The monitoring commenced in the year 1969 with the establishment of 3 observation wells and since, then the number of monitoring station are being increased regularly so as to get the overall picture of ground water scenario in different hydrogeological set up of the state. Most of the area in Himachal Pradesh is hilly enclosing few small intermontane valleys. The traditional ground water structures under observation at present are dugwells and are mostly located in the valley areas only. Therefore, the ground water regime monitoring programme is concentrated mainly in valley areas of the state and some places in hard rock areas. All the 128 National Hydrograph Stations are located only in 7 districts out of the 12 districts in Himachal Pradesh. The reason being hilly terrain, hard approachability and insignificant number of structures available for monitoring. The average annual rainfall in the state varies from 600 mm to more than 2400 mm. The rainfall increases from south to north.

  • Spatial Distribution of Annual Rainfall in Himachal Pradesh and Its Implication in Farming
    Himachal Journal of Agricultural Research 42(2): 115-125 (2016) Spatial distribution of annual rainfall in Himachal Pradesh and its implication in farming Rajendra Prasad and Anupam Sharma Department of Agronomy, Forages and Grassland Management, College of Agriculture CSK Himachal Pradesh Krishi Vishvavidyalaya, Palampur - 176062, India. Corresponding author: [email protected] Received: 21 August 2016; Accepted: 20 December 2016 Abstract Spatial distribution of annual rainfall and rainy days, dependable rainfall and rainfall trends in Himachal Pradesh was assessed using rainfall data(1971-2014) of 40 rain gauge stations. The normal annual rainfall of Himachal Pradesh was observed to be 1267 ± 375 mm spreading over 66 rainy days. Highest annual rainfall to the tune of 1000 mm at 75% probability was noticed in 16 (with 6 located alone in the Kangra district) out of 40 rain gauge stations. An expected annual rainfall in the range of 400-600 mm was observed in mid and high hill regions of the state comprising districts of Shimla with two stations and Mandi and Kinnaur each with single station. Ten observatories indicated significant decreasing trend in rainfall while seven showed increasing trend. Increasing trend in annual rainfall was observed mainly in Shimla (Kumarsain, Rohru and Shimla) and Mandi (Karsog, Chachiot and Sarkaghat) districts. Ten stations had an increasing trend in number of annual rainy days, whereas, six had decreasing trends. The heavy rainfall event trends were non- significant at most of the stations except Pachhad and Sundernagar where it was observed to be decreasing under 75-100 mm category. In more than 100 mm category, decreasing trend at Palampur, Nurpur, Nichar and Pachhad and increasing at Malan, Berthin and Sarkaghat was observed.

  • Forest Fire Hazards Vulnerability and Risk Assessment in Sirmaur District Forest of Himachal Pradesh (India): a Geospatial Approach
    International Journal of Geo-Information Article Forest Fire Hazards Vulnerability and Risk Assessment in Sirmaur District Forest of Himachal Pradesh (India): A Geospatial Approach Jagpal Singh Tomar 1, Nikola Kranjˇci´c 2,* , Bojan Ðurin 3 , Shruti Kanga 1 and Suraj Kumar Singh 1 1 Centre for Climate Change and Water Research, Suresh Gyan Vihar University, Jaipur 302017, India; [email protected] (J.S.T.); [email protected] (S.K.); [email protected] (S.K.S.) 2 Faculty of Geotechnical Engineering, University of Zagreb, Hallerova aleja 7, 42000 Varaždin, Croatia 3 Department of Civil Engineering, University North, 42000 Varaždin, Croatia; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: The Himachal Pradesh district’s biggest natural disaster is the forest fire. Forest fire threat evaluation, model construction, and forest management using geographic information system techniques will be important in this proposed report. A simulation was conducted to evaluate the driving forces of fires and their movement, and a hybrid strategy for wildfire control and geostatistics was developed to evaluate the impact on forests. The various methods we included herein are those based on information, such as knowledge-based AHP-crisp for figuring out forest-fire risk, using such variables as forest type, topography, land-use and land cover, geology, geomorphology, settlement, drainage, and road. The models for forest-fire ignition, progression, and action are built on various spatial scales, which are three-dimensional layers. To create a forest fire risk model using Citation: Tomar, J.S.; Kranjˇci´c,N.; three different methods, a study was made to find out how much could be lost in a certain amount of Ðurin, B.; Kanga, S.; Singh, S.K.

The monitoring commenced in the year 1969 with the establishment of 3 observation wells and since, then the number of monitoring station are being increased regularly so as to get the overall picture of ground water scenario in different hydrogeological set up of the state. Most of the area in Himachal Pradesh is hilly enclosing few small intermontane valleys. The traditional ground water structures under observation at present are dugwells and are mostly located in the valley areas only. Therefore, the ground water regime monitoring programme is concentrated mainly in valley areas of the state and some places in hard rock areas. All the 128 National Hydrograph Stations are located only in 7 districts out of the 12 districts in Himachal Pradesh. The reason being hilly terrain, hard approachability and insignificant number of structures available for monitoring. The average annual rainfall in the state varies from 600 mm to more than 2400 mm. The rainfall increases from south to north. Dharamshala in district Kangra, receives the 2nd highest rainfall of about 3000 mm in the Country.
