    Perennial and Non-Perennial river- River originating from mountains, they get water throughout the year, that river consider as Perennial river. on the other hand river originating from plateau region called Non-Perennial river. these river do not have enough water for the whole year. Peninsular river- They have a large seasonal fluctuation in volume as they are solely fed from rainfall. These river flow in valley with steep gradients. the river which end in the Bay of Bengal are called 'East flowing' river, If the river empties into the Arabian sea, it is called ' West flowing' river. Inland drainage river- The river which does not empty itself into any sea, and end with any lake or any other water body is known as Inland Drainage river. Classification Indus River Originated from Bokharchu Glacier , near Mansarover. Rivers in India Total length of about 2897 km, it fall into the Arabian sea.

    Ecological and Institutional Analysis of Inland Fisheries Resource Management: Productivity in the Case of Tawa Reservoir, India AMALENDU JYOTISHI Gujarat Institute of Development Research S-G Highway, Gota, Ahmedabsd 380 060 India E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT Fishing in inland water bodies such as flood plain lakes, river, estuaries and reservoirs, has an important role for rural people. Fish is an important source of protein diet of many households and generate significant income as well as provide employment opportunities. 70 percent of the 0.71 million active fisher folks in India are employed in the inland fisheries and India has a total of 19,370 reservoir units covering an area of 31, 53,366 hectares, hence creates a lot of opportunities for economic development of the rural people. Reservoir fisheries are classic case of Common Pool Resources (CPRS) and hence require comprehensive institutional arrangement that can ensure productivity of the fish resources without compromising with the ecological needs. Therefore, through the case of Tawa reservoir, we are trying to understand the fisheries resource and the production scenario. Tawa reservoir has undergone operation through different management regime, and hence, provides an opportunity to comprehend the performance of these regimes and their implications on fisheries resources. In this paper, our attempt is therefore, to understand the dynamics of the fisheries resource of Tawa reservoir. With the limited available data, we analyse the catch and stocking relationship, predator-prey relationship and also to identify the determinants that influence the productivity of the Tawa reservoir. Based on the time-series data available a model was developed to determine the production possibility of the fish resource in Tawa.

  • Petrography of Asirgarh Volcanic, Burhanpur District, Madhya Pradesh
    JASC: JOURNAL OF APPLIED SCIENCE AND COMPUTATIONS ISSN NO: 0076-5131 Petrography of Asirgarh Volcanic, Burhanpur district, Madhya Pradesh Khadri, S.F.R and Mayura M.Deshmukh Dept. of Geology, Sant Gadge Baba Amravati University, Amravati-444602 (MS) Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT: The detailed petrographic and mineralogical aspects of the various lava flows exposed in the Asirgarh area has been carried out to understand the genetic aspects of the lava pile. This study based on megascopic and microscopic characteristics has provided valuable information on mineral phases and their genetic relationship. The detailed petrographic and mineralogical investigations were carried out in 465m thick lava pile exposed in the study area permit the broad division of Malwa subgroup into three formations namely Dahinala, Asirgarh and Amba. The petrographic characters of Asirgarh lava flows in the study area can be distinguished with one another due to their stratigraphic position, textural parameter like aphintic, porphyritic, glomeroporphyritic, sub-ophitic. ophtic. Phenocryst assemblages such as plagioclase, clinopyroxene and olivine were found to be mostly altered to iddegsite, opaque minerals and primary glass. The formation boundaries are inferred by characters such as field signatures, phenocrystic assemblages and appearance of giant phenocrystic basalt horizon (GPB). Keywords: Deccan plateau, petrology, mineral phases, Petrogenesis. I. INTRODUCTION The Deccan Flood Basalt Province (0.8 million sq.km; Watts and Cox, 1989; 1.5-2 km thick along the Western Ghat escarpment; Holmes, 1965; Kaila et al., 1981) is believed to have been formed at the Cretaceous-Tertiary transition during northward migration of the Indian plate over the Reunion hot-spot (Morgan, 1981; Cox, 1983).

    Report on Prevention & Control of pollution in River Chambal An Action Plan for Rejuvenation Regional Office M.P. Pollution control Board, Ujjain (M.P.) Index S. No. Description 1 Introduction 2 Water Quality 3 Details of Industries 4 Proposed Short Term and Long Term Action plan for Rejuvenation of River Chambal Report on Prevention & Control of pollution in River Chambal: An Action Plan for Rejuvenation 1. Introduction:- The Chambal River is a tributary of the Yamuna River in central India, and thus forms part of the greater Gangetic drainage system. The river flows north-northeast through Madhya Pradesh, running for a time through Rajasthan, then forming the boundary between Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh before turning southeast to join the Yamuna in Uttar Pradesh state. It is a legendary river and finds mention in ancient scriptures. The perennial Chambal originates at janapav, south of Mhowtown, near manpur Indore, on the south slope of the Vindhya Range in Madhya Pradesh. The Chambal and its tributaries drain the Malwa region of northwestern Madhya Pradesh, while its tributary, the Banas, which rises in the Aravalli Range, drains southeastern Rajasthan.
