    Major WETLANDS Of Himachal Pradesh Himachal Pradesh State Wetland Authority WETLANDS Wetlands are important features in the landscape that provide numerous benecial services for people, wildlife and aquatic species. Some of these services, or functions, include protecting and improving water quality, providing sh and wildlife habitats, storing oodwaters and maintaining surface water ow during dry periods. These valuable functions are the result of the unique natural characteristics of wetlands. Wetlands are among the most productive ecosystems in the world, comparable to rain forests and coral reefs. An immense variety of WETLANDS species of microbes, plants, insects, amphibians, Conservation Programme with the active reptiles, birds, sh and mammals can be part of a participation of all the stakeholders, keeping in view wetland ecosystem.

According to them salvation is possible only if you accept the Guru Padmasambhava and his five main Consorts authority of their prophet and holy book. Conversely, Hinduism does not have a prophet or a holy book and does not claim that one can achieve self-realisation through only the Hindu way. Open-mindedness and simultaneous existence of various schools Heena Thakur*, Dr. Konchok Tashi** have been the hall mark of Indian thought. -------------Hindi----cultural ties with these countries. We are so influenced by western thought that we created religions where none existed. Today Abstract Hinduism, Buddhism and Jaininism are treated as Separate religions when they are actually different ways to achieve self-realisation. We need to disengage ourselves with the western world. We shall not let our culture to This work is based on the selected biographies of Guru Padmasambhava, a well known Indian Tantric stand like an accused in an alien court to be tried under alien law.

The goal of this project was to develop a list of best practices and recommendations for sustainable tourism and ecotourism that are specific to Himachal Pradesh, India. To develop our understanding of the tourism and ecotourism sector in the region, we spoke with government officials, business owners, and tourists. Additionally, we analyzed tourist locations for their capacity to sustain ecotourism. Finally, we combined the academic best practices and our analysis to create a set of recommendations for sustainable development at potential ecotourism sites in Himachal Pradesh. I Executive Summary The term ecotourism emerged to succinctly describe sustainable, nature-based tourism.

  • Water Quality and Phytoplankton Diversity of High Altitude Wetland, Dodi Tal of Garhwal Himalaya, India
    Biodiversity International Journal Research Article Open Access Water quality and phytoplankton diversity of high altitude wetland, Dodi Tal of Garhwal Himalaya, India Abstract Volume 2 Issue 6 - 2018 Water quality and phytoplankton diversity of high altitude (3,075 above m.a.s.l.) wetland Ramesh C Sharma, Sushma Singh Dodi Tal were monitored for a period of November 2015 to October 2016. A total of 47 species Department of Environmental Sciences, Hemvati Nandan belonging to 43 genera of four families (Bacillariophyceae; Chlorophyceae; Cyanophyceae; Bahughuna Garhwal University, India Dinophyceae) of phytoplankton were encounted during the study. Bacillariophyceae was the dominant family representing 20 genera followed by Chlorophyceae (16 genera), Correspondence: Sushma Singh, Department of Cyanophyceae (4 genera) and Dinophyceae (3 genera). A highly significant (F=14.59; Environmental Sciences, Hemvati Nandan Bahughuna Garhwal p=1.43E-08) seasonal variation in the abundance of phytoplankton community of Dodi University, (A Central University) Srinagar, Garhwal, 246174, Tal was recorded. Maximum abundance of phytoplankton (1,270±315.00ind.l-1) was Uttarakhand, India, Email [email protected] found in autumn season and minimum (433.00±75.00ind.l-1) in monsoon season. Multiple regression analysis made between density of phytoplankton and environmental variables Received: July 31, 2018 | Published: November 05, 2018 revealed that the abundance of phytoplankton has a negative correlation with TDS, alkalinity, dissolved oxygen, pH and Chlorides. However, it has a positive correlation with water temperature phosphates and nitrates. Shannon Wiener diversity index was recorded maximum (4.09) in autumn season and minimum (3.59) in monsoon season. Canonical Correspondence Analysis (CCA) was also calculated between physico-chemical variables and phytoplankton diversity for assessing the effect of physico- chemical variables on various taxa of phytoplankton.

  • Purpose of Hydroelectric Generation.Only 13 Dams Are Used for Flood Control in the Basin and 19 Dams Are Used for Irrigation Along with Other Usage
    Indus (Up to border) Basin Version 2.0 www.india-wris.nrsc.gov.in 1 Indus (Up to border) Basin Preface Optimal management of water resources is the necessity of time in the wake of development and growing need of population of India. The National Water Policy of India (2002) recognizes that development and management of water resources need to be governed by national perspectives in order to develop and conserve the scarce water resources in an integrated and environmentally sound basis. The policy emphasizes the need for effective management of water resources by intensifying research efforts in use of remote sensing technology and developing an information system. In this reference a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed on December 3, 2008 between the Central Water Commission (CWC) and National Remote Sensing Centre (NRSC), Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) to execute the project “Generation of Database and Implementation of Web enabled Water resources Information System in the Country” short named as India-WRIS WebGIS. India-WRIS WebGIS has been developed and is in public domain since December 2010 (www.india- wris.nrsc.gov.in). It provides a ‘Single Window solution’ for all water resources data and information in a standardized national GIS framework and allow users to search, access, visualize, understand and analyze comprehensive and contextual water resources data and information for planning, development and Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM). Basin is recognized as the ideal and practical unit of water resources management because it allows the holistic understanding of upstream-downstream hydrological interactions and solutions for management for all competing sectors of water demand.
