The project is in continuation ofa similar 'Occasional'Paper' published during the 1981 Census. In this study, regions are delineated at macro, messo, micro and sub-micro level in e~h state/.union terril:ory. While delineating such regions, the physio-geographic factors are taken into accclunt. These physio-geographic factors consist of (i) Physiography; (ii) Geological strui;ture; (iii) Forest coverage; (iv) Climatic conditions and (v) Soils. The sub"micro regions Yare delineated within the district keeping in view the above physio-geographic factors. The regi.onal boundaries delineated earlier at different levels are retained as such. However, the jurisdictional changes at the district level during 1981-91 were added in the respective regions.

    R~c. lool. Surv. India: 99 (Part 1-4) : 135-156, 2001 WETLAND FAUNAL RESOURCES OF WEST BENGAL·3. BIRBHUM DISTRICT N. C. NANDI, K. VENKATARAMAN*, S. R. DAS, S. BHUINYA AND S. K. DAS Zoological Survey of India, M-Block, New Alipore, Kolkata-700 053 INTRODUCTION The present study on wetland faunal resources of Birbhum district is the third instalment of the series from West Bengal. The earlier two papers deal with faunal diversity of 'some wetlands in North and South 24-Parganas districts (N'andi et al., 1993) and Haora and HugH districts (Nandi et al., 1999). This district has a wide assemblage of aquatic or semi-terrestrial wetland habitats which are usually covered by shallow water. It includes freshwater ponds, beels, barrage, dighies, foodplains, etc. In all, 10 such wetland habitats, both permanent and temporary, have been surveyed during the years 1993 and 1994. Faunal inventories indicating occurrence of the species in the wetlands surveyed are communicated. A review of literature (Nandi et al., 1993, 1999) shows that there is no specific publication on wetland fauna of Birbhum district. However, Bhattacharya et ale (1979), Bhattacharya and Chattopadhyay (1984), Chattopadhyay and Bhattacharya (1986), Saha et ale (1992) have made some interesting contributions on Indian Blackback, Spotted Deer and other wildlife of Ballavpur Wildlife Sanctuary for which Ballavpur freshwater wetland within the sanctuary is famous in West Bengal. LOCATION AND PHYSIOGRAPHY Location Birbhum district which lies between 23°33' and 24°35' North latitude and 87°10' and 88°2' East longitude, is located in the western part of West Bengal.

The existing terrain is characterized by mainly climatogenetic processes. Though the impact of climate change is vital in the shaping of the lesser topographies in the study-area. The study-area is characterized by micro landforms e. g. rills, gullies, water falls, terraces, gorges type features and limestone topographic type features. The denudational processes are very significant in the area in general but the differential erosion is evident in particular. It resembles the topographies with the African and the Brazillian Highlands. This paper interprets the rill and gully erosion risk in the lateritic terrain and their consequences in regional sustainable development and environmental management Keywords: Rill Erosion. Gully Erosion. Erosion Risk. Lateritic Terrain. Remote Sensing and Action Plan. RESUMO: É fato conhecido que nenhuma parte da superfície da Terra é livre de problemas.

    11. lntaobtictfon CHAPTER I Birbhum, the northern-most district of the West Bengal, is located between 23°32'30• and 24°35 1 00" north latitude and 88°01'4o• and 87°05'25" east longitude (Fig. 5). It forms a part of rarh region situated between the hilly tracts of Chotanagpur of Bihar in the west and the Gange~ tic delta in the east. The district is bouRded by Dumka (San­ tal Pargana) district of Bihar in the west andnorth; Murshi- dabad and Bardhaman districts in the east and the river Ajoy makes its southern boundary between Bardhaman and Bihar (J=.·g;:J..Q.-). Physiography The .western part comprising the police sta- tions of Khoyrasole, Rajnagar, Dubrajpur, Suri, Md.Bazar and Rampurhat is a continuation of the heavily dissected plateau of Chotanagpur. The entire area is broken up by a succession of undulations. In · the western part, the land is comparative- I ly higher than 50 meters. The height gradually decreases and a number of spurs running eastward and south-eastward are se- perated by fairly deep valleys. The more important rivers flowi•g from the north are Mayurakshi or Mor and the Ajoy. The spurs, in most cases, are redissected by a number of tri- butaries running in this section ~ore or less parallel to the 8 E 8 30 88 BIRBHUM DISTRICT STUDY AREA ~· · eo• E f.,_ ,, r"' . ~ .? ·v-;; 24 1-t------+-ij>: 30 s \~ ~ ~ I N D I A ...... 4 00 0 2 4 r; ..,r./" c;- \ ~r--------·. ., _r--... ~·· ?.
