Judicial Directives vs Ground Realities: Water Pollution Trends in Najafgarh Drain and Yamuna River (August 2019– August 2023)
type: item
description: Background: The Yamuna River is a very important resource of water for the people of Delhi is still oneof the most polluted rivers in India.Najafgarh Drain (Sahibi River), which is its tributary, carries almost 60%of the pollution load in March- 2020. The National Green Tribunal gave strict order to stop illegal water pollutingindustries and made sure that effective treatment systems to workproperly. Then came the COVID-19lockdown which gave us a rare chance to study the effect of reduced human activity on water quality ofthe Yamuna River. Aim: This study looks at how well judicial orders worked to improve the water quality bycomparing pollution trends in Najafgarh Drain and the Yamuna River during the pre-COVID lockdownand post-lockdown periods. Methods: Monthly water quality data (COD, BOD, TSS for Najafgarh Drain and COD, BOD and DO for Yamuna) fromAugust 2019 to August 2023 were studied. We used basic statistics, time series, trends andinterrupted time series approach with March 2020 as the point when the judicial orders started. Wecompared the pollution trends with judicial orders to see the impact of enforcement. Results: There were some temporary improvement during April to July 2020 with COD and BODshowing a significant drop and DO in the Yamuna River going up to 4.2 mg/L for a brief period. However, theseimprovements did not last long. By 2021–2023, COD in the Yamuna Riverwent over 270 mg/L and BODexceeded 70 mg/L. Najafgarh drain showed COD over 350 mg/L and BOD above 80 mg/L. DO in theYamuna dropped back to zero, showing the river was still in bad condition and required moreimprovements. Trends clearly showed that pollution of Najafgarh drain directly impacted waterquality of the river Yamuna and responsible for its bad condition. Conclusion: This study shows that there is still a big gap between judicial orders and real world results.Even though there were strong court orders, pollution worsened after 2021. This shows that legalorders alone can’t fix the…

How Do Recursive Numeric Residues and Base-2 Modular Offsets Naturally Mirror the 57-Cell's Structural Symmetry?
type: item
description: The research examines how recursive numeric residues, base-2 modular symmetry, and offset normalization naturally generate numeric patterns closely aligned with the structural symmetries of high-dimensional geometries, particularly the 57-cell. Employing a fibristic and Mohandase methodological framework, the study systematically traces numeric relationships emerging from simple recursive operations and decimal residues, notably around prime offsets such as 19. By explicitly analyzing numeric normalization and diagonal offsets, the investigation reveals harmonic proportions and numeric alignments that inherently reflect established geometric and group-theoretic configurations, including PSL(2,19). Rather than positing theoretical novelties, this exploration transparently synthesizes observed numerical alignments that closely resonate with known polytope structures. Comprehensive numeric analyses, along with detailed appendices, clarify these naturally arising structural resonances, establishing a clear, jargon-free basis for further empirical visualization and computational validation presented in subsequent research.
