Chapter 1 Introduction
Draft EIA- River Bed Mining at Mai Chak (46.37Ha), J&K File No DEIA/JNK/2016/02 1 CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION BACKGROUND Rivers are the most important life supporting system of nature. For centuries, humans have been enjoying the natural benefits provided by rivers without understanding much on how the river ecosystem functions and maintains its vitality. Man has changed the nature of many of the world's rivers by controlling their floods, construction large impoundments, over exploitation of living and non living resources and using rivers for disposal of wastes. Among these, unscientific and indiscriminate extraction of river bed material from river bed are the rampant activities which are threatening the very existence of the river ecosystem. In order to mitigate the impact of river bed mining on the environment, a scientific assessment is a pre-requisite for framing sustainable development strategies. Indeed, in a developing country like India, the supply of sand & gravel as a raw material for infrastructure development has a paramount importance. Therefore, the implementation of scientific mining principles through EIA & EMP plays a vital role in sustainable economic growth of ourcountry. Benefits of Sustainable River Bed Mining ü Prevents the river bed from becoming shallow due to the deposition of sediments. ü Scientific mining prevents the excessive erosion, which can damage flora, agriculture land and settlements situated in close proximity. ü It maintains the water retention capacity and help to avoid flood like situations. ü It generates useful economic resource for construction and generates employment in local areas. PURPOSE OF THISREPORT Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is a decision making tool, in the hands of the Authorities which brings forth the factual position about a project that enables them in arriving at an appropriate conclusion for the proposed projects, to retain them if environmentally sound, and reject if found having deleterious overall impact. -

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. -

Aquaculture and Fisheries Studies Research Open Volume 3 Issue 1 Research Article Fish Fauna of the River Ravi and Its Some Tributaries with a New Record of Ailia puncata and Clupisoma naziri for Punjab State and Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir, India Dutta SPS* Department of Environmental Sciences, University of Jammu, Jammu (180006), India *Corresponding author: Dr. Dutta SPS, Department of Environmental Sciences, University of Jammu, Jammu (180006), India; Email: [email protected] Received: March 03, 2021; Accepted: March 09, 2021; Published: March 16, 2021 Abstract Fish fauna of the river Ravi and its some tributaries in Chamba district (H.P.) and from Shahpur (H.P.) to Gogga Mahal, Amritsar (Punjab) reported earlier and present survey from Ranjit Sagar dam to Kathour, Pathankot, Punjab, including Kathua district, has revealed the presence of 97 fish species belonging to 8 orders, 18 families and 53 genera. Among various orders, there is dominance of Cypriniformes (54 spp.) followed by Siluriformes (26 species), Percformes (9 species), Synbranchiformes (3 species), Osteoglossiformes (2 species) and Clupeiformes, Salmoniformes and Beloniformes (1 species, each). The list also includes a new record of Ailia punctata and Clupisoma naziri (reported earlier from Pakistan) for Punjab state and Union territory of Jammu and Kashmir. Salmo trutta fario noticed in Sewa River is also included in the present list. Like other Indian states, fish fauna is rapidly declining due to overfishing, fishing during monsoon breeding and illegal fishing methods (Dynamiting, electric shocking, poisoning etc.). Conservation status based on IUCN observations has also been discussed. Keywords: Fish fauna, The River Ravi, New record of Ailia punctata and Clupisoma naziri Introduction the river Ravi. -
Introduction
I INTRODUCTION The present working plan is the revision of the fifth plan for the period of 1989-90 to 1998-99 for the Billawar Forest Division, prepared by Sh. H. S. Salathia. The first part of the plan has been prepared on the standard lines and brought up to date. All the information which could be available have been collected, consolidated and incorporated in this plan. There are not many differences in respect of management prescribed for these forests in this plan as compared to the past plan. The working circles constituted in the last plan have been more or less continued and accordingly the allotment to different working with necessary modifications has been suitably rationalized. The yield calculations and prescriptions are based on practical considerations and past working. The latest and modern concepts in forestry have been very well kept in view while compiling the various aspects of the plan. The forests of this division have been classified as per standard “Forest Types” in conformity with mode of classification adopted by “Champion and Seth” in the “Survey of Forest Types of India”. The fauna found in this tract have been described in detailed and a chapter on wildlife management is included. Over the years, the forests of the division have suffered a lot. This can be attributed to relentless pressure for fuelwood, timber and fodder, inadequacy of protection measures resulting in illicit fellings and encroachments, and tendency to look upon these forests as revenue earning sources. In the present plan stress has been laid on preservation, maintenance, sustainable utilization, restoration and enhancement of natural environment. -

Yet until recently (Ansari 2005; Talbot 2006) little was written about the longer term socio- economic consequences of this massive dislocation, especially for Pakistan.
