  • Title of the Project: Monitoring of Migratory Birds at Selected Water Bodies of Murshidabad District
    REPORT ON THE PROJECT 2020 Title of the project: Monitoring of Migratory Birds at selected water bodies of Murshidabad district Submitted by Santi Ranjan Dey Department of Zoology, Rammohan College, 102/1, Raja Rammohan Sarani, Kolkata 09 2020 REPORT ON THE PROJECT Title of the project: Monitoring of Migratory Birds at selected water bodies of Murshidabad District: Introduction: The avian world has always been a fascination to the human world and has been a subject of our studies. Mythological documents hold a number of examples of birds being worshiped as goods with magical powers by the ancient civilizations. Even today winged wonders continue to be the subject of our astonishment primarily because of their ability to fly, their ability to build extraordinarily intricate nests, and of course, the brilliant colour of their plumage – features that no human being can replicate. Taxonomically birds are categorized in “Orders” “Families” and “Genera” and “species”. But overall they are divided into two groups: Passeriformes (or Passerines) and Non Passeriformes (non passerines). At least 60% of all bird species are Passeriformes or song birds, their distinguishing characteristics being their specialized leg structure, vocal structure and brain-wiring which allows them to produce complex songs. The non- passerine comprises 28 out of 29 orders of birds in the world. Throughout the world approximately 11,000 species are found. India is having 1301 species. West Bengal has 57.69% of the total avian fauna (750 species). Though there are many nomenclatures used by different people, we followed “Standardized common and scientific names of birds of Indian subcontinent by Manakadan and Pittie (2001).” Identification of bird is generally based on combination of various characteristics.

Along with their tributaries, these rivers drain about 1.75 million sq km of land, with an average runoff of 1,200 cu km. The GBM system also supports over 620 million people. Thus, the need for cooperation on trans-boundary waters is crucial to the future well-being of these millions. That is precisely the motivation for the Ecosystems for Life: A Bangladesh- India Initiative (Dialogue for Sustainable Management of Trans-boundary Water Regimes in South Asia) project.

Flood characteristics decide the status of the terrain for its capability for sustaining the increased population of that area. In this paper, an attempt has been made to analyze the flood characteristics using the Gumble‟s Method and their impact on sustainable development and environmental management in the Deltaic Region of West Bengal, India. The Murshidabad District of the West Bengal State, India has been selected as a case study to assess the environmental impact of flood and their characteristics which includes different measures like flood elevation, discharge, volume and duration. The physical and socio-economic condition of the study-area have also been analyzed. An attempt has also been made to suggest some measures for the development of the study-area. Key Words: Flood, Flood Plain, Flood Characteristics, Gumble‟s Method, Sustainable Development and Environmental Management INTRODUCTION Flood in deltaic region is a disaster which can destroy the total environmental set up of the area. It causes river bank erosion, depression of land, shifting of river course, river channel widening etc due to it‟s high discharge, elevation, volume and longer duration.

    Ghosh D., Sahu A.S., Regional Science Inquiry, Vol. X, (2), 2018, pp.205-214 205 PROBLEM OF RIVER BANK FAILURE AND THE CONDITION OF THE EROSION VICTIMS: A CASE STUDY IN DHULIAN, WEST BENGAL, INDIA Debika GHOSH Assistant Professor, Department Of Geography, Krishnagar Govt. College, Krishnagar, Nadia, West Bengal, India *Corresponding Author Phone No. 8926059023 [email protected] Abhay Sankar SAHU Assistant Professor, Department Of Geography, University Of Kalyani, Kalyani, Nadia-741235, West Bengal, India. [email protected] Abstract The present paper deals with the problem of bank failure and the present condition of erosion victims in Dhulian. Continuous shifting of river course and erosion introduce vulnerable conditions on physical as well as social environment. Simple methodologies have been adopted to conduct this study. Primary data have been collected from the erosion victims regarding their condition. Satellite images have been used here for mapping purposes. Several statistical methods have also been used for discussions as well. Thousands of people - especially living along the river bank - are in a high risk condition. Population displacement from the river bank areas is the main impact of erosion. Gradual areal extension of riverine islands (chars) is one of the cause which leads to continuous sifting of Ganga towards right bank exhibits not a good sign for the densely populated Dhulian. Overall the condition of the erosion victims is very poor and challenging. Keywords: River bank erosion, vulnerability, erosion victims, protective strategies JEL classification: 1. Introduction River bank erosion is a natural and inevitable phenomenon of river and can be defined as a dynamic natural process which involves the removal of materials from the banks of a river.
