(The Environmental Assessment) tiPhysiography Environmentally-Related Issues ' Conceptual Framework Recommended Secbral Engineering Approaches I Conclusion VOLUME I11 VOLUME I1 (Computer-oriented activities) Environmental Impact Assessment Software Tmnsferred to Indian Core Group Modelling and Statistical Analysis iData Bank II Recommendations and Suggestions FOREWORD The Government of India (Department of Environment) has recently become concerned about the environmental problems which could be created by planned industrialization in the Doon Valley, located about 200 km north of New Delhi. Of special concern is environmental degradation due to limestone quarrying and lime- stone processing. Through the aegis of UNDP and UNIDO, IIASA was awarded a 7-month contract in September, 1985 to undertake Phase I of an assessment of environmental impacts of industrial development in the Doon Valley, India. The work envisaged was as follows: a) Development of a conceptual framework for an assessment of environmental impacts of industrial development in the Doon Valley; b) Preparation of a baseline report describing present environmental conditions and past trends in the Doon Valley; c) Development of computer software and provision of demonstration models for environmental management in the Doon Valley and elsewhere; d) Provision of advice to the Indian Department of the Environment with respect to setting up a supporting structure and facilities in India (e.g., national scientific team, monitoring systems); e) On-the-job training of suitable national counterparts; f) Preparation of a comprehensive work programme for the second phase of the project. The present Phase I Report is in three parts. Volume 1 covers items (a), (b), (d), (e), and (f); Volume 2 relates to item (c); Volume 3 contains several papers contributed by the collaborators listed on the cover page. The principal investigators acknowledge the help that they have received from many persons during this study. (See Appen- dices 1 and 2 for lists of persons who provided advice.) Professor Fedorov visited India in June and November 1985 while Professor Munn was there in January 1986. These visits were greatly facilitated by UNIDO officers in Vienna (Mr. J.H. Paschke) and New Delhi (Dr. K. Hussain and Mr. B. Singh) and by Dr. S. Maudgal and his colleagues in the Indian Department of the Environment. During the course of these visits, discussions were held with a number of persons in government services and the universities, and it became clear that there are some very competent ecologists, engineers, and environmental scientists in India. One of the main roles to be played by IIASA in the Doon Valley study is that of a catalyst. A draft of this report was reviewed at a meeting held at IIASA on 3-5 March, 1986. Four members of the Indian Core Group for the Doon Valley IIASA/UNIDO Study were able to partici- pate. That meeting contributed substantially to the focus of the study, and the principal investigators are indebted to the participants. However, errors and omissions are the responsi- bility of the authors. Appendix 1 gives a list of participants at the review meeting. Finally it should be mentioned that Volume 1 contains not only a description of baseline and historical conditions with resulting findings and recommendations, but also conceptual presentations to serve as a reference for future activities of the Indian Doon Valley Core Group. This is also true for several types of impacts that are only indirectly related to industrial development. SUMMARY OF VOLUME I People living in the Doon Valley believe that environmental quality has deteriorated during living memory. This perception appears to be supported by the available quantitative data for the Valley. For example, the forest cover decreased by about 25% between 1972 and 1982 (Sharma and Sharma, 1983) while groundwater levels in the City of Dehra Dun have reportedly lowered by about 15 m in the last decade (see contribution by Roy in Volume 3). The most visible signs of environmental deterio- ration are the scarring of the Himalaya slopes due to limestone quarrying, and the billowing white smoke downwind of the lime- stone kilns. However, an important reason for the general decline in environmental quality is population pressure, particu- larly within Dehra Dun City and vicinity. In Chapters 5 and 6, the results of a baseline study of environmental quality are given. Although the data available to the Principal Investigators are rather limited, there are clear signs of environmental degradation in the Valley. 1. A recent drop in the water-table in the vicinity of Dehra Dun during the dry seasons. 2. Visible scarring of valley slopes due to limestone quarrying, with resultant soil erosion and decreasing forest cover. 3. Poor air quality, particularly in the Dehra Dun - Mussoorie pocket, where limestone kilns are operating. 4. Deforestation due to increased firewood demand. 5. Declines in the numbers of valued species of birds, animals and fish. A major cause for this drop in environmental quality is the increasing population of people and livestock in the Valley. For example, the growth rate of the Dehra Dun urban agglomeration between 1971 and 1981 was 44%, which was higher than the national average (DOE, 1984). Industry is only one of several causes of environmental deterioration in the Doon Valley. It is therefore essential that the environmental impacts of industrial development be viewed within a comprehensive land-use management framework. One such framework reproduced on the following page is based on the idea of sustainable redevelopment where sustainable applies to both ecological and socio-economic processes. Here it should be emphasized that with the technology available today, industry need not cause harm to the environment. Furthermore, industry brings employment opportunities and income to surrounding areas. Redevelopment of the Doon Valley requires a thorough understanding