  • Exec Summary
    STUDY ON PLANNING OF WATER RESOURCES OF RAJASTHAN Executive Summary Project Background The State Water Policy of Government of Rajasthan, February 2010, provides for development of its Water resources in a well planned way. All new projects shall be planned based on micro watershed planning basis so as to ensure equity in use of surplus water. It is on this account that the Government of Rajasthan took up study to review and update all River Basin Master Plans for the integrated development and management of all its water resources. In this connection necessary provision of funds were made in EC funded State Partnership Program (SPP) under implementation in Rajasthan State. The earlier comprehensive study on water planning for different river basins in Rajasthan State was carried out by TAHAL-WAPCOS Consultants during year 1994-1998. This study was considered quite old and had much reduced relevance in today’s context. The present study therefore envisages to take-up review and fresh planning of all the water resources of Rajasthan based on updated water resources data and modern techniques now available in this field of study encompassing all necessary provisions made in the new water policy of the State Government. The purpose of this assignment is to prepare a long term plan and policy for development and management of the water resources of the State of Rajasthan, both surface (internal and external) and ground water, on comprehensive and integrated basis. The period of planning envisaged is 2010-2060. Scope of Work 1. Data Collection 2. Analysis of Agroclimatic Zone wise hydrology, temperature over a period of 20 years, find all changes in precipitation, no.

This programme must be transparent and holistic, and incorporate any new methods available through ongoing research, addressing an array of parameters related to the survival of the species by using the blend of the best available science and technology. In this current census of rhinos in West Bengal the tried and tested method of “Total Count” has been adopted. Simultaneously, methods of genetic analysis and identifying individual DNA is also being introduced.

February, 2014; accepted ............................, 2014) ABSTRACT The water of Kota Barrage is mainly used for domestic uses and bathing, besides irrigation and aquac- ulture. Seasonal variations in benthic fauna and selected Physico-chemical parameters of Kota Barrage Dam have been studied on the basis of the samples collected during monthly surveys for a period of one year (November, 2004 to October, 2005) which revealed interesting interrelationship among various factors. This Dam is affected by pollution (industrial specially Thermal Power Plant effluents and domestic) as indicated by low dissolved oxygen. Based on depth of visibility values Kota Barrage Dam could be categorized as “Moderately eutrophic” whereas nitrate nitrogen values of Kota Barrage dam indicated “Mesotrophic” status. On the other hand hardness values of this Dam were “Moderately hard”. The species diversity was found to influence due to water pollution in Kota Barrage. Despite this the biodiversity of macroinvertebrates was appreciably high with recorded 27 species. Most dominant benthic species encountered were Melanoides tuberculata, Bellamya bengalensis, Gyraulus convexiusculus, Indoplanorbis exustus and Lymnaea acuminata.

  • Application of Geoinformatics for Landscape Assessment and Conserving Forest Biodiversity in Northeast India
    Application of Geoinformatics for Landscape Assessment and Conserving Forest Biodiversity in Northeast India Ashish Kumar1*, Bruce G. Marcot2, GautamTalukdar3 and P.S. Roy4 1CS Division, Ministry of Environment and Forests, Government of India, New Delhi - 110 003, India 2USDA Forest Service, Pacific Northwest Research Station, 620 S.W. Main Street, Portland, OR 97205, U.S.A. 3Wildlife Institute of India, Chandrabani, Dehradun - 248001, India. 4Indian Institute of Remote Sensing, Kalidas Road, Dehradun 248001, India. Abstract Herein, we summarize our work,within forest ecosystems of Garo Hills in northeast India, on mapping vegetation and land cover conditions, delineating wildlife habitat corridors among protected areas, evaluating forest conservation values of influence zones bordering protected areas, analyzing dispersion patterns of native forests, and determining potential effects of shifting-cultivation agriculture and anthropogenic stressors on an umbrella species (Asian elephant) as an indicator of forest biodiversity. This work demonstrates our use of multiple geoinformatic methods to help advise on conservation of native forests, wildlife, and biodiversity at the landscape scale. We also suggest some recent advances in geoinformatic techniques and models that could be further applied to our study area and beyond. Key words: Geoinformatics, Spatial Statistics, Forest Management, Biodiversity Conservation, Garo Hills, Meghalaya, Northeast India, Shifting Cultivation. 1. Introduction attributes for developing strategies to conserve biodiversity of native, tropical forests to help ensure sustainable use of Forest biodiversity -- the variety of life and its processes their goods and services. We highlight our salient findings within forest ecosystems -- provides a wide array of goods and discuss our methods, which entail use of remote sensing and services including timber and non-timber forest (RS) data and geographic information systems (GIS) for resources, amenity values, genetic resources, and mitigation landscape assessments.

  • Chapter 2 STUDY AREA
    Chapter 2 STUDY AREA . STUDY AREA An important inclusion in the National Parks family, Gorumara National Park (GNP) is famous for its prestigious inhabitant one-horned great Indian Rhino. This is one of the last few small pockets in Eastern India harboring natural population of Rhinoceros unicornis L., along with other mega and majestic herbivores like Indian Elephant, Gaur or Indian Bison and is covered with rich vegetation. GNP had been a wild land sanctuary (Vide notification no. 5181-FOR, date: 02.08.1949) and a reserved forest since 1895 (notification no. 3147- FOR, date: 2nd July, 1895 with corrections later on), under the Indian forest act (VII of 1878). Formerly, an area of 2129 acre was first declared as Gorumara Wild Life Sanctuary (GWLS) vide Gov. Notification no. 5181-For, date: 02.08.1949. Subsequently, the notification under the Wildlife (protection) act, 1972, [vide no. 5400- For, date: 24th June, 1976] covering a total area of 8.62 sq km declaring the area as GWLS. In 1994, with Govt. notification no. 319_ For, dated 31st January, 1994 was issued with the intention of declaring the area as GNP, with major extension of the existing GWLS and now it covered a total area of 79.99 sq km. On 21st November, 1995, following a reorganization of the forest directorate of West Bengal, the total area of the GNP, curved out of the Jalpaiguri forest division was handed over to the Wild Life Division – II under the Conservator of Forest, Wild Life Circle [vide GOV. of West Bengal notification no. 4983- For, date 25th September, 1995].
