The various hydroelectric schemes presently under operation utilise only about 14-15 % of the total potential. Efforts are on to increase the present installed capacity. For the purpose of hydroelectric development, the river basins could be divided into six major groups namely Indus, Brahinaputra, Ganga, Central Indian Rivers, West Flowing Rivers and East Flowing Rivers. There is a broad consensus in the Government of India to expand power generation by developing the country's hydropower potential of which, very less has been harnessed so far. While State and Central Government agencies are largely concentrating on mega-hydel projects, the private sector is being roped in to execute the mini- and micro-hydel segment projects. Funding for these projects has come in from the World Bank, private banks like ICICI, nationalized banks like Central Bank of India, various State Banks, and institutions like IFCI and PFC. As per the estimates of CEA, region wise hydro power potential of India has been given below: Table 1-1 Hydropower Potential of India Principal Features of Hydro Project Potential Feasible Potential in Pumped Small Hydro Region at Installed billion kWh per Storage (up to 25 60%Load Capacity in year Feasible MW) Factor MW Installed Potential in Capacity MW . ____ _ .in MW Northern 30155 53405 225 13065 5210 Western 5679 8928 31.4 39684 2100 Southern 10768 16446 61.8 17750 2230 Eastern 5590 10965 42.5 9125 1660 North- 31857 58956 239.3 16900 3330 Eastern Total 84044 148700 600 95524 14530 Source: Estimates of Central Electricity Authority (CEA) Note on potential: Estimates of Small Hydro potential vary.

Introduction The lifelines of Himalayas A massive collision between two tectonic plates of the Indian and Eurasian land masses about 50 to 70 million years ago led to the formation of the youngest and tallest mountain ranges, the Himalayas. Once the Himalayas started to rise, a southward drainage developed which subsequently controlled the climate of the newly formed continent, and there started the season of monsoon as well. The river systems of the Himalayas thus developed because of rains and melting snow. The newly formed rivers were like sheets of water flowing towards the fore-deep carrying whatever came in their way. Once the rivers reached the plains their gradients became lesser, their hydraulics changed and they started to deposit their sediment (Priyadarshi, 2016). The river is a defining feature of a mountain eco-system. And if that ecosystem is the Himalayas then this makes the rivers originating here special for several reasons. Their origin and source to start with, which includes glaciers and snow bound peaks; their length and size, and the area they cover is larger than most peninsular rivers; their rapid, high velocity, meandering flow which is constantly shaping the young and malleable Himalayan valleys; their propensity to carry silt and form rich plains to facilitate a fertile agriculture downstream is another unique feature.

  • Himachal Pradesh
    Chapter 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 The Context Watershed protection and development have gained tremendous importance and relevance in India over the past few years. This has been due to the increasing realization of the alarming state of India’s natural resources – land, water and forest, which have witnessed rapid degradation as a result of the immense pressures that have been put on them by the country’s growing human and livestock population. Dry lands, for instance, which account for almost two-thirds of India’s total cultivated land, are among the most environmentally fragile lands. These supports a large number of India’s poor and contribute a significant proportion of the country’s agricultural output (Ninan and Lakshmikanthamma, 1994). Owing to the intensification of agriculture, extension of cultivation to marginal lands, perverse incentives that encourage the over-exploitation of natural resources, rapid degradation of forest resources, overgrazing and diminishing common lands, much of these lands are in various stages of degradation. According to an estimate made by the National Commission on Agriculture, 175 million hectares of land in India is under some form of degradation or the other (Planning Commission, 2002). This is easily visible in the form of increased soil erosion, declining groundwater tables, decrease in drinking water viability, desertification, etc. in different parts across the country (Ninan & Lakshmikanthamma, 1994). Furthermore, frequent occurrences of either floods or droughts are evidence of improper land use in the catchments, and of the inadequate conservation of forests (MoA, 2002). Since more than two-third's of India’s one billion-strong population depends heavily on the primary sector – agriculture and forestry – to meet their daily survival needs, this degradation of the natural resource base has thus seriously impacted the well being and development of the majority of the country’s population, especially the poor, who depend on these resources the most.

Two species of the trout i.e. Oncorhynchus mykiss (Smith and Stearby) and Salmo trutta fario Linnaeus are found in the higher altitudes of snow-fed rivers of Beas, Sutlej and Ravi of the state. The commercialization of the fish begins in the state with the breeding of the rainbow trout at the hatcheries in 1990. During the recent past it has been realized that the in the wild the trout is declining due to human intrusion, pollution and climate change. Keywords: aquaculture, commercialization, pollution Introduction Himachal Pradesh is situated in the North Western Himalaya between 30022' and 30012' north latitude and between 75047' and 7904' east longitude and altitude ranges from 320 to 7000 meters above the mean sea level. It has four physiographic zones i) Shiwalik zone ii) Lower Himalayan zone iii) Higher Himalayan zone iii) Trans Himalayan zone. The state has a vast network of rivers traversed by Satluj, Beas, Ravi, Chenab and Yamuna River System along with their tributaries.
