Mahanadi Delta
Study Area - Mahanadi Delta Mahanadi delta is formed by a network of three major rivers: Mahanadi, Brahmhani and Baitarini draining into the Bay of Bengal. The coastline of the delta is about 200 km long which stretches from south near Chilika to north up to Dhamra River. Using SRTM 30m digital surface elevation data, area within 5m contour from the coast line has been extracted within the vicinity of Mahanadi delta (Figure 1). Figure 1 SRTM 5m filled contour (shown as light blue) overlaid on LULC map of Mahandi Delta The 5m contour spread across districts of Khordha, Puri, Jagatsinghpur, Kendrapara, Jajpur and Bhadrak. Chilika lake is also within 5m contour line and within the Mahanadi delta. The district Baleswar, in the extreme north is within 5m contour, but it is outside the Mahanadi delta. The geomorphological map (Figure 2) of the region (Source: Bhuvan-NRSC) also indicates that these features lie in coastal region of Mahanadi and adjacent river systems. Using the above criteria, five districts, namely, Khordha, Puri, Jagatsinghpur, Kendrapara and Bhadrak have been considered as the study area for Mahanadi Delta (Figure 3). The north and south bounds of the study areas have been defined using the geomorphological map, and Jajpur has been excluded, as it is not lying in the Mahanadi river system, though part of coastal zone. The total study area is 13137.679sq km and consisting of 5 administrative districts and 45 Blocks (sub-district) as shown in Figures 3 and 4 respectively. In Table 1 the physical area of the blocks/districts has been provided. -

The cyclone caused very heavy rainfall over Odisha leading to floods, and strong gale wind leading to large scale damage to gopalpur port under construction. The damage had occurred to Breakwater, Groynes, Berths, Dredger, Barges, Survey Boats, Electrical Lines, Boundary Walls, Admin Building and Site offices etc. Heavy siltation was found in the channel and harbour basin and washed out rock from breakwater was scattered in the harbour area. Various sunken objects both ferrous and non-ferrous are found above and below seabed. The berm breakwater without the primary armour has flattened with a width of about 120 m. The top level which was about 5 m above water level has been lowered by 8 m to 10 m i.e, 3 m to 5 m below water level. The major restoration work is to build the berm breakwater from 900 m to 1730 m on top of the flattened portion. -
Coastal Tourism in Odisha and Its Impact on Beach Degradation
Article can be accessed online at http://www.publishingindia.com COASTAL TOURISM IN ODISHA AND ITS IMPACT ON BEACH DEGRADATION Soumendra Nath Biswas* Keywords: Abstract: Coastal resources throughout the Odisha Coast are the famous attraction for the tourists. At the same time mass tourism in this region is a major contributor to sewage and solid waste pollution, deforestation, coastal erosion and sedimentation from construction activities. Beach degradation from tourism depends on the number of tourists inflow, the rate of growth of the tourism industry, improper planning and lack of control. Tourism-related physical changes are also widespread for expanding tourism infrastructure projects. The present study is an effort to examine the role of Coastal tourism in Odisha, especially in Puri, Konark, Gopalpur and Chandipur which affect the socio-economic life of the local communities and environmental degradation of the quality of beaches. In the study area, development was based on a rapid growth of tourist demand and chaotic development of tourist facilities. Erosion is very common in Odisha coast. Solutions like sand re-nourishment have not stopped the erosion process. The rising number of tourists exerts a strong pressure on these beaches. Key objective of this paper is to find out how to maintain balance between positive and negative impacts of beach tourism to get optimum benefits and maintain sustainability by protecting it from the environmental catastrophe, manmade hazards followed by beach degradation. Keywords: Coastal Tourism, Recreation, Beach-Dune System, Ecotourism, Snorkeling, Environmental Degradation, Catastrophe, Sustainability, Erosion the successful development and well being of other activities INTRODUCTION and processes” (Butler, 1993, p. -

CHALLENGES in EFFICIENT WATER MANAGEMENT in DAMODAR RIVER VALLEY - ROLE of DVC 1 2 Dipankar Chaudhuri ; Satyabrata Banerjee
CHALLENGES IN EFFICIENT WATER MANAGEMENT IN DAMODAR RIVER VALLEY - ROLE OF DVC 1 2 Dipankar Chaudhuri ; Satyabrata Banerjee Abstract The Damodar River Valley has an extensive history of developmental and planning activities since 1863. DVC was formed in the year 1948 by the act of Parliament to carry out the responsibilities for monitoring and developing this large watershed in an integrated manner. It is well aware that all the projects, planned originally could not be implemented till date by the DVC and the participatory states. Again, silt depositions in the existing reservoirs and channels due to erosions at the upper valley have reduced their respective storage and flowing capacities remarkably. On the other hand, demand of water has been increased many folds within the valley due to growth of industries, population etc. With passing of time, socio- economic and political condition of the valley has also changed a lot. So, considering the different constraints, DVC is trying to manage all its statutory obligations with its limitations. Performances of the operations in the different fields of activities like flood moderation, irrigation, municipal and irrigation water supply, Hydropower etc. have been studied elaborately in this article. Lots of new commendable initiatives to restore the lost-capacities and to increase the storage facilities have also been discussed. A Master Plan of the ecofriendly sustainable developmental activities of the valley in the different projected scenarios has already been prepared by DVC which has also been described in brief. Some scopes have been identified to take up a few new small Hydro schemes at different locations in the upper valley. -
