The global warming and related changes in the climate pattern have been felt strongly during the last decade with the Chennai floods in Dec 2015, coastal erosion near Swargadwar, Puri in August 2016, and Kerala deluge of August 2018. The Government of India's laws for environmental protection of the coastal area under the Environment (Protection) Act, has been in existence since 1986 followed by the Coastal Regulation Zone (CRZ) by the Government of India in 1991. The CRZ Notification does not permit construction along the coastal stretches of seas, bays, estuaries, creeks, rivers and backwaters which are influenced by tidal action (in the landward side) up to 500 m from the high tide line (HTL) and also imposes several restrictions on setting up and expansion of industries. There were varying responses about the restrictions, especially from the tourism sector as well as counter reactions from environmentalist and earth scientists. The suggestion made by the author is significant. Geo-environmental Mapping is expected to facilitate systematic monitoring of changing dynamics of the terrain. But at the same time, it is imperative to work on corrective measures to check sea level rise. Beaches are the most unstable land forms and beach erosion is part of the coastal processes. It has been happening through all the times. The conflict arises when it is confronted with developmental programmes. When beach nourishment is done it is seen that the size of the sand introduced in the sediment-starved beach matches the existing texture of the sand grains. If not, the hydrodynamics of the beach gets disturbed. If the change in the size of the sand grain can change the ecological balance, how can one imagine hard engineering structures to tame the mighty Poseidon’s arena? In this respect the approach of the Water Resources Secretary to Government of Odisha to check the erosion in Puri through natural process and avoid constructing any structure on the beach seems a wise approach. The other paper on urban geology of Bhubaneswar has also raised very significant observations on current issues. Housing schemes near Koradkanta and Kesara are located on palaeo-channel and partly on the agricultural land. The possibility of future revival of the channel is a potential threat to the life and properties of the settlement, besides loss of some agricultural land. We must pay heed to the warning bells that have been sounded through the water logging in Nayapalli area, due to heavy rainfall on 30 June 2018. The water logging was caused due to indiscriminate mushrooming of concrete jungle, ignoring the geomorphological features and drainage needs of the surface run-off. However, with greeneries on the western highland, a major source of water on the east and sandstone plateau in the middle, Bhubaneswar has all the necessary parameters of a green city, provided a geoscientific wisdom prevails. We cannot agree more with the author that urban agglomeration in the western part of the upland is desirable, with a cautious planning though to keep off the drainage even remotely connected, rather than encouraging settlement in the flood plains on the eastern fringe of the city, at the cost of valuable agricultural land, besides consequential water logging. Let these ideas reach the ground level and not remain confined to the pages of geology books and freeze in the library. Dr. B. M. Faruque Editor SGAT Bulletin Vol. 19, No. 1, June & December 2018 pp 1 - 14 COASTAL ZONE MANAGEMENT IN EASTERN INDIA Parthasarathi Chakrabarti Chief Scientist (Retd.) Department of Science and Technology, Government of West Bengal & Former Geologist, Geological Survey of India ABSTRACT The coastal tract, in the eastern part of India covering West Bengal and Odisha, is characterized by the presence of four (4) coastal environs, viz. Hooghly Estuary, Balasore-Contai Coastal plain, Baitarani- Brahmani-Mahanadi Compound Delta and Chilika Lagoon respectively. The coastal zone management aims to maintain rational balance between the natural eco-system/ biodiversity and impact of anthropogenic interventions in the coastal environment. Therefore, a good knowledge about the biophysical processes and anthropic influences present in the coastal belt is essential for identifying the resulting effects of the key aspects in different sectors of the coast line. In this respect, the ‘Geo-environmental Mapping’ supported with ‘Spatial Information Technology’ plays facilitator role to unravel the impact of anthropic developments on bio-physical environment through space and time identifying the factual and functional parameters. frame guidelines for maintaining judicious balance between environment and ‘human capital and mobility’ through technological adjustment and social adaptations. On the subject matter, an elaborate discussion is made in this paper with examples of case histories. Key words: Coastal zone management, Geo-environmental mapping, Spatial Information Technology. INTRODUCTION In response to that, a good understanding Coastal zone being the interface between land between ever changeable landform features and and sea is the most dynamic zone and constantly related land use/ land cover (i.e. soil-water- shaped by varied interactions of marine (both vegetation interrelationships) is very essential to tides and waves), fluvial and aeolian processes. maintain the natural eco-system, to the extent The geomorphic set up of the coastal stretch possible, of the coastal zone as well as marine largely depends on the interplay between clastic environments, especially when the nature’s own sediments introduced from one direction by the built system is largely modified by multifarious rivers of variable magnitude and the strength of anthropogenic activities starting from the wave/ tide energy (according to the controlling fluvial discharge, reclamation of bathymetric configuration/ geological coastal low lands and wet lands, destruction of characteristics of the Continental Self zone) mangrove forests, coral reefs etc. and discharge which acts in opposite direction.

Professor, Department of Chemistry,GITA, Bhubaneswar(India) 2Professor, Department of Chemistry, IGIT, Sarang(India) 3Lecturer in Chemistry, EATM, Bhubaneswar (India) ABSTRACT With rapid growth of population, Industrial activities and deforestation, the water quality of surrounding rivers in Bhubaneswar, the capital of Odisha is gradually deteriorating. This city has become a environmental sensitive zone in the state of Odisha in India. Drinking water is supplied from surrounding rivers of Bhubaneswar like Kuakhai, Daya and Mahanadi. This supplied water from surrounding rivers becomes polluted when toxic substances, oxidized organics, inorganic, suspended solids, human, animal and plant pathogens enter into the water bodies. The treatment of surface water and waste water is necessary in order to maintain its quality standards for drinking water purposes. The objective of water treatment is to produce an adequate and continuous supply of water that is chemically, bacteriological free and aesthetically pleasing. Water samples from six different locations were collected in every month of pre mansoon, mansoon and post mansoon periods. Standard procedures were adopted to analyze and to calculate the different physic-chemical parameters of surface water samples using ISI standard procedure. Keywords: Surface Water Pollution; Physico-Chemical Parameter; Seasonal Variation; Mahanadi, Daya and Kuakhai Rivers. I INTRODUCTION Water plays a great role for the existence of human beings and all living organisms.

