  • People's Biodiversity Register (PBR) for the City of Vasai-Virar, Maharashtra
    TERRACON ECOTECH PVT LTD Ecology and Biodiversity Projects People’s Biodiversity Register (PBR) for the City of Vasai-Virar, Maharashtra Client: Vasai-Virar Municipal Corporation Project Duration: 1 Month (December 2019) Location: Vasai-Virar City Maharashtra Project Description Introduction: The Biological Diversity Act, 2002 (No. 18 of 2003) was notified by the Government of India on 5th February, 2003. The Act extends to the whole of India and reaffirms the sov- ereign rights of the country over its biological resources. Subsequently, the Government of India published Biological Diversity Rules, 2004 (15th April, 2004). The Rules under section 22 states that ‘every local body shall constitute a Biodiversity Management Com- mittee (BMC’s) within its area of jurisdiction’. The main function of the BMC is to pre- pare People’s Biodiversity Register (PBR) in consultation with the local people. The Reg- ister shall contain comprehensive information on availability and knowledge of local bio- logical resources, and their medicinal or any other use. It is a confidential document, due to the inclusion of traditional knowledge associated with the usage of biodiversity. Vasai-Virar is the fifth largest city in Maharashtra according to 2011 census. It is located in Palghar district, ca. 50km north of Mumbai. The city is located on the north bank of Vasai Creek, part of the estuary of the Ulhas River. Benefits to the client: The PBR documents also record people’s knowledge of potential commercial applica- tions, and it is essential that measures be instituted to appropriately protect their intellectu- al property rights. Methodology and outcome: A People’s Biodiversity Registers (PBRs) is created using a participatory approach with communities sharing their common as well as specialized knowledge.

  • Heavy Metals in Vasai Creek, Mumbai: Applied Monitoring and Impact Assessment
    Science and Technology 2012, 2(4): 87-97 DOI: 10.5923/j.scit.20120204.06 Heavy Metals in Vasai Creek, Mumbai: Applied Monitoring and Impact Assessment Pravin U. Singare*, Manisha P. Trivedi, Ravindra M. Mishra Department of Chemistry, Bhavan’s College, Munshi Nagar, Andheri (West), Mumbai 400058, India Abstract The present study deals with the assessment of toxic heavy metals in water of Vasai Creek of Mumbai. The study was carried for the assessment years 2009-10 and 2010-11 at four different sampling stations. The heavy metals studied were Al, As, Cd, Cr, Hg, Ni, Pb, Sr and Mn. It was observed that the concentration level of the various toxic heavy metals for the year 2010-11 was higher than that obtained during the year 2009-10 by a factor of 1.1 to 1.5 µg/L. The environmental impact of these toxic heavy metals is discussed. The results of the present investigation point out the need to implement adequate environmental control and management programmes so as to minimise the toxicity effects of the heavy metals on marine life. Keywords Heavy Metals, Toxicity, Marine Life, Environmental Impact, Quantification, Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy, Cold Vapour Technique, Vasai Creek, Mumbai, India have a long residence time and hence exert their toxic effect 1. Introduction over a long time.

Maharashtra state area barring the extreme eastern Vidharbha Region, Kolhapur Region and Sindhudurg Region is practically coterminous with Deccan Plate. The Deccan Traps formed between 60 and 68 million years ago at the end of Cretaceous period. The bulk of the Volcanic eruption occurred at the western Ghats. (66 million years ago). The outpouring of basic lava through fissures formed horizontally bedded besalt over large areas. Variations in their composition and structure have resulted in bedded basalt over large areas. Variation in their composition and structure have resulted in massive well jointed steel grey cliff faces alternating with structural benches of vesicular amygadaloidal lava and ash layers, all of which contribute to the pyramidal shaped hills and crest level plateau.

