Prof. Civil Engineering Department, Government Engineering Col- lege, Surat. Dr. P. R. Mehta Retired Principal, SVNIT, Surat ABSTRACT The objective of this paper is to study the groundwater seasonal and annual fluctuation and trend of groundwater level and its effect on groundwater level due to rainfall in coastal region Valsad and Navsari District of Gujarat State. Water level data of last 20 years of 100 wells were collected. The yearly and as per distance from sea variation of average groundwater level fluctuation is shown in graph for premonsoon, postmonsoon and annual, also groundwater level vs rainfall vs graph are draw to study their co-relation. The result shows that groundwater level shows a seasonal pattern of fluctuation. The variation of decadal average water level trend is increasing and average water level with the distance from sea shore is decreasing for Valsad district. The variation of decadal average water level trend is decreasing and average water level with the distance from sea shore is decreasing for Navsari district. When co- relating average annual water level with average annual rainfall the water level is increasing with rainfall. When co-relating it with good rainfall year, the water level is high compare to good rainfall year for both districts.

The lowering of groundwater levels has resulted in reduction in individual well yield, growth in well population, failure of bore wells, drying up of dug wells and increase in power consumption(Sukumar 2011). The pre and post monsoon water levels indicate the degree of saturation in aquifer. The extent of saturation in the aquifers is reflected in the status of static water levels. Rainfall is the main source of recharge and the aquifers get saturated by infiltration process.

    PLP 2016-17 - NAVSARI EXECUTIVE SUMMARY A. Introduction Navsari is primarily an agricultural district with Paddy, Sugarcane and horticulture as the predominant crops. The other major crops cultivated are Jowar, Tur, Groundnut, etc. About 47% of land holdings are with small and marginal farmers and the average size of the holdings is 0.55 Ha. The Potential Linked Credit Plan (PLP) for 2016-17 has been prepared aligning with the revised RBI guidelines on Priority Sector Lending. It estimates credit flow of `148170.16 lakh, of which, Crop Production sector has a major share of 26.8% at ` 39607.85 lakh. Term loan under agriculture is assessed at ` 54080.72 lakh accounting for about 57.6% of Total Agriculture and 36.5% of Total Priority Sector. Under MSME, `22580.75 lakh has been assessed as potential forming 15.2% of Priority Sector and balance at ` 31900.84 lakh has been estimated for other sectors like Exports, Education, Housing, etc. The activity- wise and block-wise assessment of potential is presented in Annexure I. The PLP projection for 2016-17 is lower by `23342.79 lakh when compared to the PLP for the year 2015- 16 representing an decrease of 13.5%. The PLP projection has been reassessed taking into consideration of disbursement made during last three years, availability of Infrastructure for exploiting the potential and capacity of the line department to provide extension support. Further, the PLP projection is higher by `24461.72 lakh when compared to the ACP target for the year 2015-16.

The most outstanding feature of our study is that we observed four species of mangrove and sixspecies of mangrove associate namely Avicennia marina, Sonneratia apetala, Salvadora persica, Acanthus illicifolius, Ipomoea pes caprae, Sesuviarum portulacastrum, Clerodendrum inerme, Derris heterophylla, Cressa cretica,and Aeluropus lagopoides.The dominant mangroves in these areas are Avicennia species and Acanthus illicifolius.Earlier works included Rhizophora mucronata which was not found during this study in any of the nine spots of mangrove forests.We have used the Jaccardian similarity index to analysis the floral diversity of our mangrove sites. Our studyhighlighted the relation between water quality parameters, environmental and anthropogenic stress and speciescomposition and structures of mangrove. Keywords: Quantitative assessment, anthropogenic pressures,water quality parameter 1. Introduction indicates that mangroves can change over from C3 to C4 photosynthesis under salt stress. Mangroves are prolific seed According to Chapman. 1976 coastal vegetation in India is producer that has higher viability as compared to other types categorized as – (1) marine algae(seagrasses) of littoral and of plants, also they are quick to attain height and biomass sublittoral zone, (2) algal vegetation of brackish and (Alongi. 2002). saltwater marshes, (3) vegetation of sand dunes, (4) vegetation of drift lines, (5) vegetation of shingle beach, (6) Though they breed sand flies and mosquitoes their benefits vegetation of coastal cliffs, rocky shores and coral reefs exceed their few disadvantages.

Monitoring of groundwater level and chemical quality furnish valuable information on the ground water regime characteristics of the different hydrogeological units moreover, analysis of these valuable data collected from existing observation wells during May, August, November and January in each ground water year (June to May) indicate the pattern of ground water movement, changes in recharge-discharge relationship, behavior of water level and qualitative & quantitative changes of ground water regime in time and space. It also helps in identifying and delineating areas prone to decline of water table and piezometric surface due to large scale withdrawal of ground water for industrial, agricultural and urban water supply requirement. Further water logging prone areas can also be identified with historical water level data analysis. This year book contains the data and analysis of ground water regime monitoring for the year 2018-19.

After presenting the general demo- graphy of Baroda state, this article presents an analysis of data on caste, tribe and religion. It provides classification of villages and towns by the number of castes and tribes found in them, and discusses the issues posed by them, especially the issue of single-caste villages. This article describes the horizontal spread of various castes, tribes and religiousCOMMERCIAL minorities and points out its implications. In the end, it discusses the problem of urbanisation, classifying the towns by ethnic groups found in them.
