    IDENTIFICATION OF GLACIAL FLOOD HAZARDS IN Arshad Ashraf*† , Rakhshan Roohi*, Rozina Naz* KARAKORAM RANGE USING REMOTE SENSING and Naveed Mustafa* TECHNIQUEAND RISK ANALYSIS ABSTRACT importance of this situation has magnified over the past decades due to increase in numbers of glacial Glacial Lake Outburst Floods (GLOFs) are great lakes that are formed at the glacier terminus. Thirty- hazard for the downstream communities in context of five destructive out-burst floods have been recorded changing climatic conditions in the glaciated region of for the Karakoram Range during the past two hundred Pakistan. The remote sensing data of Landsat ETM+ years (Hewitt, 1982). Some of the ice dams may have was utilized for the identification of glacial lakes been the result of glacier surges. There is susceptible to posing GLOF hazard in Karakoram unambiguous evidence of large reservoirs ponded by Range. Overall, 887 glacial lakes are identified in 18 glaciers. Kelly (1988) outlines the historical different river-basins of Karakoram Range, out of development and disappearance of Virjerab lake in which 16 lakes are characterized as potentially Hunza due to glacial motion. There occurred a series dangerous in terms of GLOF. The analysis of of GLOF events in upper Hunza valley, central community’s response to GLOF events of 2008 in the Karakoram Range, within short time periods during central Karakoram Range indicated gaps in 2008 that had a devastating effect on the nearby coordination and capacity of the local communities to communities (Roohi, Ashraf, Mustafa and Mustafa, cope with such natural hazards. A regular monitoring 2008). The people residing at considerable distances of hot spots and potential GLOF lakes along with downstream from the unstable lakes are facing a capacity-building of local communities and institutions serious threat to their lives and property.

Annual peak fl ow occurs 325 BC. The discovery of an early advanced civilization between June and late September, during the southwest in the Indus Valley (Meadows and Meadows, 1999 and monsoon.

    REVISED DRAFT EXPERIENCES WITH INTER BASIN WATER TRANSFERS FOR IRRIGATION, DRAINAGE AND FLOOD MANAGEMENT ICID TASK FORCE ON INTER BASIN WATER TRANSFERS Edited by Jancy Vijayan and Bart Schultz August 2007 International Commission on Irrigation and Drainage (ICID) 48 Nyaya Marg, Chanakyapuri New Delhi 110 021 INDIA Tel: (91-11) 26116837; 26115679; 24679532; Fax: (91-11) 26115962 E-mail: [email protected] Website: http://www.icid.org 1 Foreword FOREWORD Inter Basin Water Transfers (IBWT) are in operation at a quite substantial scale, especially in several developed and emerging countries. In these countries and to a certain extent in some least developed countries there is a substantial interest to develop new IBWTs. IBWTs are being applied or developed not only for irrigated agriculture and hydropower, but also for municipal and industrial water supply, flood management, flow augmentation (increasing flow within a certain river reach or canal for a certain purpose), and in a few cases for navigation, mining, recreation, drainage, wildlife, pollution control, log transport, or estuary improvement. Debates on the pros and cons of such transfers are on going at National and International level. New ideas and concepts on the viabilities and constraints of IBWTs are being presented and deliberated in various fora. In light of this the Central Office of the International Commission on Irrigation and Drainage (ICID) has attempted a compilation covering the existing and proposed IBWT schemes all over the world, to the extent of data availability. The first version of the compilation was presented on the occasion of the 54th International Executive Council Meeting of ICID in Montpellier, France, 14 - 19 September 2003.

    Illala Streams, Tigray, Northern Ethiopia Abstract

    Research Article http://dx.doi.org/10.4314/mejs.v13i1. 4 Quantitative Geomorphological Parameters Analysis for the Aynalem- Illala Streams, Tigray, Northern Ethiopia Fethangest Woldemariyam Tesema1*, Gebrerufael Hailu Kahsay2 and Berihu Abadi Berhe1 1School of Earth Sciences, College of Natural and Computational Sciences, P.O. Box 231, Mekelle University, Mekelle, Ethiopia (*[email protected]). 2Institute of Geo-information and Earth observation Sciences, Mekelle University P.O. Box231, Mekelle, Ethiopia. Abstract Morphometric analysis is the measurement and mathematical analysis of the configuration of the surface, shape, and dimension of landforms. The objective of this study is to characterize the Aynalem and Illala streams using the morphometric parameter. The topographic map at a scale of 1:50,000 taken from the Ethiopian National Mapping Agency was used to characterize the linear and areal aspects. ASTER Digital Elevation Model with 10m resolution was used to characterize the relief aspect. The Arc GIS 10.4.1 was used during the morphometric analysis. The analysis result of the streams is summarized based on the linear, areal, and relief aspects. The area is characterized by a dendritic drainage pattern which is characteristics of massive hard rock terrain. The Aynalem and Illala streams are 4th and 5th order streams. Considering the number of streams in the Aynalem (75.81%) and Illala (74.66%) is composed of first-order streams that indicate a flashy flood and the mean bifurcation value of Aynalem (6.8) and Illala (4.7) shows that the Aynalem area is more structurally affected than Illala but both show less stream integration. The analysis of areal aspects such as elongation ratio, circularity ratio, and form factor has indicated that both streams are characterized as elongated streams, this implies that both streams are flowing in heterogeneous rock material, presences of structural effect, and slow runoff discharge.

It is obviously your own institution that provides you the education facility at your door step. Allama Iqbal Open University is the unique in Pakistan which provides education to all citizens; without any discrimination of age, gender, ethnicity, region or religion. It is no doubt that our beloved country had been facing numerous issues since its creation. The initial days were very tough for the newly state but with the blessings of Allah Almighty, it made progress day by day. However, due to conspiracy of external powers and some weaknesses of our leaders, the internal situation of East Pakistan rapidly changed and the end was painful as we lost not only the land but also our Bengali brothers. After the war of 1971, the people and leaders of Pakistan were forced to rethink the future of the remaining country.

Humanities & Social Sciences 8 (2012 5) 1200-1217 ~ ~ ~ УДК 009 China’s Grand Strategy, Kashmir and Pakistan: Transformation of Islamabad from a Spoiler State to Frontline State for Beijing Dr. Suneel Kumar* Department of Strategic and Regional Studies, University of Jammu Jammu-180006-Jammu and Kashmir, India 1 Received 4.11.2011, received in revised form 11.11.2011, accepted 16.07.2012 China in collaboration with Pakistan has integrated Kashmir in its grand strategy to contain India. Beijing’s involvement in various mega projects related to construction and development of strategic infrastructure in the Pakistan-Occupied-Kashmir (PoK), influx of People’s Liberation Army (PLA) in the Gilgit-Baltistan region, adoption of visa-related controversial policies and invitation to India’s Kashmiri separatist leader, are being seen in the India’s official and strategic circles, as the encirclement of India by China through Kashmir. During the Cold War era, Beijing had bestowed Pakistan with the status of ‘spoiler state’ in order to weaken the natural predominance of India in the South Asian region. Nevertheless, now, it is being viewed that China has transformed Pakistan into a ‘ frontline state’ to contain the increasing Indian influence at regional and global levels.
