6. Water Quality ------61 6.1 Surface Water Quality Observations ------61 6.2 Ground Water Quality Observations ------62 7
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.

Biodiversity of Blue Green Algae from Satara District (M.S.)
Received: 4th May 2014 Revised: 25th May-2014 Accepted: 27h May-2014 Research Article BIODIVERSITY OF BLUE GREEN ALGAE FROM SATARA DISTRICT (M.S.) Kamble Priyadarshani, Sharda Ghadge, C. T. Karande and V. C. Karande* Post graduate Department of Botany, Yashavantrao Chavan Institute of Science, Satara (M.S.)-415001 Corresponding author*: E mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT: Satara district is located in Western Ghats of Maharashtra. The district occupies 10,480 km2area. The district includes 11 administrative tahasils viz., Satara, Karad, Patan, Jaoli, Wai, Mahabaleshwar, Phaltan, Maan, Khatav, Koregaon, Khandala. Entire district falls within Deccan trap area, however the common soil types are the black, loamy and clay. Some western part of district enjoys average annual rainfall exceeding 500 mm while eastern side has the rainfall less than 300 mm. These variations in environmental condition have helped this region to be rich in floral biodiversity. Present work was carried out to explore the diversity of blue green algae from Satara district. Variety of habitats from 82 localities were screened to explore blue green algae from the district. Between June 2010 to May 2013 in all 127 species from 36 genera belonging to 4 orders were recorded. Out of these 28 species were unicellular while 99 were filamentous. Filamentous forms were found to be dominant over unicellular forms. Keywords: Biodiversity, Blue green algae, Satara district. INTRODUCTION Blue green algae or Cyanobacteria are phototrophic prokaryotic organisms. They inhabit almost all known photic habitats. They play important role in maintaining aquatic ecosystem and form base of food web (Thakur and Behere 2008). They show remarkable adaptations and surviving strategies because of which they survive under extreme environmental conditions.
