K. Puram, New Delhi-110066 FOREWORD Salinity is a significant challenge and poses risks to sustainable development of Coastal regions of India. If left unmanaged, salinity has serious implications for water quality, biodiversity, agricultural productivity, supply of water for critical human needs and industry and the longevity of infrastructure. The Coastal Salinity has become a persistent problem due to ingress of the sea water inland. This is the most significant environmental and economical challenge and needs immediate attention. The coastal areas are more susceptible as these are pockets of development in the country. Most of the trade happens in the coastal areas which lead to extensive migration in the coastal areas. This led to the depletion of the coastal fresh water resources. Digging more and more deeper wells has led to the ingress of sea water into the fresh water aquifers turning them saline. The rainfall patterns, water resources, geology/hydro-geology vary from region to region along the coastal belt. These affect the extent of salinity along the coast. The whole coast line is affected by salinity although the extent of salinity is not the same. To understand the effect of salinity in coastal States and the remedial measures adopted by them to tackle this problem, a Technical Committee has been formed with the members from Coastal States, Central Ground Water Board, Geological Survey of India and National Institute of Hydrology. This committee has made studies on the measures adopted by various coastal States to tackle the sea water ingress in coastal areas. I take immense pleasure in presenting this report on "Problems of Salination of Land in Coastal Areas of India and Suitable Protection Measures". I would like to place on record the earnest efforts of Shri Ashwin B Pandya and Shri Ghanshyam Jha, both former Chairman, CWC and Chairman of the Technical Committee for guiding the entire team in the preparation of this report. I would like to compliment officers and staff of Hydrological Studies Organization of CWC for their efforts in preparing this report. I also express my sincere thanks to National Institute of Hydrology, Coastal State Governments, Central Ground Water Board and Geological survey of India for providing the necessary input for preparing and enhancing the effectiveness of contents of this report. I hope this report will be useful for taking suitable measures to address the salinity ingress along the coastal areas. (Na1·endra Kumar) TEL.

RD&GR Preface Salinity ingress in coastal areas is one of the major chaJJenges for water resources planners of India. Salinity ingress in coastal areas poses a risk to the sustainable development of the coastal areas. Proactive salinity management is required to arrest the coastal salinity ingress. In this report the suitable protection measures which have been adopted for protecting the coastal lands from salinity intrusion have been discussed. Some of these measures are already being implemented I adopted by some of the Coastal States, and other Coastal States may adopt such measures after duly considering local conditions. The Hydrology (Central) Directorate of the Hydrological Studies Organisation (HSO) has made considerable efforts in co-ordinating with the state governments to prepare the report which has been titled as "Problems of Salination of Land in Coastal Areas of India and Suitable Protection Measures". National Institute of Hydrology provided technical information which was available with them while undertaking different studies on water management in Coastal States. The report is an outcome of dedicated efforts of scientists of National Institute of Hydrology, officers of Hydrology (Central) Directorate of Central Water Commission. 1 express my sincere regards to Shri Ashwin B Pandya and Shri Ghanshyam Jha, both the former Chairman, CWC and Shri Narendra Kumar, Chairman, CWC and the Chairman of the Technical Committee for guiding the team with valuable suggestions and guidance for preparing the report. 1 would like to compliment the officers and staff of Hydrology (C) Directorate specially for their efforts in co-ordinating with States and for bringing out this report. I would like to thank Ms Anupama Sharma, Scientist-D, National Institute of Hydrology for providing valuable support in preparing the Report. I would like to thank the State governments in providing the valuable information without which this report would have never been complete. ~· (C.

Many members of this community shared a history of migration into Gujarat from the southern Arabian Peninsula, north Africa, Iran, Central Asia and the neighboring territories of the Indian subcontinent. I analyze two key aspects related to the making of a community of ii learned Muslim men in the fifteenth century - the production of a variety of texts in Persian and Arabic by learned Muslims and the construction of tomb shrines sponsored by the sultans of Gujarat.

  • A Geomorphic Study of the Incidence of Mud Along the Coastal Stretch Between Kelshi and Anjarle, Maharashtra Abstract
    A GEOMORPHIC STUDY OF THE INCIDENCE OF MUD ALONG THE COASTAL STRETCH BETWEEN KELSHI AND ANJARLE, MAHARASHTRA ABSTRACT INDIA has an extensive coastline of about 7500 km and the physical regime of the Indian shoreline is characterized by various forms like headlands, promontories, rocky shores, sand spits, barrier beaches, open beaches, embayments, estuaries, inlets, bays, marshy lands and offshore islands. Konkan extends from Damanganga River in the north to the Terekhol River in the south. The wide coastal belt is not uniform and varies between 40 and 50 km along the region. All along the region the shoreline is broken by frequent headlands and promontories, which are the sites of steep sea cliffs, sandy pocket beaches, drowned river valleys, small tidal inlets and major river creeks. There is almost a regular sequence of headlands and tidal inlets. Narrow, flat and low shoreline terraces are covered with thin coastal alluviums which border the tidal inlets. These land facets have contributed immensely to distinctiveness of the Konkan coast. Mud along Konkan The occurrence of mud was not very common along the Konkan coast of Maharashtra until recently. Many beaches such as Navapur (19° 46£), Revas (18°49J, Revdanda(18°32$, Shrivardhan (18°03j§, and Kelshi (17*56$ have however started showing signs of mud deposition since last decade or so. It is 1 not easy to trace the source of this mud. Many sources such as river flow, dredging in the near shore areas, reclamation of bays and scouring of continental shelf are normally suggested . The very existence of mud on intertidal beaches and in tidal inlets suggests a local fluctuation of sea level, variation in climatic conditions and decrease in tidal component.

Present study was carried out by conducting surveys for locating their nesting sites along coast of Ratnagiri district and 12 nests of White-bellied Sea Eagle Haliaeetus leucogaster at different sites along Velas to Dabhol were studied. Various ecological parameters such as nesting tree species, nesting tree height, nesting tree GBH, nest height, geo-coordinates, distance from coast, disturbance level were considered. WBSE was found to be most abundantly nesting (N =12) on Casuarina equisetifolia tree which, accounts to 83% of the total nesting trees and only 02 nests, just 17% of the total nesting trees studied, were on Sterculia foetida. In most cases, it was observed that WBSEs prefer nest trees with larger GBH as compared to same tree species of smaller girth. Location of nest from the supratidal mark was measured to study nesting preference about distance from the sea and we found that, the nearest nest was 30 m away from the coast and the farthest one was at a distance of around 900 m.
