Ganges Exploring India’S Holiest River STANFORD TRAVEL/STUDY STANFORD TRAVEL/STUDY THE Ganges EXPLORING INDIA’S HOLIEST RIVER January 9 to 25, 2014 a program of the stanford alumni association STANFORD TRAVEL/STUDY The majestic Ganges River, which begins in the snows of the lofty Himalayas, plays a vital role in Indian life as it crosses the plains on its way to the Bay of Bengal. Our cruise aboard the RV Bengal Ganga takes us on an 800-mile journey upon its waters. From the capital city of Delhi we fly to noisy, bustling Varanasi for a visit to India’s holiest city before we board our river vessel to sail to Victorian Kolkata. As we navigate the river, we observe Hindu culture, colonial architecture, Muslim monuments and Buddhist temples and learn about the traditional agricultural life of the unspoiled countryside. From the ship’s observation deck, watch exotic birds in flight, water buffaloes along the shore and freshwater dolphins at play. Join us to witness the daily rituals of farming, fishing and village life along India’s most sacred river. Brett S.

  • Slowly Down the Ganges March 6 – 19, 2018
    Slowly Down the Ganges March 6 – 19, 2018 OVERVIEW The name Ganges conjures notions of India’s exoticism and mystery. Considered a living goddess in the Hindu religion, the Ganges is also the daily lifeblood that provides food, water, and transportation to millions who live along its banks. While small boats have plied the Ganges for millennia, new technologies and improvements to the river’s navigation mean it is now also possible to travel the length of this extraordinary river in considerable comfort. We have exclusively chartered the RV Bengal Ganga for this very special voyage. Based on a traditional 19th century British design, our ship blends beautifully with the timeless landscape. Over eight leisurely days and 650 kilometres, we will experience the vibrant, complex tapestry of diverse architectural expressions, historical narratives, religious beliefs, and fascinating cultural traditions that thrive along the banks of the Ganges. Daily presentations by our expert study leaders will add to our understanding of the soul of Indian civilization. We begin our journey in colourful Varanasi for a first look at the Ganges at one of its holiest places. And then by ship we explore the ancient Bengali temples, splendid garden-tombs, and vestiges of India’s rich colonial past and experience the enduring rituals of daily life along ‘Mother Ganga’. Our river journey concludes in Kolkatta (formerly Calcutta) to view the poignant reminders of past glories of the Raj. Conclude your trip with an immersion into the lush tropical landscapes of Tamil Nadu to visit grand temples, testaments to the great cultural opulence left behind by vanished ancient dynasties and take in the French colonial vibe of Pondicherry.

  • The Conservation Action Plan the Ganges River Dolphin
    THE CONSERVATION ACTION PLAN FOR THE GANGES RIVER DOLPHIN 2010-2020 National Ganga River Basin Authority Ministry of Environment & Forests Government of India Prepared by R. K. Sinha, S. Behera and B. C. Choudhary 2 MINISTER’S FOREWORD I am pleased to introduce the Conservation Action Plan for the Ganges river dolphin (Platanista gangetica gangetica) in the Ganga river basin. The Gangetic Dolphin is one of the last three surviving river dolphin species and we have declared it India's National Aquatic Animal. Its conservation is crucial to the welfare of the Ganga river ecosystem. Just as the Tiger represents the health of the forest and the Snow Leopard represents the health of the mountainous regions, the presence of the Dolphin in a river system signals its good health and biodiversity. This Plan has several important features that will ensure the existence of healthy populations of the Gangetic dolphin in the Ganga river system. First, this action plan proposes a set of detailed surveys to assess the population of the dolphin and the threats it faces. Second, immediate actions for dolphin conservation, such as the creation of protected areas and the restoration of degraded ecosystems, are detailed. Third, community involvement and the mitigation of human-dolphin conflict are proposed as methods that will ensure the long-term survival of the dolphin in the rivers of India. This Action Plan will aid in their conservation and reduce the threats that the Ganges river dolphin faces today. Finally, I would like to thank Dr. R. K. Sinha , Dr. S. K. Behera and Dr.

Tourist places are developed for many factors like-historical place, cold place, moderate climate, natural sceneries, lake, pond, sea beach, hilly area, Island, religious and political importance etc. these are the factors which attract tourist. Tourist places also create so many job opportunities like, tourist guide, Hotels, airlines railways, sports, worship material etc. for speedy development in speed way government has announced tourism as Tourism industry. Another significance is that it helps the govt to generate foreign currency. Tourism is also helpful in the area of solving the unemployment problem. Migration is not in affect by tourism because where so many people of employment but it own houses for many purpose like, residence , Hotel, shop, museum, cinema hall, market complex, etc. Near by the tourist place migration ends or decreases but only few exception cases where migration problem creates otherwise tourism solve the problem.

  • Significance of Riverine Carbon Transport: a Case Study of a Large Tropical River, Godavari (India)
    Vol. 45 Supp. SCIENCE IN CHINA (Series C) October 2002 Significance of riverine carbon transport: A case study of a large tropical river, Godavari (India) M. M. Sarin, A. K. Sudheer & K. Balakrishna Physical Research Laboratory, Ahmedabad 380 009, India Correspondence should be addressed to M. M. Sarin (email: [email protected]) Received June 26, 2002 Abstract Although riverine carbon fluxes are a minor component of the global carbon cycle, the transfer of organic carbon from land to ocean represents a flux of potential carbon storage, irre- versible over 103 to 104 a. Future carbon transfers through river basins are expected to accelerate, with respect to both sources and sinks, because of the large-scale human driven land-use and land-cover changes. Thus, the increased amounts of carbon transported to and sequestered in marine sediments (through fertilization by river-borne inorganic nutrients) may be an important net sink for anthropogenic CO2. Particularly, the humid tropics of South Asia are regions very sensitive to this lateral C transport because of high precipitation and high rates of land use and cover change. In this paper we report on the role of upland tributaries in the transport processes influ- encing the lateral carbon and nitrogen fluxes of the Godavari, a large tropical river of India. By far, dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) is the dominant form of carbon transport in the river basin. It con- stitutes as much as 75% to the total carbon load. Particulate and dissolved organic carbon (POC and DOC) fluxes account for 21% and 4%, respectively. In the upper basin, DOC fluxes exceed that of POC due to large-scale anthropogenic activities.

Jahid Hossain Jahangir Executive Engineer Joint Rivers Commission, Bangladesh Presented at the Expert Scoping Workshop on quantifying the benefits of transboundary water cooperation 6-7 June 2013, Amsterdam, the Netherlands BANGLADESH GENERAL INFORMATION ON BANGLADESH Total area of Bangladesh: 147,570 km2 Population: about 146.60 million 80% of the population live in rural areas The Topography of Bangladesh is generally flat. Most of the areas lie within 20m above MSL 80% floodplains, terraces 8% & 12% hills River and inland water bodies: 6.7 % Forest Cover: 17% Bangladesh enjoys a sub-tropical monsoon climate. Out of six seasons in a year, summer, monsoon and winter are predominate. Temperature in winter falls as low as 5º C , during summer the mean is about 30ºC and occasionally rises above 40º C. Normal annual rainfall: 1200 mm in the extreme west and as high as 5800 mm in the northeast. About 80% occurs in monsoon (Jun-Oct) Socio-economic aspects Agriculture support the vast majority of Bangladesh population, accounting for 32% of GDP, 13% of exports, and 60% of employment. Net cultivable area (NCA) is 8.53 Mha Irrigable area is 7.56 Mha. 5.00 Mha is currently irrigated Present cropping intensity is 183%.
