Directors' Report PAVING THE WAY TO SUCCESS ANNUAL REPORT 2016-17 Forward-looking information In this Annual Report we have disclosed forward-looking information to enable investors to comprehend our prospects and take informed investment decisions. This report and other statements - written and oral - that we periodically make contain forward-looking statements that set out anticipated results based on the management’s plans and assumptions. We have tried wherever possible to identify such statements by using words such as ‘anticipates’, ‘estimates’, ‘expects’, ‘projects’, ‘intends’, ‘plans’, ‘believes’, and words of similar substance in connection with any discussion of future performance. We cannot guarantee that these forward looking statements will be realised, although we believe we have been prudent in our assumptions. The achievement of results is subject to risks, uncertainties and even inaccurate assumptions. Should known or unknown risks or uncertainties materialise, or should underlying assumptions prove inaccurate, actual results could vary materially from those anticipated, estimated or projected. Readers should bear this in mind. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

College Baramati, Pune District Maharashtra State, India. Email - [email protected] Abstract: The 2011 Indian Census found nearly 31% of India’s vast population lives within urban centers and contribute a handsome 63% toward India’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP). It is expected that by 2030, the population will rise up to 40% and GDP 75% . Without a shred of doubt, India’s cities are its chief catalyst towards economic prosperity. The term “smart city“was coined towards the end of the 20th century and it implies the implementation of user-friendly information and communication technologies developed by major industries for urban spaces. Its meaning has since been expanded to relate to the future of cities and their development. Smart cities are forward-looking, progressive and resource-efficient while providing at the same time a high quality of life. They promote social and technological innovations and link existing infrastructures. They incorporate new energy, traffic and transport concepts that go easy on the environment. Their focus is on new forms of governance and public participation. The present study analyses the facilities available in Baramati and explores its potential to become a Smart City.

ABSTRACT Understanding of spatio-temporal variability and availability of water from monsoon rainfall is essential in semi-arid region for planners to formulate the year plan of water uses comprising domestic, industrial water supply and irrigation. In the present work, the available water from monsoon rainfall in Karha Basin and at dam site is estimated. Yearly rainfall (station wise and average catchment rainfall) were constructed to identify the spatial and temporal variations in rainfall. By using daily rainfall data of three stations, the average catchment rainfall was estimated which has been used to define 75 percentile assured rainfall in a catchment. The study reveals there is a huge spatial variability in rainfall. It is increasing from East to West in a Nazare Dam Catchment. Sasvad raingauge station predominantly determines the dam storage volume. During the monsoon period, in dam catchment about 432 mm of assured rainfall and about 670 MCFT assured water volumes at dam site can be available. KEY WORDS:Semi-arid, variability, assured rainfall, dam storage, moving average. INTRODUCTION In India, grate social disputes has been resulting for water resources. As it affects all the biotic components, economic activities and the social quality of life at national, regional and the local level also. All the socio-economic activities are directly or indirectly depend on the water availability.

The hydrological behavior of the basin depends on the geomorphological parameters of the hydrographic basin. In the present study, a morphometric analysis was performed to determine the linear, areal and relief parameters of the Panzara River, the main tributary of the Tapi River, using the Geographic Information System tool. The river basin is of seventh order, showing a dendritic pattern of drainage that indicates the homogeneity in the texture of the basin. The drainage density in the area is 2.56 and the mean bifurcation ratio 5.065 indicates the less impact of structural deformations on the basin. The stream frequency of the basin is 3.20 showing low relief and high permeability. The present study reveals that the applications of GIS techniques are reliable, take less time and are competent to manage large databases for

  • Groundwater Resourcedevelopment and Management in Hard Rocks
    ABSTRACT VOLUME National Conference on Groundwater Resource Development and Management in Hard Rocks Edited by Namdeo J. Pawar Raymond A. Duraiswami Subhajyoti Das Supported by Department of Geology, University of Pune, Geological Society of India, Bangalore, Groundwater Surveys and Development Agency Department of Science and Technology, GoI February, 2010 Preface Ever increasing demand for groundwater resources in hard rock regions with limited renewable potential poses a serious threat to life. This precious resource therefore needs to be managed judiciously to ensure adequate supplies of dependable quantity and quality. It is a natural resource with economic, strategic and environmental value, which is under stress both due to changing climatic and anthropogenic factors. Therefore, the management strategies need to be aimed at sustenance of this limited resource. In India, and also elsewhere in the World, major parts of the semi-arid regions are occupied by hard rocks and it is of vital importance to understand the nature of the aquifer systems and its current stress conditions. Though the achievements through scientific development in exploration and exploitation are commendable, its exploitation has adversely affected the hard rock aquifer system, both in terms of quantity and quality; which is of major concern today. In order to reverse the situation, better management strategy of groundwater resources needs to be devised for prevention of further degradation of quality, and meeting the future quantitative demand. This necessitates understanding the flow mechanism, evaluating the potential and evolving optimal utilization schemes and assessing and monitoring quality in the changing scenario of anthropegenically induced influence from urban, agricultural, mining and industrial sectors besides preparing for resource management in view of the impending harsh and erratic climatic pattern.
