CDP of Nashik Municipal Corporation Under JNNURM
CDP of Nashik Municipal Corporation under JNNURM 3. NASHIK CITY 1. Introduction The city of Nashik is situated in the State of Maharashtra, in the northwest of Maharashtra, on 19 deg N 73 deg E coordinates. It is connected by road to Mumbai (185 kms.) and to Pune (220kms.). Rail connectivity is through the Central railway, with direct connection to Mumbai. Air link is with Mumbai, though the air service is not consistent and a proper Airport does not exist. Nashik is the administrative headquaters of Nashik District and Nashik Division. It is popularly known as the “Grape City” and for its twelve yearly ‘Sinhasta Kumbh Mela’, it is located in the Western Ghats on the banks of river Godavari, and has become a center of attraction because of its beautiful surroundings and cool and pleasant climate. Nashik has a personality of its own due to its mythological, historical, social and cultural importance. The city, vibrant and active on the industrial, political, social and cultural fronts, has influenced the lives of many a great personalities. The Godavari River flows through the city from its source in the holy place of Tribakeshwar, cutting the city into two. Geographical proximity to Mumbai (Economic capital of India) and forming the golden trangle with Mumbai & Pune has accelerated its growth. The developments of the past two decades has completely transformed this traditional pilgrimage center into a vibrant modern city, and it is poised to become a metropolis with global links. New Nashik has emerged out of the dreams, hard work and enterprising spirit of local and migrant populace.

Mapping Land Subsidence of Krishna – Godavari Basin Using Persistent Scatterer Interferometry Technique
Mapping Land Subsidence of Krishna – Godavari Basin using Persistent Scatterer Interferometry Technique Lokhande Rohith Kumar, Divya Sekhar Vaka, Y. S. Rao Centre of Studies in Resources Engineering, IIT Bombay, Powai-400076, Mumbai, India Email: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] KEYWORDS: Interferometry, subsidence, PALSAR, oil and gas wells ABSTRACT SAR Interferometry (InSAR) is a technique by which a wide area can be mapped for surface deformation. The conventional InSAR technique has limitations due to baseline restriction, atmospheric phase delay and temporal decorrelation. Persistent Scatterer Interferometry (PSI) technique is an advanced InSAR technique, and it mitigates the atmospheric phase delay effect and geometric decorrelation to a large extent by utilizing a stack of interferograms and gives time series deformation with high accuracy. Extraction of oil and natural gas from underground deposits leads to land subsidence. The East coast of Andhra Pradesh (AP) state in Krishna-Godavari basin is most likely to be affected by this phenomena because of extraction of oil and natural gas from its underground reservoirs for the last two decades. In this paper, an attempt is made to know how the urban cities in this region are affected due to land subsidence using PSI technique. For this, two coastal test areas are selected and ALOS-1 PALSAR datasets from 2007 to 2011 comprising of 11 and 13 scenes are processed using PSI technique. Although the area predominantly agriculture, small villages, towns and cities provide adequate Persistent Scatterers (PS). From the results, land deformation rates of different cities in test area are observed.

Chapter 5 - Architectural and Urban Patronage
CHAPTER 5 - ARCHITECTURAL AND URBAN PATRONAGE In 1779 CE Ahilyābāī Hoḷkar sent a letter to Gopikābāī Peśvā, grandmother of the then Peśvā, Savāī Mādhavrāv and the wife of Nānāsāheb Peśvā. Some years before, Gopikābāī, who was staying at Nāśik, had constructed a kuṅda and ghāṭ on the Godāvarī River known respectively as Rāmkuṅda and Rāmghāṭ. Ahilyābāī wrote to Gopikābāī requesting for permission to repair and rebuild the same in a more artistic manner. Gopikābāī flatly refused any such permission saying that the kuṅda and ghāṭ were meant to preserve her memories which she did not want to be destroyed (Sathe, 2013, p. 143). Ahilyābāī retaliated by not sending the sarees that Gopikābāī had requested from Maheshwar. It was an act of what Bourdieu has termed as ‘symbolic violence’, a strategy employed by those having legitimacy in the social field to maintain their positions from any competition. Clearly, Gopikābāī saw Ahilyābāī’s intervention as a threat to her authority. This apparently simple event shows the acute awareness that patrons had, of the power of architecture in consolidating their social positions. They used architecture consciously to further their social and political aims. What purposes did the construction projects serve beyond the mere function? How were buildings used by the agents to assert authority and consolidate social positions? Can we trace any thematic continuity between the patronage of preceding centuries and the eighteenth century? This chapter attempts to answer such questions by focusing on patronage and matronage in the study area. Patronage and its relationship with architecture has been an important concern for a number of years in Historical studies.

