Through this exhibition, we supported the Year of Water initiative as observed by the Government of Karnataka. It also featured H2O Today, a popular traveling exhibition by the Smithsonian Institution. We encouraged visitors to explore the collective experiences of water and refIect on future challenges through a range of dynamic exhibits and workshops. We presented 15 exhibits spread across three floors of Bangalore International Centre, which examined the role of water in our lives, beyond the value that we derive from it. These exhibits were brought to life through 45 connected programmes such as workshops, lectures, master classes, film screenings and musical performances. Participants engaged with the latest research and thinking on water, and examined its cultural significance, by interacting with scholars and artists from around the world. We also provoked them to begin a dialogue on water as an urgent concern for the city of Bengaluru, and global challenge of the Anthropocene. Ice Painting by Dorota Borowa.

Erosion The Meghna river banks suffer from erosion problems annually, mostly in the monsoon and post monsoon periods. As the transmission line will not have any impact on erosion, a further detailed analysis of erosion was not required for the project. Flooding Flooding situation of the study area is very nominal. The local people informed that, only the historical flash flood occurred in the year of 1988, 1998 and 2004. Flooding of 1988 and 1998 severely affected almost the entire study area. The duration of 1988 and 1998 flood was around 1-1.5 months with flood level of 6-7 ft.

  • Some Aspects of Alluvial Land Reclamation Process in Bangladesh During the Colonial Rule
    Some Aspects of Alluvial Land Reclamation Process in Bangladesh during the Colonial Rule Abdul Malek Abstract: This article aims at explaining in brief the reclamation process of alluvial land of Bangladesh during the British colonial rule. On the backdrop of the decline of land-man ratio and pressure of population growth, the reclamation of alluvial land became the only source of human settlement and agricultural operation. In the absence of any proper regulation illegal and forcible occupation of char land by the jotedars became the general order of the day during the British colonial rule. Key words: Alluvial, Char, Jotedar, Land, Reclamation, River, Settlement. The Bengal delta, so far known as the largest in the world, was created by the two Himalayan rivers - the Ganges and the Brahmaputra and a non- Himalayan river namely the Meghna. This is also known as Ganges- Brahmaputra Delta. On its journey towards the north-east the Ganges built several deltas and then abandoned them before finally reaching to its present position. Modern researchers have divided the Bengal delta into five parts. These are the inactive or moribund delta, active delta, mature delta, tidally active delta and subaqusous delta. However, the main cause of the formation of Bengal delta may be attributed to numerous streams, descending precipitously from the mountain of the Himalayas, depositing the silt and sand they held in suspension of their waters on their own beds. This had gradually raised the beds above the level of adjacent plains and caused the streams to change their channels. With this the annual inundation brought Vidyasagar University Journal of History Vol.1 2012-13 206 Abdul Malek deposits on the surface of the country, rapidly creating the land in the level swampy terrain.

It is the second single largest city in the state of Karnataka. It was the capital of the former princely state of Mysore and is now a divisional headquarters having a population of about 10.14 lacs, as per Census 2011.

It is the second cleanest city in India as per 2010 survey. The State government, under the provisions of the Karnataka Town and Country Planning Act 1961, which provide for regulation of planned growth of land-use and development for Urban Areas, constituted a City Planning Authority for Mysore for preparation of development plans for the Mysore Local Planning Area.

This study was carried out to examine the fish species diversity and livelihood status of fishermen around the Titas River falls under the villages of Radhanagar and Uzanchar at Bancharampur upazila of Brahmanbaria district. Data were collected from randomly selected 80 fishermen and analyzed using descriptive statistical tools, viz. frequency and percentage. A total of 55 fisheries species under 10 orders and 20 families were recorded from the Titas River. Cypriniformes was the most dominant order comprising 19 species followed by Siluriformes (12 species), Perciformes (8 species), Synbranchiformes (4 species), Channidiformes (3 species), Beloniformes (1 species), Osteoglossiformes (2 species), Clupeiformes (2 species) and Tetraodontiformes (2 species). Results also revealed that 60.0% of fishermen were belonged to the age group 31–50 years and 75.0% of them had no individual water body of their own.

He entrusted the task to Durlabhendra Cantai, the High priest, and the Court-poets, Banesvar Deva Sarman ** and Sukresvar Deva Sarman, who composed the first volume. Subsequently, some other kings continued to patronize the task, so that the book has run into several volumes of various dates (15th-19th century) and assumed an encycl opaedic proportion.

The kingdom, which was founded and governed for the most part by the Hindu family of Vodeyar, originally served as the vassal state of the Vijayanagar empire. In the 17th century, its territory was constantly expanding, and during the reign of Narasaraji Vodeyar I and Chichka Devaraji Vodeyar, the kingdom was annexed by large expanses of modern southern Karnataka and parts of Tamil Nadu to become a powerful state in southern Dekkan. During a brief Muslim rule, the kingdom passed to the sultanates. During this time, Mimore experienced sustained growth in per capita incomes, structural changes in the economy, increased rates of technological innovation, and reached the height of his economic and military power and domination in the second half of the 18th century under the de facto ruler Haider Ali and his son Tipu Sultana. During this time he came into conflict with the Marats, Nizam Hyderabad, the Kingdom of Travancore and the British, culminating in four Anglo-Meager wars.
