📝 Water quality index set to be announced soon
Note4students:
The news card has details on Water Quality Index, a new step in the field of environment pollution control.
Few takeaways:
🔘 Prelims Level: The three models being considered and parameters involved, find out about the present classification
🔘 Mains Level: Nothing as of yet. Let’s hope we have an op-ed coming out soon
Keep tab of this news development.
🔴 Context:
It is being planned to introduce a certain and easy way to find out pollution levels in water.
🔴 Who proposed this?
It is based on the proposal of the Telangana State Pollution Control Board (TSPCB).
🔘 The Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) is working on coming up with a Water Quality Index, on the lines of Air Quality Index (AQI).
🔴 5+ states involved:
A committee has been formed with senior environment scientists from Telangana, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh and other States to formulate models to assess the water quality
🔴 Three models proposed & why?
The members felt that the present classification was not rational.
🔘 The committee has closely studied similar models existing in Australia and Canada
Taking four perimeters into consideration, the committee has developed three different models
Parameters involved.
🔘 The parameters are limited to only four
Since developing an index for water quality is complex than air quality, it is decided to have three different models for lakes and rivers, ground water and coastal waters.
🔘 The committee members also want to classify the lakes, groundwater and the coastal waters across the country based on the Water Quality Index.
👉 Back2basics:
🔴 Central Pollution Control Board
🔘 What: The CPCB of India is a statutory organisation under the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEF&CC)
🔘 When: It was established in 1974. It was established under the Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974.

📝 India becomes associate member of International Energy Agency
🔴 News:
India has become part of IEA Association.
🔴 Significance:
🔘 It will allow the country play a more “visible and influential” role in the global energy landscape.
🔘 The “Activation of Association” is expected to serve as a bridge and platform for wider-ranging and deeper co-operation and collaboration between IEA member and Association countries in the future.
🔘 India’s engagement with the International Energy Agency (IEA) has enhanced over the last two decades and the “Association” status would facilitate it to participate in meetings of the standing groups, committees and working groups that constitute the IEA governance structure.
🔴 ISA:
India also envisages a greater partnership with IEA in taking forward the International Solar Alliance framework to other countries in the world.
🔴 Apprehension?
This membership does not cast any additional obligation on India, however, gives an opportunity for the country to become the voice of the developing countries.
🔴 Information:
Today, IEA is an important part of global dialogue on energy, providing research, data/statistics, analysis and recommendations on the global energy sector
India can also richly gain from IEA’s data gathering processes, survey methodologies and range of energy data, which could enable India in the near future to set up its own robust integrated database agency.
🔴 Green energy:
India’s participation will enrich the energy efficiency and renewable sectors of IEA member and other countries.
👉 Note4students:
Important for prelims. See b2b for IEA. Also note the significance for mains.
👉 Back2basics:
🔴 The International Energy Agency (IEA):
🔘 It is a Paris-based autonomous intergovernmental organization established in the framework of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) in 1974 in the wake of the 1973 oil crisis.
🔘 The IEA was initially dedicated to responding to physical disruptions in the supply of oil, as well as serving as an information source on statistics about the international oil market and other energy sectors.
🔘 The IEA acts as a policy adviser to its member states, but also works with non-member countries, especially China, India, and Russia.
🔴 Mandate:
🔘 The Agency’s mandate has broadened to focus on the “3Es” of effectual energy policy: energy security, economic development, and environmental protection.
🔘 The latter has focused on mitigating climate change.
🔘 The IEA has a broad role in promoting alternate energy sources (including renewable energy), rational energy policies, and multinational energy technology co-operation.
🔘 IEA member countries are required to maintain total oil stock levels equivalent to at least 90 days of the previous year’s net imports.

Coral reefs in India:
The major reef formations in India are restricted to the Gulf of Mannar, Palk bay, Gulf of Kutch, Andaman and Nicobar Islands and the Lakshadweep islands. While the Lakshadweep reefs are atolls, the others are all fringing reefs. Patchy coral is present in the inter-tidal areas of the central west coast of the country.

What is Moonbow? How is it different from rainbow?
A moonbow is a rainbow produced by moonlight rather than sunlight. Other than the difference in light source, its formation is exactly the same as for a solar rainbow: It is caused by the refraction of light in many water droplets, such as a rain shower or a waterfall, and is always positioned in the opposite part of the sky from the moon relative to the observer.

📝 CPI inflation slows to lowest since 2012
👉 Note4Students:
While inflation trend has been on lower side since a year but recent farmer protests in various states signify that there is a huge mismatch between government data and actual situation as the actual benefits of this slowdown have not trickled down to producers. A comprehensive policy in this regard is need of the hour.
From UPSC perspective, following things are important:
🔘 Prelims level:
CPI, IIP, their base years, factors affecting them.
🔘 Mains level:
Policy measures required by various stakeholders in order to provide benefits of lower inflation to everyone, from producers to consumers.
🔴 News:
Retail inflation at 2.18% in May, eased to its lowest level since the Centre began measuring it on a nationwide basis in 2012.
🔘 Separate data showed industrial output expanded by 3.1% in April.
🔴 Reasons behind this trend:
🔘 Slowdown in CPI inflation was driven in large part by cooling food prices.
🔘 Growth in the Index of Industrial Production (IIP) was spurred by the manufacturing sector within which the tobacco and the pharmaceuticals sectors grew the fastest.
🔴 Looming farmer crisis and desired RBI measures:
🔘 It reflects the crisis the farmers are facing because food prices have crashed as a result of bumper crops.
🔘 This does provide stronger grounds for the RBI to revise its interest rates downwards in its next review.
🔴 Upside risks to inflation:
It can be due to three factors-
🔘 Increase in the house rent component in CPI
Implementation of GST, and Announcement of large farm loan waivers and higher deficits of states.
👉 Back2Basics:
Know everything about inflation here.(Prelims worthy)

📝 What is Inflation?
Inflation is defined as a sustained increase in the general level of prices for goods and services in a county, and is measured as an annual percentage change. Under conditions of inflation, the prices of things rise over time. Put differently, as inflation rises, every dollar you own buys a smaller percentage of a good or service. When prices rise, and alternatively when the value of money falls you have inflation.
The value of a dollar (or any unit of money) is expressed in terms of its purchasing power, which is the amount of real, tangible goods or actual services that money can buy at a moment in time. When inflation goes up, there is a decline in the purchasing power of money.
👉 For example
If the inflation rate is 2% annually, then theoretically a $1 pack of gum will cost $1.02 in a year. After inflation, your dollar does not go as far as it did in the past. This why a pack of gum cost just $0.05 in the 1940’s – the price has risen, or from a different perspective, the value of the dollar has declined.
