  • Background the Wular Lake Constitute a Significant Linkage in The
    University of Kashmir, Srinagar Background The Wular lake constitute a significant linkage in the hydrographic regime of Kashmir valley by acting as a huge absorption basin for flood waters. The lake with its associated wetlands support rich biodiversity as it is an important habitat of migratory water birds and fish resources. The lake has also assumed a significant status in the regional economy of the catchment population as a substantial proportion of the local population is dependent on this lake for their livelihood and employment. A considerable area of the lake has been reclaimed over the period of time which has been utilized for paddy cultivation, willow plantation, residential settlement expansion and other developmental activities in response to the growing economic dependence of the catchment population on the varied products of the lake. The local economy mostly hinges on the subsistence primary economic sector and its allied activities which derive their sustenance from the varied resources of the lake. The daily extraction of the various lake products like fish, water nuts, vegetable products, fodder and fuel wood not only facilitate to meet the daily domestic requirements of the local households but also serve as a source of income to the economically weaker and marginalized sections of the catchment population. However the lack of well defined policy and regulatory mechanisms for integrated management led to cross sectoral conflicts and overall degradation of this important wetland and its varied resource base. Consequently, the area of the lake got reduced from 157. 74 sq. km. in 1911 to 86. 71 sq. km. in 2007.

  • B.A. 6Th Semester Unit IV Geography of Jammu and Kashmir
    B.A. 6th Semester Unit IV Geography of Jammu and Kashmir Introduction The state of Jammu and Kashmir constitutes northern most extremity of India and is situated between 32o 17′ to 36o 58′ north latitude and 37o 26′ to 80o 30′ east longitude. It falls in the great northwestern complex of the Himalayan Ranges with marked relief variation, snow- capped summits, antecedent drainage, complex geological structure and rich temperate flora and fauna. The state is 640 km in length from north to south and 480 km from east to west. It consists of the territories of Jammu, Kashmir, Ladakh and Gilgit and is divided among three Asian sovereign states of India, Pakistan and China. The total area of the State is 222,236 km2 comprising 6.93 per cent of the total area of the Indian territory including 78,114 km2 under the occupation of Pakistan and 42,685 km2 under China. The cultural landscape of the state represents a zone of convergence and diffusion of mainly three religio-cultural realms namely Muslims, Hindus and Buddhists. The population of Hindus is predominant in Jammu division, Muslims are in majority in Kashmir division while Buddhists are in majority in Ladakh division. Jammu is the winter capital while Srinagar is the summer capital of the state for a period of six months each. The state constitutes 6.76 percent share of India's total geographical area and 41.83 per cent share of Indian Himalayan Region (Nandy, et al. 2001). It ranks 6th in area and 17th in population among states and union territories of India while it is the most populated state of Indian Himalayan Region constituting 25.33 per cent of its total population.

  • Master Plan for Ganderbal
    Draft MASTER PLAN FOR GANDERBAL -2032 Master Plan January 2013 FEEDBACK INFRA PRIVATE LIMITED & B E CONSULTANT TOWN PLANNING ORGANISATION, KASHMIR Government of Jammu and Kashmir Ganderbal Master Plan - 2032 Preface Cities have become concentrates of intelligence and demand large investments for their development. Large resources are spent on the development of various urban settlements but the condition of these towns continues to deteriorate because of piecemeal nature of expenditure and lack of definitive development schemes. Adhoc efforts neither result in better environment nor strengthen the economic base. In view of this, Town Planning Organisation, Kashmir has undertaken the preparation of the Master Plans for various towns, which envisages all encompassing development of these towns. Master Plans are expected to give impetus to the development and economic potential of the towns. In the first phase, the Master Plans of district headquarters have been taken up which will be followed up by Master Plans of other small and medium towns. The Government has also decided to outsource few Master Plans; however, the Master Plan for Ganderbal, which is on the threshold of becoming Class I town, has been outsourced to M/S Feedback Infra Private Limited, Gurgaon. The Master Plan-Ganderbal (2012-32) is the first planning effort in Kashmir region that has been outsourced to any private consultant by Town Planning Organisation, Kashmir. The studies involved in the preparation of Master Plan for Ganderbal (2012-32) concerns with the areas crucial to planning and development of the region. It has been a great privilege for M/S Feedback Infra Private Limited, Gurgaon to undertake the assignment of formulating the Master Plan of Ganderbal (2012-32).

Gujarati Science College, Indore (M.P.) Abstract: The present study was carried out to evaluate the water quality status of Anchar lake Kashmir whole year from January 2013 to December 2013. Anchar lake, an urban shallow basin lake with a maximum depth of 2.6 meters was getting modified as a result of cultural eutrophication due to anthropogenic pressure, siltation and the effluent released from Sheri-Kashmir Institute of Medical Sciences (SKIMS). The physico-chemical characteristics assessed at seven selected sites for pH, conductivity, temperature, depth, dissolved oxygen (DO), Total hardness, calcium hardness, magnesium hardness, free CO2, sulphate, phosphate, iron, ammonical nitrogen, sodium and potassium. Result shows positive correlation among all the physico-chemical parameters except DO. The study reveals that site 7 near SKIMS was highly nutrient rich with respect to other sites. I. Introduction Water is the Universal solvent, abundant and useful component, without it life is impossible. These water bodies are not only important for water, but also for their ecological importance as they provide habitat to aquatic flora and fauna including different species of birds. They may also comprise an important component for sustainable tourism and recreation.

  • Taxonomic and Functional Plant Diversity Patterns Along an Elevational Gradient Through Treeline Ecotone in Kashmir
    Tropical Ecology 59(2): 211–224, 2018 ISSN 0564-3295 © International Society for Tropical Ecology www.tropecol.com Taxonomic and functional plant diversity patterns along an elevational gradient through treeline ecotone in Kashmir SUBZAR AHMAD NANDA, ZAFAR A. RESHI*, MANZOOR-UL-HAQ, BILAL AHMAD LONE & SHAKOOR AHMAD MIR Department of Botany, University of Kashmir, Srinagar 190006, J&K, India Abstract: Species distribution and community assembly patterns along elevation gradients have been studied world over but not much information in this regard is available about the Indian Himalayan region, including the Kashmir Himalaya. It is in this context that we studied elevational (2200–3800 m) patterns in plant species richness, functional and taxonomic diversity of various plant groups with particular reference to treeline ecotone (3200–3700 m). Present study revealed that the patterns of species richness were not consistent across taxonomic or functional groups of plants. Four patterns of species richness in relation to elevation were observed: low- elevation plateau with a mid-peak in bryophytes and lichens, mid-peak pattern in pteridophytes and inverted hump-shaped pattern in monocots. During the present investigation, rapid changes in species composition and physiognomy were recorded in the treeline ecotone over small elevational increases. Number of tree species in this zone declined rapidly from four species at an elevation of 3200 m to one at 3700 m. While from 2200 m to 3200 m the vegetation was predominated by fir (Abies pindrow) forming a closed canopy forest, but beyond 3200 m its density decreased rapidly with concomitant increase in the density of birch (Betula utilis).
