Vamsadhara River Water Dispute
Vamsadhara River Water Dispute drishtiias.com/printpdf/vamsadhara-river-water-dispute Why in News The Chief Ministers of Andhra Pradesh and Odisha will hold talks to clear out all differences with regard to the sharing of Vamsadhara river waters. Andhra Pradesh wants to build the Neradi bridge across the river which will be possible only after Odisha’s consent. Key Points Andhra Pradesh also wants to complete the inter-linking of its Nagavali river with the Vamsadhara and expand the Madduvalasa Reservoir project soon. Madduvalasa Project is a Medium Irrigation Project with a reservoir across Suvarnamukhi river, a tributary of Nagavali river. Agriculture is the only assured economic activity for the people living in the backward region and in the absence of rapid industrialisation, there is a need to concentrate on irrigation projects to make agriculture a viable activity. Background: In February 2006, Odisha sent a complaint to the Central Government under Section 3 of the Inter-State River Water Disputes (ISRWD) Act, 1956 regarding its water disputes with Andhra Pradesh pertaining to Inter-State River Vamsadhara. It demanded for the constitution of an Inter-State Water Disputes Tribunal for adjudication. Grievances of Orissa: Adverse effect of undertaking the construction of a canal (called a flood flow canal at Katragada, Andhra Pradesh) taking off from the river Vamsadhara. The flood flow canal would result in drying up the existing river bed and consequent shifting of the river affecting the groundwater table. Failure of Andhra Pradesh to implement the terms of the inter-state agreement relating to use, distribution and control of waters of vamsadhara and its valley. -
Rise and Fall of Buddhism on Daya Basin
Orissa Review * December - 2007 Rise and Fall of Buddhism on Daya Basin Dr. Saroj Kumar Panda River Daya which originates from the river teachers used to impart here both religious and Kuakhai at Balakati near Hirapur (famous for secular instructions to people. These teachers Chausathi Yogini temple) has a south western were greatly loved and respected by the simple course of about 45 miles. It flows through Uttara, country folk for the blessed hopes they gave to Dhauli, Kakudia, Aragarh, Beguniapara, their afflicted hearts. In course of time some of Pandiakera, Balabhadrapur and finally discharges these monasteries grew up into famous university into Chilika lake.1 On its course, Daya is joined centres. As torch bearer of the Buddhist culture by the Bhargavi river, the Gangua Nalla, the these centres attracted pupils and scholars from Malaguni river, the Luna river and many smaller far and wide.3 drainages from Khurda sub-division.2 Two The development of Mahayan Buddhism important Buddhist vestige, whose traces are in Orissa may be studied through the historical found today on the Daya basin is highlighted in growth of these monastic institutions and through this paper. the activities of the sages and philosophers of this Buddhism in Orissa flourished during the religion. The Nagarjuni Konda inscription early Christian era independent of the Kusan engraved during 14th year of the Mahariputa patronage. In fact, till the coming of the Bhaumakar Virapurusadatta, testifies to the development of dynasty in the 8th century A.D., notable Buddhist some Hinayanic strongholds at Tosali, Palura, rulers were not known to have thrived here more Hirumu, Papila and Puspagiri by 3rd century A.D. -
Application of Isotope Techniques to Xa9848334 Investigate Groundwater Pollution in India
APPLICATION OF ISOTOPE TECHNIQUES TO XA9848334 INVESTIGATE GROUNDWATER POLLUTION IN INDIA K. SHIVANNA, S.V. NAVADA, K.M. KULKARNI, U.K. SINHA, S. SHARMA Isotope Division, Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, Mumbai, India Abstract -Environmental isotopes (2H, 18O, 34S, 3H, and I4C ) techniques have been used along with hydrogeology and hydrochemistry to investigate:(a), the source of salinity and origin of sulphate in groundwaters of coastal Orissa, Orissa State, India and (b) to study the source of salinity in deep saline groundwaters of charnockite terrain at Kokkilimedu, South of Chennai, India. In the first case, as a part of a large drinking water supply project, thousands of hand pumps were installed from 1985. Many of them became quickly unacceptable for potable supply due to salinity, increased iron and sulphate contents of the groundwater. In this alluvial, multiaquifer system, fresh, brackish and saline groundwaters occur in a rather complicated fashion. The conditions change from phreatic to confined flowing type with increasing depth. The results of the isotope geochemical investigation indicate that the shallow groundwater(depth;<50m) is fresh and modern. Groundwater salinity in intermediate aquifer (50 - 100m) is due to the Flandrian transgression during Holocene period. Fresh and modern deep groundwater forms a well developed aquifer which receives recharge through weathered basement rock. The saline groundwater found below the fresh deep aquifer have marine water entrapped during late Pleistocene. The source of high sulphate in the groundwater is of marine origin. In the second case, under the host rock characterization programme, the charnockite rock formation at Kokkilimedu, Kalpakkam was evaluated to assess its suitability as host medium for location of a geological repository for high level radioactive waste. -
