Answer:
Correct Answer: D
Solution:
- Inland water quality-monitoring network is operated under a three-tier programme. Global Environment Monitoring System (GEMS), Monitoring of Indian National Aquatic Resources System (MINARS) and Yamuna Action Plan (YAP). Water samples are being analysed for 28 parameters consisting of 9 core parameters, 19 other physico-chemical and bacteriological parameters apart from the field observations. Bio-monitoring is also carried out on specific locations. In view of limited resources, limited numbers of organic pollution related parameters are monitored for micro pollutants (toxic metals and POPs).
