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.

  • Geomorphology and Evolution of the Modern Mahanadi Delta Using Remote Sensing Data
    International Journal of Science and Research (IJSR) ISSN (Online): 2319-7064 Index Copernicus Value (2013): 6.14 | Impact Factor (2014): 5.611 Geomorphology and Evolution of the Modern Mahanadi Delta Using Remote Sensing Data 1 2 3 K. Somanna , T. Somasekhara Reddy , M. Sambasiva Rao 1, 2, 3 Dept. of Geography, Sri Krishnadevaraya University, Anantapuramu, Andhra Pradesh, India Abstract: The Mahanadi delta covering an area of about 7,500km2 has been studied using aerial photographs on scale 1:31,680 and Geocoded data on scale 1:50,000 with a view to delineate the landforms and lineaments. Based on geomorphic process and agents the landforms are classified into fluvial, fluvio- marine and marine. The Mahanadi delta is dominated by fluvial processes. The delta is formed of a number of abandoned river courses. The landforms formed due to coastal processes are later disturbed by the fluvial processes. Based on disposition of old and abandoned river courses about 23 abandoned meander lobes are identified. Basing on disposition of ancient beach ridges three major strandlines/former delta fronts are recognized. The morphological growth of the modern Mahanadi delta has been described basing on disposition of abandoned meander lobes and ancient strandlines. There are about 20 macro lineaments which have directly or indirectly have affected the landforms and the growth of the delta. A few geomorphic highs are morpho-structures are identified by tonal contrast relief, shape, vegetation, meandering of former and present river courses. The rate of progradation of the modern Mahanadi delta is about 9.1km for one thousand years. The modern Mahanadi delta might have been formed during the Holocene period.

    International Journal of Geology, Earth & Environmental Sciences ISSN: 2277-2081 (Online) An Open Access, Online International Journal Available at http://www.cibtech.org/jgee.htm 2016 Vol. 6 (1) January-April, pp. 98-113/Sahoo et al. Research Article ENVIRONMENTAL FLOWS ALLOCATION IN TWO MAIN DISTRIBUTARIES OF MAHANADI RIVER *Sangitarani Sahoo1, Deepak Khare1, Satyapriya Behera1 and Prabhash K Mishra2 1Water Resources Development and Management, IIT Roorkee 2National Institute of Hydrology, Roorkee *Author for Correspondence ABSTRACT The environmental flows concept mainly recognizes, needs of fresh water system to maintain the ecological integrity and provide goods and services to society &dependent communities. In the Mahanadi river basin the environmental flow method was first introduced in Chilika Lagoon, downstream of Naraj Barrage, Odisha by World Bank Environment Department. In 2002 the EFA project was successed to integrate key water quality concern, particularly salinity within the lagoon, for functioning the lagoon ecosystem while it was not successed to influence in operation of the Barrage at Naraj. The river system attains zero and very low flows in low flow period due to construction of hydropower generating structures, water retaining structure and withdrawal of water by water users, which possesses a tremendous threat to the environment, ecology & aquatic life. Therefore, a need arises to regulate the reservoirs and barrages for releasing the adequate water in the river throughout the year. Thus, environmental flows assessment is done in Lower Mahanadi sub-basin and its two main distributaries for providing the Environmental Flow Requirements (EFRs), with a range of Low Flow Requirements (LFRs) and High Flow Requirements (HFRs) to be ensured at any circumstances to avoid any degradation of river ecosystem.

