  • Conservation of Water Heritage in Kathmandu Metropolitan City 1
    Conservation of Water Heritage in Kathmandu Metropolitan City Sujama Khadge, Sudarshan Raj Tiwari Department of Architecture and Urban Planning, IOE, Central Campus, Pulchowk, Tribhuvan University, Nepal Corresponding Email: [email protected] Abstract: Water sustains life on earth. Water was supplied in earlier times by understanding the natural topography and utilizing all natural materials, forms and features to develop a highly engineered water supply system which is evident in the traditional water supply system of the Kathmandu Valley. Not only the construction but also maintenance was forethought and responsibilities were given to the families, community and city level by intertwining the maintenance and public welfare into religious and cultural practices organized annually. The study focuses on the scenario of water heritage (ponds, hities or stonespouts and wells) and their linkages in the city core sector of Kathmandu Metropolitan City. The water heritage have served centuries of civilization and are still in operation. But, ignorance of the locals towards traditional water supply system due to modern household water supply has led to the defunct condition and loss of water heritage. Nevertheless, the conservation approaches has revived some of the water heritage and there is a possibility of conserving water heritages. The positive approaches, ground water recharge, source conservation and surface water management would add to the sustainability of water heritage and give the utilitarian value to the water heritages rather than a work of art and architecture. Keywords: Water heritage; conservation; ponds; hities; wells 1. Introduction at depression are the two terminologies normally used by the Newars for the stone spouts. [3] Water heritages of Kathmandu Metropolitan City are mainly stone water spouts, ponds and wells.

  • Population Age-Sex Ratios of Elephants in Rajaji-Corbett National Parks
    Population age-sex ratios of elephants in Rajaji-Corbett National Parks, Uttaranchal Annual Progress Report on Rajaji NP Elephant age-sex ratios Reporting period – January 2004 - January 2005 Submitted by A. Christy Williams The Elephant Sanctuary C/o Operation Eye of the Tiger, P.O. Box 393 300 ARAGHAR Hohenwald, TN 38462 Model Colony Phone: 931-796-6500 / Fax: 931-796-4810 Dehradun – 248001 E-mail: [email protected] Uttaranchal Introduction The Asian elephant in India occurs in five major dis-jointed populations totalling 17,000 to 22,000 individuals (Anon 1993). In north-west India, an estimated 800-1000 elephants occur in Rajaji- Corbett National Parks and the adjoining forest areas(Singh 1995, Johnsingh and Joshua 1994) . This range has been designated as Elephant Reserve No. 11 by the Government of India under Project Elephant. Though ecological research on elephants in this area began in 1986, a detailed study on the elephant demography in this tract started in 1996. The study on elephant demography concentrated mainly to the areas to the west of the river Ganges between 1996 and 1999. However, the population age-sex ratios in Corbett NP were monitored every year for a month in summer, during this period, when most of the elephants were concentrated around the Chaurs (grass lands). The study results indicated that the elephant population in this tract had one of the least skewed sex ratios (1:1.87 Male:Females in Rajaji NP and 1:1.5-2.17 Male:Females in Corbett NP). However, increase in mortality of adult males in early 2001 due to poaching in this tract is a cause for worry and this project is being implemented with the aim of adding, in a small way, to the Government efforts to conserve elephants in Uttaranchal State by regular monitoring of elephant age-sex ratios.
