In this section, the description of existing environmental status of the study area with reference to the prominent environmental attributes is presented. The data were collected from both primary and secondary sources. Primary source data were collected through environmental monitoring in the study area. For reconnaissance survey the sampling locations were identified based on: Existing topography and meteorological conditions. ocations of water inta!e and waste disposal points. ocation of human habilitation ocation of sensitive areas present in the vicinity "epresentative areas for baseline conditions. #ccessibility for sampling $econdary data were collected from various organi%ations to substantiate the primary data. The data thus collected were compared with the standards prescribed for the respective environmental parameters.
