  • Environmental Isotope Hydrology Environmental Isotope Hydrology Is a Relatively New Field of Investigation Based on Isotopic Variations Observed in Natural Waters
    Environmental Isotope Hydrology Environmental isotope hydrology is a relatively new field of investigation based on isotopic variations observed in natural waters. These isotopic characteristics have been established over a broad space and time scale. They cannot be controlled by man, but can be observed and interpreted to gain valuable regional information on the origin, turnover and transit time of water in the system which often cannot be obtained by other techniques. The cost of such investigations is usually relatively small in comparison with the cost of classical hydrological studies. The main environmental isotopes of hydrological interest are the stable isotopes deuterium (hydrogen-2), carbon-13, oxygen-18, and the radioactive isotopes tritium (hydrogen-3) and carbon-14. Isotopes of hydrogen and oxygen are ideal geochemical tracers of water because their concentrations are usually not subject to change by interaction with the aquifer material. On the other hand, carbon compounds in groundwater may interact with the aquifer material, complicating the interpretation of carbon-14 data. A few other environmental isotopes such as 32Si and 2381//234 U have been proposed recently for hydrological purposes but their use has been quite limited until now and they will not be discussed here. Stable Isotopes of Hydrogen and Oxygen in the Hydrological Cycle The variations of the isotopic ratios D/H and 18O/16O in water samples are expressed in terms of per mille deviation (6%o) from the isotope ratios of mean ocean water, which constitutes the reference standard SMOW: 5%o= (^ RSMOW The isotope ratio, R, is measured using a special mass spectrometer.

  • Avalanche Protection and Control in the Himalayas
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Defence Science Journal Def Sci J, Vol 35, No 2, April 1985, pp 255-266 Avalanche Protection and Control in the Himalayas N. MOHANRAO Snow & Avalanche Study Establishment, Manali Abstract. The problems of snow avalanches, their prediction and control in the Himalayas have assumed great relevance and importance not only for the Army but also for the progress of the Himalayan States of Jammu & Kashmir. Himachal Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh, whose upper reaches remain snowbound for nearly six months in a year. The paper discusses br~eflythe gravity of the problem and presents a broad outline of a case-study of avalanche control for Badrinath Temple and Township in Uttar Pradesh undertaken by the Snow & Avalanche Study Establishment (SASE), Manali. This and many other studies undertaken by the SASE illustrate the contribution of Defellce Science to the solution of this major problem affecting communications, tourism and hill development, as a spin-off from Defence Research. The Pirpanjals and the Great Himalayas, besides other ranges, experience heavy snow during the winter months particularly from January to March. The total snowfall is as much as 1500 cm in some years in the Western Himalayas. Storms lasting for several days bringing down at times more than 200 cm of snow in one spell lasting from 3 to 7 days are not uncommon. The problem is further accentuated when high intensities of 8 to 10 cm/hr prevail. The result is a heavy avalanche activity affecting Army posts and movements, communications, villages and winter tourism.

    Profiles of Agro-Pastral Nepalese and Rural Processing Method of Milk in Nepal By Fumisaburo TOKITA and Akiyoshi HOSONO Laboratery of Chemistry and Technology of Aniinal Proclucts, Fac. Agric., Shinshu Univ. From October 2nd to November 18th in 1978, we carried out aR investigation about rural processing of milk in Nepal. Our investigation in 1978 was preliminary for the execution of the main inve- stigation which will be carried out in 1979 for the purpose to get useful information about dairying and milk processing in the northern part of the southern Asia, and to trace the culture relating to milk utilization back to its origin. Therefore, this report is provisional, and our full investigative reports will be published after the performaltce of the main investiga5on. Investigation 1. 0utline of Nepal Nepal is bounded on the nortk by the Tibet region of the People's Republic of China'and on the south, east and west by India. Its length is approximately 965 km from east to west and its breadth varies from 145 to 241 km from north to south. Nepal has an aproximate area of 14,080,OOO ha as skown in Tabie 1 and its about 14% area is arable land and another 14% area is parmanent pasture (Phot. 1). In these areas, most of the Nepalese are engaged in agriculture and animal farming. Nepal has population about 12,880,OOO aRd its about 95% is agricultural people. Geographically, the country of Nepal fails into the following tkree regions ; (1). Tropical region, Tarai province (150tv250 meters above sea Ievel) where is located in the southern part of Nepal.

    12. A REVIEW OF ISOTOPE APPLICATIONS IN CATCHMENT HYDROLOGY T. VITVAR, P.K. AGGARWAL Isotope Hydrology Section Division of Physical And Chemical Sciences, International Atomic Energy Agency, Vienna J. McDONNELL Oregon State University, Corvalls, Oregon, United States of America 1. Introduction Isotope methods were introduced into catchment hydrology research in the 1960s as complementar tools to conventional hydrologic methods for addressing questions of where water goes when it rains, what pathways it takes to the stream and how long water resides in the catchment (McDonnell, 20(3). Despite slow incorporation into routine research applications, the last decade has seen a rapid increase in isotope-based catchment studies. These have been mainly carried out in small well-instrented experimental catchments, on the order of 0.01 to 100 km and located typically in headwater areas (Buttle, 1998). In contrast, little has been done in terms of application and transfer of these concepts and methodologies to large (:;1 DOs to 1000s of ), less instrented basins. Much potential also waits to be realized in terms of how isotope information may be used to calibrate and test distributed rainfall-runoff models and to aid in the quantification of sustainable water resources management. In this chapter, we review the major applications of isotopes to catchment studies, and address a variety of prospective new directions in research and practice. Our discussion is based primarily on catchments in temperate to wet zones. 152 VITV AR, AGGARWAL, McDONNLL 2. Review of research 1. HISTORICAL OVERVIEW OF ISOTOPES EMPLOYED IN CATCHMENT HYDROLOGY Natural l4C was discovered in the late 1940s and natural 3H (tritium) was discovered in the early 1950s (Grosse et aI., 1951).
