  • Rought Anage Ent in Indian Rid Zone Dignataries at Th E Dms
    rought anage ent In Indian rid Zone Dignataries at th e dms. Drought Management ill ~ Indian Arid Zone ~ Editors Pratap Narain D. C. Joshi s. Kathju A. Kar Central Arid Zone Research Institute Jodhpur .. 342 003 October, 2002. Published by: Arid Agro-Ecosystem Director National Agriculture Technology Project, Central Arid Zone Research Institute Jodhpur-342003 Support: Bhupesh Vaid and Rishi Kala Printed at: Indian Tourism Publications, 743, Nehru Park, Jodhpur 342003 Foreword Drought is a recurring feature in aridregiol1 ofIndia. The drought of the year 2002 is unique and severest drought of the country in the sense that all the scientific and traditional predictions failed miserably. The region received only < 30 % of the mean annual rainfall in one or two spells of 10-20 rom each. This was insufficient for sowing of the kharif crops. Regeneration of grasses and has resulted in acute shortage of drinking water for human and livestock. Migration of livestock has started to the adjoining states, but the problem is compounded by insufficient or inordinate delayed rains in neighboring states. A contingency planning for kharifas well as for rabi crops was immediately rerquired particularly for arid regIOn. Since its inception, CAZRI has been engaged in developing technologies for drought proofing in the arid region. Techniques for wind erosion control, in situ moisture conservation, integrated nutrient and pest management, fanning systems involving agro~ forestry, agro-horticulture and silvi-pastoral have been evolved. Drought~tolerant genotypes of crops and perennial species have also been identified. The NATP programmes under Arid Agro-ecosystem is a forward step to strengthen the drought proofing of the arid region In order to consider suitable Sh011, medium and long-term strategies to combat droughts in the region, a brainstorming session on "Drought management: Contingency plaJll1ing" was organised by CAZRI on August, 20 and 21,2002.

  • Management of Lakes in India M.S.Reddy1 and N.V.V.Char2
    10 March 2004 Management of Lakes in India M.S.Reddy1 and N.V.V.Char2 1. Introduction There is no specific definition for Lakes in India. The word “Lake” is used loosely to describe many types of water bodies – natural, manmade and ephemeral including wetlands. Many of them are euphemistically called Lakes more by convention and a desire to be grandiose rather than by application of an accepted definition. Vice versa, many lakes are categorized as wetlands while reporting under Ramsar Convention. India abounds in water bodies, a preponderance of them manmade, typical of the tropics. The manmade (artificial) water bodies are generally called Reservoirs, Ponds and Tanks though it is not unusual for some of them to be referred to as lakes. Ponds and tanks are small in size compared to lakes and reservoirs. While it is difficult to date the natural lakes, most of the manmade water bodies like Ponds and Tanks are historical. The large reservoirs are all of recent origin. All of them, without exception, have suffered environmental degradation. Only the degree of degradation differs. The degradation itself is a result of lack of public awareness and governmental indifference. The situation is changing but slowly. Environmental activism and legal interventions have put sustainability of lakes in the vanguard of environmental issues. This paper is an attempt at presenting a comprehensive view of the typical problems experienced in the better known lakes, their present environmental status and efforts being made to make them environmentally sustainable. 1.1 Data India is well known for the huge variance in its lakes, but the data is nebulous.

  • Report on the Ichthyo Fauna of Anna and Madurai Districts" Tamil Nadu
    Bee. zool. $urv. India,. 89( 1-4) : 233-243, 1991. REPORT ON THE ICHTHYO FAUNA OF ANNA AND MADURAI DISTRICTS" TAMIL NADU T J.INDRA Zooloqrcal Survey of India, Madras INTRODUCTION During the years 1986-1987, Zoological Survey of India, Southern Regional Station, carried out two extensive surveys of Anna and Madurai Districts, in Tamil Nadu, under the Mopping Survey Scheme. Madurai District is traversed by the river Vaigai and its tributaries such as Theni, Surali and Moolar. These are seasonal rivers. Apart from these water ways there are few lakes i.e. Kodaikanal Lake and Berijam Lake in Anna District. Some water falls and hillstreams were also surveyed for their Ichthyo fauna. The Vaigai Dam across' Vaigai river near Madurai and Sathiar Dam also near Madurai were also surveyed. No comprehensive account on the fish fauna of Anna and Madurai Districts is available and therefore, a list of fishes from these districts is worth reporting. The data under each species includes its first reference, number of examples, their size range in mm. in standard length, area of collection, date of collection, geographical distribution and remarks (wherever variations are observed). In all there are 34 species in the present collection of 560 examples (503 adults and 57 juveniles) belonging to 9 families. Puntius arenatus (Day) is being reported for the first time from Vaigai Dam. Puntius filamentosus (Valenciennes) and Puntius mahecola (Val.) were treated as two distinct species in accordance with the findings of Selvaraj, Mathew and Abraham (1986-87). Jayaram (1981) was followed for the identification and distribution of fishes.
