The Conservation Action Plan the Ganges River Dolphin
THE CONSERVATION ACTION PLAN FOR THE GANGES RIVER DOLPHIN 2010-2020 National Ganga River Basin Authority Ministry of Environment & Forests Government of India Prepared by R. K. Sinha, S. Behera and B. C. Choudhary 2 MINISTER’S FOREWORD I am pleased to introduce the Conservation Action Plan for the Ganges river dolphin (Platanista gangetica gangetica) in the Ganga river basin. The Gangetic Dolphin is one of the last three surviving river dolphin species and we have declared it India's National Aquatic Animal. Its conservation is crucial to the welfare of the Ganga river ecosystem. Just as the Tiger represents the health of the forest and the Snow Leopard represents the health of the mountainous regions, the presence of the Dolphin in a river system signals its good health and biodiversity. This Plan has several important features that will ensure the existence of healthy populations of the Gangetic dolphin in the Ganga river system. First, this action plan proposes a set of detailed surveys to assess the population of the dolphin and the threats it faces. Second, immediate actions for dolphin conservation, such as the creation of protected areas and the restoration of degraded ecosystems, are detailed. Third, community involvement and the mitigation of human-dolphin conflict are proposed as methods that will ensure the long-term survival of the dolphin in the rivers of India. This Action Plan will aid in their conservation and reduce the threats that the Ganges river dolphin faces today. Finally, I would like to thank Dr. R. K. Sinha , Dr. S. K. Behera and Dr. -

Identifying Safe Drinking Water Source for Establishing Sustainable Urban Water Supply Scheme in Rangunia Municipality, Bangladesh
20th International Congress on Modelling and Simulation, Adelaide, Australia, 1–6 December 2013 www.mssanz.org.au/modsim2013 Identifying safe drinking water source for establishing sustainable urban water supply scheme in Rangunia municipality, Bangladesh S.K. Adhikary a, S.K. Das a, T. Chaki b and M. Rahman b a College of Engineering and Science, Victoria University, Melbourne 14428, Victoria 8001, Australia b Water Resources Planning Division, Institute of Water Modelling (IWM), Dhaka 1206, Bangladesh Email: [email protected] Abstract: Safe drinking water source identification is one of the vital components for designing and establishing an urban water supply system. Nowadays, water consumption in a country is one of the determining factors related to its development activities. Rapid growth of population and increased urbanization activities particularly in developing countries offer great challenges to the water utility managers and service providers. In this context, a major challenge is to ensure adequate supply of water with acceptable quality to every city dwellers with minimum cost. However, it is quite difficult to achieve this target, if there is a shortage in water availability from the existing sources imposed by water quantity and quality issues. Therefore, a comprehensive assessment task should be undertaken prior to designing and establishing a long-term water supply options in an urban area of a developing country like Bangladesh. In Bangladesh, municipal water supply scheme mainly depends on the conventional water sources such as surface water from the rivers and groundwater from the underlying aquifer. Although the groundwater quality is satisfactory for drinking purpose and available abundantly in the shallow aquifer, quality limitations of surface water impose economic constraints with additional treatment cost for system operation. -

The different grasslands were surveyed and from 26 different grassland sites 36 floricans were recorded. Males were most of the time in display and females were recorded from four different grasslands walking in Saccharum narenga and Sachharum sponteneum grass patches. The present study also recorded 36 different individuals thus a population of 72 floricans in the Dudwa Tiger Reserve The grasslands in Dudhwa after burning practices provides a good display ground for the floricans and a mosaic of upland grasslands Impreta cylindrica – Sacchrum spontaneum and low land Sacchrum narenga – Themeda arundancea provides ideal habitat for floricans in the Dudhwa NP and Kishanpur WLS. INTRODUCTION The Bengal Florican, Houbaropsis bengalensis (Gmelin 1789) is identified as critically endangered among the bustards by IUCN and global population is estimated at fewer than 400 individuals in the Indian subcontinent (Anon 2011). The Bengal Florican is listed in the Schedule I of the Indian Wildlife Protection Act. Distributed in the subcontinent in Assam, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Nepal, West Bengal and the terai of Bihar and Uttar Pradesh (Ali and Ripley 1987), it is now considered one of the most endangered bustards of the world. -
Rivers of Peace: Restructuring India Bangladesh Relations

No part of this book may be reproduced or utilised in any form or by any means, electronic or mechanical, without prior permission from the publisher. Copyright © Strategic Foresight Group 2013 ISBN 978-81-88262-19-9 Design and production by MadderRed Printed at Mail Order Solutions India Pvt. Ltd., Mumbai, India PREFACE At the superficial level, relations between India and Bangladesh seem to be sailing through troubled waters. The failure to sign the Teesta River Agreement is apparently the most visible example of the failure of reason in the relations between the two countries. What is apparent is often not real. Behind the cacophony of critics, the Governments of the two countries have been working diligently to establish sound foundation for constructive relationship between the two countries. There is a positive momentum. There are also difficulties, but they are surmountable. The reason why the Teesta River Agreement has not been signed is that seasonal variations reduce the flow of the river to less than 1 BCM per month during the lean season. This creates difficulties for the mainly agrarian and poor population of the northern districts of West Bengal province in India and the north-western districts of Bangladesh. There is temptation to argue for maximum allocation of the water flow to secure access to water in the lean season. -