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract: Quantitative and qualitative variations in microscopic plant organic matter assemblages and its preservation state in deltaic channel deposits of Mahanadi River was correlated with the depositional environment in the ecosystem in order to prepare a modern analogue for use in palaeoenvironment studies. For this, palynological and palynofacies study was carried out in 57 surface sediment samples from Birupa river System, Kathjodi-Debi River system and Kuakhai River System constituting Upper, Middle and Lower Deltaic part of Mahanadi river. The apex of the delta shows dominance of Spirogyra algae indicating high nutrient, low energy shallow ecosystem during most of the year and recharged only during monsoons. The depositional environment is anoxic to dysoxic in the central and south-eastern part of the Middle Deltaic Plain (MDP) and Lower Deltaic Plain (LDP) indicated by high percentage of nearby palynomorphs, Particulate Organic Matter (POM) and algal or fungal spores. The northern part of the delta show high POM preservation only in the estuarine area in LDP but high Amorphous Organic Matter (MOA) in MDP.

    Sixth Semester Geography Notes (Unit-I) by Dr Rafiq Ahmad Hajam (Deptt. of Geography GDC Boys Anantnag) Cell No. 9797127509 GEOGRAPHY OF INDIA The word geography was coined by Eratosthenes, a Greek philosopher and mathematician, in 3rd century B.C. For his contribution in the discipline, he is regarded as the father of Geography. Location: India as a country, a part of earth‟s surface, is located in the Northern-Eastern Hemispheres between 80 4 N and 370 6 N latitudes and 680 7 E and 970 25 E longitudes. If the islands are taken into consideration, the southern extent goes up to 60 45 N. In India, Tropic of Cancer (230 30 N latitude) passes through eight states namely (from west to east) Gujarat, Rajasthan, MP, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, West Bengal, Tripura and Mizoram. Time: the 820 30E longitude is taken as the Indian Standard Time meridian as it passes through middle (Allahabad) of the country. It is equal to 5 hours and 30 minutes ahead of GMT. Same longitude is used by Nepal and Sri Lanka. Size and Shape: India is the 7th largest country in the world with an area of 3287263 sq. km (32.87 lakh sq. km=3.287 million sq. km), after Russia, Canada, China, USA, Brazil and Australia. It constitutes 0.64% of the total geographical area of the world and 2.4% of the total land surface area of the world. The area of India is 20 times that of Britain and almost equal to the area of Europe excluding Russia. Rajasthan (342000 sq.

Mishra and Lalu Das In any social science research, it is hardly possible to conceptualize and perceive the data and interpret the data more accurately until and unless a clear understanding of the characteristics in the area and attitude or behavior of people is at commend of the interpreter who intends to unveil an understanding of the implications and behavioral complexes of the individuals who live in the area under reference and from a representative part of the larger community. The socio demographic background of the local people in a rural setting has been critically administered in this chapter. A research setting is a surrounding in which inputs and elements of research are contextually imbibed, interactive and mutually contributive to the system performance. Research setting is immensely important in the sense because it is characterizing and influencing the interplays of different factors and components. Thus, a study on Perception of Farmer about the issues of Persuasive certainly demands a local unique with natural set up, demography, crop ecology, institutional set up and other socio cultural Social Ecology, Climate Change and, The Coastal Ecosystem ISBN: 978-93-85822-01-8 149 Anshuman Jena, S K Acharya, G.C.

    UNIT – I PHYSIOGRAPHIC DIVISIONS OF INDIA Geological Structure 1. THE ARCHAEAN FORMATIONS (PRE-CAMBRIAN) The Archaean Era is also known as the Precambrian Period. The division of geologic time scale from the formation of the Earth (about 4.6 billion years ago) to the beginning of the Cambrian Period of the Paleozoic Era (about 570 million years ago}. The Precambrian time constitutes about 86.7% of the Earth's history. The term 'Archaean', introduced by J.D. Dana in 1782, refers to the oldest rocks of the Earth's crust. The oldest known rocks of the Earth, the evolutionary atmosphere, the first chemosynthesis, the first photosynthesis, the life-supporting atmosphere and the Earth's modem atmosphere, were developed during the Precambrian Era (Archaean and Protozoic). Rocks of the Archaean System are devoid of any form of life. The Archaean rocks are all azoic or non fossiliferous. They are thoroughly crystalline, extremely contorted and faulted, and practically devoid of any sediment. They are largely intruded by plutonic intrusions and generally have a well-defined foliated structure. These rocks are known as the basement complex or fundamental gneisses. Cover two-thirds of Peninsular India. In the Peninsular region, the Archaean rocks are known to be of three well-defined types: a) The Bengal Gneiss occurs in the Eastern Ghats, Orissa (known as Khodoliles after Khond tribes in Koraput and Bolangir districts), stretching over Manbhum and Hazaribagh districts of Jharkhand, Nellore district of Andhra Pradesh and Salem district of Tamil Nadu. Occur in the Son Valley, Meghalaya Plateau and Mikir HiUs. Thinly foliated.
