    Eco-hydrology and Chemical Pollution of Western Ghats Dr.Mathew Koshy M..Sc., M.Phil., Ph.D. Reader and Research Guide in Chemistry, Bishop Moore College, Mavelikara.Kerala Eco-hydrology Eco-hydrology is a new integrative science that involves finding solutions to issues surrounding water, people, and the environment. One of the fundamental concepts involved in eco-hydrology is that the timing and availability of freshwater is intimately linked to ecosystem processes, and the goods and services provided by fresh waters to societies. This means that emphasis is placed on the hydrological cycle and its effects on ecological processes and human well-being. Limnology Limnology is the science that deals with the physical, chemical and biological properties and features of fresh waters. A professional who studies fresh water systems is a limnologist. Lotic System: The lotic environment is consisting of all inland waters in which entire water body continually flows in a definite direction. etc. rivers streams. Lentic system: The lentic environment has been including all inland waters in which water has been not continually flowing in a definite direction. Standing waters Western Ghats The Western Ghats hill range extends along the west coast of India, covering an area of 160,000 square kilometers. The presence of these hills creates major precipitation gradients that strongly influence regional climate, hydrology and the distribution of vegetation types and endemic plants. Biodiversity Although the total area is less than 6 percent of the land area of India, the Western Ghats contains more than 30 percent of all plant, fish, fauna, bird, and mammal species found in India.

  • Geology of Eastern Ghats in Andhra Pradesh
    GEOLOGY OF EASTERN GHATS IN ANDHRA PRADESH BY A. SRIRAaMADAS (Geology Departrael;t, Andhra UMversity, Waltair) Received October 2, 1967 (Communicated by Prof. C. S. Pi¢lmmuthu,t.A.sc.) ABSTRACT The lithology, structure, metamorphism and stratigraphy of the granite gneisses, charnoekite series, khondalite series and .granites occur- ring in the Eastern Ghats of Andhra Pradesh are described. The granite gneisses consist of the garnetiferous granite gneiss, the grey granite gneiss and porphyritic granite gneiss. The charnockite series consists of granite, diorite, gabbro, norite, amphibolite and pyroxenite. The khondalite series comprises gneisses, schists, quattzites, and granulites, metamorphosed from argillaceous, arenaceous and calcareous sediments. The granites include the pink granites and pegmatites. The formations are highly folded with thrusts and strike slip faults. The granite gneisses, charnockite series and khondalite series are metamorphosed to the gra. nulite facies, with a few members in the amphibolite facies and occasional members in the eclogite facies. Some granite gneisses are the oldest rocks present, and others contempolaneous with charnockite selies, which are themselves older than or contemporaneous with the khondalite series. The pink granites and pegmatites are the youngest rocks of the region. LOCATION TttE Eastern Ghats in Andhra Pradesh are situated between Latitudes 16° and 19 °, and Longitudes 80 ° and 85 ° , and stretch for about 350 miles from Srikakulam District in the north, through Visakhapatnam, Godavari and Krishna Districts, to Guntur District in the south.

  • Comanagement:An Alternative Model for Governance of Gairan(Grazing Land) in Maharashtra :A Case Study
    Comanagement:An Alternative Model for governance of Gairan(Grazing Land) In Maharashtra :A Case Study Dr. Shashilala Gurpur, Mr Yuvraj Patil, Prabhjyot Chhabra( III yr BBA LLB), Raghav Chakravarthy N.C. (III yr BBA LLB) , Abhay Anturkar (III yr BBA LLB), Prashant Sivarajan (III yr BBA LLB), Abhijeet Phadkule (I yr LLM) , Atul Jaybhaye (I yr LLM). ABSTRACT: An attempt is made, in this paper to highlight the lack of legal attention in addressing governance of Commons in India. Management of gairan (=grazing land), in Pune District, is identified for case study, to amplify the point. The study is a combination of empirical and doctrinal research. Comparison with the experiences in different legal systems and evolution of international legal norms on the theme are attempted to draw lessons from and to make a case for reforms in the Law in India. Comanagement is the proposed model for governance of grazing lands and a draft legislative bill is attempted as a culmination and logical conclusion of the study.
