Public places like Bus Stand, Railway Station, commercial premises and shopping complexes have been observed with the un-lifted solid waste dumps
Construction and demolition waste is being dumped in open land without proper treatment and handling
Open defecation is an old problem in Barshi town resulting in un-hygienic conditions and health issues

DPSIR FrameworkDPSIR Framework
The Driving force – Pressure – State – Impact – Response (DPSIR) framework used in this situation analysis, assumes cause-effect
relationships between interacting components of social, economic, and environmental systems.
The DPSIR framework attempts to answer five questions that are
What is happening to the environment and what are the reasons for the pressures exerted on it?
What are the consequences for / impacts on the environment and humanity?
What is being done about it and how effective are these actions?
What could be alternative futures for unwarranted unsustainable development?
What are the alternative actions to be taken?

Impacts of Pressure on Natural Impacts of Pressure on Natural ResourcesResources
Air pollution –
At present there is no statistical information available for number of people
affected by air pollution and suffering from respiratory diseases. It is proposed to track such records for future use in ESRs
Water Pollution –
Last year, there have been approximately 100 cases of water-borne diseases
such as diarrhea.
Unhygienic and damp conditions also result into malaria. There are 5 recorded cases of malaria in year 2009.
Ground water is getting depleted due to over extraction of water from ground water resources.
Land
Land is degraded due usage of untreated sewage for agricultural purpose
Land degradation also results in surface and ground water pollution by leaching
of pollutants into the soil and to the ground water aquifer
