CHAMBAL BADLANDS: AN INTRODUCTION Land degradation is considered to be one of the most severe global environmental challenges (Eswaran et al., 2001; Lal, 2001; Scherr and Yadav, 2001). It has numerous economic, social and ecological consequences. Land degradation is also an important geomorphic process in many parts of the world and in a range of landscapes. Its causal determinants, in terms of local specificities, are yet to be understood fully (Lambin et al., 2003, 2009).

Sambhar Lake: Rajasthan
Sambhar Lake: Rajasthan drishtiias.com/printpdf/sambhar-lake-rajasthan Why in News The State Government of Rajasthan will identify new tourist points at Sambhar Salt Lake. The Lake forms part of the desert circuit in the Centre’s Swadesh Darshan Scheme. The Scheme was launched by the Ministry of Tourism in 2014 -15 for integrated development of theme based tourist circuits in the country. Key Points Location: Situated about 80 km southwest of Jaipur, in east-central Rajasthan. Features: Salt Lake: It is the largest inland salt lake in India. It represents the depression of the Aravalli Range. The lake’s salt supply was worked by the Mughal dynasty (1526–1857) and it was later owned jointly by the Jaipur and Jodhpur princely states. Ramsar Site: It is a wetland of ‘international importance’ under the Ramsar Convention, declared in 1990. Size and Depth: 1/2 The area occupied by this lake differs from season to season, so roughly it is between 190 and 230 sq km. Also, being an extensive saline wetland, the depth of the lake also fluctuates from season to season. During peak summers (dry time), the depth measures as low as 60 cm but during the monsoons, it goes up to 3 m. Rivers: It receives water from six rivers, namely Samaod, Khari, Mantha, Khandela, Medtha, and Roopangarh. Vegetation: The vegetation present in the catchment area is mostly xerophytic type. Xerophyte is a plant adapted for growth under dry conditions. Fauna: Flamingoes, pelicans and the waterfowls are commonly sighted at the Sambhar Lake. In 2019, almost 22,000 migratory birds died at the Lake due to avian botulism, a neuromuscular illness.

Current Condition of the Yamuna River - an Overview of Flow, Pollution Load and Human Use
Current condition of the Yamuna River - an overview of flow, pollution load and human use Deepshikha Sharma and Arun Kansal, TERI University Introduction Yamuna is the sub-basin of the Ganga river system. Out of the total catchment’s area of 861404 sq km of the Ganga basin, the Yamuna River and its catchment together contribute to a total of 345848 sq. km area which 40.14% of total Ganga River Basin (CPCB, 1980-81; CPCB, 1982-83). It is a large basin covering seven Indian states. The river water is used for both abstractive and in stream uses like irrigation, domestic water supply, industrial etc. It has been subjected to over exploitation, both in quantity and quality. Given that a large population is dependent on the river, it is of significance to preserve its water quality. The river is polluted by both point and non-point sources, where National Capital Territory (NCT) – Delhi is the major contributor, followed by Agra and Mathura. Approximately, 85% of the total pollution is from domestic source. The condition deteriorates further due to significant water abstraction which reduces the dilution capacity of the river. The stretch between Wazirabad barrage and Chambal river confluence is critically polluted and 22km of Delhi stretch is the maximum polluted amongst all. In order to restore the quality of river, the Government of India (GoI) initiated the Yamuna Action Plan (YAP) in the1993and later YAPII in the year 2004 (CPCB, 2006-07). Yamuna river basin River Yamuna (Figure 1) is the largest tributary of the River Ganga. The main stream of the river Yamuna originates from the Yamunotri glacier near Bandar Punch (38o 59' N 78o 27' E) in the Mussourie range of the lower Himalayas at an elevation of about 6320 meter above mean sea level in the district Uttarkashi (Uttranchal).

LIFELINES of INDIA's CIVILISATION in India, a River Is a Mini-Cosmos In
LIFELINES OF INDIA’S CIVILISATION In India, a river is a mini-cosmos in concept. Every river is a mother deity who spawns mythology, art, dance, music, architecture, history and spirituality. Each one has a clear identity, appearance, value, style and spirit just like a beautiful woman. In every age, diverse human communities have reinvented themselves on river-banks with fascinating nuances…. ‘Her shimmering gold-and-white garments dazzle like a thousand suns. The jewels in her crown shine like the crescent moon. Her smiling face lights up the whole world. In her hands, she carries a pot of nectar, a symbol of immortality. Her lotus-fresh presence brings a sense of purity and joy to all beings….’. At first glance, this reads like an over-the-top flowery description of a beautiful woman coined by some besotted lover. But to those conversant with the fascinating river-lore of India, this is the mythical portrayal of the River Ganga, written by Sage Valmiki, author of India’s immortal epic Ramayan. It describes the celestial Ganga as she descends from the heavens to the earth to bring salvation to mankind. This story, known asGangavataran, is such a fundamental tenet of Indian culture that it has held countless generations of Indians in awe for millenniums. The Ganga, arguably the most picturised and written-about river in the world, has been called the Mother of India’s Spirituality and has been immortalized in sculpture, art, literature, poetry, music and dance. Following her descent to the mortal world to sanctify human efforts to attain salvation, the Ganga is perceived as mokshdayini, the Mother Goddess whose waters bring relief from sin, sorrow and suffering.
