AMBIENT AIR QUALITY MONITORING-

NAMP: National Air-quality Monitoring Programme (NAMP), financed by the Central Government, aims to assess the ambient air quality in the state. Under this programme eleven monitoring stations have been established at different locations in the state. Air quality within industrial, commercial, residential and silence zones are being monitored from these stations. The stations are:

DISTRICT	ZONE
DISTRICT	INDUSTRIAL	COMMERCIAL	RESIDENTIAL
THIRUVANANTHAPURAM	CHACKA	SMV SCHOOL	SASTHAMANGALAM
KOTTAYAM	CHINGAVANAM	KOTTAYAM
ERNAKULAM	IRUMPANAM ELOOR	KALOOR
PALAKKAD	KANJIKODE

AMBIENT WATER QUALITY MONITORING

All pollution control activities ultimately aim at maintenance and restoration of the quality of the natural resources. Hence knowledge of the ambient quality of resources is a prerequisite for planning and execution of pollution control management strategies. The Board maintains a network for monitoring of the ambient quality of the rich and varied water resources of the state. There are 3 major schemes for ambient water quality monitoring with the Board. They are

1. Global Environmental Monitoring Scheme (GEMS)

Sponsored by the WHO the scheme covers 6 river stations and 3 ground water stations

2. Monitoring of Indian National Aquatic Resources Scheme (MINARS)

Sponsored by CPCB the scheme covers 24 river stations 10 backwater/lake stations and 12 ground water stations

3. Ambient Water Quality Monitoring Scheme (AWAQUMS)

This scheme covers stations monitored by the Board on its own and includes 73 river stations including a few brackish water ones and number of stations are being further increased by bringing more rivers under this scheme.

On the whole there are 128 river stations ground water stations and lake stations maintained by the Board in the state under all the ambient water quality monitoring schemes. This extensive monitoring network covers more than 90% of the inland water resources of the state. The table below provides the details of the monitoring network of the Board under various schemes.
