Forests Department J&K Government Jammu / Srinagar It gives me immense pleasure to know that all the major rivers, lakes, ponds and dams of Jammu and Kashmir are being monitored by Jammu & Kashmir State Pollution Control Board through its Regional laboratories to have a strict vigil on the quality of water and provide information to concerned department for remedial measures. Water is elixir of life and all the drinking water sources have to maintain in such a manner that its contamination due to sewage or industrial pollution does not effect the health of living beings. This report on the monitoring of water quality of Tawi river is an attempt by the State Pollution Control Board to regularly test the quality of water so that drinking water supplied to city of Jammu is safe. I am sure that it will contribute to a greater extent in widening the horizons of knowledge made to improve the water quality of this river. I congratulate the State Pollution Control Board for undertaking this work through its Jammu laboratory and hope that its findings will guide local authorities in addressing the serious issue of pollution of River Tawi.

  • 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.

  • Working Plan for Jammu Forest Division (2013-14 to 2023-24)
    WORKING PLAN FOR JAMMU FOREST DIVISION (2013-14 TO 2023-24) Submitted by: Ashok Kumar Kalsi (Divisional Forest Officer Resource Survey Division) Working Plan Officer Jammu Forest Division INTRODUCTION Jammu Forest Division derives its name from its headquarters situated at Jammu city. Earlier it was known as Soil Conservation Division, Jammu , which came into existence in 1947 A.D by splitting up the then Jammu Range of Udhampur Forest Division into Jammu and Bahu ranges and by transferring some area of Reasi Division and renaming it as Kalidhar range. the fourth Range namely Jindrah was added to this Division by transferring forest areas of Jammu side of Karaidhar from Udhampur and a part of erstwhile Jammu range lying on the northern aspect of Nandini and Mansar-Surinsar ridges. The first working plan of the then Soil Conservation Division, J3ammu was prepared by Sh.M.S. Jamwal,IFS for the period 1971-72 to 1981-82. This plan was revised by S.J.B Singh after the reorganisation of the department had taken place in 1981 in which certain parts of erstwhile Division were changed to Forest Division Jammu. This working plan is a revision of Sh. Manoj Pant’s plan for the period 1998-99 to 2007-08. It covers the Jammu Forest Division as it exists now with some changes in area. Some minor changes that were found necessary in the method of treatment have been brought in. These changes have been made keeping in view the State Forest Policy-2011 and latest development in the field of forestry.
