  • Estimation of Stream Hydraulic Parameters and Sediment Load Of
    J. Himalayan Ecol. Sustain. Dev. Vol. 15 (2020) ISSN 0973-7502 Estimation of stream hydraulic parameters and suspended sediment load of River Neola in the foothills of the Panchachuli Glacier during the ablation period Kuldeep Singh Rautela1, Jagdish Chandra Kuniyal1*, Nidhi Kanwar1, Ajay Singh Bhoj1 1G.B. Pant National Institute of Himalayan Environment, Kosi-Katarmal, Pin 263 643, Almora, Uttarakhand, India. *Corresponding author’s email: [email protected] ABSTRACT At a given cross-section, hydraulic parameters such as depth and velocity of a stream vary with discharge as a single power function. From the development and management perspective of the streams, the estimation of these parameters is very important for canal designing, irrigation works, and hydropower production, etc. Thus, in this context a field study from June to October 2018 was carried out at the outlet of the Panchachuli (Neola) catchment. In view of a limited number of studies, the present study has been conducted in the Himalayan glacier-fed Himalayan streams. The research related to the inclusion of these hydraulic characteristics of streams in the planning process is very rare. The discharge and other hydraulic parameters of the stream such as wetted width, average area, perimeter, hydraulic radius, hydraulic mean depth, and bed slope were estimated to understand the hydraulic geometry of the stream. The stream showed a subcritical state of flow with the Froude no, mean velocity, discharge, and sediment load 0.47, 1 m/s, 8.33 cu.m/s and 1312 t/day, respectively. The average Manning's coefficient varied from 0.31 to 0.65.

  • (ECO-TOURISM) in UTTARAKHAND Analysis and Recommendations
    RURAL DEVELOPMENT AND MIGRATION COMMISSION UTTARAKHAND, PAURI NATURE BASED TOURISM (ECO-TOURISM) IN UTTARAKHAND Analysis and recommendations SEPTEMBER 2018 PREFACE Uttarakhand, located in the western Himalayan region, is largely mountainous with bulk of its population living in the rural areas. Migration of people from rural to semi-urban or urban areas particularly from the hill districts is a major cause for concern, as it results in depopulated or partially depopulated villages; and a dwindling primary sector (agriculture). Out migration from the rural areas of the state is posing multiple challenges causing economic disparities; declining agriculture; low rural incomes and a stressed rural economy. It is in this background that the Uttarakhand government decided to set up a commission to assess the quantum and extent of out migration from different rural areas of the state; evolve a vision for the focused development of the rural areas, that would help in mitigating out-migration and promote welfare and prosperity of the rural population; advise the government on multi-sectoral development at the grassroots level which would aggregate at the district and state levels; submit recommendations on those sections of the population of the state that is at risk of not adequately benefitting from economic progress and to recommend and monitor focused initiatives in sectors that would help in multi-sectoral development of rural areas and thus help in mitigating the problem of out-migration. The commission chaired by the Chief Minister of the state , presented its first report to the government in the first half of 2018 in which various aspects of out migration have been brought out on the basis of a detailed ground level survey and detailed consultations with various stakeholders.
