  • Sedimentological Characterization of Nagavali-Vamsadhra Estuarine System, East Coast of India, Andhra Pradesh
    Studia Rosenthaliana (Journal for the Study of Research) ISSN NO: 1781-7838 Sedimentological Characterization of Nagavali-Vamsadhra Estuarine System, East Coast of India, Andhra Pradesh Gara Raja Rao1, Yamala Vinay Kumar2, Vaggela Asha3, Sanapala Harikrishna3, Mokka Jagannadha Rao4 1 Assistant Professor, Department of Geology, Andhra University, Visakhapatnam. 2,3 Research Scholar, Department of Geology, Andhra University, Visakhapatnam. 4 Professor, Department of Geology, Andhra University, Visakhapatnam. Abstract: The importance of textural characteristics of estuarine sediments in the present study is useful in understanding the intensity of sediment transportation in the fluvial systems. The importance of grain size parameters of the sediments is well recognized in sedimentology and has been well established. The present study illustrates the detailed textural characterization of Nagavali and Vamsadhara estuarine sediments of East Coast of India, Srikakulam, Tamil Nadu. The textural studies reflect that the sediments have significant fractions of fine to medium sand, silt and clay, where fine sand is predominant in both the estuaries. The statistical sedimentary analysis for the samples say mean size, standard deviation, skewness and kurtosis is carried out. The sediment is dominantly fine sand with moderately sorted, nearly skewed in Nagavali estuary whereas the sand is very well sorted and nearly symmetrical in Vamsadhara estuarine sediments. The sediments of both are similar in size and show low variance. The present study suggests that the sediments were deposited in low energy conditions. The Nagavali estuary samples shows nearly symmetrical skewness and the Vamsadhara estuary samples shows nearly symmetrical to positive skewness. Negative Skewness was being correlated with high energy and winnowing action and positive Skewness with lower energy levels.

  • Performance of Sweet Pepper Under Protective Structure
    INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENT Volume-3, Issue-2, Mar-May 2014 ISSN 2091-2854 Received:13 April Revised:1 May Accepted:16 May ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS OF BORRA CAVE, VISAKHAPATTANAM, INDIA Haraprasad Bairagya Department of Geography, Visva-Bharati University, Santiniketan, West Bengal, India, 731235 Email: hbairagya7@ gmail.com Abstract Caving is an art which can be best experienced in the mystic Borra of Eastern Ghats and ranked as the second largest cave of India just after Belum Caves situated in the same state Andhrapradesh, India. This Cave is fast becoming a hot tourist‟s destination offering great adventurous opportunity to the tourists in the Eastern Ghats. The cave is located in the Ananthagiri hills of the Eastern Ghats region near Visakhapattanam and is made of limestone. The emotion of thrill heightens after entering the cave. The entrance has a narrow vertical opening and is well lit. Due to its location in the sub-equatorial region, dripping of water from the cave roofs occurs almost throughout the year. The formation of stalactites and stalagmites create wonderful phenomena specially found in this cave. The conspicuous pillars formed due to the joining of the roof and the floors are an awe-inspiring creativity of the creator of this world. Various viruses and bacteria are in the cave interior along with different other creatures. The Borra cave helps the Govt. of Andhra Pradesh, India, to earn huge economic benefits for the sake of tourism industry. Keywords: Cave, stalactite, stalagmite, virus, bacteria Introduction Caves have always hunted the imagination of mankind already from the start of human history; these natural formations provided shelter to early man and were sought after earnestly, to provide a „safe home‟.

  • Grain Size Distribution of Coastal Sands Between Gosthani and Champavathi Rivers Confluence, East Coast of India, Andhra Prades
    J. Ind. Geophys.

Department of Geology, Andhra University, Visakhapatnam-530003 *Corresponding Author: [email protected] ABSTRACT The studies on grain size characteristics are valuable to understand the source for the evolution of coastal sand environments. Seventy one sediment samples from twenty traverses of costal sediments in between Gosthani River mouth in south and Champavathi River in the north (Lat.17º52'-18º.02' N; Long.83º26'- 83º36' E) have been collected and studied. The coastal sediments are medium to fine grained (1.68 Ø – 2.80Ø), very well sorted to moderately well sorted (0.26Ø – 0.67Ø), strongly coarse to fine skewed (-0.63 Ø to 0.31Ø) and pltykurtic to leptokurtic (0.74Ø – 1.27Ø) in nature and deposited in moderate to high energy environment conditions with dominant rolling, bottom and graded suspension mechanisms. The observations are supported by the frequency distribution curves, CM plots and scatter plots between parameters, conforming to the bimodal nature to dominant fine sand in different microenvironments (dune, backshore, berm, and foreshore). These textural parameters have been further examined to understand the hydrodynamic

    Version 2.0 Krishna Basin Preface Optimal management of water resources is the necessity of time in the wake of development and growing need of population of India. The National Water Policy of India (2002) recognizes that development and management of water resources need to be governed by national perspectives in order to develop and conserve the scarce water resources in an integrated and environmentally sound basis. The policy emphasizes the need for effective management of water resources by intensifying research efforts in use of remote sensing technology and developing an information system. In this reference a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed on December 3, 2008 between the Central Water Commission (CWC) and National Remote Sensing Centre (NRSC), Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) to execute the project “Generation of Database and Implementation of Web enabled Water resources Information System in the Country” short named as India-WRIS WebGIS. India-WRIS WebGIS has been developed and is in public domain since December 2010 (www.india- wris.nrsc.gov.in). It provides a ‘Single Window solution’ for all water resources data and information in a standardized national GIS framework and allow users to search, access, visualize, understand and analyze comprehensive and contextual water resources data and information for planning, development and Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM). Basin is recognized as the ideal and practical unit of water resources management because it allows the holistic understanding of upstream-downstream hydrological interactions and solutions for management for all competing sectors of water demand. The practice of basin planning has developed due to the changing demands on river systems and the changing conditions of rivers by human interventions.
