PAKISTAN: LAI NULLAH BASIN FLOOD PROBLEM ISLAMABAD – RAWALPINDI CITIES1 Ahmed Kamal 2
WMO/GWP Associated Programme on Flood Management PAKISTAN: LAI NULLAH BASIN FLOOD PROBLEM ISLAMABAD – RAWALPINDI CITIES1 Ahmed Kamal 2 Abstract. Information is provided about the general approach and experience regarding flood management and mitigation in Pakistan, and in the Lai Nullah Basin in particular. An extraordinary flood event in the year 2001 marked the start of a shift towards the concept of integrated flood management with a view to effectively manage and mitigate flood and related problems, both on a national basis and on a river basin level. The paper discusses the countrywide approach, the various structural and non-structural measures in place and also those in the case study area. The relative importance and applicability of these measures are outlined and, for the case study area, an analysis of those being adopted or proposed for the future is made. Legal aspects of flood management regarding land use, flood warning, preparedness and response are briefly described. Mention is also made of emerging concepts of stakeholder participation. The study concludes with a detailed listing of “lessons learnt”, which could be used for possible application in countries that intend to adopt an IFM approach 1. Location The Lai Nullah Basin is located in the northern part of Pakistan, with a catchment area of 239.8 Km². It has a length of about 30 Km, stretching from the upper reaches which comprise the Federal Capital City Islamabad, at its north-western edge, to the lower reaches which hold the Rawalpindi District, Punjab Province, in its south-eastern edge. The Nai Nullah river has six mayor tributaries, three originating in the foothills of Islamabad in the higher plain area; it then flows down through the lower lying city of Rawalpindi, where another three tributaries join the river. -

TCP Core Plan of Melghat Tiger Resurve
PREFACE Melghat Tiger Reserve (MTR), the part of Satpuda Maikal ranges falls in Amarvati, Akola and Buldhana districts of Vidharbha in Maharashtra. It is one of the 9 Project Tiger declared initially in 1973 by Government of India and came into existence on 22nd Feb, 1974 as the first tiger reserve of Maharashtra. MTR is the store house of biodiversity and tribal culture. MTR is a typical representative of Central Indian Highland forming a part of the Bio- geographic zone ‘6 E-Deccan Peninsula’– Central Highlands. The reserve forms an important corridor between protected and forests areas of Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra ensuring contiguity of forests in Satpuras. Melghat Tiger Reserve is predominately inhabited by Korku tribes. The Korkus, Nihals and Gaolis have their own tradition of indigenous ethno botanical knowledge. The gotras of Korkus are seen to have been named after trees e.g. Jamunkar, Semalkar etc. which goes to prove the integration of their culture with nature. The reserve forms a very important catchment to Tapi and Purna river systems with important tributaries like Dolar, Khandu, Sipna, Gadga, Khapra and Wan river. The river Chandrabhaga which originates from Chikhaldara has its watershed in the reserve. The Gavilgarh fort and Vairat points in the Vicinity of Chikhaldara hill station have important historical significance. Crevices in valleys and forts offer good hiding spaces for wildlife. It harbours a viable population of Tiger (Panthera tigris) and of the endangered Gaur (Bos gaurus). All India Tiger Census, 2010 estimated the presence of about 32-35 tigers in the reserve and it has the potential of supporting 50 tigers based on today’s prey base available as estimated by the method of Hayward et.al. -
Storm Water Flood Modeling in the Sub- Basin of Chennai Corporation, Chennai, Tamilnadu, India