Significance of Riverine Carbon Transport: a Case Study of a Large Tropical River, Godavari (India)
Vol. 45 Supp. SCIENCE IN CHINA (Series C) October 2002 Significance of riverine carbon transport: A case study of a large tropical river, Godavari (India) M. M. Sarin, A. K. Sudheer & K. Balakrishna Physical Research Laboratory, Ahmedabad 380 009, India Correspondence should be addressed to M. M. Sarin (email: [email protected]) Received June 26, 2002 Abstract Although riverine carbon fluxes are a minor component of the global carbon cycle, the transfer of organic carbon from land to ocean represents a flux of potential carbon storage, irre- versible over 103 to 104 a. Future carbon transfers through river basins are expected to accelerate, with respect to both sources and sinks, because of the large-scale human driven land-use and land-cover changes. Thus, the increased amounts of carbon transported to and sequestered in marine sediments (through fertilization by river-borne inorganic nutrients) may be an important net sink for anthropogenic CO2. Particularly, the humid tropics of South Asia are regions very sensitive to this lateral C transport because of high precipitation and high rates of land use and cover change. In this paper we report on the role of upland tributaries in the transport processes influ- encing the lateral carbon and nitrogen fluxes of the Godavari, a large tropical river of India. By far, dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) is the dominant form of carbon transport in the river basin. It con- stitutes as much as 75% to the total carbon load. Particulate and dissolved organic carbon (POC and DOC) fluxes account for 21% and 4%, respectively. In the upper basin, DOC fluxes exceed that of POC due to large-scale anthropogenic activities.

Deterioration in Water Quality of River Kshipra at Ramghat, During Mass Bath, Ujjain, M.P
P: ISSN No. 0976-8602 RNI No.UPENG/2012/42622 VOL.-IV, ISSUE-II, April-2015 E: ISSN No. 2349 - 9443 Asian Resonance Deterioration in Water Quality of River Kshipra At Ramghat, During Mass Bath, Ujjain, M.P. India Abstract People from all across the world come to take dip in holy river Kshipra, by doing so they think that they will set themselves free from all their sins but they do not know that they are exposing them self to several health problems and various dangerous diseases. Ujjain is one of the ancient and holy city of India situated on the banks of river Kshipra. Khipra river is known for its sacracy and hence, enjoys status of mother goddess in mythology. Performance of various anthropogenic activities at the banks of the river leads to depletion of water quality. This induces a vast change in the river ecology and upsets the aquatic flora and fauna. Keeping this in view, the present study was conducted to evaluate the Shivi Bhasin effect of mass bathing on water quality in terms of physicochemical and microbiological parameters before, during and after mass bath. In the Research Scholar, present study higher values of biological oxygen demand (BOD) and Deptt.of Zoology & Biotechnology, Chemical oxygen demand (Cod) were observed indicating higher degree Vikram University, of organic pollution rendering water to be unsuitable for drinking and Ujjain, M.P. bathing purposes. DO was found to be low and within a range of 3.3-6.0 mg/litre which declined during and after mass bath certifying the increased pollution load on the water body.