  • CZMP of Mira Bhayandar Municipal Corporation in 1:25000 Scale
    Centre for Earth Science Studies, Thiruvananthapuram CZMP of Mira Bhayandar Municipal Corporation in 1:25000 scale 1. Introduction The preparation of the CZMP for Mira Bhayandar Municipal Corporation has been undertaken as part of the CZMP preparation for the coastal zone of Thane and Sindhudurg districts. The approach and methodology followed are the same for all the Municipal Corporations, Municipal Councils and rural areas in the above districts. The damages to the coastal zone and the impact of coastal hazards to communities and properties, to a certain extent, can be controlled by regulating high impact activities in the coastal zone. It was with this objective the Coastal Regulation Zone (CRZ) Notification (MoEF, 2011; 1991) was introduced in the country. 1. 1 Coastal Zone Management Plans The CRZ provides a spatial planning framework for Coastal Zone Management Plans which provide setbacks around sensitive eco-zones restricting development and other activities close to it. Setbacks require specific reference lines and boundaries for its meaningful implementation. The High Tide Line (HTL) forms the cardinal reference line for determining the setbacks for CRZ. The 100, 200 and 500m CRZ lines landward from the HTL are the landward setback lines. The Low Tide Line (LTL) and the Territorial water boundary (12 NM) form the setback lines towards the sea. The Coastal Zone Management Plans are prepared in 2 scales: 1. CZMP consisting of CRZ maps in 1:25000 scale with Survey of toposheets as base maps 2. CZMP consisting of CRZ maps in 1:4000 scale with cadastral maps as base maps The major work components are: i.

  • A Short Note on Project by Project Authority
    A Short Note on Project by Project Authority The proposed project is essentially a bridge project and involves construction of bridge on vasai creek connecting vasai and bhayandar cities. The mangroves at the places where bridge is to be constructed fall under protected forest categories which are to be cut in order to construct a bridge. General The proposed bridge project is mooted by Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA), a Government of Maharashtra Undertaking responsible for planning development works in Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR). The MMRDA has shown keen interests in developing urban projects in MMR including Vasai-Virar. It has sanctioned the work of construction of road bridge with an approximate length of 5 km and width is 30.6 meters (2 bridges of 3+3 lane with width of 14.3 m X 2 No. with 2 m gap) on Vasai Creek connecting Vasai and Bhayandar urban settlements. The bridge is proposed as a state of the art bridge in the structural arrangement comprising pre-cast segmental construction. The objective of the project is to improve the connectivity and to provide and improve transport & communication facilities between Vasai and Bhayender and to the surrounding area of village panju, which is currently, not connected through road transport. The Village Panju in Taluka Vasai situated on natural island formed on Vasai Creek having population of around 1400 persons as per 2001 census. The proposed project will cater major loads from Mumbai to Vasai and vice versa. This project activity will save present day detour of 30 Km; and will be useful for road traffic by avoiding longer length and resultant pollution and thus will be in good demand.

  • A Case Study of Vasai-Virar City Ms
    Determination of Suitable Landfill Site Using Geospatial Techniques: A Case study of Vasai-Virar City Ms. Priyanka S. Deshmukh1, Prof. Upendra R. Saharkar2 1P.G Student, Department of Civil Engineering, D.Y. Patil Institute of Engineering and Technology, Ambi, Pune, Savitaribai Phule Pune University 2Head of Department of Civil Engineering, D.Y. Patil Institute of Engineering and Technology, Ambi, Pune, Savitaribai Phule Pune University ABSTRACT Now-a-days, as rate of generation of waste increases hence solid waste management becomes challenge for city authorities in developing country, the burden posed on the municipal budget as a result of the high costs associated to its management, the lack of understanding over a multiplicity of factors that affect the different stages of waste management and associations necessary to permit the entire handling system functioning. This study represents solution for disposal of solid waste in Vasai- Virar city in forthcoming future by signifying one potential landfill location. Our results show that 6.25% of the territory of Vasai-Virar is unsuitable for regional landfill siting. The most suitable areas cover 37.49%, suitable areas 37.49%, while areas with low and very low suitability cover 18.75 and 6.25% of the territory, respectively. Based on these findings, two sites close to two large urban groups were suggested as possible locations for a regional landfill site in Vasai-Virar. Ten factors selected as criteria/sub-criteria were recognized as most important divided into geo-natural environmental, social, & techno-economic factors. Spatial layers were overlaid into a landfill suitability map. Criteria were mapped using the GIS system and spatial analytic tools.
