  • Chapter Vi Landslide As an Agent of Rayeng Basin Degradation
    CHAPTER VI LANDSLIDE AS AN AGENT OF RAYENG BASIN DEGRADATION 6.0 Scenario of landslides The landslides are one of the significant types of natural hazards. Massive landslides make trouncing of both creature existence and assets. Yet, people livelihood in the mountainous regions is habituated to survive with such events. With the augmented tourism over the precedent few decades, residential areas have been make bigger over mountainous slopes, which of course necessitate new communication system. This disturbs the usual slopes and an environment of the mountainous regions, in that way greater than ever susceptibility to landslide happening. Geomorphic studies of landslides take account of the assessment of vulnerability and causes responsible behind occurrences. Landslides are the most significant disparaging geomorphic process accountable for degradation of Rayeng Basin. Throughout intense rainfall, the weathering process is accelerated reducing schists and mudstones into silts and fine sands, and succeeding failure of these fine materials triggers landslides in the Rayeng Basin. 6.1 Methodology of study Study of" landslides of the basin incorporate, recognition of affected areas based on the field study and secondary data from earlier study. Intensive study has been made on the factors associated to landslides such as geology, slope angles, soil, climatic condition, hydrologic conditions, vegetation, and last but not the least i.e. human interferences in the basin. In this milieu, topographical maps, geological map, satellite imageries of the basin have been studied intensively. Meteorological data are collected. On the basis of several factors an effort has been made to prepare a landslides susceptible zones map of the study area.

  • District Disaster Management Plan-2019,Kalimpong
    DISTRICT DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN-2019,KALIMPONG 1 FOREWORD It is a well-known fact that we all are living in a world where occurrence of disasters whether anthropological or natural are increasing year by year in terms of both magnitude and frequency. Many of the disasters can be attributed to man. We, human beings, strive to make our world comfortable and convenient for ourselves which we give a name ‘development’. However, in the process of development we take more from what Nature can offer and in turn we get more than what we had bargained for. Climate change, as the experts have said, is going to be one major harbinger of tumult to our world. Yet the reason for global warming which is the main cause of climate change is due to anthropological actions. Climate change will lead to major change in weather pattern around us and that mostly will not be good for all of us. And Kalimpong as a hilly district, as nestled in the lap of the hills as it may be, has its shares of disasters almost every year. Monsoon brings landslide and misery to many people. Landslides kill or maim people, kill cattle, destroy houses, destroy crops, sweep away road benches cutting of connectivity and in the interiors rivulets swell making it difficult for people particularly the students to come to school. Hailstorm sometimes destroys standing crops like cardamom resulting in huge loss of revenue. Almost every year lightning kills people. And in terms of earthquake the whole district falls in seismic zone IV. Therefore, Kalimpong district is a multi-hazard prone district and the District Disaster Management Plan is prepared accordingly.

  • Development Programmes and Its Environmental Impact
    CHAPTER-S Development Programmes and its Environmental Impact 8.1 Introduction The early developer of Darjeeling identified appropriately that developing communication with rest of the country is the key to develop the newly annexed hitherto inaccessible te!Tain. The then Darjeeling hill area was mostly uninhabited only dotted with few settlements of Lepcha cmmnunity. The means of communication in Darjeeling hills up to 1835 were very rudimentary. A few narrow rough tracks through forests and occasional cane bridges over torrents were all that existed at the time of Grants memorandum of 1830 that mentioned only two routes then existing northward from the plains into Sikkim. One was the Nagree Pass and the other by the Sabbook Golah. A third route by the Mahananda was mentioned as having been deserted and over grown with jungle. The pioneers who came to poem up Darjeeling after it had been ceded in 1835 were confronted with an arduous journey from Calcutta before they reached the hills. The first step to introduce modern communication in the district was taken in Journey 183 8 when the trace of the Calcutta road to the east of the hill on which Jalapahar Cantonment stands now was completed by Lt. George Lloyd in 1839, Lt. Napier of the Royal Engineers was deputed to prepare a lay out of Darjeeling town and to constmct a road from Siliguri to Darjeeling. The project was ca1Tied out between 1839 and 1842, at an expenditure of rupees eight lakh and the road, latter known as the old military road. It is still seen winding its way from Pankhabari to Kurseong and then on to Dow Hill, Senchal and Ghum having 300 bridges and culverts.

