  • Master Plan for Ganderbal
    Draft MASTER PLAN FOR GANDERBAL -2032 Master Plan January 2013 FEEDBACK INFRA PRIVATE LIMITED & B E CONSULTANT TOWN PLANNING ORGANISATION, KASHMIR Government of Jammu and Kashmir Ganderbal Master Plan - 2032 Preface Cities have become concentrates of intelligence and demand large investments for their development. Large resources are spent on the development of various urban settlements but the condition of these towns continues to deteriorate because of piecemeal nature of expenditure and lack of definitive development schemes. Adhoc efforts neither result in better environment nor strengthen the economic base. In view of this, Town Planning Organisation, Kashmir has undertaken the preparation of the Master Plans for various towns, which envisages all encompassing development of these towns. Master Plans are expected to give impetus to the development and economic potential of the towns. In the first phase, the Master Plans of district headquarters have been taken up which will be followed up by Master Plans of other small and medium towns. The Government has also decided to outsource few Master Plans; however, the Master Plan for Ganderbal, which is on the threshold of becoming Class I town, has been outsourced to M/S Feedback Infra Private Limited, Gurgaon. The Master Plan-Ganderbal (2012-32) is the first planning effort in Kashmir region that has been outsourced to any private consultant by Town Planning Organisation, Kashmir. The studies involved in the preparation of Master Plan for Ganderbal (2012-32) concerns with the areas crucial to planning and development of the region. It has been a great privilege for M/S Feedback Infra Private Limited, Gurgaon to undertake the assignment of formulating the Master Plan of Ganderbal (2012-32).

Acknowledgement Lakes and Water bodies are one of the most important natural resources of our State. Apart from being most valuable natural habitat for number of flora and fauna, these lakes and Water bodies are the life line for number of communities of our state. No systematic scientific study for monitoring and planning of these lakes and water bodies was carried out and more than 90%of our lakes and water bodies are till date neglected altogether. The department realized the need of creating the first hand information long back in 1998 and prepared the Directory of lakes and water bodies using Survey of India Topographical Maps on 1:50,000.With the advent of satellite technology the study of these lakes and water bodies has become easier and the task of creating of information pertaining to these lakes and water bodies using latest high resolution data along with Survey of India Topographical Maps and other secondary information available with limited field checks/ground truthing has been carried out to provide latest information regarding the status of these lakes and water bodies.

This renewable resource is being indiscriminately exploited by several users. On the other hand, rapid urbanization and land use changes has resulted in reduced natural infiltration /recharge of aquifers. This has lead to various problems related to quantity and quality and issues like the decline in water levels, depletion of groundwater resource and quality deterioration. There is thus an imperative need for augmenting the valuable ground water resource.

  • Geographical Personality of Kashmir Valley
    CHAPTER I GEOGRAPHICAL PERSONALITY OF KASHMIR VALLEY “Agar Firdoos Barooy-e-Zameen ast, Hamin astoo Hamin astoo Hamin ast” (If there is paradise on Earth, It is here, It is here, It is here) (Mughal Emperor, Jahangir) 1.1 Introduction Kashmir Valley has rightly been called as the “Paradise on Earth” and “Switzerland of Asia”. Bernier, the first European traveler to enter Kashmir, wrote in 1665 that “In truth, the kingdom surpasses in beauty all that my warmest imagination had anticipated” (Young-husband, 1911)1. Geographically and climatically, Kashmir is the core of mighty Himalayas receiving in abundance its grace in the form of captivating scenic beauty, lush green pastures and lofty glistening snow covered mountain peaks which capture the changing hues of the brilliant sun, in many ways, the enchanting rivers and rivulets and the great lakes of mythological fame. In her valleys grow the rarest of trees and herbs, including the most precious of all flowers - the Zaafran (Saffron). In her forest are found the best pines and deodars. From her orchards come apples, apricots, pears, walnuts and cherries of different kinds. On her green meadows graze the lambs bearing the most exquisite wool. Her Dal lake and her house boats, Gulmarg and her glaciers have made her an international tourist spot. What to talk of her temples, the dream of every devout Hindu - the Holy Amarnath where lakhs of pilgrims trek every year, regardless of inclement weather and a host of other dangers; the Shiva temple, the Khir Bhawani, all with their lofty associations with great masterminds and the impeccable Shaivite philosophy (Sadhu,1984)2.

