Also Available at: 1- 2- 3- 4- Printed at:———————————————————————————————————————— ——————————————————————————————————————————— ii UTTARAKHAND : Need for a Comprehensive Eco-Strategy ■ Introductory Preface The present venture is an humble attempt by the editors of the work to make the entire region of Uttarakhand known to those interested in respect of all that one wants to know about it. Then only one can think in terms of its eco- development or establishing eco-development in the newly formed State. To evolve a strategy for achieving these objectives, one has to understand the geographical profile and historical perspective of the region, understand its milieu and ethos of its people as well, its cultural background, fairs and festivals, language, folk songs and dances, its resources, simple technologies for capacity building of women there, vocational education, entrepreneurship, problems and needs of the local population, health status of the people, movements launched by the people from time to time and scores of things to determine the right mode of development. Part ‘A’ of the book deals with Uttarakhand–ID, Part ‘B’ talks of various challenges before the emerging State of Uttarakhand, economic scenariao and viability and Part ‘C’ deals with searching a role model of intelligent industrialisation of the State, finding out the main resources and their utilisation for the development of the State and Administrative and Management problems as also the strategy and approach to realize the objectives for the State. The book also struggles in between against evolving processes of decentralization, making Panchayat Raj system in Uttarakhand effective and connecting human right to development in this new State for the first time. Moreover, the State with immense possibilities of utilizing its water resources for power and evolving relationship between its people and forests has also been depicted well. We thus hope our joint efforts shall prove fruitful for our readers. If it happens what else we should expect from our efforts! -RPD-VLD * * * Uttarakhand: Need for a Comprehensive Eco-Strategy has come into being with the help of a number of friends and wellwishers, While making the structure of the idea behind this work, I got many valuable suggestions from Vijay Laxmi Dhoundiyal which by and by enlarged the vision and made it firm and stable while inviting articles from the selected authors. The authors too, almost all of them came forward to help me with their articles. Hari Dev typed the MSS and my friend Suresh Nautiyal looked into the articles in both forms – MSS and TSS. At that time both Suresh Nautiyal and Hari Dev were working in the Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam. The convener of Saded, Mr. Vijay Pratap got interested in the book and said he would like to publish it. In the mean time ‘Simen puu’, through Vijay Pratap’s sincere endeavours, showed interest in the book and wanted to be co-publisher for this book. As a result, both VK and SP are the publishers. During the most important phase of re-editing, VLD came forward to assist me in everything needed in the process. Thanks to her assiduous and intelligent handling of the work, it could take the present form of the contents. In fact she was the sole force behind me and did a lot more than what I could do alone. I am rather indebted to her contribution for ever. In fact she is more than a Co-Editor of the book. I saw in her a vibrating personality embedded with several qualities of a good editor. Thus a very good friend of mine became an editing partner. Preceding this, Suresh Nautiyal had already made the way smooth and comfortable for us to tread upon. SN’s journalistic acumen and his quick grasp of things helped me in the past too. Finally, my brotherly friend Vijay Pratap should be praised for his onerous responsibility which resulted in presenting the book in the form you are having in your hands. My family members helped me remain in undisturbed state of mind, while involving myself in different precesses of this work. I am happy, the book is where it should have been now. -R.P.D. ■ UTTARAKHAND : Need for a Comprehensive Eco-Strategy iii BLANK iv UTTARAKHAND : Need for a Comprehensive Eco-Strategy ■ C O N T E N T S PAGE INTRODUCTORY PREFACE SECTION – A 1.

Springs occur where sloping ground and impermeable strata intersect with the ground water table. The water sources of such springs, in most cases are unconfined aquifers where the water flows under gravity. Spring water discharge fluctuations owe primarily due to rainfall pattern in the recharge area or more precisely stated, to variation in the amount of rainwater that is able to infiltrate the ground and recharge the ground water. Marked variation in the discharge following rainfall indicates rapid infiltration of rainwater and recharge of the groundwater in colluvial-related springs, and discharge curves show strongly periodic seasonal rhythm. Superimposed on these variations is a periodic (monthly) fluctuation resulting from occasional heavy rainfalls, generally in the rainy season.
