In the last four decades the water quality of Dal Lake has undergone enormous changes and which in turn had make it useless for domestic use and aesthetic view. Extension of land use in lake could increase the use of fertilizers which could cause the problem of eutrophication. The paper is an attempt to present condition of water quality in lake. Water quality can be assessed by different parameters like BOD, pH, nitrate, phosphorus turbidity etc.From the test results and data we observed that the maximum surface of lake water is covered by weeds which is the result of higher concentration of nitrate and phosphorous which directly results into siltation of lake water. Due to the higher values of BOD, COD it results the less amount of dissolved oxygen present in the lake water which causes the direct threat to Lake Ecosystem.

ABSTRACT Wular lake is one the largest fresh water lakes in South Asia. The lake is the gets water from the Jhelum river system having watershed of the whole valley. However with the greedy nature and the destruction in the name of development the water body is getting deteriorated. Wular Lake has been the victim of the ill planning practices within, around the Wular as well as within the catchment of the lake. Once known for the quality water and the aquatic life, has become reservoir of the pollution which comes in different forms through the water coming into Wular. The lake is shrinking at an alarming rate besides the water quality getting deteriorated on daily basis. Preservation of this lake the major issue and challenge is the preservation of the fragility valley of Kashmir. Keywords: Watershed, Deteriorated, Greedy, Catchment, Shrinking, Preservation, Fragility. I. INTRODUCTION God has bestowed the valley of Kashmir with numerous sizeable fresh water bodies in the form of lakes and rivers. Some of these water bodies have been recognized both at national and international levels e.g. Wular is considered as Ramsar site. All of these lotic and lentic hydro systems have supported the people of Kashmir through ages by supplying the means of sustenance refreshment and comfort.

This requirement could have been served by the 1981 District Census Handbooks which contain comprehensive basic information about populatIon by sex including literacy and work partici­ pation but the printing and publication of these handbooks which is the respon­ sibility of the State government will take some time. Until these handbooks are published, it is hoped that the present volume will serve a useful purpose to feed the urgent requirement of all data users. The Director of Census Opserations Shri A. H. Khan, under whose guidance the entire census operations were carried out, deserve all cred it for the success of the operations but he had to leave the organisation because of superannuation before this paper could be made ready for the press. I must record my deepest sense of gratitude to Shri V.S. Verma, Registrar General, India and Shri V.P. Pandey, Joint Registrar General, IndIa for their valuable guidance and for having agreed to bring out this specIal paper even in deviation of the approved census publications programme and arrange for its printing on a priority basis through the Printing Divi~ion of the Registrar General's Office under the supervision of Shri Tirath Dass, Joint Director.

Bemina, Srinagar-10 A SATELLITE BASED RAPID ASSESSMENT ON FLOODS IN JAMMU & KASHMIR – SEPTEMBER, 2014 Principal Coordinator Suresh Chugh, IFS Principal Investigator Majid Farooq © Copyright No part of this publication/report may be reproduced without the prior permission of the publisher, i.e., Dept. of Ecology, Environment and Remote Sensing Government of Jammu and Kashmir Bemina, Srinagar-10 & National Remote Sensing Centre Indian Space Research Organization, Hyderabad-37. Executive Summary Jammu & Kashmir experienced one of the worst floods in the past 60 years, during first week of September 2014, due to unprecedented and intense rains. The Jhelum River and its tributaries were in spate and caused extensive flooding in the region. The Decision Support Centre (DSC) of NRSC in collaboration with Department of Environment & Remote Sensing, J&K took necessary action on satellite data acquisition and processing and kept a close watch on the flood situation. All possible data from Indian Remote Sensing (IRS) satellites, as well as foreign satellites, covering Kashmir valley were obtained and analyzed. Rapid flood mapping and monitoring was done on almost daily basis and the flood inundation information was prepared. In addition, cumulative flood inundation, flood progression and recession maps were also prepared. Flood inundation simulation study was done using CARTO-DEM for Jhelum River to identify the possible flood affected areas and the same was uploaded on Bhuvan portal.
