Thus, LUCC analysis may lay foundation for landscape planning, conservation and management. It is especially true for alpine landscapes, which are more susceptible to climate changes and human activities. However, the information on LUCC in sacred landscape is limited, which will hinder the landscape conservation and development. We chose Kailash Sacred Landscape in China (KSL-China) to investigate the patterns and dynamics of LUCC and the driving forces using remote sensing data and meteorological data from 1990 to 2008. A supervised classification of land use and land cover was established based on field survey. Rangelands presented marked fluctuations due to climatic warming and its induced drought, for example, dramatic decreases were found in high- and medium-cover rangelands over the period 2000–2008.

  • A Report on “Water Quality Scenario of Satluj River Between 2012-2016”
    A REPORT ON “WATER QUALITY SCENARIO OF SATLUJ RIVER BETWEEN 2012-2016” Submitted for partial fulfillment of award of MASTER IN TECHNOLOGY By BHUPINDER SINGH CHANNA Under The Supervision of Ms. Alka Assistant Professor DEPARTMENT OF CIVIL ENGINEERING LOVELY PROFESSIONAL UNIVERSITY G.T ROAD, PHAGWARA, PUNJAB Abstract Water is one of the vital needs of all living beings. Humans need water in many daily activities like drinking, washing, bathing etc. Water is the most important in shaping the land and regulating the climate.If the quality of water is not desirable then it becomes unfit for drinking and other activities. The quality of water is usually described according to its physical, chemical and biological characteristics. Hence it becomes necessary to find the suitability of water for various purposes like drinking, irrigation and Industrial purposes. Rapid industrialization and use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides in agriculture are causing deterioration of water quality and depletion of aquatic biota. Due to use of contaminated water, human population suffers from various water borne diseases. River pollution has been one of the main topics in the environmental issues of any country or state. Deteriorating water quality of rivers is of major concern in India; this is especially true for rivers being used as drinking water sources. One such river considered in this study is the Satluj. A total of 14 water samples from different point sources of pollution were collected and tested for physico-chemical parameters (pH, temperature, DO, BOD, COD, TSS, TDS), metals (As, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb and Zn) and microbiological parameter using World Health Organization (WHO) and the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) standards.

Additionally, ecosystems and habitats extend across political boundaries, causing more difficulties for ecosystem conservation. LULC in the Citation: Gu, C.; Zhang, Y.; Liu, L.; Kailash Sacred Landscape (KSL) has undergone obvious changes over the past four decades; however, Li, L.; Li, S.; Zhang, B.; Cui, B.; Rai, the spatiotemporal changes of the LULC across the whole of the KSL are still unclear, as well as M.K.

  • Rameshwaram, the Anchor of Indian Renaissance - 11
    Rameshwaram, The Anchor of Indian Renaissance - 11 By Shri. Narendra Joshi Where life is a pilgrimage, yatra, to know the infinite An old person, in his eighties, staying close to me in Mumbai rang bell of my home on a day and said, ‘I have brought prasad of Shegaon.’ (A holy place in interior Maharashtra) I took it with lot of gratitude and asked ‘Kaka (Uncle) when did you visit? and how? By train or bus?’ For I knew that both journeys are tough, especially at old age. To my utter astonishment he said, ‘I went barefoot, on yatra, with a group.’ So that means a new pilgrimage started, a new route, a new yatra started for the saint of Shegaon. People are not bothering whether it is said in old scriptures or not. They have that need, the feeling that they should go on a new route as well. Already many are going to Shirdi, Amarnath, Chardham, Kashi-Rameshwaram, Pandharpur, Shabarimalay, Kamakhya, and several other places in literally nooks and corners of the land of gods, India. Following piece of information was found to quench my query to some extent: ‘The journey itself is as important as the destination, and the hardships of travel serve as an act of devotion in them. Visiting a sacred place is believed by the pilgrim to purify the self and bring one closer to the divine. In present times, yatras are highly organised affairs, with specialised tourism companies catering to the need of yatris. State governments are sometimes involved in the organisation of annual yatras, stipulating numbers, registering yatris, and regulating yatri traffic.
