Although since past river water and basin morphology both have affected and changed by some natural and human induced activities. Human civilization since time immemorial has been rooted close to river basin. Changing morphology of a river channel has done also by natural causes. The hydromorphological state of a river system replicates its habitat quality and relies on a variety of both physical and human features.

Fear! Art, childhood stories, movies, and mythology have always depicted them as evil, inducing more fear. The reducing population of snakes—from rich green forest due to farming, the industrial revolution, the skin trade for bags, urbanization, road kills and hunting—the animal kingdom’s most persecuted group!

  • Current State of Sustainable Development Law: a Case Study of Some Illustrative Large Projects in North East India
    © 2019 JETIR May 2019, Volume 6, Issue 5 www.jetir.org (ISSN-2349-5162) CURRENT STATE OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT LAW: A CASE STUDY OF SOME ILLUSTRATIVE LARGE PROJECTS IN NORTH EAST INDIA Dr. YUMANM PREMANANDA SINGH Assistant Professor Govt. Mizoram Law College Aizawl, India Abstract: The evolution of humankind is largely dependent on the quality of the environment and the resources it provides, and the natural environment plays a vital role in ensuring the survival of present and future generations. The most important factor that drastically challenges the very existence of the earth and its natural environment is developed. While undertaking development works particularly the construction of large dam, natural environment is considered minor important. The same fact is true for the eight Himalayan provinces of India i.e. North East and perhaps more vulnerable in the field of environmental governance is concerned. The region has been identified as India’s ‘future powerhouse’ and at least 168 large hydroelectric projects with a total installed capacity of 63,328 MW are proposed for the region. The large dams’ juggernaut clearly promises to be the biggest ‘development’ intervention in these global biodiversity hotspots, ecologically and geologically fragile, seismically active and culturally sensitive region in the coming days. The paper will highlight a brief introduction on international sustainable law and question of sustainable development in the north -east region of India with an illustrative case study of some large projects in the light of sustainable development law and Environmental Jurisprudence of India. Keywords: Development, environment, Environmental Jurisprudence, Indigenous peoples, sustainable development and International Sustainable Development Law Introduction The important of the environment is universally acknowledged.
