Tapi basin is the lifeline of Surat city, as it fulfills the majority of its water requirement. Due to the impact of urbanization and industrialization, the water quality of the Tapi basin has been adversely affected. The present study is focussed on assessing water quality of Tapi basin, with the aims: (i) to give an overview of present water quality of Tapi basin, (ii) to determine spatial dissemination of water quality parameters by means of BOD, COD, chloride and TDS, and (iii) to generate map for river water quality in the study area by using GIS. Water quality of the basin was assessed by taking samples from nine locations through the flow path of basin within the assessment area and an interpolation technique, that is, Inverse Distance Weighting (IDW), is used to obtain the spatial dissemination of water quality parameters of the basin. The results indicated that the quality of water is more deteriorated on the downstream side as compared to that of the upstream side. From the assessment of water with GIS and IDW, it is concluded that despite urbanization and industrialization, the quality of surface water is predominately average to unsuitable.

With its provision , concept of adding solar panels to parking lots to produce electrical energy and shade the parking space at the same time we take a case study of vidhyabharti campus, umrakh. The need of electricity in vidhyabharti campus is 300 unit per day. Then we calculated the energy produced by solar panel by providing solar panel of 250 watt with 94kw plant on 671 m 2 area. We calculated total number of solar panel required and the total estimated cost of solar panel. Than we collected data about electricity bill paid by vidhyabharti campus. After all calculation ,we found that total electricity bill of 25 year of vidhyabharti campus is much more than the estimated cost of the solar panel provision on parking lot.

Assessment of surface water bodies is required for growing urban cities like Surat. Due to impact of urbanization, the surface water bodies of Surat City have been adversely affected. The main Scope of study is the qualitative classification of the Creek and Tapi River of Surat City based on the effective qualitative parameters in the Indian water standards for drinking purpose. The study focuses on spatial changes in surface water quality based on a combined examination of physical and chemical parameters.GIS is proper solution for analysing the useful information obtain from spatial and temporal data because this analysis extract information from the available spatial data which can be very helpful in the future decision making. To obtain spatial dissemination of surface water quality parameters (as COD, BOD, pH, DO, Turbidity, EC, TDS, TSS and Chloride), interpolating technique is used. Divya A. Lad | Dr. Mehali J.
