Study of Water Quality of Swarnrekha River, Ranchi, Jharkhand, India
AEGAEUM JOURNAL ISSN NO: 0776-3808 Study of water quality of Swarnrekha River, Ranchi, Jharkhand, India Suresh Kumar 1, Sujata kumari 2 1. Dr. Shyama Prasad Mukherjee University, Ranchi, Jharkhand, India 2. Ranchi University, Ranchi, Jharkhand, India Corresponding Author: [email protected] Abstract The name of river “Swarnrekha” is given after in the ancient period due to the occurrence of “gold streaks” in the river water or river sediments. The river originated from a “seepage cum underground well”, locally called “Ranichuan” at the Nagari village of the Ranchi district. It is the first river which originates from seepage well locally called “Chuan” basically a great seepage well having a catchment area. According to Hindu Mythology, it is said that this Ranichuan was carved by the lord Rama by his arrow while Sita, his wife, was feeling thirsty during the period of Ramayana. In this way, we say that the river is basically originated from the seepage water or ground water. It travels towards the south east of Ranchi to East Singhbhum to Sarikhela and finally confluence with Damodar River at cretina mouth of the river. Previously, it was very pure form of drinkable water and day by day its quality deteriorated due to the anthropogenic activities and ultimately whole stretches of the river turned into garbage field and most polluted water streams. So, now we can say the river turned from gold streak to garbage streak and not suitable for the human beings without treatment. Physical, Chemical and microbial properties of the river water from point of origin to the lower chutia is deterioted such as water is very clean at the site of origin and became gradually hazy and dirt as it crosses through the habitants or settlements. -
CHALLENGES in EFFICIENT WATER MANAGEMENT in DAMODAR RIVER VALLEY - ROLE of DVC 1 2 Dipankar Chaudhuri ; Satyabrata Banerjee
CHALLENGES IN EFFICIENT WATER MANAGEMENT IN DAMODAR RIVER VALLEY - ROLE OF DVC 1 2 Dipankar Chaudhuri ; Satyabrata Banerjee Abstract The Damodar River Valley has an extensive history of developmental and planning activities since 1863. DVC was formed in the year 1948 by the act of Parliament to carry out the responsibilities for monitoring and developing this large watershed in an integrated manner. It is well aware that all the projects, planned originally could not be implemented till date by the DVC and the participatory states. Again, silt depositions in the existing reservoirs and channels due to erosions at the upper valley have reduced their respective storage and flowing capacities remarkably. On the other hand, demand of water has been increased many folds within the valley due to growth of industries, population etc. With passing of time, socio- economic and political condition of the valley has also changed a lot. So, considering the different constraints, DVC is trying to manage all its statutory obligations with its limitations. Performances of the operations in the different fields of activities like flood moderation, irrigation, municipal and irrigation water supply, Hydropower etc. have been studied elaborately in this article. Lots of new commendable initiatives to restore the lost-capacities and to increase the storage facilities have also been discussed. A Master Plan of the ecofriendly sustainable developmental activities of the valley in the different projected scenarios has already been prepared by DVC which has also been described in brief. Some scopes have been identified to take up a few new small Hydro schemes at different locations in the upper valley. -

Damodar : A River Valley of Sorrow in Jharkhand state of India The Damodar is an inter-state river in the state of Jharkhand in India. In general rivers are feminine but Damodar is an exception. Like other two rivers -The Sonebhadra and The Brahmaputra Damodar is also categorised as a Masculine River. It emerges from the roots of an old tree, know as Pakar tree in local dialect, of extremists infested Boda Hills at "Kuru" Block of "Lohardaga " District in Jharkhand and merges into River "Bhagirathi " after traversing a total length of 541 Kms of which 258 Kms lies in the Jharkhand and the rest in West Bengal province. The total catchments area of the Damodar river system is 22,528 Sq Kms of which 16,934 Sq Kms (76 percent) is in the state of Jharkhand. The average yield of the Damodar River basin is 12.20 and its total surface flow in Jharkhand is estimated to be 5.80 Lham at 75 percent dependability as reported by the Irrigation Commission, Govt. of India 1972. Tributaries :- Its important tributaries are Barakar, Konar Bokaro and Gowai. The "barakar river " is its main tributary running almost parallel to it and joins it at 258 Kms near panchet at the border of Jharkhand and west Bengal where as its another left bank tributary "river Konar " merges into it at 180 kms from its origin near Bermo in Bokaro district of Jharkhand. The Bokaro and Konar rivers rise very near to each other on the Hazaribagh plateau and the two together meet meet before they finally outfall into Damodar at above 5 Kms further downstream. -