  • Chapter Viii Assessment of Utility of Resource
    CHAPTER VIII ASSESSMENT OF UTILITY OF RESOURCE 8.0 River basin resources Human beings are residing beside river channels for a long time, which confer a supply of water and power, fertile floodplain soils, fisheries and a potential means of navigation. Seeing that the mountain basin serve up as the source of resources for the inhabitants residing in the hills in addition to in the plains. Rayeng Basin has great potentiality in terms of forest resources, water resources and fish resources. If the resources of this basin can be used in proper scientific way, the people residing in this basin area may get benefits. During the use of resources of this basin, the sustainability must be kept in consideration. Indeed as the form of environmental degradation is quite extensive other particularly is applied to the extraction of timber and other forest produces, mining and agriculture are taken into account. As human population expands in the hills, forests are being depleted for the extension of agricultural lands, introduction of new settlements, roadways etc. 8.1 Land capability classification of Ray eng Basin According to David Dent and Anthony Young (1980), Capability is the potential of the land for use in specified ways, or with specified management practice. There is an assumed sequence of uses built into the system, a kind use pecking order. They mentioned the sequence of assumed desirability in descending order as follows: A) Arable use for any crops and without soil conservation practices. B) Arable land use with restriction on choice of crops and or with soil conservation practices.

  • Chapter Ii Physical Setup of the Study Area 2.0
    CHAPTER II PHYSICAL SETUP OF THE STUDY AREA 2.0 Geomorphology of the study area Geomorphology is the study of landforms. Three key elements of geomorphology are limd form, geomorphic process, and land-surface history. Form is described by morphological . maps or more in recent times, by geomorphometry. Geomorphologists usually use a systems approach to their subject. Form systems, flow or cascading systems, and process­ form or process-response systems are all acknowledged. Negative feedback and positive !{- feedback relationships are significant features in the dynamics of geomorphic systems. · The great achievements of process geomorphology include notions of stability, instability, and thresholds in landscapes, the last two of which contradict simplistic ideas on cause and effect in landscape evolution. Uncertainty surrounds the issue of geomorphic process rates (Fundamentals of Geomorphology, Richard John Huggett, 2007). Assessment of geomorphic river condition measures whether the processes that shape river morphology are appropriate for the given setting, such that deviations from an expected set of attributes can be appraised (Larson, 1991). Key consideration must be given to whether changes to the boundary conditions under which the river operates have brought about irreversible changes to river structure and function (Fryirs, 2003). Rayeng Basin is a mountainous basin ofDarjeeling Himalaya. The elevation of the basin ranges between 180m to 2400m. The elevation of the basin stridently rises from northeast to northern and south eastern part. The basin has highly jagged topography with very steep to moderate slope. Many deep 'V' -shaped valleys have been developed in this basin area. High gradient of the basin encourages the streams to carry large pebbles of crystalline rocks swiftly.

SUBIR SARKAR DEPARTIVIENT OF GEOGRAPHY & APPLIED GEOGRAPHY UNIVERSITY OF NORTH BENGAL DEPARTMENT OF GEOGRAPHY & APPLIED GEOGRAPHY UNIVERSITY OF NORTH BENGAL RAJA RAMlVIOHANPUR DIST.- DARJEELING PIN -734013 WEST BENGAL 2012 1'~ 910· 02 :1 0~ 5 YIY S s ~ \ s .,.· 21JOSI 0 7 J~JN 2014 TO MY PARENTS PREFACE Environmental degradation and associated phenomena are the most pervasive of natural problems that undermine the economic and cultural development of the Darjeeling hills. Deforestation along with high intensity rainstorm induced accelerated slope degradation process further complicated the problem. Implementation of various development programs, construction of human settlement and roads to cater the ever-increasing population, exploitation of forest produce to generate potential, boosting of agriculture growth, tourism, tea plantation, quarrying on the Himalayan immature geology trigger the disaster, huge and complex, never encountered before. The situation was different even 150 years ago. The hills were densely covered by natural vegetation with very thin population and the harmonious relation between the man and nature was well preserved. Extensive heedless deforestation, haphazard construction of roads and settlements, unscientific and illegal quarrying, over grazing, inadequate drainage, in other wards unscientific and unplanned use of fragile hill slopes, has led to the establishment of vicious cycle of degradation. During heavy and concentrated rainfall, catastrophic soil erosion and innumerable landslips are caused to transport huge amount of fertile soil from the Darjeeling hills.
