Introduction The lifelines of Himalayas A massive collision between two tectonic plates of the Indian and Eurasian land masses about 50 to 70 million years ago led to the formation of the youngest and tallest mountain ranges, the Himalayas. Once the Himalayas started to rise, a southward drainage developed which subsequently controlled the climate of the newly formed continent, and there started the season of monsoon as well. The river systems of the Himalayas thus developed because of rains and melting snow. The newly formed rivers were like sheets of water flowing towards the fore-deep carrying whatever came in their way. Once the rivers reached the plains their gradients became lesser, their hydraulics changed and they started to deposit their sediment (Priyadarshi, 2016). The river is a defining feature of a mountain eco-system. And if that ecosystem is the Himalayas then this makes the rivers originating here special for several reasons. Their origin and source to start with, which includes glaciers and snow bound peaks; their length and size, and the area they cover is larger than most peninsular rivers; their rapid, high velocity, meandering flow which is constantly shaping the young and malleable Himalayan valleys; their propensity to carry silt and form rich plains to facilitate a fertile agriculture downstream is another unique feature. -
Landslide Hazard Zonation Mapping Around Nathpa Damsite Area, Kinnaur District, Himachal Pradesh
Jr. Engg. Geol. (ISEG), Vol. XXXII 53 LANDSLIDE HAZARD ZONATION MAPPING AROUND NATHPA DAMSITE AREA, KINNAUR DISTRICT, HIMACHAL PRADESH Praveer Pankaj* & S. K. Singh* Abstract Landslides in Himalayas are common calamities occurring under varied natural and natural phenomenon often triggered conditions prevailing there. This by human activities. The studies of phenomenon is more pronounced in areas landslides get more focused in the areas of high relief in the Himalayas, which where civil engineering projects are to be constitutes a very fragile and delicate taken up or being taken up. Nathpa area is ecosystem. The magnitude of damage very prone to landslides in relation of other caused every year by these sudden and areas in Himalayas due to its rigorous undesired earth movements in the topographic, structural and tectonic Himalayan terrain is enormously high. This framework. Since Nathpa-Jhakri has resulted in adversely affecting the hydroproject is one of the pioneer projects socio-economic conditions and in India, hence the work on landslide environment of the region (Bartarya and hazard zonation. The study indicates that Valdiya, 1989; Haigh etal., 1989; inLakhera half of the area lies under low landslide and Champatiray, 1996). hazard zone; however, nearly 20% of the area is covered by high to very high hazard The study area is located in the risks. The remaining 30% of the area falls Western part of Kinnaur district of Himachal under moderate hazard zone. The area Pradesh, lying between latitude 31°30' to occupied by moderate to high hazard zones 31°36'N and longitude 77°56' to 78°E. It is should be further investigated on a a part of Lesser Himalayan formation, falls microscale and preventive and/or remedial in the Survey of India toposheet No.-53 El measures be suggested to ensure safety 14 (fig. -
