  • Conceptual Model for the Vulnerability Assessment of Springs in the Indian Himalayas
    climate Article Conceptual Model for the Vulnerability Assessment of Springs in the Indian Himalayas Denzil Daniel 1 , Aavudai Anandhi 2 and Sumit Sen 1,3,* 1 Centre of Excellence in Disaster Mitigation and Management, Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee, Roorkee 247667, India; [email protected] 2 Biological Systems Engineering Program, College of Agriculture and Food Sciences, Florida A&M University, Tallahassee, FL 32307, USA; [email protected] 3 Department of Hydrology, Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee, Roorkee 247667, India * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +91-1332-284754 Abstract: The Indian Himalayan Region is home to nearly 50 million people, more than 50% of whom are dependent on springs for their sustenance. Sustainable management of the nearly 3 million springs in the region requires a framework to identify the springs most vulnerable to change agents which can be biophysical or socio-economic, internal or external. In this study, we conceptualize vulnerability in the Indian Himalayan springs. By way of a systematic review of the published literature and synthesis of research findings, a scheme of identifying and quantifying these change agents (stressors) is presented. The stressors are then causally linked to the characteristics of the springs using indicators, and the resulting impact and responses are discussed. These components, viz., stressors, state, impact, and response, and the linkages are used in the conceptual framework to assess the vulnerability of springs. A case study adopting the proposed conceptual model is discussed Citation: Daniel, D.; Anandhi, A.; for Mathamali spring in the Western Himalayas. The conceptual model encourages quantification Sen, S.

  • THE AGONISING COST of HAM-HANDED DEVELOPMENT Relevant For: Environment | Topic: Disaster and Disaster Management
    Source : www.thehindu.com Date : 2021-02-12 THE AGONISING COST OF HAM-HANDED DEVELOPMENT Relevant for: Environment | Topic: Disaster and disaster management Following flash floods at Chamoli in Uttarakhand, defence personnel are looking for missing persons in a mélange of rock, mud, water, and debris, airlifting rations to inaccessible villages, and repairing bridges and telecommunication networks. Social scientists are assessing the disaster’s impact on the region’s economy. Scientists and policy makers are debating whether climate change or unchecked development in an ecologically fragile region was primarily responsible for the disaster and the death toll. News reports of ancient temples having been swept away in the Alakananda’s raging waters are bringing back traumatic memories of the Kedarnath floods in 2013. All these developments show the profound significance attached to this region and they prompt a historian to ask two fundamental and interrelated questions: How did the Uttarakhand Himalayas emerge as a deva bhumi and how did it develop into a focus of Hindu pilgrimage? A study of the archaeological record and inscriptional evidence suggests that many and varied agents and processes played important roles in gradually transforming this borderland into a sacred landscape. Artefacts found in the Himalayan foothills that are datable to the period extending from 300 BCE and 600 CE include an Ashokan rock edict, brick altars for conducting ashvamedha yagnas, coin hoards, and sculptures. Scientist warns of water build-up near Uttarakhand disaster zone The forms of these artefacts and their find-spots indicate deepening contact between communities living in the Gangetic plains and in the foothills.
