Trout & Carp Fish Farms in Himachal Pradesh an Assessment Report
Trout & Carp Fish farms in Himachal Pradesh An Assessment Report Preamble: Fish farms are the foundation stones of Fisheries development in Inland Fisheries Sector. The seed produced at these seed production centres is either used for replenishing the harvested fish stock of open waters i.e. rivers or reservoirs or is further reared under semi-controlled conditions in growing ponds and sold for table purposes. Our state is one of the state amongst a few in the Union of India which has been gifted by the mother nature with the rivers emanating from glaciers, which traverse through hilly terrains and finally enrich the semi-plain and plain areas of the state adjoining Punjab and Haryana. Himachal Pradesh has approximately 3000 kms of riverine length and four reservoirs namely Gobind sagar, Maharana Partap sagar, Pandoh and Chamera constructed on Satluj, Beas, and Ravi rivers respectively. The upper zones of rivers inhabit indigenous Schizothoracids, and exotic salmonids (trout) while the zones interspersing the semi-plain and plain areas are the abodes of Himalayan tiger- the mighty mahseer, Indian Major Carps and the much sought after catfishes such as Singhara (Mystus seenghala) Malhee (Wallago attu) and Soal (Channa species). Keeping in view the variegated nature of water resources the Government of Himachal Pradesh through its department of Fisheries has setup two types of fish seed farms- Coldwater or Trout fish seed farms and warm water or Carp seed farms. The mandate of these farms till recently was to produce the seed of trout and carps and stock it in rivers and reservoirs with an aim of replenishing the harvested stocks from these water bodies.

Transbasin Transfer of River Waters in Punjab for Optimising Benefits
TRANSBASIN TRANSFER OF RIVER WATERS IN PUNJAB FOR OPTIMISING BENEFITS S.c. Sud! Rakesh Kashyap:Z ABSTRACT To utilise the waters of the rivers Sutiej, Beas and Ravi flowing through Punjab, and which come to the exclusive share ofIndia, as per the Indus Waters Treaty- 1960 between the Governments of India and Pakistan, a number of projects have been planned, constructed or are under construction on these rivers. These projects have helped in gainfully diverting the waters of river Beas in Sutlej and of river Ravi to Beas, in addition to providing multi-purpose benefits. The projects have brought an agricultural and industrial revolution to the states of Punjab, Haryana and the desert areas of Rajasthan and transformed them into granaries of India. The paper briefly describes the various projects and their salient features. The impacts of the projects on the economy, environment, health, tourism and recreation etc. have been highlighted. Since these projects have enabled the diversion of surplus waters of one river to another, studies for integrated operation and management of waters of these rivers have been carried out for deriving optimum benefits. The paper also describes the real time integrated operation techniques, factors necessitating their adoption, and computer models used for integrated operation of the Bhakra Beas system of reservoirs. It is recommended that for effective utilization of the available waters, and implementation ofthe real time integrated operation techniques, an automatic data collection and transmission system be installed. INTRODUCTION India is bestowed with abundant water resources, but their spatial and temporal distribution is quite uneven. About 80010 of the annual runoffin Himalayan rivers and 90010 in Peninsular rivers occurs during the four monsoon months from June to September.

Purpose of Hydroelectric Generation.Only 13 Dams Are Used for Flood Control in the Basin and 19 Dams Are Used for Irrigation Along with Other Usage
Indus (Up to border) Basin Version 2.0 www.india-wris.nrsc.gov.in 1 Indus (Up to border) Basin Preface Optimal management of water resources is the necessity of time in the wake of development and growing need of population of India. The National Water Policy of India (2002) recognizes that development and management of water resources need to be governed by national perspectives in order to develop and conserve the scarce water resources in an integrated and environmentally sound basis. The policy emphasizes the need for effective management of water resources by intensifying research efforts in use of remote sensing technology and developing an information system. In this reference a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed on December 3, 2008 between the Central Water Commission (CWC) and National Remote Sensing Centre (NRSC), Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) to execute the project “Generation of Database and Implementation of Web enabled Water resources Information System in the Country” short named as India-WRIS WebGIS. India-WRIS WebGIS has been developed and is in public domain since December 2010 (www.india- wris.nrsc.gov.in). It provides a ‘Single Window solution’ for all water resources data and information in a standardized national GIS framework and allow users to search, access, visualize, understand and analyze comprehensive and contextual water resources data and information for planning, development and Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM). Basin is recognized as the ideal and practical unit of water resources management because it allows the holistic understanding of upstream-downstream hydrological interactions and solutions for management for all competing sectors of water demand.

