Since forest cover and its changes can dramatically affect soil, water quality, and water supply, Ghana faces difficult choices if it is to support rational and optimal use of its remaining forest resources. This study sought to draw attention to the major changes that have occurred in the forest cover of the forest-savannah transitional zone of Ghana over the past two decades (1990–2013). It also addresses causes and impacts and proposes approaches to address the root cause of the problems using multi-temporal remote sensing data and Geographic Information System-based techniques. The key findings include a big decline in forest of the area over the past 20 years. From the survey conducted, over 80% of respondents believe that the main driver of the declining forest cover is anthropogenic in nature. It is proposed that effective, sustainable, and environmental- friendly forest management policies be implemented through inclusive participation of key stakeholders in planning and management of forest and its resources. Keywords: Forest cover, forest-savannah transitional zone, remote sensing, land-use and land-cover change (LULC) 1. Introduction condition" suggests a precipitous decline. Thompson (1910) found in a survey of Ghana's forests that, Large portions of forest landscapes on the Earth’s surface "comparatively few tracts are covered with so-called have been significantly altered or tampered with, in some primeval or virgin forest; the majority consist of secondary manner by humans (Yang, 2003). The leftover forest irregular growth that has sprung up in areas previously ecosystems in West Africa including Ghana, have a lot of cleared for farms" (Thompson, 1910). Land-use practices natural endowments (e.g. wood and non-wood forest at the local and regional levels have had dramatic effects products) and provides regulating services (e.g. climate, on soil condition as well as water quality and water supply, water and disease regulation) that are important for which in turn have shown impact on vegetation cover, economic development and for sustainability of livelihood particularly forest cover. According to Gyasi (1993) before supporting systems (Locatelli et al., 2008; Seppälä, 2009; 1850, most of the present southern sector of the forest- Tachie-Obeng et al., 2009; Locatelli et al., 2011).

(Accepted : June 30, 2018) ABSTRACT We surveyed for herpetofauna along the poorly-explored sections of Southern Eastern Ghats. This 1000 hours-long large scale survey covered ranges stretching from near Western Ghats eastwards to the Coroman- del Coastal Plains, across a longitudinal gradient. Study area consisting of the tall and wet Bilgiri-Melagiri massifs to the west and the low and dry South Arcot and North Arcot ranges to the east were selected and surveyed. We recorded a total of 95 species including 23 species of amphibians, 35 species of lizards and 37 species of snakes. A descriptive species accounts with photographic vouchers is presented. Noteworthy find- ings include significant new range records for many wet-zone taxa and a few dry-zone taxa from hitherto fore under-surveyed regions. This includes many rare and range-restricted ones and newly described little-known taxa. The study highlights the importance of landscape-level, long-term fieldwork to unravel the hidden di- versity of tropical montane regions like the Eastern Ghats. Key words: amphibians, dry zone, ecoregion, lizards, peninsular India, snakes, wet zone.

The demand of water is increasing day by day. So, groundwater resources play a vital role for additional demand by farmers and Industries and domestic usage leads to rapid development of groundwater. About 63% of available groundwater resources are now being used. However, the development is not uniform all over the State, and in certain districts of Tamil Nadu, intensive groundwater development had led to declining water levels, increasing trend of Over Exploited and Critical Firkas, saline water intrusion, etc. ADMINISTRATIVE SET UP Krishnagiri district is bounded by Vellore and Thiruvannamalai districts in the East, Karnataka state in the west, State of Andhra Pradesh in the North, Dharmapuri district in the south.Its area is 5143 sq.kms.This districtis elevated from 300 to 1400m above the mean sea level.It is located between 11⁰12’N&12⁰49’N Latitude, 77⁰27’E&78⁰38’E Longitude.Krishnagiri district is having administraive divisions of 5 Taluks,10 Blocks,29 Firkas 636 Revenue villages.

As such, prediction of TC genesis, movement and intensity is a very important mandate of India Meteorological Department (IMD). With the ushering in of modern observing systems and remote sensing techniques through satellites, huge volumes of meteorological data over the erstwhile data sparse oceanic areas are now available. Assimilation of such data into the Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) models have improved TC forecasting leaps and bounds in the developed countries in the recent decades. Now, India is also striving hard to collect crucial data from TC fields and assimilate them in NWP models to improve its forecasts on TC genesis, movement, intensity and landfall. As an outcome of Indo-US atmospheric science programme, a scientific plan namely Forecast Demonstration Project (FDP) (Cyclone) – was designed with key scientific objectives of demonstrating the ability of the NWP models to predict cyclone track, intensity and landfall over the Bay of Bengal using enhanced observation including the measurements from dropsonde over the periphery of the cyclone and to assess the accuracy limits of the forecasting aspects related to cyclone.
