CHAPTER 17PERFORMANCE MONITORINGThe programme aims at improving the water quality of river and sanitary conditions in the city.Benchmarks are already available as designated best use quality with regard to the river water quality.The success of the programme would be established if the benchmark water quality is achieved.A monitoring mechanism is to be put in place to monitor the performance of STPs and pumping stationsand their impact on water quality of the river. It would be preferable if the monitoring is done by anindependent agency appointed by the project implementing agency. Engineering educationalinstitutions available in the city or in the State or office of the State Pollution Control Board may beconsidered as appropriate agencies for this purpose.A detailed plan of monitoring the performance of assets as well as the outcome of project, which isreflected in the river water quality, must be prepared covering, among other things, the name of themonitoring agency, parameters to be monitored and their frequencies and presented in the DPR. TheNRCD has a programme of water quality monitoring. This work is assigned by NRCD to reputedacademic / R&D institutions and the NRCD bears the expenses of this work. However, there is a need fora dedicated person to collect data from the monitoring institution, study and analyse it to see if anycorrective measure is required to be taken at the local level. Expenditure on this dedicated cell shouldbe included in the cost estimates.98
