    Major WETLANDS Of Himachal Pradesh Himachal Pradesh State Wetland Authority WETLANDS Wetlands are important features in the landscape that provide numerous benecial services for people, wildlife and aquatic species. Some of these services, or functions, include protecting and improving water quality, providing sh and wildlife habitats, storing oodwaters and maintaining surface water ow during dry periods. These valuable functions are the result of the unique natural characteristics of wetlands. Wetlands are among the most productive ecosystems in the world, comparable to rain forests and coral reefs. An immense variety of WETLANDS species of microbes, plants, insects, amphibians, Conservation Programme with the active reptiles, birds, sh and mammals can be part of a participation of all the stakeholders, keeping in view wetland ecosystem.

Biodiversity of Khajjiar area of Himachal Pradesh has 223 species of different faunal groups (invertebrates and 100 vertebrates), comprised of 93 genera, 79 families and 32 orders. Out of these, 3 species of butterflies are placed under Wildlife Protection Act (1972) and 13 mammals have been placed under Indian Wildlife Protection Act 1972. While nine species of mammals has been listed as threateened in Convention in Trade of Endangered Species (CITES). Two critically endangered birds, Indian White-backed Vulture and Red- headed Vulture are also recorded. Ecological equilibrium of the study area is no more in a balanced state due to increased development and human intervention.

The monitoring commenced in the year 1969 with the establishment of 3 observation wells and since, then the number of monitoring station are being increased regularly so as to get the overall picture of ground water scenario in different hydrogeological set up of the state. Most of the area in Himachal Pradesh is hilly enclosing few small intermontane valleys. The traditional ground water structures under observation at present are dugwells and are mostly located in the valley areas only. Therefore, the ground water regime monitoring programme is concentrated mainly in valley areas of the state and some places in hard rock areas. All the 128 National Hydrograph Stations are located only in 7 districts out of the 12 districts in Himachal Pradesh. The reason being hilly terrain, hard approachability and insignificant number of structures available for monitoring. The average annual rainfall in the state varies from 600 mm to more than 2400 mm. The rainfall increases from south to north.

Journal of Hymenoptera Research 33: 99–112. doi: 10.3897/JHR.33.4373 Abstract Based on a cladistic analysis, a new genus of Agathidini, Agathacrista Sharkey, is proposed and its phylo- genetic position hypothesized. Two previously described (Agathacrista cancellata, Agathacrista depressifera) and three new species (Agathacrista sailomi, Agathacrista winloni, Agathacrista krataeii) are included. The distribution of Agathacrista is limited to the Oriental region and southern portion of the eastern Palearctic. Keywords Insecta, identification key, taxonomy, systematics Introduction Agathacrista, as proposed here, includes two previously described species, both of which were included in the paraphyletic concepts of Bassus s.l. and Therophilus s.l. This paper is part of a series that investigates these non-monophyletic taxa, while describing taxa from Thailand, Costa Rica, or more inclusive areas of the world.

Synonymy, nomenclature and origin of plant material were sorted. The lists of species grown in the last 122 years are constructed in such a way as to show that throughout that period at least 1423 taxa of succulent plants from 254 genera and 17 families inhabited the Garden’s cold glass- house collection.

The monitoring commenced in the year 1969 with the establishment of 3 observation wells and since, then the number of monitoring station are being increased regularly so as to get the overall picture of ground water scenario in different hydrogeological set up of the state. Most of the area in Himachal Pradesh is hilly enclosing few small intermontane valleys. The traditional ground water structures under observation at present are dugwells and are mostly located in the valley areas only. Therefore, the ground water regime monitoring programme is concentrated mainly in valley areas of the state and some places in hard rock areas. All the 111 National Hydrograph Stations are located only in 7 districts out of the 12 districts in Himachal Pradesh. The reason being hilly terrain, hard approachability and insignificant number of structures available for monitoring. The average annual rainfall in the state varies from 600 mm to more than 2400 mm. The rainfall increases from south to north. Dharamshala in district Kangra, receives the 2nd highest rainfall of about 3000 mm in the Country.

  • Regional, Seasonal, and Diurnal Variations of Extreme Convection in the South Asian Region
    15 JANUARY 2010 R O M A T S C H K E E T A L . 419 Regional, Seasonal, and Diurnal Variations of Extreme Convection in the South Asian Region ULRIKE ROMATSCHKE University of Washington, Seattle, Washington, and University of Vienna, Vienna, Austria SOCORRO MEDINA AND ROBERT A. HOUZE JR. University of Washington, Seattle, Washington (Manuscript received 17 March 2009, in final form 2 July 2009) ABSTRACT Temporal and spatial variations of convection in South Asia are analyzed using eight years of Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) Precipitation Radar (PR) data and NCEP reanalysis fields. To identify the most extreme convective features, three types of radar echo structures are defined: deep convective cores (contiguous 3D convective echo $40 dBZ extending $10 km in height) represent the most vertically pen- etrative convection, wide convective cores (contiguous convective $40 dBZ echo over a horizontal area $1000 km2) indicate wide regions of intense multicellular convection, and broad stratiform regions (strati- form echo contiguous over an area $50 000 km2) mark the mesoscale convective systems that have de- veloped the most robust stratiform regions. The preferred locations of deep convective cores change markedly from India’s east coast in the pre- monsoon to the western Himalayan foothills in the monsoon. They form preferentially in the evening and over land as near-surface moist flow is capped by dry air aloft. Continental wide convective cores show a similar behavior with an additional nocturnal peak during the monsoon along the Himalayan foothills that is associated with convergence of downslope flow from the Himalayas with moist monsoonal winds at the foothills.

A generic-level phylogeny for the tribe was recently produced, providing new insights into relationships between the taxa. Octopoma and Arenifera are woody shrubs with multilocular capsules and are distributed across the Succulent Karoo. Octopoma was shown to be polyphyletic in the tribal phylogeny, but comprehensive sampling is required to confirm its polyphyly. Arenifera has not previously been sampled and therefore its phylogenetic placement in the tribe is uncertain. In this study, phylogenetic sampling for nine plastid regions (atpB-rbcL, matK, psbJ-petA, rpl16, rps16, trnD-trnT, trnL-F, trnQUUG-rps16, trnS-trnG) was expanded to include all species of Octopoma and Arenifera, to assess phylogenetic placement and relationships of these genera.