  • Nmental Hazards Due to Rate of Siltation in Lake (Jammu and Kashmir)
    Research Article Environmental hazards due to rate of siltation in the Wular Lake (Jammu and Kashmir), India Kulkarni U.D. 1*, Khan Asiya 2 1Department of Chemistry, Nowrosjee Wadia College, Pune 411 001, Maharashtra, INDIA. 2Department of Environmental Sciences, University of Pune, Pune 411 007, Maharashtra, INDIA. Email: [email protected] Abstract The siltation rate in the Wular Lake shows abnormality in space and time, as evidenced from preliminary geological survey of its catchment. The Panjal traps, limestones (with scanty intercalations of black shales) and Karewas form the major provenance for the silt which drains into the lake. The li neament fabric suggests a strong structural control over the formation of the lake. The Tertiary uplift, as well as, the pulses of seismicity have been instrumental in modifying regional geomorphological relief and the resultant changes in the rate of silt ation. The climatic changes have also influenced the varied rate of erosion and subsequent siltation. The topographic relief appears to have fluctuated in the recent geological past, as is evidenced from the silt deposits in and around the lake. The enviro nmental significance lies in the fact that such a rate of siltation would result in shallowing of the lake floor and may prove disastrous during higher degrees of runoff (either due to excess precipitation or melting of ice). The present state of human int erference, in the form of settlements around the lake and farming practices on the reclaimed and / or acquired land of the lake, are beyond permissible limits of the environmentally safety zones. *Address for Correspondence: Dr .

  • An Over Look on Watershed Management with a Case Study of Ganderbal Watershed, Kashmir, India
    An Over look on Watershed Management with a case study of Ganderbal Watershed, Kashmir, India Ruhhee Tabbussum1, A.Q.Dar2 1.National Institute of Technology, Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir, India 2.National Institute of Technology, Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir, India ABSTRACT Land and water management is increasingly being based on watersheds, and the watershed, or integrated catchment, approach has received wide acceptance for implementing projects for the improvement of water quality. The watershed approach is being promoted as a means of bringing about environmental improvements, particularly at scales that require changes by multiple landholders. This paper provides an outline of the implementation of watershed programs in the Jammu and Kashmir, with particular reference to examples in Ganderbal District. Watershed implementation projects have in-built evaluation activities to monitor progress in terms of farmer participation and effectiveness of their participation. Outcome evaluations in terms of impacts on water quality are much more difficult, generally long term, and expensive.Conflicts are increasing over shared water resources between agriculture, industry, and urban domestic use as well as between State governments. Sustainable water management is thus crucial for economic development and livelihood of the people. Watershed management is necessary for the sustainable protection of natural resources and environmental health. Watershed management, which recognizes the hydrologic (water) cycle as the pathway that integrates physical, chemical and biological processes, is an important approach to achieving the goal of a sustainable environment. Watershed management projects are usually initiated in response to issues and concerns around existing environmental health, proposed land use practices, land use management or restoration demands.

  • Use of High Resolution Remote Sensing for Improving
    J. Himalayan Ecol. Sustain. Dev. Vol 14 (2019) ISSN 0973-7502 Use of High Resolution Remote Sensing for Improving Environmental Friendly Tourism Master Planning in the Alpine Himalaya: A Case Study of Sonamarg Tourist Resort, Kashmir Shakil Ahmad Romshoo* and Midhat Fayaz1 1Geoinformatics Program, University of Kashmir, Srinagar *Corresponding authors E-mail:[email protected] ABSTRACT The tourist influx to the world famous tourist resort of Sonamarg has increased over the years reaching 7,26,092 person in 2015 resulting in the increased demand for tourist infrastructure. However, the area is ecologically fragile and deserves high degree of caution before any developmental intervention is implemented at the resort. The paper provides a comprehensive and critical evaluation of the inadequacies and constraints of the Sonamarg Master Plan (SMP) prescriptions for the siting, need and suitability of the tourist infrastructure development as provided in the Plan. The study provides insights into use of high resolution remotely sensed data for evaluating the feasibility of the planned development in SMP. From the high resolution satellite data, it is evident that in 2015 itself Sonamarg has already crossed the level of the projected developmental activities set out under the Master Plan for 2025. Against the proposed built-up of ~60 ha for the infrastructure development by 2025, the area has witnessed the built-up infrastructure spread over ~58 ha area in the Sonamarg bowl in 2015. The analyses revealed that the proposed SMP needs
