Pant Institute of Himalayan Environment & Development Kosi-Katarmal, Almora, Uttarakhand PROJECT PERSONNEL Principal Investigator: Dr. G.C.S.

Springs occur where sloping ground and impermeable strata intersect with the ground water table. The water sources of such springs, in most cases are unconfined aquifers where the water flows under gravity. Spring water discharge fluctuations owe primarily due to rainfall pattern in the recharge area or more precisely stated, to variation in the amount of rainwater that is able to infiltrate the ground and recharge the ground water. Marked variation in the discharge following rainfall indicates rapid infiltration of rainwater and recharge of the groundwater in colluvial-related springs, and discharge curves show strongly periodic seasonal rhythm. Superimposed on these variations is a periodic (monthly) fluctuation resulting from occasional heavy rainfalls, generally in the rainy season.

  • Chandrashila Peak Climb ‐ Chopta, Tungnath, Deoriatal Trek
    CHANDRASHILA PEAK CLIMB ‐ CHOPTA, TUNGNATH, DEORIATAL TREK NATURE OF TRIP Trekking LOCATION Garhwal Himalayas, Uttarakhand DURATION 5 Days (Haridwar ‐ Haridwar) TREKKING DAYS 3 Days MAXIMUM ALTITUDE Chandrashila peak summit (4000m) GRADE Moderate SEASON Sep‐Nov (in winters, Dec‐Mar, we run snow treks on this trail) ACCOMODATION Alpine Camping ‐ 2 Nights Hotel/Eco lodge ‐ 2 Nights GROUP SIZE Maximum of 15 persons ...We welcome you to join us on this memorable trip to the Himalayas BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE CLIMB & THE TREK If one is looking at a short 5‐day trek in the Himalayas then look no further. This is one of the most enchanting short treks and lies in the Garhwal region of Himalayas. This hike is in a protected area and hence there are minimal signs of civilization and abundance of flora & fauna, which adds to the beauty of the place. In the first leg of the trek we hike up to Deoriatal. This is a beautiful lake at an altitude of 2438 m and has captivating surroundings with forests all around. The Chaukhamba peak feels like it is an arm’s length away and the reflection of the mighty peak in the crystal clear waters of the lake creates a beautiful effect. The story associated with this scenic place is that when the Pandavas were in exile and were hiding from the Kaurava king, Duryodhan, they stopped nearby for a rest. When their mother Kunti felt thirsty, one by one four of her sons went to fetch water from this lake but died, as they could not answer the question put forth to them by the Yaksha Devta who resided here.

  • Indo-Nepal Open International Border: Challenges and Management
    Himalayan Journal of Development and Democracy, Vol. 4, No.1, 2009 Indo-Nepal open international border: Challenges and management Dr. Vinod K. Bhardwaj †††††††† B. B. D. Government Post Graduate College International borders are becoming a great concern for understanding and organizing international affairs and for accelerating global economic progress. The border management seeks to secure states first and then to maintain inter-state relations. However, in this era of globalization, the welfare of global / regional community receives a high priority and therefore the restricted border practices are felt obsolete by a majority of people though not by the entire world. Borderless models are being supported in theoretical frameworks, especially by economists and academicians of the developed and developing world. Though border liberalization and opening are not easy to implement, especially among developing countries, people have started thinking positively in this direction. The feasibility of the unrestricted opening of borders has not been assessed yet. Yet this idea can help the world to access unused resources and raise national income for human welfare. It may also help to decelerate regional income disparities globally. The evaluation of borderlessness needs an intense exercise in all its aspects to ensure the removal of barriers between countries are beneficial. This exercise has two clear aspects – the first in the context of economic advancement and international relations, and the second in terms of national security. These two aspects may help to compare the relative utility of the models in terms of their viability, cost factor and overall contribution to human development. Despite propagation of this ideology and its promotion by a majority of academicians across the world, the open border practices on the globe may be counted on tips.