Taming the Sutlej: Life or death R. S. Pirta Himachal Pradesh University, Department of Psychology, India 2001 [email protected] Keywords: deforestation, erosion, land erosion, floods, hydroelectric power, Himachal Pradesh, India. After about 65 km from Shimla the Hindustan-Tibet road (NH 22) winds down from the Narkanda at 2700m. Traveling over a bare ridge the glimpse of the mixed broad leafed and coniferous forest soothes the eyes. From his bungalow at Narkanda Colonel Rennick introduced potatoes in these hills. 1 Hill tops were denuded to plant these tubers. Soon forests give way to lush green apple orchards. Glens widen into a panoramic view of terraces. Vast expanse of landscape forms a uniform dark green background due to continuous rain in this season since early June. On the left is the Kotgarh ilaqua , the karmabhoomi of Satyanand Stokes.2 For himself he transcended from a Christian missionary to a Vedanti. However, for the natives he brought a revolution by bringing a tree crop from America, the apples. The identity of Himachal Pradesh is now its apples. On the right side is the lesser known area that lost its identity, the thakurai of Kumharsain. Identity crisis 3 coils and recoils like hairpin turns of road that steeply descends into the Sutlej valley basin at 900 m. It was August, piles of apple boxes ready for their journey to the market far away in the plains wait for their turn in lorries. DARK NIGHT IN THE SUTLEJ VALLEY In the second week of August 2000 it appeared that nothing wrong has happened few days ago in this region.

Fact File District Bilaspur Himachal Pradesh
FACT FILE DISTRICT BILASPUR HIMACHAL PRADESH MAP 2 | Page History of Bilaspur Bilaspur district comprises of the erstwhile princely state founded in the 7th century, also known as Kahlur. The ruling dynasty was Chandela Rajputs, who claimed descent from the rulers of Chanderwanshi Rajputs who reigned at Chanderi in the Bundelkhad region of present-day Guna district of Madhya Pradesh. It was Raja Bir Chand who extended the jurisdiction of kingdom Kahlur and during his 33 years of rule he subjugated about 15 neighboring princely states. He carved out a kingdom of Kahlur for himself. The Capital of ruling dynasty continued to be located at Kotkahlur till 1600 A.D. when the heir apparent Bir Chand fled to Sunhani across the river Satluj along with his mother where he settled. He kept his capital at Sunhani on the right side of river Satluj. In 1650 A.D. when Deep Chand of the same dynasty succeeded as Raja of Kahlur state, he decided to shift his capital as he developed strong disliking for the place. He sought new site for the capital and finally settled at a place on the left bank of Satluj River traditionally called “Beas Gufa” after the name of ‘Rishi Vyas’. He built a palace called ‘Dholar’ overlooking the river and founded a town on the river bank which was named after the Beas Gufa and later on called Bilaspur. The town of Bilaspur was founded in 1663 when the capital of the state was shifted from Sunhani to this place. Since then the capital continued to be Bilaspur though the original town which was established by the Chandel dynasty which has now submerged in the ‘Gobind Sagar’.

Development of Reservoir Fisheries in Himachal Pradesh
RESERVOIR FISHERIES DEVELOPMENT IN HIMACHAL PRADESH DIRECTORATE OF FISHERIES, HIMACHAL PRADESH, BILASPUR. Foreword Reservoirs viz. Gobind Sagar, Pong (Maharana Pratap Sagar), Chamera, Ranjeet Sagar and Kol Dam of Himachal Pradesh with mean water spread of 43,785 ha constitute an important fishery resource of the State. The developments of fisheries on scientific lines in these ecotypes have shown its tremendous potential for food production and generating employment. In view of series of management measures taken by the State Fisheries Department, a total of 13909.62 tonnes of fish was harvested from Gobind Sagar and Pong (Maharana Pratap Sagar), during (2006-07 to 2016-17). This has also helped in providing viable vocation to over 5,500 fishermen families, constituting about 20% of dam’s oustees on sustained basis. During 2015-16 alone a total of 1144.882 tonnes of fish valued Rs. 1093.73 lakhs was harvested by 6098 fishermen from state reservoirs. The department’s income from state reservoirs during a single year alone (2016-17) was Rs. 174.10 lakhs. Further, while Gobind Sagar is maintaining a unique distinction of highest per hectare fish production (over 48 to 149 kg/ha.) for over one decade, the Pong Reservoir fishermen are getting highest per unit price of their catch at landing sites (Rs. 41-250/ kg.) in the country. In view of these two characteristic features while the fishermen of Gobind Sagar have benefited by continuous increase in total catch over the years, the fishermen of Pong reservoir got benefited by steep increase in the price of the harvest.
