Why do the rivers originating from the excess water. Had these channels not been Himalayas in the northern India and the Western there, large-scale flooding would have Ghat in the southern India flow towards the east occurred. Wherever channels are ill-defined or and discharge their waters in the Bay of Bengal? choked, flooding is a common phenomenon. The flow of water through well-defined channels is known as ‘drainage’ and the network of such channels is called a ‘drainage system’. The drainage pattern of an area is the outcome of the geological time period, nature and structure of rocks, topography, slope, amount of water flowing and the periodicity of the flow. Do you have a river near your village or city? Have you ever been there for boating or bathing? Figure 3.1 : A River in the Mountainous Region Is it perennial (always with water) or ephemeral (water during rainy season, and dry, otherwise)?

  • Map 6 Asia Orientalis Compiled by M.U
    Map 6 Asia Orientalis Compiled by M.U. Erdosy, 1997 Introduction Map 6 embraces four distinct regions: central Asia and the Indus valley, which had lengthy contacts with the Greeks and Romans; and Tibet and Chinese Turkestan, which had practically none. The first two entered Western consciousness through the eastward expansion of the Achaemenid empire, which brought them into the orbit of Greek geographical knowledge, and won them prominence as the theaters of Alexander the Great’s eastern campaigns. Although colonization in the wake of Macedonian conquests was short-lived, classical influence on the arts and crafts of the area, if not its religious and political institutions, remained prominent for centuries. Moreover, even though the Parthians and Sasanians effectively severed overland links between central Asia and the Mediterranean world, the Alexander legend helped preserve geographical information for posterity (albeit frequently in a distorted form), even if little in the way of fresh data was added until Late Roman times. By contrast, areas to the north and east of the Himalayas remained in effect terra incognita until the nineteenth century, when the heart of Asia first received serious exploration by westerners, mostly as a by-product of the “Great Game.” Despite the impressive lists of toponyms and ethnonyms found in Ptolemy’s Geography and Ammianus Marcellinus, few cities and tribes can be localized with any certitude, since ancient geographers not only lacked first-hand knowledge of the area, but were also hampered by a defective image of the world, which was sure to produce serious distortions in peripheral regions. As a result, the eastern half of Map 6 is largely devoid of identifiable sites (although it contributes extensively to the list of unlocated toponyms and ethnonyms), while the western half is densely populated.

INTRODUCTION Urban occupations generally generates higher income whether in factories or in the service sector or in small business. Higher incomes increase level of consumptions. The impact on this generation in the urban area, is a mixed effect of the proportionate increase in the urban population, improved levels of income and drastic changes in the pattern of the consumptions. 72% of Indian population lives in small-scale towns and villages.[Source: census 2011 ] Municipal solid waste (MSW) generation, in terms of kg/capita/day, is showing an increasing trend.

  • Ancient Sea Ports of India
    Ancient Sea Ports of India By Shamseer Mambra | In: Marine Ports | Last Updated on April 16, 2018 https://www.marineinsight.com/ports/7-oldest-sea-ports-of-india/ The history of India’s maritime trade goes back to centuries ago. India has been one of the most important points of sea trade in the entire South Asian region since the beginning of maritime trade. The maritime tradition of ancient India begins with the Indus Valley civilization which saw long- distance maritime voyages by 2900 BCE. Long before the development of the Silk Road, the ships belonged to Indian traders travelled thousands of miles crossing the Indian Ocean and the Arabian Sea to find their markets in the West Asia, East Asia, South East Asia and East Africa. Similarly, merchants from these regions, especially Arabians and Chinese frequently visited the Indian Subcontinent, trading silk, spices, porcelain, ivory and even slaves. As the ocean trade flourished in the region, more maritime trade links were built connecting the sub- continent with the Roman Empire in the earlier times and other regions of Europe in the following period, long before the Colonial period. As its peninsular location made it apt for trade though marine routes, it also led to the establishment of a number of ports across the region during very early times. With having a coastline covering thousands of kilometres, the continent, which is one of the biggest peninsulas in the world, featured busiest ports of that time. Here is a list of some of the oldest ports in India that helped it to earn a respectable position in the global maritime industry even before the colonial rule.

  • Hydrology and Water Assessment
    Chapter – 5 Hydrology and Water Assessment 5.0 General The Par-Tapi-Narmada Link Project involves Par, Auranga, Ambica and Purna river basins of South Gujarat and neighboring Maharashtra State. The Hydrological studies of this project comprising Par, Auranga, Ambica and Purna river basins with Jheri, Paikhed, Chasmandva, Chikkar, Dabdar and Kelwan dam sites were carried out by Hydrological Studies Organization, Central Water Commission, New Delhi. The hydrological studies of the Par-Tapi-Narmada link had been compiled in three volumes by Central Water Commission; Volume– I: Water availability studies; Volume– II: Design flood and diversion flood (in two parts); Volume– III: Sedimentation studies and were appended in “Volume– IV: of DPR i.e Appendices – Hydrology and Water Assessment” of the DPR of the link project prepared by NWDA in August, 2015. Brief details of the studies werealso furnished in “Volume-I: Main Report”of the DPR (August-2015) under Chapter-5 - Hydrology and Water Assessment. Since the link canal demands and diversion of surplus yields available for diversion at the above proposed reservoirs are unchanged, no separate Hydrological and Water Assessment studies have been carried out. Brief details of the studies are furnished below. 5.1 General Climate and Hydrology The climate of the Par-Tapi-Narmada link project area is moderate except during the months of April and May. Summer is hot and winter is generally cold. The year may be divided into four seasons, the cold season from Dec to Feb followed by the hot season from March to May and the south-west monsoon season from June to Sept followed by the post- monsoon season from Oct to Nov.
