  • Sambhar Lake: Rajasthan
    Sambhar Lake: Rajasthan drishtiias.com/printpdf/sambhar-lake-rajasthan Why in News The State Government of Rajasthan will identify new tourist points at Sambhar Salt Lake. The Lake forms part of the desert circuit in the Centre’s Swadesh Darshan Scheme. The Scheme was launched by the Ministry of Tourism in 2014 -15 for integrated development of theme based tourist circuits in the country. Key Points Location: Situated about 80 km southwest of Jaipur, in east-central Rajasthan. Features: Salt Lake: It is the largest inland salt lake in India. It represents the depression of the Aravalli Range. The lake’s salt supply was worked by the Mughal dynasty (1526–1857) and it was later owned jointly by the Jaipur and Jodhpur princely states. Ramsar Site: It is a wetland of ‘international importance’ under the Ramsar Convention, declared in 1990. Size and Depth: 1/2 The area occupied by this lake differs from season to season, so roughly it is between 190 and 230 sq km. Also, being an extensive saline wetland, the depth of the lake also fluctuates from season to season. During peak summers (dry time), the depth measures as low as 60 cm but during the monsoons, it goes up to 3 m. Rivers: It receives water from six rivers, namely Samaod, Khari, Mantha, Khandela, Medtha, and Roopangarh. Vegetation: The vegetation present in the catchment area is mostly xerophytic type. Xerophyte is a plant adapted for growth under dry conditions. Fauna: Flamingoes, pelicans and the waterfowls are commonly sighted at the Sambhar Lake. In 2019, almost 22,000 migratory birds died at the Lake due to avian botulism, a neuromuscular illness.

  • Dam Break Analysis of JAWAI Dam PALI, Rajasthan Using HEC-RAS
    IOSR Journal of Mechanical and Civil Engineering (IOSR-JMCE) e-ISSN: 2278-1684,p-ISSN: 2320-334X, Volume 17, Issue 2 Ser. I (Mar - Apr 2020), PP 43-52 www.iosrjournals.org Dam Break Analysis of JAWAI Dam PALI, Rajasthan Using HEC-RAS Ankush kumar Gupta1, Ishu Narang2, Pooja Goyal3 (Assistant Professor, MBM Engineering College,Jodhpur) (Junior Engineer, PHED Rajasthan) (Assistant Engineer, Nagar Parishad, Bhilwara) Abstract: Due to old methods of construction dam was under designed and with use of poor materials of construction it is prone to collapse due to aging. Moreover the magnitude of peak floods to be used for the spillway design was based upon rough estimates which do not according to the modern estimates of extreme floods as suggested by experts of the International committee on large dams and the seismic potential was also under- estimated thus there are more chances for the dam to failure and such an accident will result in economic loss of states which mainly depends on river water. So keeping these points in mind an analysis of Jawai dam failure which is situated in Sumerpur town of Pali district Rajasthan and built in 1957 by Raja Umaid Singh has been done with the help of HEC-RAS to get the breach characteristics of dam and with the help of Arc-GIS and HEC-GeoRAS inundation mapping is made of downstream area of dam so that proper hazard prevention and mitigation measures can be taken at the time of such an accident and economic losses can be reduced.And results shown by HEC-RAS describe that for PMF 7267.34 m3/s, maximum stage will be 243.89 meter upto 7 km downstream and from there it reduces to 133.38 meter and it ahead it little varies .from the above results it is proved that flow area is different for different cross section, near the dam flow area is 101697 to approximately 12000 square meter and from 7 km downstream it suddenly reduces to 25929.12 to approximately 15000 square meter area.

[email protected] ISBN 81-87500-58-1 2011 (223-254) Quaternary Geomorphic Processes and Landform Development in the Thar Desert of Rajasthan Amal Kar1 Abstract: Evolution of landforms in the Thar Desert of Rajasthan is very much influenced by the exogenic and endogenic processes operating in the region during the Quaternary period. Studies have revealed that several fluctuations in climate between drier and wetter phases and periodic earth movements decided the type and intensity of geomorphic processes. The paper describes the broad sedimentation pattern in the desert, known facets of Quaternary climate and landform characteristics. It also discusses the influence of Quaternary climate change, neotectonism and human activities on landform evolution. Introduction The Thar, or the Great Indian Sand Desert, is situated in the arid western part of Rajasthan state in India and the adjoining sandy terrain of Pakistan.

This study conducted spatio-temporal modelling of the largest saline Ramsar 17 site of India, in Sambhar wetland from 1963-2059. One CORONA aerial photograph of 1963 and 18 Landsat images of 1972, 1981, 1992, 2009, and 2019 were acquired and classified under 8 classes 19 as Aravalli, barren land, saline soil, salt crust, saltpans, waterbody, settlement, and vegetation for 20 spatial modelling integrated with bird census, soil-water parameters, GPS locations, and 21 photographs. Past decadal area statistics state reduction of waterbody from 30.7 to 3.4% at constant 22 rate (4.23%) to saline soil. Saline soil increased from 12.4 to 21.7% and saline soil converted to 23 barren land from 45.4 to 49.6%; saltpans from 7.4 to 14% and settlement from increased 0.1 to 24 1.3% till 2019.
