How to use this volume
Solve the paper first, under exam conditions and against the clock. Then read the answers here and mark your own. Reading a solution before attempting the question feels productive and teaches very little, because recognising an answer is not the same as being able to write one.

1.What is "Joint Board" under the Water Act, 1974?[2]
Answer
Meaning. A Joint Board is a single pollution control board for two or more contiguous States. It may also serve a Union territory with neighbouring States. It is provided for by sections 13 to 15 of the Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974.
How it is formed: section 13. It is created by an agreement.
- Between two or more Governments of contiguous States.
- Or between the Central Government, for one or more Union territories, and the Governments of contiguous States.
The agreement runs for a fixed period and may be renewed. It is published in the Official Gazette of each participating State or territory.
What the agreement may provide.
- How the Joint Board's expenses are shared.
- Which Government exercises the State Government's powers under the Act.
- Consultation between the participating Governments.
- Any incidental matters.
Composition: section 14. It has a full-time chairman nominated by the Central Government, with expertise in environmental protection. It also has two officials from each participating State, and a local authority member from each. It includes a non-official from each State for interests such as agriculture or fishery, two members for public sector companies, and a full-time member-secretary.
Directions: section 15. A participating State may give directions only on matters within its own territory. Matters covering two or more States are for the Central Government alone.
Air Act. The Air Act 1981 has no Joint Board provision.
