  • Effect of Mega Bridge on Hydro-Morphodynamics of Waterfront Facilities in Wide Estuarine Harbours- a Sustainable Development
    Available online at www.sciencedirect.com ScienceDirect Aquatic Procedia 4 ( 2015 ) 341 – 348 INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON WATER RESOURCES, COASTAL AND OCEAN ENGINEERING (ICWRCOE 2015) Effect of Mega Bridge on Hydro-morphodynamics of Waterfront Facilities in Wide Estuarine Harbours- A Sustainable Development A.A. Purohit a*, M.M. Vaidya a, K.A. Chavan a, M.D. Kudale a aCentral Water & Power Research Station, Khadakwasla P.O, Pune 411024, India Abstract Mumbai being traditionally the epicentre of India’s commerce, the narrow stretch of land (Mumbai Island) has seen a steady increase in population despite obvious spatial constraints. Hence for easing the pressure on the island city, development of Navi Mumbai on east has been identified. However lack of easy connectivity to Navi Mumbai has stunted its growth and pressure on Mumbai’s infrastructure viz. roads/bridges continues to mount. As such to cater the need of road traffic/avoid traffic jams, it is inevitable to have Mega Bridge (MTHL) connecting Mumbai to Navi Mumbai spanning across entire width (17 km) of wide estuarine region, wherein major ports viz. Mumbai and Jawaharlal Nehru exist. These ports are facing problem of increased siltation. Hence to assess effect of MTHL consisting of hundreds of piers, which may have detrimental effect on existing waterfront facilities from hydro-morphodynamic aspect, studies are essential to ensure that development is sustainable. The effect of MTHL under complex hydrodynamic condition is compared by developing mathematical model for Mumbai/JN port area. The model shows 95% and 90% agreement for water level & current respectively with the prototype. The effect of Mega Bridge, studied from hydro-morphodynamic considerations on existing waterfront facilities in Mumbai/JN port area is insignificant and may not hamper smooth functioning and as such is a sustainable development.

Volume 4, Issue 1 (May. - Jun. 2013), PP 52-57 www.Iosrjournals.Org Climate Change and Fishermen In and Around Uran. Dist Raigad.(Maharashtra) Sandhya Kupekar and *Balasaheb Kulkarni Mahatma Phule A.S.C.College, Panvel (Raigad) 410 206. * Institute of Science, Madam Cama Road, Mumbai.400 032. Abstract: Fish which is an important diet of millions across the world is under severe threat caused by climate change. Changes in fish population and ecosystem from climate change are likely to have resulting impacts on fisheries sector and national economics. Climate change may also directly affect fishing operations and fishing communities independently of impacts on fish and ecosystem. Uran coast which forms the part of main land of Konkan lies along the Eastern of Bombay harbor opposite Colaba. Coastal ecosystem in and around Uran is very likely to be affected by climate change. However, illiterate fishermen community is not aware regarding causes of climate change and its terrible consequences. Therefore, a survey is being conducted, on what fishermen in Uran and around Uran think about climate change, climate change science, and schemes of State and central Government of India to fight out climate change effects. The aim of the survey was to identify whether fishermen, knows that climate change is real one and their attitude towards possible issues of climate change. Over 500 fishermen in and around Uran were surveyed during January to May 2010 for their views on climate change issues.

  • Bombay (Town & Island)
    CENSUS OF INDIA VOLUME X BOMBAY (TOWN & ISLAND) PART IV. HISTORY S. M. EDWARDES, I.e.s. BOMBAY: fED AT THE "TIMES OF INDIA" PRESS. CONTENTS. INTRODUCTORY NOTE .. , PART 1.-" Heptanesia"- Chapter I.-Mumbadevi ... 1 Ohapter ([.-Islam ~2 Ohllpter III.-Nossa Senhora de Esperan9a 2D PART n.-" The Island of the Good Life." Eleven Periods 42 INTRODUCTORY NOTE. The reason for the appearance of this first volume is to be found in a letter No. 106, despatched by the Government of India, Home Department, to the Local Government on the 12th July 1900. In the course of that letter the following words occur :- " For t.hese reasons, and also in view of the fact that no separate report was written on the census of Bombay City in 1891, while the earlier reports are in many ways defective, the Local Government and the Cor­ poration will doubtless desire that the l'aport of the census taken in the first year of the new century should not only examine thoroughly the current statistics, but should deal w01'tMly with the history and grozcth of the Oz't.if qf Bombay. Am pie materials for such an account are ready to hand in the three volumes of notes and records collected by Sir .James Campbell, and printed under the orders of the Local Government in 1893-94, &c." Now Sir James Oampbell's materials roughly relate to the period 1661-1800 A.D. only; and it appeared to me that no history of the Island could be called 111 any sense complete, which omitted to deal with the colonisation and circumstances of Bombay during the three earlier epochs, Hindu, Mahommedan, and Portuguese i and which also omitted to notice the chief events of the 19th century.
