In the grasslands, the communities know its detailed habitat requirements.

    Geomorphology of Mandvi to Mundra Coast, Kachchh, Western India

    24 Geosciences Research, Vol. 1, No. 1, November 2016 Geomorphology of Mandvi to Mundra Coast, Kachchh, Western India Heman V. Majethiya, Nishith Y. Bhatt and Paras M. Solanki Geology Department, M.G. Science Institute, Navrangpura, Ahmedabad – 380009. India Email: [email protected] Abstract. Landforms of coast between Mandvi and Mundra in Kachchh and their origin are described here. Various micro-geomorphic features such as delta, beaches (ridge & runnel), coastal dunes, tidal flat, tidal creek, mangrove, backwater, river estuary, bar, spit, saltpan etc. are explained. The delta sediment of Phot River is superimposed by tidal flat sediments deposited later during uplift in last 2000 years. Raise-beach, raise-tidal flat, firm sub-tidal mud pockets on beach, delta and parabolic dune remnants and palaeo-fore dune (Mundra dune) - all these features projects 3 to 4 m high palaeo-sea level than the present day. All these features are superimposed by present day active beach, dune, tidal flat, creek, spit, bar, lagoon, estuary and mangroves. All these are depositional features. Keywords: Coastal Geomorphology, mandvi, mundra, kachchh, landforms. 1 Introduction The micro-geomorphic features, their distribution and origin in Mandvi to Mundra segment of Kachchh are described here. Tides, waves and currents are common coastal processes responsible for erosion, transportation and deposition of the sediments and produce erosional and depositional landform features in the study area. Tides are the rise and fall of sea levels caused by the combined effects of the gravitational forces exerted by the Moon and the Sun and the rotation of the Earth. Most places in the ocean usually experience two high tides and two low tides each day (semi-diurnal tide), but some locations experience only one high and one low tide each day (diurnal tide).

    Developing India's Largest Wind Park

    10 January, 2013 For immediate release Suzlon crosses 1,000 MW in Kutch; developing India’s largest wind park Wind park development initiated in August 2005 Features full range of Suzlon’s turbine models, including latest S9X Pune: The Kutch wind park, being developed by the Suzlon Group – the world’s fifth largest* wind turbine maker, has crossed 1,000 MW (1 GW) of installed capacity. This achievement makes the wind park one of the largest of its kind in India, a proud accomplishment for the state of Gujarat and Suzlon. Suzlon currently has a total installed capacity of over 1,500 MW in the state of Gujarat, accounting for nearly 50 per cent of the total wind power installations. The other locations in Gujarat where Suzlon has installations are in the districts of Jamnagar, Porbandar, Rajkot and Bhavnagar. Speaking on this achievement, Mr Rohit Modi, CEO – India and emerging markets, Suzlon Energy Limited, said: “Suzlon is proud to be playing such a vital role in powering the state of Gujarat through sustainable energy solutions. Suzlon credits this achievement to the trust, support and encouragement of the state government, customers, policy makers, state power utilities, suppliers and local communities who have played a vital role in bringing this dream project to fruition. “The Kutch wind park is a powerful illustration of how Suzlon serves its customers and the communities we work in. We take this opportunity to renew our commitment to Gujarat and to harness the incredible wind potential in the state.” This wind park lights up the lives of the local community through Suzlon Foundation’s interventions.
