  • Modeling the Efficacy of the Ganga Action Plan's Restoration of The
    Modeling the Efficacy of the Ganga Action Plan’s Restoration of the Ganga River, India By Shaw Lacy A thesis submitted In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the degree of Master of Science Natural Resources and Environment at The University of Michigan August 2006 Thesis Committee: Professor Michael Wiley Professor Jonathan Bulkley Abstract. To combat rising levels of water pollution in the Ganges River, the Indian gov- ernment initiated the Ganga Action Plan (GAP) in 1984. After twenty years, it is a com- mon perception that the GAP has failed to achieve the goals of a cleaner river. Using available government data on pollution levels and hydrology, I undertook an of the GAP efficacy for fifteen pollution parameters across 52 water quality sampling points moni- tored by India’s Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) within the Ganga Basin. Dis- solved oxygen, BOD, and COD showed a significant improvement of water quality after twenty years. In addition, fecal and total coliform levels, as well as concentrations of cal- cium, magnesium, and TDS all showed a significant decline. Building on this analysis, a GIS analysis was used to create a spatial model of the majority of the Ganga River net- work using a reach-based ecological classification approach. Using recent GAP monitor- ing data, a multiple linear regression model of expected pollutant loads within each reach (VSEC unit) was created. This model was then used to inventory water quality across the entire basin, based on CPCB criteria. My analysis showed 208 river km were class A, 1,142 river km were class B, 684 river km were class C, 1,614 river km were class D, and 10,403 river km were class E.

  • Varanasi – a Treasure of Rich Cultural Heritage of India
    Varanasi – A Treasure of Rich Cultural Heritage of India Benaras, name given by Britishers was formally known as Varanasi, Kashi, Avimukta, Mahashmashana. About the history of Benaras Mark Twain, Who visited around the world wrote, “Benaras is older than history, older than tradition, older even than legend and looks twice as old as all of them put together.” Besides Jerusalem, Athens, Peking and Mecca, Varanasi is the only city living for last four thousand years. This can be witnessed through every tourist eyes. As Jerusalem and Athens are having western and modern touch moreover. They changed their lifestyle, traditions, behaviour and culture which, can be marked in churches. But in Kashi even thousand years back as god was worshipped, till today it is followed with the same tradition, values and even with similar dressing sense. Vedas, Upanishads in Sanskrit are still taught in Varanasi henceforth the numbers of students are increasing for it. It is also the center for learning yoga, palmistry, astrology, Sanskrit, Hinduism and history of 36 crore gods and goddesses. Varanasi is situated between the river Varuna in north and Assi in the south hence it is named as Varanasi. It represents India on account of its prestigious traditions, Temples, Shrines, Asrams, Muths, Holy Ganges River and respected Hindu religion. Varanasi has captivating charm and spiritual challenge, which can be seen in its exaggerated rituals, festive, cultural activities performed in the city. If the boon of life starts at Dashashwamedh Ghat than it ends at Manikarnika; a unique combination of life and death in the desire of salvation attracts the pilgrims.

  • Third International Workshop on Sustainable Land Use Planning 2000
    Landscape Research Record No. 6 GHATS ON THE GANGA IN VARANASI, INDIA: A SUSTAINABLE APPROACH TO HERITAGE CONSERVATION SINHA, AMITA University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign, [email protected] 1 ABSTRACT At Varanasi in India, where the Ganga reverses its flow, the 84 ghats (steps and landings) in a 6.8 km stretch are an iconic image of the city. Their built fabric evolved over 800 years from self- organized systems of worship and pilgrimage. The cultural landscape is complex in its layering and detail, and was resilient in its recovery from natural disasters as well as cultural upheavals. This can be interpreted as constituted by situated events, natural--flooding, silting, and changing flow of the Ganga--and cultural--ritual activities and performances in diurnal and seasonal rhythms tied to the Ganga. The riverfront is a complex ecosystem evolving from spatial practices responding to natural phenomena and its cycles that reflect the Hindu understanding of cosmic order. The ecosystem is stressed by over use and unprecedented levels of pollution in the Ganga, posing a challenge to the idea of the river as an archetypal symbol of purity and to the continuity of spatial practices. For sustainable conservation of the ghats, design and management strategies that will ensure a healthy and resilient cultural landscape should be based upon a systems approach. Patrick Geddes’ town planning reports in early twentieth century India are a useful precedent in connecting traditional cultural practices with ecological planning. In the proposed framework, the symbolic meanings of nature in traditional beliefs and practices are augmented with utilitarian functions in local energy cycles linking sun, flora, and fauna that will address air and water pollution and increase the capacity of the landscape to recover from flood events.