of the carrying capacity of the region. As suggested in the Figure, however, carrying capacity is not a fixed quantity but depends on: - vii - CONTROL BOUNDARY I7 REHAB1 LITATION - DI RECT (REFORESTATION) OR INDIRECT 1 I (CONTROL OF INDUSTRIAL POLLUTANTS) PRIMARY [ NDUSTRIAL INCOME EhV1 RONI4ENTAL OPT1CNS KQIJ IREMENTS POLICY-DRIVEN MOVES TO PURSUE AVERAGE YEARLY INCOME PARTICULAR DEVELOPMENT SCENARIOS OF VALLEY RESIDENTS REPRESENTING ROSS CLEAN AIR, PRODUCTIVE PURCHASING PaWER SOIL AND AVAILABILITY OF CLEAN WATER PRIMARY PRODUCTION BIOMASS FOR FOOD AND ENERGY VARIABLE CARRYING CAPACITY PURCHASABLE COMMODTTIES VARIOUS COMBINATIONS OF LEVELS OF ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY AND INCOME TO SUSTAIN POPULATION ABOVE SOME SPECIFIED BASELINE LIFESTYLE INM IGRATI ON A tentative conceptual framework for environmental management in the Doon Valley. - viii - -- the levels of environmental quality deemed to be acceptable by society; -- the lifestyle expectat.ions (incomes, food, shelter, edu- cation, etc.) of society; -- the investments that society is prepared to make on environ- mental protection and pollution control equipment; -- externalities such as new technologies, changes in world trade patterns, etc. From the point of view of carrying capacity, the most limiting factor for further industrial development in the Doon Valley is lack of water during the dry season. Although monsoon rains are very large, most of the water evaporates or is lost as runoff. The highest priority should therefore be given to the design of engineering works that will improve the water storage capacity of the Valley. These facilities must be based on understanding, monitoring and modelling the hydrologic cycle. Several practical suggestions for improving the hydrologic carrying capacity of the watershed are as follows: -- Control of future tubewell development (e.g., staggering of wells to tap different aquifers); -- Construction of underground water storage systems; -- Discouragement of plans to locate water-intensive industries in the Valley. Other carrying capacity factors that limit development in the Valley include: -- Migration of people into the Valley; (By improving environ- mental and economic conditions, planners may encourage immigration, severely taxing the carrying capacity of the region.) -- The poor assimilative capacity of the Valley atmosphere, placing an upper limit on the pollution that can be emitted if air quality standards are to be met; -- Availability of arable land; -- Milk and fuel wood; (These products cannot be imported economically into the Valley, and thus there is a limiting population that can be sustained unless improved or alterna- tive technologies are used.) -- Livestock populations; (Stall feeding could increase the forestry carrying capacity of the Valley with respect to this factor. ) -- Economic factors such as transport costs to distant markets and within urban areas, energy costs, availability of raw materials, waste disposal facilities, etc. In all of these cases, carrying capacity/sustainability studies

  • THE DOON from MUSSOORIE the Great Wide Plain in Deep Blue
    78 I HAVE LOVED BEAUTY LIF E IN THE MOUNTAINS 79 THE DOON FROM MUSSOORIE Moody. temperamental, bright, s it an enchanted city drowned Changing with the changing light, I In the days of long ago, The Doon now lowers, dark with storm Or is this an illusion found Or quickly melts in laughter gay' In the sun's bright glow? In her captivating way. Whate'er it is, it seems to me Or clouds descend and swiftly form As though I looked beneath the sea, A billowing ocean. Then it seems And saw a country wondrous fair, To drown anew my land of dreams. Strangely lovely, strangely bright, Drowned in clear, translucent light, When the skies are starred at night Haunting beauty lingering there. And the crystal atmosphere Makes the stars and lights appear In the far beyond the plain Scintillating, clear and bright, Is girdled by a mountain chain, Then smiles my heart, my heart is glad The Swaliks clothed in distant blue, To watch those miles in sable clad; Through clouds and sunshine changing ever, For or: the darkness I see flung And in effortless endeavour, A radiant, diamond necklace strung Creating co lour schemes anew. With twinkling stars or shining eyes, And as I look, what should I see? The great wide plain in deep blue green, - A point of light move steadily, - Broad silver rivers flow between Perhaps a car, perhaps a train Fair fields and forests. Cities lie Cleaves the darkness of the plain. Dreaming, peacefully at rest I know that life is stirring there Upon that rich and ample breast, Inhab itin g my ci ty fair.

Box 3226, Nepal 3 Uttaranchal Forest Development Corporation, Aranya Vikas Bhawan, 73, Nehru Road, Dehradun 248001, Uttarakhand, India Abstract The objective of forest management in the tropics, in recent decades, has shifted from timber production to biodiversity conservation and maintenance of life support system. However, past forestry practices have greatly influenced the structure of plant communities, preponderance of foreign invasive species, populations of high value medicinal plants as well as other non-wood forest products. We assessed the abundance and distribution of medicinal plants in managed and undisturbed forests of Dehradun Forest Division (DFD), Uttarakhand (India). A total of 80 transects (each 1 km long) were laid in various categories of forest types in DFD. This paper deals with distribution, availability and regeneration status of five commercially important species viz., Justicia adhatoda, Aegle marmelos, Phyllanthus emblica, Terminalia bellirica and Terminalia chebula, across different forest types. The study reveals that open canopy forest patches, Lantana infested patches and Acacia catechu-Dalbergia sissoo (Khair -Shisam) woodlands in the eastern part of the DFD have excellent potential for the production and sustainable harvest of Justicia adhatoda.
