Research Article ASSESSMENT OF CHANNEL WIDTH DISPARITY OF THE MAJOR RIVERS WITHIN MAYURAKSHI RIVER BASIN Swades Pal1, Surajit Let2 and *Priyanka Das3 1Department OG Geography, University of Gour Banga, West Bengal 2&3Department of Geography, Visva-Bharati, Santiniketan *Author for Correspondence ABSTRACT This paper aims to find out the asymmetric pattern of channel width distribution in reference to thalweg line among different sub basins (Mayurakshi, Dwarka and Kuya) of a single master basin; estimating river bank stability etc. Empirical field observation and views of the bank dwellers have employed to prepare data base for this work. Result shows that there is asymmetric pattern of width distribution among different rivers and tendency of bank recession reveals reverse situation among the each others. Mayurakshi river has proved to be the most instable regarding the considered parameter. Strong human intervention is largely responsible for asymmetric pattern of channel width, river bank instability etc. Key Words: Channel Width Asymmetry, Riverbank Stability, Comparative Status of Width Pattern and Antagonistic Exposure of the Sub Basins Width INTRODUCTION Each river has its own morphological character, trend and evolution. Width of the river depends on slope, discharge, depth, bank materials, flow characters etc. (Leopold and Maddock, 1953; Moriswa, 1985; Bloom, 1979). Human being also exerts ample stress on river morphology through their activities (Pal, 2012; Let and Pal, 2011). Bridge construction across river without providing enough space for through passing, regulated discharges from barrages and dam, river bank cultivation and bank failure etc.

In this book we are presenting to you the auspicious fast of “Shree Swasthani Mata Ji”. It is as under: Maa Sati, after leaving her corporal form, took birth as Parvati as the daughter of Giriraj Himalaya and his wife Maneka. Parvati used to worship Lord Shiva by making a Shivling (the holy phallus) of sand with a desire to attain him as her husband. When her marriage was fixed with Lord Vishnu, on insistence of sage Narada, she left her home to meditate in the forest. Lord Shiva showed her the glimpse of his divine spirit and suggested to her that only Lord Vishnu can show her the way to marry as per her desire. Then Maa Parvati worshipped Lord Vishnu who in turn came to bless her. Lord Vishnu asked– O Parvati! I am happy with your devotion. Ask for anything you desire. Maa Parvati replied– O God! You know that I worship Shiva as my husband since my childhood.

  • A Case Study of Flood in 2000 in Murshidabad, West Bengal
    Research Paper Volume : 2 | Issue : 3 |Geography Mar 2013 • ISSN No 2277 - 8179 Role of Reservoirs in Flood: A Case Study KEYWORDS : Flood in Murshidabad, of Flood in 2000 in Murshidabad, West Massanjore Dam, Mayurakshi River Bengal Basin, Damodar Valley Corporation Swati Mollah Asst. Prof. in Geography, Department of Geography, Dumkal College, P.O. Basantapur, Dumkal, Murshidabad, PIN- 742 406 ABSTRACT In India, for controlling flood emphasis has been on structural measures especially construction of multipur- pose projects due to economy of construction cost. They are required to moderate the incoming floods to the maximum possible extent as well as store enough water during the monsoon period so that the conservation purpose are best served during the remaining period of the year. But unfortunately these structural measures have been proved futile for flood management. The main problem of these reservoirs is heavy siltation and inappropriate maintenance. In most cases, the actual rate of siltation is found to be higher than the design rate. For the 23 reservoirs the annual loss in live storage capacity is 0.912% of the original live storage capacity. These 23 reservoirs have already lost 23.11 % of LS by 2006. This paper attempts to find out the problems regarding the Massanjore Dam in controlling flood in Murshidabad, in particular based on secondary data from various government reports. It may help the administration of the district to find the solution of the flood problem in other way than depending on controlling flood through reservoir regulation. INTRODUCTION Most parts of India being dependent for water on 3-4 month long monsoon, reservoirs are created to store water for use oftrolling 2000 flood.in Murshidabad and its adjoining parts.
