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.

Study design: The temperate region of Kashmir valley is bestowed with many water bodies in the form of springs, lakes and rivers. Kashmir region is world famous for its lakes viz; Dal lake, Wulur lake, Mansbal lake, Anchar lake, Nigeen lake; springs viz; Kokarnag, Verinag, Achabal and river Jhelum etc. Dal lake and river Jhelum are known to be the nerve tributaries of the valley and various communities are dependent on these water bodies for their livelihood. Methodology: Contingent valuation method and willingness to pay techniques were used to analyse the data and interpret the results. Results: The results revealed that economic value associated with the selected water bodies was worth millions of US$. Most of the population in the valley depends on these water bodies for their livelihood.

  • A Case Study of Dal Lake
    International Journal of Environmental Sciences Shamim A. Shah Vol. 1 No.4 ISSN: 2277-1948 International Journal of Environmental Sciences Vol. 1 No. 4. 2012. Pp. 230-234 ©Copyright by CRDEEP. All Rights Reserved. Full Length Research Paper Tourism and Lake Sustainability: A Case Study of Dal Lake Shamim A. Shah Senior Assistant Professor,Department of Geography and Regional Development University of Kashmir,Hazratbal, Srinagar, 190006 ABSTRACT Dal is a Himalayan urban lake which is mainly used for tourism. Fishery and agriculture is of secondary importance. It is one of the most beautiful lakes of India and the second largest lake in the State of Jammu and Kashmir. Dal Lake is unique in having hundreds of house boats which afford an opportunity to tourists to reside on the lake in an atmosphere of peace and tranquility. Besides the Moguls gardens and campus of the University of Kashmir is also located along the shores of the lake. Overlooking the lake are two hillocks which house the famous temples of Shankaracharya and Hari Parbat. A perennial inflow channel enters the lake from the north and supplies about 80% of the water. Towards the southwest side an outflow channel drains the lake water into a tributary of the River Jhelum. Parallel to this exit is a stone-lined canal which connects the lake with the tributary. This channel is used for movement of boats in and out of the lake and prevents inundation of floating gardens during high floods. The author intends to give an insight in to the spatiotemporal trends in the tourist flow and changes in the ecology and environment of the lake.

EPTISA Servicios de Ingenieria SL (Eptisa) has been commissioned to undertake this Study on behalf of JTFRP. This report is the Task 1 Report for these Consultancy Services, and it comprises the work undertaken during the Inception Phase and Task 1 as per the TOR for Part A. The Jhelum River Valley suffered record flooding in September 2014 as a result of abnormally high and widespread rainfall particularly in the southern part of the catchment. The rainfall across the southern catchment in the first week of September averaged 433mm (Romshoo et al 2018). This resulted in widespread flooding along the Jhelum River from the confluence of the southern tributaries near Sangam, through Srinagar City, and downstream to Baramulla. The peak flow in the Jhelum River at Sangam was estimated by the Irrigation and Flood Control Department (IFCK) to be 3,260 m3/s (1,15,000 cusecs).

  • Phytoplankton Dynamics of Nigeen Lake in Kashmir Himalaya

Pandit P.G. Department of Environmental Science, University of Kashmir, Srinagar-190 006, India * Author to whom correspondence should be addressed; E-Mail: [email protected]. Article history: Received 3 March 2013, Received in revised form 27 March 2013, Accepted 29 March 2013, Published 4 April 2013. Abstract: The present limnological study on Nigeen lake revealed that water of the lake was alkaline in nature and the total hardness was mainly due to bicarbonates of Ca2+ and Mg2+. Though the nutrient content of the lake was generally low, yet an increasing trend was noticed around floating gardens especially during summer. In total 30 genera of phytoplankton were identified, in which Chlorophyceae was the dominant class with 12 species, followed by Bacillariophyceae with 9 species, 7 belonged to Cyanophyceae and only 2 to Euglenophyceae. Phytoplankton exhibited its maximum growth and development during summer season near residential areas and floating gardens. A clear dominance of Chlorophyceae over Bacillariophyceae, Cyanophyceae and Euglenophyceae was observed throughout the study period. Shannon-Wiener index of phytoplankton signifies the water body to be moderately diverse as the values lies below 5.00 while as values of Simpson diversity index indicate accelerated eutrophication. However, Bray-Curtis cluster analysis showed the highest similarity between pollution rich sites while dissimilarity was observed between less polluted sites.
