  • Impact of Climatic Change on Agro-Ecological Zones of the Suru-Zanskar Valley, Ladakh (Jammu and Kashmir), India
    Journal of Ecology and the Natural Environment Vol. 3(13), pp. 424-440, 12 November, 2011 Available online at http://www.academicjournals.org/JENE ISSN 2006 - 9847©2011 Academic Journals Full Length Research Paper Impact of climatic change on agro-ecological zones of the Suru-Zanskar valley, Ladakh (Jammu and Kashmir), India R. K. Raina and M. N. Koul* Department of Geography, University of Jammu, India. Accepted 29 September, 2011 An attempt was made to divide the Suru-Zanskar Valley of Ladakh division into agro-ecological zones in order to have an understanding of the cropping system that may be suitably adopted in such a high altitude region. For delineation of the Suru-Zanskar valley into agro-ecological zones bio-physical attributes of land such as elevation, climate, moisture adequacy index, soil texture, soil temperature, soil water holding capacity, slope, vegetation and agricultural productivity have been taken into consideration. The agricultural productivity of the valley has been worked out according to Bhatia’s (1967) productivity method and moisture adequacy index has been estimated on the basis of Subrmmanyam’s (1963) model. The land use zone map has been superimposed on moisture adequacy index, soil texture and soil temperature, soil water holding capacity, slope, vegetation and agricultural productivity zones to carve out different agro-ecological boundaries. The five agro-ecological zones were obtained. Key words: Agro-ecology, Suru-Zanskar, climatic water balance, moisture index. INTRODUCTION Mountain ecosystems of the world in general and India in degree of biodiversity in the mountains. particular face a grim reality of geopolitical, biophysical Inaccessibility, fragility, diversity, niche and human and socio economic marginality.

  • Erai & Zarpat River Action Plan
    ERAI & ZARPAT RIVER ACTION PLAN INTRODUCTION: Erai River is a main tributary of Wardha River in Chandrapur District and Zarpat River is a tributary of Erai River. Total length of Erai River from origin to meeting point at Wardha River is 25 km approx. and length of Zarpat River from its origin to confluence point with Erai River is 15 km approx. Zarpat river flows between the dense populations of Chandrapur City that includes slum area. Zarpat River originated from the natural spring near Lohara village and meets into Erai River near Mana village. Erai River supplies water to Chandrapur city and M/s CSTPS, Chandrapur from Erai Dam and 30 % water supply of Chandrapur City is drawn from Erai River, Datala Road, intake belt. Chandrapur City lifts about 54 MLD water and M/s CSTPS lifts around 304 MLD water from Erai River. In peak summer, sometimes water level at Erai Dam reaches at dead level and water intake for industrial consumption has to restrict by District Authority to ensure water supply for drinking purpose. The water quality of Erai River and Zarpat River is deteriorated due to discharging of domestic sewage from rural and urban population in the vicinity of river basin. These two river become sewer carrying drains of Chandrapur city. ERAI RIVER Origin – Near Kasarbodi / khadsangi, Tal. Chimur, Dist. Chandrapur Total Length – Approx. 78 km (from origin to Erai Dam – 45 Km approx. & from Erai dam to confluence point to Wardha River at Village Hadasti - 33 km approx.) Depth – 3 meter to 8 meter ERAI & ZARPAT RIVER ACTION PLAN 1 Figure 1: Tree Diagram of Erai, Zarpat and Wardha River ERAI & ZARPAT RIVER ACTION PLAN 2 Figure 2: Map of Chandrapur city ERAI & ZARPAT RIVER ACTION PLAN 3 Figure 3: Erai River Dam (Water source of Chandrapur city and M/s CSTPS) The Erai River is having self-origination nearby Chimur and meets to Wardha River near Ballarpur.

Floods are the most devastating natural calamities by their nature since time immemorial. Flooding is mainly caused by over spilling of river banks Severity increases where there is obstruction like encroachment in water ways in urban areas etc. The present paper analysed flood management. The main objectives are (i) To describe the river system, Rainfall, forecasting system and affected areas, (ii) To identify the causes vulnerability, impacts, losses, strategies, controlling measures of floods affected areas. The paper discuss the river basin wise flood situations rainfall , forecasting systems sites cause , losses, risk reduction measures strategies and flood management of the study area. flood management, calamities, forecasting, river basin catchment, vulnerability, strategies.

  • Drainage Characteristics of Tectonically Active Areas in Wardha and Purna River Basin, Central India Using Satellite Data
    260 Journal of Geomatics Vol 11 No. 2 October 2017 Drainage characteristics of tectonically active areas in Wardha and Purna river basin, Central India using satellite data B. S. Manjare Department of Geology RTM Nagpur University, Nagpur (MS) India Email: [email protected] (Received: Mar 16, 2017; in final form: Sep 28, 2017) Abstract: The study area lies in the vicinity of north eastern part of the Salbardi fault which is one of the most important tectonic elements of the Son-Narmada-Tapti lineament trending in ENE-WSE direction. The drainage characteristics of the study area were investigated by using the IRS LISS III satellite data of 23.5 m spatial resolution and Shutlle Radar Topographic Mission (SRTM) Digital Elevation Models (DEMs). The course of Maru river is mostly controlled by the Salbardi fault and associated tectonic elements. The Maru river, which crosses the fault from north to south, exhibits two river terraces that rise and continue downstream, where the river flows on the downthrown block. The presence of dendritic to sub dendritic, rectangular and parallel drainage pattern in the study area shows the tectonic activity in the study area. Several parameters such as profile shape, gradient fluctuations and river grade and valley incision have been derived from longitudinal river profile. Keywords: Tectonics; Remote sensing; topographical profile; morphotectonic indices 1. Introduction information systems (GIS) and remotely sensed data could be more informative and results would be more Earth-observing satellites, airborne sensor systems, applicable to image interpretation (Ehler 1992; Horsby aerial and spatial data have almost the complete and Harris 1992; Saraf and Choudhury, 1998).
