  • Historical Geography and Demography of Colonial Northern Bengal
    Chapter I Historical Geography and Demography of Colonial Northern Bengal The present chapter seeks to historicize the geographical transformations and ecological vulnerabilities during the colonial periods in northern Bengal. The chapter also intends to explain the demographic transformations of northern Bengal shaped by the environmental factors and natural disasters occurred during the period of the study. Apart from the geographical and demographical changes the chapter will also focus on the political construction of the northern Bengal districts which had gone through several territorial and administrative adjustments and transfers of lands among each other even in the first half of the twentieth century. In order to analyse the geographical characteristics, the river system, change of river course and formation of new lands seemed to be the most decisive factor for the geographical construction of the region. Northern Bengal had a great variety of topographical structures which extended from the Darjeeling Himalayan ranges to the riverine inundated agricultural tracts. Niharranjan Ray, while describing the northern boundary of Bengal, has argued that the north of Bengal is bounded up by the Sikkim and the snowy Himalayan peak of Kanchenjungha below which there are Jalpaiguri and Darjeeling districts.1 The districts of Jalpaiguri, Darjeeling and the State of Cooch Behar were overwhelmingly populated by the hilly tribes viz. Lepcha, Limbu, Koch, Rajbanshi, and Bhutia; and the north-eastern boundary in the ancient time was extended up to the Brahmaputra river which demarcated the eastern and western boundary of Pundrabardhan and Kamrup State respectively.2 H. Blochmann has mentioned about the five ‘districts’ of Bengal during pre-medieval period viz.

    BAUET JOURNAL Published by Bangladesh Army University of Engineering & Technology (BAUET) Journal Homepage:http://journal.bauet.ac.bd/ Assessment of Heavy Metal Contamination in the Sediment of Gumani River, Bangladesh Md. Raquibul Hasan1, Niloy Kumar Shil2, Md. Mahfuzul Haque3 1,2,3Department of Civil Engineering, Faculty of Engineering and Technology, Pabna University of Science and Technology, Pabna-6600, Bangladesh Abstract: Gumani River is a typical river in Pabna, Bangladesh. It has been suffering an increasing environmental pressure due to the rapid development of population, social-economy and urbanization as well as a long-term over-cultivation. The present study was conducted to investigate heavy metals in the sediment samples of the Gumani river. Samples were collected from five different sampling locations and were analyzed for Pb, Cd, Cr, Mn, and As by atomic absorption spectrophotometer. The observed order of heavy metal concentration in sediments was Mn>Pb>Cd>As>Cr in mg/kg. The concentrations of heavy metals (Pb, Cd, Cr, Mn, and As) in water were found lower than the permissible level. Using advanced statistical techniques and different pollution indices, the ecological risk has been analyzed to find out the sediment contamination in the Gumani River system. According to the geo-accumulation index (Igeo), Cd might exert a moderately hazardous influence. The pollution load index (PLI) assessment suggested that the sediment samples are not contaminated. Though in the study area, there is a low presence of heavy metals, proper management and monitoring are needed to maintain the ecosystem of the river and the surrounding areas. Keywords: Heavy metals; Sediments; Ecological Impact; Gumani River; Pollution Introduction: Rivers are one of the most important natural resources on earth [1]–[3].

  • Status and Decline Causes of Fishing Activities of the Baral River, Natore, Bangladesh
    J. Sci. Foundation, 9(1&2): 115-124, June-December 2011 ISSN 1728-7855 STATUS AND DECLINE CAUSES OF FISHING ACTIVITIES OF THE BARAL RIVER, NATORE, BANGLADESH *F. A. Flowra, M. A. Islam, S. N. Jahan, M. A. Samad, M. M. Alam ABSTRACT The present investigation is a humble attempt to explore fishing techniques of the River Baral from November 2010 to May 2011. Different fish capture methods, fishing gears and crafts that were usually used in the study area have been provided. Hand fishing, cloth fishing, bait fishing and fishing by dewatering were also observed. Causes of habitat degradation and changes of natural habitat and declination of fishes were also observed. Some problems of the fishing community of the study area were also identified. A few policy recommendations have been given in the concluding chapter which may have some positive implication on the life and living of the fishermen in Bangladesh in general and the Baral basin in particular. Keywords: Gears, Crafts, Spears, Hook and lines, decline causes INTRODUCTION River plays an important role in the life and living of the people of a country specially the fishermen. These are also important in terms of huge fisheries resources and other purposes of navigation, irrigation and domestic uses. A single river possess different name at different places, even a five or six km segment has a different name upstream or downstream. Also a single name is used for different rivers in different locations (Alam and Chowdhury, 2006). Bangladesh has vast inland open water (4024934 ha) which is contributing 35.53% of total fish capture.

I 1,2,3,4,5,7 Department of Fisheries, Faculty of Agriculture, University of Rajshahi, Rajshahi, Bangladesh 6Faculty of Fisheries, Patuakhali Science &Technology University, Patuakhali, Bangladesh ABSTRACT The present study was conducted at the Baral river adjacent area of both Charghat sluice gate of Charghat upazila and Baraigram sluice gate of Baraigram upazila under Rajshahi and Natore district of Bangladesh respectively during the period of May 2006 to April 2007 aiming to assess the sluice gate impact on fishing activity, fisheries diversity, riverine habitability and livelihood stability of the fishermen implying the gear, catch and environmental assessment survey, in- depth interview and participatory rural appraisal through in situ observation. The sluice gate impacted the fishing activity of the fishermen reducing or modifying the type, structure and number of gear, emphasizing to use minute meshed gear, restricting species and gear selectivity, increasing fishing effort and intensity and decreasing catch composition under limited operating periods. The sluice gate pessimistically affected the fisheries diversity reducing the type and number of fish species including prawn, decreasing their overall and local status and thrown them miserably in extinct, endangered, vulnerable and threatened position where abundance, availability and breeding of most species dominantly hampered, changed or reduced.

  • Materials for a Survey of the Mosquitoes of Calcutta
    VIII MATERIALS FOR A SURVEY OF THE MOSQUITOES OF CALCUTTA. By C. A. PAIVA, Assistant, Indian Museum. [NOTE.-The delay in the appearance of this paper is due to the fact that owing to the absence during almost the whole time of the survey as well as for many years previously, of any scientific officer who could devote more than a small part of his time to the supervision of the conservation of our extensive entomological collections, Mr. Paiva has been unable to devote more than a fraction of his time to mosquito work. For the same reason the survey cannot be regarded as exhaustive, or even sufficient for the "fringe area" to which it was con­ fined, since the methods employed were rough and ready in the extreme. Their chief defects lie in the lack of adequate supervision over the collectors, and in the identification by means of the adults only of the larvae and pupae obtained. With regard to the first of these defects, Mr. Paiva tells me that it was easy to keep a check on the truth of the collectors' statements as to the nature of the breeding-places from which different collec­ tions of larvae were brought in, as he quickly found that some species preferred one sort and others preferred others, a fact which could not be taken into account by an ignorant collector anxious to avoid any suspicion that he neglected filthy water. But he was quite unable either to see that every type of breeding­ place found was regularly sampled or to instruct the collectors personally in the art of finding larvae in large areas of water over which they might be dispersed; and it is probably on this account that no species known to transmit malaria has been revealed in the collections made either by the corporation kerosening-coolies or by the collectors subsequently employed by the Museum; for it is well known that these mosquitoes breed in clean water.
