INTRODUCTION Page 1 of 26 Action Plan for Rejuvenation of River Suswa (Mothrawala to Raiwala), Dehradun The Suswa River originates in the midst of the clayey depression near the source of the Asan, towards the East of the Asarori - Dehradun Road. Flowing in the South-east direction the Suswa river drains the Eastern part of Dehradun city. It also receives the minor streams rising in the North and the South. It further merges into the Bindal and the Rispana rivers and then receiving waters of the Song river at South-East of Doiwala town. After mixing with Song river it is known as River Song which merges into the River Ganga at upstream of Raiwala. Rispana and Bindal rivers are two major drainage which receive urban drainage of eastern part of Dehradun city and finally joins river Suswa at Mothrawala.

Family Libellulidae is found to be the richest, having 43.40 % of species and its genus Orthetrum is most diverse, comprising 34.78% species. As regards conservation status, all the species (except Ophiogomphus cerastis which fall under ‘Data Deficient’ category) fall under ‘Least Concern’ Category of International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red list, which is good indication for their survival, provided the habitats are saved and secured.

Ecological Rehabilitation of the River System of Dehradun City: a Multidimensional Approach
International Journal of Advanced Science and Technology Vol. 29, No. 03, (2020), pp. 11981 - 11989 Ecological rehabilitation of the River System of Dehradun City: A Multidimensional Approach Prateek Dhasmana1, Parminder Kaur 2, Kritika3 Chitkara School of Planning and Architecture, Chitkara University, Punjab, India 1 2 3 [email protected] , [email protected] , [email protected] ABSTRACT The rivers of Dehradun city are facing massive pressure due to anthropogenic activities. Dehradun city is growing in a uni direction since 1988 and due to extensive urbanization there is a lot of pressure on the hydrological system of the city. Water bodies are facing issues like encroachments, illegal mining, pollution and channelizing which had ecologically degraded these water bodies. River front development projects were introduced that are not problem solving as they in turn are channelizing the rivers thus depleting its natural ecology and biodiversity. The presence of invasive species found in the rivers are a proof of increasing anthropogenic activities. These water bodies are slowly loosing their biodiversity and majorly in the urbanized areas. This study worked on more of an ecological approach where the ecology of these water bodies is given top priority. Taken different models used around the globe, only those examples were considered which were more into deep ecology rather than anthropogenic in nature. With the help of research couple of river system models were developed which promotes ecological well being of these water bodies. The study gives an ecological path for the effective revival of the water bodies of Dehradun city. Keywords:Ecology, Hydrological System, Rivers, Urbanization, Pollution etc. -
Rispana Valley Historical Area by William Stichter*
Rispana Valley Historical Area By William Stichter* Through the centuries, the Doon Valley has collected a variety of structures, including temples, traditional water harvesting structures and grain mills, scattered among its gentle hills and picturesque streams. Along the eastern edge of Rajpur village, the land drops into a ravine through which the Rispana River flows. Fed by hill springs and seasonal torrents, the river flows alongside Rajpur Road and through Dehradun to the south, eventually meeting the Suswa, the Song, and then the Ganga between Rishikesh and Haridwar. The Rajpur Canal, built more than 300 years ago for irrigation and drinking water, begins in this area and, though mostly covered now, ends in the heart of Dehradun at the temple tanks of Guru Ram Rai. They hint at the area’s history. Along with Rajpur village above, the Rispana valley was a node in the stream of traffic which travelled up the river from Dehradun, restocked and rested here before ascending the cart road to Mussoorie and the mountains beyond. Preserving these structures and this type of everyday history would provide a valuable link to the past and a pleasant recreation area for tourists and locals alike. The Rispana Valley and some of its structures, with Rajpur above, looking northwest. * U.S.‐based architect volunteering with People’s Science Institute, Dehradun. 1 Structures and their Histories Flour Mill Site (1)†: At the northern end of the Rispana Valley, just southeast of the beginning of the old cart road to Mussoorie, two torrents join and turn south. Here, on the west bank of the Rispana, lies an old grain mill and some associated structures.