C.3 1 Integrated Coastal Zone Management Unit Berhampur, Odisha, India. 2 Department of Forest and Environment, Bhubaneswar, Odisha, India. 3 Wildlife Institute of India, Chandrabani, #18 Dehradun, Uttrakhanda, India. *Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract: Olive Ridleys sea turtle are known to nests both enmass and solitary in the south sand spit of River Devi, Odisha. After 1999 enmass nesting, only solitary activity is observed in this part of beach. This study was done to evaluate the nesting activity along Devi coast for period of four years, 2006-10 and hatchling successes of Olive Ridley solitary nests in one of the island where no human habitation is present was carried out from December 2008 to May 2010, in total 7642 numbers of nests was recorded within four years of which 5058 nest were from the main land beach and rest 2584 from island beach. A total of 309, nests were marked with a pole and monitored for hatchling successes. It was calculated, 94% of eggs were hatched successfully, and 91% of hatchling emerged out successfully. This study shows that nest located between 20 to 40 m distances from the high tide mark were more successful than the nest in other part of the beach. There was not much difference in the hatchling successes between the three periods of nesting (nesting, peak nesting, post nesting) and within years.

  • Mahanadi River Delta, East Coast of India : an Overview on Evolution and Dynamic Processes
    MAHANADI RIVER DELTA, EAST COAST OF INDIA : AN OVERVIEW ON EVOLUTION AND DYNAMIC PROCESSES Manmohan Mohanti Dept. of Geology, Utkal University, Bhubaneswar 751 004, India E-mail : [email protected] Manas Ranjan Swain Dept. of Geology, Nimapara College, Nimapara 752 106 Dist : - Puri, India INTRODUCTION In the land ocean interaction zone, river deltas are formed due to dynamic interaction of fluvial and marine agencies on the coastal margin. Delta building varies depending upon geologic, tectonic, geographic, climatic and environmental settings. Geometry of sediment bodies, sedimentary facies and dynamic processes vary in deltas found in different parts of the world. Major deltas in India occur on the Bay of Bengal coast on the eastern part. Mahanadi River delta is one of them. LOCATION The Mahanadi River delta plain covers 0.9 x 1042 km and lies between 850 40' : 860 45' E and 1900 40' : 20 35' N. The catchment area of the river covers 1.42 x 105 km2 . The climatic setting is tropical with hot and humid monsoonal climate. The sediment yield of the catchment is likely to be inorder of 200-400 tons/km2 (Meijerink, 1982-83). With an average annual rainfall of ca. 1572 mm, over 70% is precipitated during the southwest monsoon between Mid. June to Mid. October. After traversing a long distance of over 800 km the Mahanadi River starts building up its delta plain from Naraj where the undivided Mahanadi branches forming its distributary system (Fig.1) ramifying in the delta plain area. Devi River is its principal distributary. Satellite imageries (Figs.

    INDIA RIVER WEEK 2020 Is Sand Mining Killing Our Rivers? Extracting River Bed Materials Draft East Zone Report Ver. 01 Compiled by: Nachiket Kelkar, Ipsita Roy, Siddharth Agarwal, Ravi Chopra With generous support from South Asia Network on Dams, Rivers & People November 2020 Draft Not For Quotation Extracting River Bed Materials in the East Zone After water, sand is the most consumed natural resource in the world, with uses ranging from road and building construction to toothpastes.1 It is ironic therefore that the Government of India (GoI) has classified sand as a ‘minor mineral’. That unfortunate label – perhaps because at one time the supply was assumed to be unlimited – has led to a colossal under valuation of this important resource and poor governance. The poor governance is first reflected in the lack of official data – reliable or unreliable – of how much sand is extracted or used in each state of India. But the unofficial estimates are astounding. A recent WWF report estimated that in 2010 India consumed about 1.5 billion tons (BT) of sand, up from about 0.8 BT at the end of the 20th century (Koehnken & Rintoul, 2018). Assuming the same growth rate, in 2020 India may be consuming about 2.5 BT. How Much is 2.5 BT of Sand? That, 2.5 BT/per annum is a staggering amount. The Ganga-Brahmaputra river system deposits only ~ 0.73 BT of sediments every year in the Bay of Bengal (Singh M. et al, 2007). A back- of-a-bus ticket calculation shows that ~ 200 to 300 million trucks are probably required every year to transport this load.
