  • 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.

Group Bull. 33(2) 2016 R E P O R T FIRST SYSTEMATIC SURVEY FOR OTTER (Lutra lutra) IN LADAKH, INDIAN TRANS HIMALAYAS Pushpinder Singh JAMWAL1*, Jigmit TAKPA2, Pankaj CHANDAN1, Melissa SAVAGE3 1Western Himalayas Landscape, WWF-India 2Department of Wildlife Protection, Jammu and Kashmir, India 3University of California, Los Angeles, USA * e-mail [email protected] (*corresponding author) (Received 3rd September 2016, accepted 24th October 2016) ABSTRACT: We report the findings of the first survey for Eurasian otter (Lutra lutra) from the Upper Indus River and several of its tributaries in Leh and Kargil Districts, India. The survey was conducted between 25th August to 30th October, 2015. We report the distribution of otter sign, including camera trap images, scats, tracks, and latrines, and the habitat characteristics along 50 km of riverbank. We observed indirect sign of otter presence on two of the four rivers surveyed, but otter abundance appears to be low in the area. Human disturbance, including proximity to settlements, grazing livestock, and particularly feral dogs, appears to deter otter presence. Key words: Eurasian otter, Lutra lutra, Western Himalaya landscape, Indus River, Dras River INTRODUCTION The presence of otters in the Upper Indus River Valley of Ladakh, India, has only been reported anecdotally to date. Ladakh is a region in the northernmost Indian State of Jammu and Kashmir, on the western edge of the Tibetan Plateau. The great trough of the Upper Indus River Valley runs between the Zanskar Mountains, north of the Great Himalaya Range, and south of the Ladakh Mountains, a part of the Karakoram Range.
