The word Jaisalmer is said to have been derived form a combination oof word. Jaisal & Mara a local name for Jaisals fort. The present district is largely composed of the former Jaisalmer State, which was among the last Rajputana State to go under British Protection. 1.2 LOCATION AND LAND AREA:- Jaisalmer is the western most district of the Rajasthan state as well as that of India. It extends form 26 0 to 28 0 02 north latitude and form 69 0 3 to 70 0 2 east longitude. The district is bounded by Pakistan on its north and west, Barmer on South, Jodhpur on east and Bikaner on north east. It commands a unique strategic position.' The district has the geographical area of 38401 Km. Area wise the district is the larget one among all the district of the State of Rajasthan and account for 11.21 % of the total geographical area of the State. 1.3 PHYSIOGRAPHY :- The area comprising the district is almost sandy, dry and ill watered and forms part of the great Indian Desert of Thar. Physiographically, the district exhibits and undulation tarrain and could be deivided into their main region: viz. (I) The desert in the northern and western parts, (II) the platue or hillock region of Jaisalmer city in the center, and (III) the plains in the southern and eastern parts. There are interminable sea of sand dunes of different shapes and highest. The biggest are found in Ramgarh and Sam area. Begetation in the district is very poor due to lack of water and rainfalls. 1.4 CLIMATE & RAINFALL The climate of the district is dry and healty. It is characterized by large extremes of temperature and erratic fainfall. the hot weather is very prolonged and the heat during the summers, which extend up to end of June, is very intense. During the year 2015-16 the maximum temperature recorded at Jaisalmer was 47. C while the minimum was as low as 5-60C. The rainfall in the district is scanty and precarious generally varies in different parts of the district. The average normal annual rainfall is recorded 44 mm in the 2015-16. The rainfall generally decreases from the south -east to the north-west in the district. The 2 month's - western regions of the district have the scantiest rains and are largely confined to south monsoon season when about 86 percent of the annual rainfall is received. 1.5 GEOLOGY AND MINERALS :- As already stated the area now known, as Jaisalmer district is to large extent covered by dunes of the transverse type i.e. the ridges are parallel to the prevailing direction of the winds. The Jurassic rocks comprising limestone sand stone and shale's amist the desert sand. According to survey conducted by Geology survey of India, these can be broadly classified into seven groups namely Eocene Beds, Bur Beds, Pariah sand stone, Badsar Beds, Baisakhi Beds, Jaisalmer Lime stone and Lathi Beds. The important minerals found in the district are fuller's earth, clay, gypsum, limestone, yellow and redocher and phosporite, though fairly large deposits of fuller's earth is also available in the district, its exploitation seems to be of a limited scale near Manda, Nehdai and Ramgarh. While clay occurs at Devikot, Chor, and Mandai gypsum is excavated at Mohangarh. Other important locations where large deposits are expected are Hamirwali, Lakhasan, Lakha, Nokh and Nehdai. Jaisalmer liestone is located at Amarsager, Moolsagar and near Jaisalmer town After good polish, it can be used as ornamental stones. Chips of these stones are used in mosaic tiles and cement flooring Red and yallow ocher are found in south and west of Devikot. The availability of phosphnite has been found near Beermania which may prove to be of great value in the manufacture of super phosphate fertilizers. A part of the availability of above stated minerals, the district also possesses very rich patches of petroleum, Oil and gas ( POL ). 1.6 FOREST, FLORA AND FAUNA :- The forest areas cover only 144.16 km. of land in the district constituting 0.38 percent of the total area of the district. Thus there are negligible forest worth in Jaisalmer district because of the climatic conditions. Hence, the prospects of forest development in the district in the near future seems to be bleak unless a regular water supply is assured. On account of the prevailing desert conditions in the district, vegetation is very scarce. The vegetation of this area can be included in tropical Thoru forest area. Most of the flowering plants found in the area are shrubs and wild grasses which, however, do not survive for more that a few months after the rains. The main trees found in the district are Babul, Kumats, Neem Jal, Gugul, Ber etc. are prominent others are Neem and Khejri. The district not found any special type of wild animals in lack of wild forest or hills. The fauna found here is common variety such as Hyanas, desert fox, jackals and chinkara. The game birds found in the district are the imperial sand grouse, the common bustards, the great Indian bustards, the Indian courser and the grey batrohidge. The 3 imperial sand grouse usually visits the area in winter during the month's October to February. 1.7 Administrative set-up :- The district is divided into three sub divisons viz. Jaislamer, fatehgarh and Pokaran and three tehsils viz Jaislamer, Fatehagarh and Sankara. A part of above the district also have four number of sub tehsils viz, Sum, Ramgarh, Nokh, and Bhaniyana.

Though it is a very broad term, in this chapter, it has been used with reference to the process of economic development. It is, thus different from the traditional hit-and-miss methods by PLANNING AND On 1 January 2015, the NITI Aayog was formed. India adopted centralised planning SUSTAINABLE after Independence, but subsequently, it graduated into decentralised multi-level DEVELOPMENT IN planning. The responsibility of plan formulation was with the Planning Comminssion at the INDIAN CONTEXT Centre, State and district levels.

  • Evaluation of Heavy Metal Contamination in Indira Gandhi Canal Water, Sri-Ganganagar, India
    SRJIS/BIMONTHLY/DR. RACHNA MIDHA (5023-5035) EVALUATION OF HEAVY METAL CONTAMINATION IN INDIRA GANDHI CANAL WATER, SRI-GANGANAGAR, INDIA Rachna Midha, Ph. D. Sri Ganganagar (Rajasthan) Abstract The Indira Gandhi canal is the lifeline of Rajasthan which carries drinking and irrigation water from Harike barrage in Punjab to Rajasthan, it supplies water to 15 districts of Rajasthan. This paper discuss an integrated approach of heavy metal pollution discharged from various industries and municipal authorities. the water quality of the wetland has been studied with reference to various toxic metals. The metals analyzed include lead (Pb), chromium (Cr), copper (Cu), nickel (Ni) and Arsenic (As). The quality of water has drastically deteriorated due to the mixing of the heavy metals. Most of the metal ions were in higher concentration compared to the international standards. It has been observed that the quality of water is not safe for various aquatic and even unfit for human drinking and irrigation purposes, therefore, necessary conservation and management measures should be taken to improve the deteriorating water quality of this globally recognized wetland. Scholarly Research Journal's is licensed Based on a work at www.srjis.com Inroduction: A Canal is defined as a large artificial stream of water emptying into its fed areas. Canal and streams drain water that falls in down-land areas. Moving water, dilutes and decomposes pollutants more rapidly than standing water, but many rivers, streams and canals are significantly polluted all around the world (Bailey 2002). A primary reason for this is that all three major sources of pollution (industry, agriculture and domestic) are concentrated along the running water streams.
