  • 105 Chapter-5 L U C K N 0 W a Study in Resort Personality Physical
    105 Chapter-5 L U C K N 0 W A Study in Resort Personality Physical Setting : The cultural city of Lucknow - on - Gomati is a paramount urban agglomeration in the otherwise economically depressed rural Awadh. Lucknow »was founded on the mound, strategically located on the southern banks of the river Gomati. River frontages are not mere localizable attractions for city facades but they also have a secret hand in determining the morphological aspects of townships particularly in their early stages of development. It is situated at 26*^52' N Latitude and 80^ 56'E longitude. Presently, Lucknow dominates as the capital of Uttar Pradesh. This city, of about over one and half million people ranks among the ten big metropolis of India. Lie of the Land : Considering the notoriety of the Gomati for frequent rising in spates, the high mound-popularly known as the Lakshman Tila- was an ideal location for a human settlement, insuring safety and security against flood hazards. The rest of the land undulates very gradually, almost imperceptibly, towards the south and south east. Now known as Lakshman Tila. 106 TAMING OF THE GOMATI I MILE LUCKNOW: FLOODS SUBMERGED AREA BUND LINE The. Gomati ka^ bzen notoxiou^ {jox h.z>i ' {,ioujn-;>'.

  • Roorkee Diary
    Roorkee Diary Anil K Rajvanshi Phaltan, Maharashtra, India [email protected] 1. I was invited in March to IIT Roorkee to be the chief guest at the inaugural session of Cognizance 2014. This is billed by them as the largest techfest in India. Last year I had been invited to give a guest lecture at Techkriti – the premier tech festival at IIT Kanpur. They had also billed it as the largest techfest in India. So all the IITs have to get together to decide whose techfest is really the largest! 2. The fastest way to reach Roorkee is to fly into Jolly Grant (JG) airport in Dehradun and then drive to Roorkee. The JG airport is a small airport recently refurbished and the distance of 66 Km to Roorkee is covered in 2 hours! This is because the roads are absolutely horrible with huge potholes and being single lane with heavy truck and bus traffic. 3. This was my third visit to Roorkee – the first was in 1973 when as a student of IIT Kanpur I had presented a paper on solar energy at the national solar energy conference in Roorkee University (it became IIT only recently). My remembrance of that visit was that Roorkee was a small place and we could go any place in town on a cycle rickshaw. Now it is a growing town with city buses and other modes of motorized transport. The second visit, just for a day, was in the 1990s to attend an MNES workshop. 4. IIT Roorkee campus is small, compact and a nice one.

  • Chapter – 15 ENVIRONMENT and SOCIAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT
    Chapter – 15 ENVIRONMENT AND SOCIAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT Detailed Project Report for Rail Based Mass Transit System in Kanpur FINAL REPORT Chapter 15: Environmental and Social Impact Assessment 15. ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT 15.1 EXISTING SCENARIO 15.1.1 Environmental Baseline Data on land environment has been collected and compiled from various sources and during field surveys. Information about geology, hydrology, prevailing natural hazards like earthquakes etc have been collected from literature reviews and authenticated information made available by government departments. Water quality, soil quality, ambient air and noise environment in the surrounding areas were assessed primarily through field studies, and by undertaking monitoring and analysis of samples collected from field. Meteorological data was collected from Indian Meteorological Department (IMD). A scoping matrix was formulated to identify the attributes likely to be affected due to the development of proposed project and is presented in Table 15.1. The general environmental attributes pertaining to the proposed metro project along with parameters to be collected and its frequency are presented in Table 15.2. TABLE 15.1: SCOPING MATRIX ASPECT OF ENVIRONMENT LIKELY IMPACTS A. Land Environment Increased soil erosion Construction Phase Pollution by construction spoils Solid waste from worker colonies, construction sites B. Water Resources & Water Quality Water quality impacts due to disposal of wastewater from worker camps Construction Phase and construction sites,

  • Are You Suprised ? F…
    1.0 INTRODUCTION The Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974 has been aimed to fulfill the water quality requirement of designated-best-uses of all the natural aquatic resources. Loss of bio-diversity on account of degradation of habitat has become the cause of major concern in recent years. Central Pollution Control Board, while executing the nation wide responsibility for water quality monitoring and management has established water quality monitoring network in the country. The Water Quality Monitoring Network constitutes 784 monitoring stations located on various water bodies all over the country. However, wetland areas have not been included as part of regular water quality monitoring network in the country. Keeping in view the importance of water quality of wetland areas, Central Pollution Control Board has initiated studies on Bio-monitoring of selected wetlands in wildlife habitats of the country. Bio monitoring of wetlands in wild life sanctuaries has been considered as most suitable measure to evaluate the health of wildlife ecosystem. Further, the monitoring of environmental variables will be immensely helpful in protecting and restoring the ecological status in these threatened habitats. 2.0 CPCB’S INITIATIVES FOR BIO-MONITORING OF WETLANDS Under the Indo-Dutch collaborative project, the development of bio- monitoring methodology for Indian river water quality evaluation was initiated during 1988. The Central Pollution Control Board carried out a pilot study on the River Yamuna for a selected stretch from Delhi upstream to Etawah downstream. The main objective of this study was to formulate strategic methods, which can be accepted in scientific and legislative framework for water quality evaluation.
