  • Exec Summary
    STUDY ON PLANNING OF WATER RESOURCES OF RAJASTHAN Executive Summary Project Background The State Water Policy of Government of Rajasthan, February 2010, provides for development of its Water resources in a well planned way. All new projects shall be planned based on micro watershed planning basis so as to ensure equity in use of surplus water. It is on this account that the Government of Rajasthan took up study to review and update all River Basin Master Plans for the integrated development and management of all its water resources. In this connection necessary provision of funds were made in EC funded State Partnership Program (SPP) under implementation in Rajasthan State. The earlier comprehensive study on water planning for different river basins in Rajasthan State was carried out by TAHAL-WAPCOS Consultants during year 1994-1998. This study was considered quite old and had much reduced relevance in today’s context. The present study therefore envisages to take-up review and fresh planning of all the water resources of Rajasthan based on updated water resources data and modern techniques now available in this field of study encompassing all necessary provisions made in the new water policy of the State Government. The purpose of this assignment is to prepare a long term plan and policy for development and management of the water resources of the State of Rajasthan, both surface (internal and external) and ground water, on comprehensive and integrated basis. The period of planning envisaged is 2010-2060. Scope of Work 1. Data Collection 2. Analysis of Agroclimatic Zone wise hydrology, temperature over a period of 20 years, find all changes in precipitation, no.

It gives broad indications of the position of fishing cats, caracals, desert cats and jungle cats. Less than ten fishing cats have been reported from Bharatpur. This is the only locality where fishing cats have been seen. Caracals are known to occur locally in Sariska in Alwar, Ranthambore in Sawaimadhopur, Pali and Doongargarh in Bikaner district. Their number is estimated to be less than fifty. Desert cats are thinly distributed over entire desert range receiving less than 60 cm rainfall. Their number may not be more than 500. Jungle cats are still found all over the State except in extremely arid zone receiving less than 20 cms of rainfall. An intelligent estimate places their population around 2000. The study reveals that the Indian hunting cheetah did not exist in Rajasthan even during the last century when ecological conditions were more favourable than they are even today in Africa. The cats are important in the ecological chain specially in controlling the population of rodent pests.

MINERALS FEBRUARY 1970 GOVERNMEN1'-UF R.J.JASM~ DEPARTMENT OF MINES AND GEOLOGY RAJASTHAN'S MINERALS FEBRUARY 1970 RAJASTHAN'S MINERALS Amongst the natural resources minerals by far enjoy a very important position because they are wasting asset compared to the . agricultural and forest . resources where if any mistakes have been committed at any time they can be rectified and resources position improved through manual effort. In case of minerals man has only his ingenuity to depend on in the search and so that exploitation of rock material which will give him the desired metals and· other chemicals made from minerals. He cannot grow them or ever create them but has· only to fulfil his requirements through the arduous trek from rich conce: ntrations of minerals to leaner ones as they become fewer and exhausted.· His. technical ingenuity is constantly put to a challenge in bringing more' dispsered metals to economic production. He has always to . be ca.refui that the deposit is not spoiled in winning the. mineral by ariy chance. Any damage done to a deposit cannot easily be rectified. · · · The position of minerals in the State of Rajastha~ all tbe more becomes very important for its economy because the agricultural and forest ~:esources are meagre and only a small portion of the States area is under cultivation. Not more than 20 years ago the potentiality of minerals in the· State was not so well known and one co.uld hardly say whether minerals would be able to play any important part in the economic development of the State.
