K. Puram, New Delhi-110066 FOREWORD Salinity is a significant challenge and poses risks to sustainable development of Coastal regions of India. If left unmanaged, salinity has serious implications for water quality, biodiversity, agricultural productivity, supply of water for critical human needs and industry and the longevity of infrastructure. The Coastal Salinity has become a persistent problem due to ingress of the sea water inland. This is the most significant environmental and economical challenge and needs immediate attention. The coastal areas are more susceptible as these are pockets of development in the country. Most of the trade happens in the coastal areas which lead to extensive migration in the coastal areas. This led to the depletion of the coastal fresh water resources. Digging more and more deeper wells has led to the ingress of sea water into the fresh water aquifers turning them saline. The rainfall patterns, water resources, geology/hydro-geology vary from region to region along the coastal belt.

Many members of this community shared a history of migration into Gujarat from the southern Arabian Peninsula, north Africa, Iran, Central Asia and the neighboring territories of the Indian subcontinent. I analyze two key aspects related to the making of a community of ii learned Muslim men in the fifteenth century - the production of a variety of texts in Persian and Arabic by learned Muslims and the construction of tomb shrines sponsored by the sultans of Gujarat.

  • Resident Mobility Analysis Based on Mobile-Phone Billing Data
    Available online at www.sciencedirect.com ScienceDirect Procedia - Social and Behavioral Sciences 96 ( 2013 ) 2032 – 2041 13th COTA International Conference of Transportation Professionals (CICTP 2013) Resident Mobility Analysis Based on Mobile-Phone Billing Data Rao Zonghaoa, Yang Dongyuana*, Duan Zhengyua aKey Laboratory of Road and Traffic Engineering of the Ministry of Education, Tongji University, P.O.Box 201804, Shanghai,China Abstract Many researches on resident mobility came from traditional data collection methods such as artificial or telephone surveys, but those approaches are difficult to update and the results are limited to a certain point in time. In the past few years, some innovative approaches have sought to use mobile devices to collect spatiotemporal data. In this paper we analyze spatial- temporal characteristics of resident mobility in the city of Shenzhen, using a data set captures for a seven-day period of more than one million anonymous mobile-phone users. In addition, we propose a method of recognizing the location of employment based on this kind of data and then plot an employment distribution map of Shenzhen. This method provides a new way to observe the employment distribution in a city. Understanding resident mobility from a city-wide perspective could provide researchers with convenience to forecast the traffic demand and take measures to traffic management, and could also lead to more informed decision making in both city planning and mass transit planning. ©© 20132013 The Authors.

Country Scene India is situated between 8 degrees 4'and 37 degrees 6' North latitude and 68 degrees 7' and 97 degrees 25' East longitude.lt covers an area of 328,7780Sq.Km..The highest mountain range the Himalayas forms the northern boundary with the highest peak having an altitude of about 7190 meters.Naturally therefore,the rainfall and temperatures are extremely variable;all the diverse climates of the world are represented.

The Great Indian Bustard is a bird of open land and In order to develop effective conservation strategies was observed using the grasslands habitat (73%), followed by areas for the long term survival of GIB, it is important to covered with Prosopis (11%). In the grasslands, the communities know its detailed habitat requirements. Determination dominated with Cymbopogon martinii were utilized the highest, while those dominated by Aristida adenemsoidis were least utilized. of various habitats and their utility by the species was As Cymbopogon martinii is non-palatable, we infer that it does not carried out to understand whether the grassland is attract livestock and herdsmen resulting in minimum movement and sufficient enough for detailed management planning.