A Less Resourced Language Spoken in the State of Jharkhand, India
Dialectologia 25 (2020), 25-43. ISSN: 2013-2247 Received 21 September 2018. Accepted 21 November 2018. DESIGNING A LINGUISTIC PROFILE OF KHORTHA: A LESS RESOURCED LANGUAGE SPOKEN IN THE STATE OF JHARKHAND, INDIA Atul AMAN1, Niladri Sekhar DASH1 & Jayashree CHAKRABORTY2 Linguistic Research Unit, Indian Statistical Institute, Kolkata1** Dept. of HSS, Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur2 ** [email protected] / [email protected] / [email protected] Abstract This paper describes the linguistic outline of Khortha language, which is spoken in the state of Jharkhand, India. Khortha is the second most spoken language after Hindi in the state of Jharkhand, with approximately 80 million speakers (As per the Govt. of India, census reports 2011). The paucity of the language resources in Khortha played a vital role in motivating us for the present work. The methodology adopted for the present study comprises linguistic field surveys (Dash & Aman 2015) and reviews on the earlier literature of Khortha. The current status and demographic profile of Khortha suggest its usage as a link language among the other indigenous language communities (i.e. Munda, Bedia, Kurmali, etc.) as well. The scope (usage) of the Khortha language within the various domains (i.e. administration, education, mass media, social divisions and religion, judiciary and interpersonal communication), as discussed in the paper, gives a clear idea of its usage and linguistic identity. This paper can be a helpful resource for the researchers in order to portray the current linguistic status of the language. Keywords Khortha, language resources, earlier literature, demographic profile, linguistic identity ** Linguistic Research Unit, Indian Statistical Institute, 203, B.T Road, Kolkata, 700108, West Bengal, India. -

Need for Integrated River Basin Management in the Context of West Bengal Floodplains
Journal of Management & Public Policy, Vol. 2, No. 1 December 2010 Need for Integrated River Basin Management in the Context of West Bengal Floodplains Sujit Choudhury *, Girija Sankar Chattopadhyay ** & Deepankar Chakrabarti *** Abstract Integrated river basin management is a very important issue across the globe for water conservation and sustainable development. The rivers in India are very critical for the development of the country for meeting the water requirement and maintaining the ecological balance. West Bengal, a state having large numbers of rivers, is facing problems associated with the vast floodplains of these rivers. During the last fifty years various riparian systems and their parts in West Bengal are getting affected by different developmental activities. The river floodplains are the worst effected parts in West Bengal with rapid changes of land use characters of younger and older floodplain areas. For meeting the water demand and flood control purpose number of structural measures like large dams and reservoirs are built on these rivers. This has reduced the periodic floods in downstream areas and provides irrigation in the fertile floodplain areas. But these are leading to the rapid changes of the land use characters of the floodplains of West Bengal. These measures and water withdrawal in different rivers of Bengal results in reduction of flow amplitude, increase in base flow variation, alteration in temperature regime and decline of mass transport of materials. With this the overall connectivity between upstream and downstream reaches are compromised. This has a detrimental effect on biodiversity and ecological processes. Sophisticated studies of the dynamic interrelationships among topographic, hydraulic, hydrologic, agricultural, and economic factors are necessary for immediate impact assessment.
