Abstract

Dal Lake, one of the most beautiful lakes of J&K State. During the past few years, large areas of the lake have been reclaimed and the lake has become shallow due to siltation and accumulation of debris. During the past few years, it has been estimated that about 90,000 ton’s of silt flows annually into the lake resulting in large quantities of silt deposits in the Dal Lake. For sustainable development of the lake, dredging of the Dal Lake generated the dredged material in large quantity posing serious disposal and environmental problems all-around the Dal Lake. The problems of Dal Lake and its significance have been well recognized and the scheme for shoreline dredging of Dal Lake has been formulated which generates a huge quantity of solid waste material. Solid wastes are all the wastes arising from human and animal activities that are normally solid and are discarded as unwanted material posing serious disposal and environmental problems. Concern over environmental effects of dredging, disposal and the increasing unavailability of suitable disposal sites, has put pressure for characterization of this material. The main objective of this study is to successfully manage dredged solid waste material in a manner that is protective of human health and the environment in and around the world famous Dal Lake.