Storm Water Flood Modeling in the Sub- basin of Chennai Corporation, Chennai, Tamilnadu, India Dr. Y. R. Satyaji Rao Scientist F and Head Deltaic Regional Centre National Institute of Hydrology Kakinada 533003, Andhra Pradesh, India Website: www.nih.ernet.in Types of Flooding (Geographically): Riverine flooding It happens when extreme rainfall attacks in a river basin (Mississippi, 1993; Miller, 1997; Changman, 1998; Li and Guo et al., 1999; NVE, 2000; Meade, 2002). Urban flooding It is triggered when surface runoff exceeds the capacity of drainage systems, which happens when heavy rainfall pours on sewers with the limited capacity, or even medium rainfall falls on poorly planned or operated drainage systems (Kamal and Rabbi, 1998; Arambepola, 2002). Coastal flooding It takes place when heavy rainfall on inland encounters storm surges from the sea (Miller, 1997; Barry, 1997; Smith and Ward, 1998; Parker1, 2000; Pilarczyk and Nuoi, 2002). Definition of Urban Drainage Systems Urban drainage systems are defined as physical facilities that collect, store, convey, and treat runoff in urban areas. These facilities normally include detention and retention facilities, streets, storm sewers, inlets, open channels, and special structures such as inlets, manholes, and energy dissipaters” (ASCE and WEF, 1992). Why Urban Floods are increasing ? Increase in Flood peak and storm water network designs are old (Design limitations) Improper maintenance of storm water network (Carrying capacity) Impact of Boundary Conditions (Confluence points/backwater/tides) -
Case Study: Heavy Rainfall Event Over Lai Nullah Catchment Area
Pakistan Journal of Meteorology Vol. 6, Issue 12 Case Study: Heavy Rainfall Event over Lai Nullah Catchment Area Muhammad Afzal1, Qamar-ul-Zaman1 Abstract This research is an effort to understand the heavy rainfall phenomenon which gripped the upper area of Pakistan from 4–9 July 2008. This week lasting event created close to flood situation in Lai Nullah basin of Islamabad. The focus is mainly kept at flooding occurred in the Nullah on 5th July. This study was also an effort to effectively forecast the amount of precipitation expected as a result of such event so that flood like situation can be timely forecasted. The NCEP reanalysis (2.5° × 2.5°) data sets were utilized for this purpose. Different meteorological fields were used to get a picture of atmosphere. It also helped in comparison of both the observed and reanalysis data sets for one particular event. NCEP reanalysis data set though of coarse resolution presented good picture of event in terms of interaction between two main weather systems. The analysis revealed that the south-easterly incursion from the Arabian Sea was activated due to the westerly trough approaching the HKH mountain ranges. The results showed that Vertical wind Velocity (omega) and constant pressure surfaces are good predictors for this particular study. Keywords: Lai Nullah, NCEP reanalysis, Arabian Sea, South-easterly. Introduction Pakistan being situated between 23° 35' – 37° 05' North latitude and 60° 50' -77° 50’ East longitude falls in the Extratropics. It defines the western limits of Easterlies in South Asia. Precipitation is received in both summer and winter seasons. -

UNESCO World Heritage Sites
UNESCO World heritage sites May 21, 2021 In news- Six Indian sites have been added to the tentative list of UNESCO’s world heritage sites. About the sites- The submissions were made by Archaeological Survey of India, which is responsible for the conservation and preservation of Indian monuments. The six sites areSatpura Tiger Reserve, Iconic riverfront of city of Varanasi, Megalithic site of Hire Benkal, Maratha Military Architecture in Maharashtra, Bhedaghat-Lameta Ghat in Narmada Valley- Jabalpur, and temples of Kanchipuram. With the addition of these six sites, UNESCO has 48 proposals in the tentative list of India. Satpura Tiger Reserve- Located in Madhya Pradesh, the Satpura National Park is home to 26 species of the Himalayan region including reptiles, and 42 species of Nilgiri areas. It is the largest tiger-occupied forest and also has the largest tiger population. The place has more than 50 rock shelters with paintings that are 1500 to 10,000 years old. Ghats of Varanasi- The Ganga river with its riverfront ghats fulfill the criteria of Cultural Landscapes, “that retains an active social role in contemporary society closely associated with the traditional way of life, and in which the evolutionary process is still in progress“. Megalithic site of Hire Benkal The 2,800-years-old megalithic site of Hire Benkal in Karnataka is one of the largestprehistoric megalithic settlements where some funerary monuments are still intact. The granite structures are burial monuments that may also have served many ritual purposes. Maratha Military Architecture in Maharashtra There are 12 forts in Maharashtra dating back to the era of the 17th-century Maratha king Chhatrapati Shivaji.
