  • II Block in Nadia District, West Bengal, India
    www.ijird.com April, 2015 Vol 4 Issue 4 ISSN 2278 – 0211 (Online) The Role of Beels in Flood Mitigation- A Case Study of Krishnanagar- II Block in Nadia District, West Bengal, India Dr. Balai Chandra Das Assistant Professor, Department of Geography, Krishnanagar Govt. College, Krishnanagar, West Bengal, India Sanat Das Assistant Teacher, Department of Geography, Bablari Ramsundar High School (H.S), Nabadwip, West Bengal, India Abstract: Selected Beels (wetlands) of C. D. Block Krishnagar-II cover an area of 385.99 acres or 1562046.11 m2 or 1.56 km2. With an average depth of 1.81 meter they can provide scope for 3776155.383 m3 flood water. They provide space for spread of flood water over a vast area reducing the vertical level as well as the vulnerability of flood disaster. This spread of flood water over a vast area facilitates recharge of ground water, which again reduces the flood level. Spills acts as arteries and veins to transport silt laden flood water to Beels during flood and silt-free water during lean periods. These processes help in maintaining river depth of rivers and hasty pass of flood water again reducing the flood level. There are 11 wetlands (Recorded under B.L. & L.R.O, Krishnagar-II), having an average area more or equal to 5 acres or 20234.28 m2 have been considered for the present study. Data for this study were collected from the office of the B.L. & L.R.O, Krishnagar-II, District Fishery Office, Nadia and simple arithmetic calculation is made to come into conclusion that healthy Beels are worthy means for flood mitigation.

Iman Sk Assistant Teacher in Geography Vivekananda Palli Kishore Bharati High School, Behala, Kolkata ABSTRACT Agriculture is the process of producing food, feed, fiber and many other desired products by the cultivation of certain plants and the raising of domesticated animals (livestock) that controlled by the climatic condition, nature of topography and socio economic demands of any area. Agricultural pattern is perhaps the clearest indicator for the management and modification of natural environment into cultural environment.

Based on the block wise secondary data obtained from the Bureau of Applied Economics and Statistics, Govt. of West Bengal, I prepared the soil coverage mapping of the area that shows the cropping pattern of study area. The results show that jute is the main agricultural production than others agricultural production. In 2015-16 total production of jute is 1939800 tonne, where paddy and wheat productiona sre 1120900 tonne and 285600 tonne. However, a planned agricultural pattern is suggested considering demographic change of the region. Keywords: Topography, soil type, drainage, agriculture pattern and GDP.

III (Dec. 2014), PP 31-37 www.iosrjournals.org Alternative Tourism:Potency of Beels of C.D.Block Krishnagar-II Dr. Balai Chandra Das Assistant Professor in Geography, Krishnagar Govt. College, Nadia-741101, West Bengal, India. Abstract: Beels (wetlands) of C. D. Block Krishnagar-II cover an area of 886.972 acres or 363.67 km2. There are 12 wetlands (Recorded under B.L. & L.R.O, Krishnagar-II) in the block, having area more or equal to 5 acres. Amongst these 12 wetlands, 5 are major beels. Hansadanga Beel has an area of 178.08 acres, Nowpara Beel 240.89 acres, Satitala Beel 43.37 acres, Baro Beel 87.46 acres and Rukunpur Beel 46.96 acres. These beels have enormous potential to be developed as Alternative Tourism centers based on rural culture and festivals of Bengal related to water bodies. But inspite of enormous potential, Nadia district in general and this block in particular is totally insignificant from the view point of wetland-based tourism. This paper has prepared the blue print how this block can emerge as a significant tourists place based on these beels. Data for this study were collected from office of the B.L. & L.R.O, Krishnagar-II, District Fishery Office, Nadia and from Field survey. Keywords: Beels, Sikara, Nouka Baich, Angling, Aqua-Riding. I.

Going by the report of the National Higher Education Commission, it seems there never was a better time to skill the country. The findings of the report put the average age of the Indian population as 29 years in 2020 compared to 40 years in the US, 46 years in Europe and 47 years in Japan—outpacing China as the country with the largest tertiary-age population. With so many young Indian men and women scouting for jobs and industries complaining of appropriately skilled manpower, it warrants a paradox. Fortunately, 28-year-old Kamali who works as a team lead at a call centre at Kollumangudi village in Tiruvarur, Tamil Nadu, has steered clear of this conundrum. With her father being unwell, her earnings have bolstered the family’s finances. That’s all thanks to the start-up Desicrew which harnesses professional talent in non-urban areas.

  • A Case Study of Flood in 2000 in Murshidabad, West Bengal
    Research Paper Volume : 2 | Issue : 3 |Geography Mar 2013 • ISSN No 2277 - 8179 Role of Reservoirs in Flood: A Case Study KEYWORDS : Flood in Murshidabad, of Flood in 2000 in Murshidabad, West Massanjore Dam, Mayurakshi River Bengal Basin, Damodar Valley Corporation Swati Mollah Asst. Prof. in Geography, Department of Geography, Dumkal College, P.O. Basantapur, Dumkal, Murshidabad, PIN- 742 406 ABSTRACT In India, for controlling flood emphasis has been on structural measures especially construction of multipur- pose projects due to economy of construction cost. They are required to moderate the incoming floods to the maximum possible extent as well as store enough water during the monsoon period so that the conservation purpose are best served during the remaining period of the year. But unfortunately these structural measures have been proved futile for flood management. The main problem of these reservoirs is heavy siltation and inappropriate maintenance. In most cases, the actual rate of siltation is found to be higher than the design rate. For the 23 reservoirs the annual loss in live storage capacity is 0.912% of the original live storage capacity. These 23 reservoirs have already lost 23.11 % of LS by 2006. This paper attempts to find out the problems regarding the Massanjore Dam in controlling flood in Murshidabad, in particular based on secondary data from various government reports. It may help the administration of the district to find the solution of the flood problem in other way than depending on controlling flood through reservoir regulation. INTRODUCTION Most parts of India being dependent for water on 3-4 month long monsoon, reservoirs are created to store water for use oftrolling 2000 flood.in Murshidabad and its adjoining parts.

The river Bhagirathi-Hooghly is an effective With the passage of time heavy siltation has occurred in the part of the Ganga-Brahmaputra Delta system. The Hooghly off-take point which has resulted in its eastward off-take of the Bhagirathi- Hooghly is located near shifting and ultimately upland discharge to the Bhagirathi was drastically reduced. Then the construction of the Khejuritala (Murshidabad district, West Farakka Barrage and the Feeder canal increased the volume Bengal).From the map of James Rennell (1776) it is of water. Due to alternative process of erosion and deposition various phases of delta formation and sandbars stated that the region was not usually navigable in dry have taken place. The focus of the study is to investigate season from the off-take of Bhagirathi in and analyze the channel characteristics of Bhagirathi- Murshidabad to the confluence point of Jalangi in Hooghly River lying between Guptipara and Payradanga.
