ISSN 1567-214x Keywords: Behavior, Social Society, Surfing Sports ABSTRACT This paper examined sustainability isssues happening at tourism destinations in Kashmir Valley. Conclusions are drawn and remedies provided on the basis of concerned issues. Practices, models and strategies adopted by Himalayan and Non- Himalayan states are presented and explained their relevance for the rectification and endorsement of sustainable tourism at destinations. In Kashmir Valley most of the products are gifted by nature and demands vital care and supervision. Due to poor management, deficient facilities and services problems like contamination (water and air), solid waste, open dumping of garbage, emissions, chlorofluorocarbons and green house gases, illegal constructions and degradation of forests highly noticeable at renowned places like Srinagar, Pahalgam and Gulmarg. In this context, strong policies, strategic framework, sustainable tourism practices and adequate facilities and services are treated as imperative. 1. Introduction Over the period, progress of tourism industry offered numerous benefits to people living at tourism potential destinations. High tourist influx brought dollars to their accounts and boosted their economies. Nevertheless, lack of consideration and overcrowding negatively exaggerated the tourism resources like water bodies, aquatic resources and critical environment (Neto, 2003).

Abstract: The present investigation was carried out on Lidder drainage basin (catchment) in Kashmir Himalaya supporting a varied topography and exhibiting altitudinal extremes of 1592 m and 5500m (asl). The drainage density (Dd) and stream frequency (Fu) of the Lidder drainage basin is 2.52 km km-2(km length per km2 area) and 3.32 km-2 respectively. Drainage density class of Lidder stream is coarse (Dd<5 km km-2) which signifies that it has efficient drainage. Lidder stream is sixth order stream in which the largest share is contributed by first order streams (60.32%). The different soil erosion levels have been used to classify the Lidder catchment into four soil erosion zones (Zone I, Zone II, Zone III, and Zone IV) with respect to soil erosion intensities.
