as pH, EC(Electrical conductivity) , BOD(Biochemical oxygen demand), COD(Chemical Oxygen demand), TS(, TDS(Total dissolved solids), TSS, Ni, Cd and Pb
COD> TO indirectly measure the number of organic compounds in water.
Biochemical oxygen demand> Biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) is the amount of dissolved oxygen needed by aerobic biological organisms in a body of water to break down organic material present in a given water sample at certain temperature over a specific time period. The term also refers to a chemical procedure for determining this amount.
I know this water pollution is surely killing the marine life (52 species of the fish found immediately downstream of buddha nallah junction with sutluj have all gone extinct)BUT sutluj is the major source of irrigation for the malwa region and due to this these toxins are also entering our food system that too in the quantity which is way higher than the prescribed limit.
It is the different toxics from this water apart from killing the marine life with this water is also entering our food chain when this water is used for irrigation.I am not saying that heavy use of pesticide and fertilizer is also not an important factor for the rising number of cancer patients.
