Sal River

The Sal River is a small river in Navelim, Goa state. The central government has approved a project under its National River Conservation Plan (NRCP) to abate pollution of river Sal at an estimated cost of Rs 61.7 crore. Cost of the project, covering setting up of sewage treatment facilities and sewer network, will be shared equally between the Centre and state government

Note:

The Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) had in 2015 identified the river stretch at Navelim as one of the 302 polluted river stretches across the country based on bio-chemical oxygen demand (BOD) levels – a key indicator of organic pollution showing water quality.
