  • A Case Study of Flood in 2000 in Murshidabad, West Bengal
    Research Paper Volume : 2 | Issue : 3 |Geography Mar 2013 • ISSN No 2277 - 8179 Role of Reservoirs in Flood: A Case Study KEYWORDS : Flood in Murshidabad, of Flood in 2000 in Murshidabad, West Massanjore Dam, Mayurakshi River Bengal Basin, Damodar Valley Corporation Swati Mollah Asst. Prof. in Geography, Department of Geography, Dumkal College, P.O. Basantapur, Dumkal, Murshidabad, PIN- 742 406 ABSTRACT In India, for controlling flood emphasis has been on structural measures especially construction of multipur- pose projects due to economy of construction cost. They are required to moderate the incoming floods to the maximum possible extent as well as store enough water during the monsoon period so that the conservation purpose are best served during the remaining period of the year. But unfortunately these structural measures have been proved futile for flood management. The main problem of these reservoirs is heavy siltation and inappropriate maintenance. In most cases, the actual rate of siltation is found to be higher than the design rate. For the 23 reservoirs the annual loss in live storage capacity is 0.912% of the original live storage capacity. These 23 reservoirs have already lost 23.11 % of LS by 2006. This paper attempts to find out the problems regarding the Massanjore Dam in controlling flood in Murshidabad, in particular based on secondary data from various government reports. It may help the administration of the district to find the solution of the flood problem in other way than depending on controlling flood through reservoir regulation. INTRODUCTION Most parts of India being dependent for water on 3-4 month long monsoon, reservoirs are created to store water for use oftrolling 2000 flood.in Murshidabad and its adjoining parts.

  • Cryptic Diversity of a Glossopteris Forest: the Permian Prince Charles Mountains Floras, Antarctica
    CRYPTIC DIVERSITY OF A GLOSSOPTERIS FOREST: THE PERMIAN PRINCE CHARLES MOUNTAINS FLORAS, ANTARCTICA by Ben James Slater A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences College of Life and Environmental Sciences University of Birmingham September 2013 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

ABSTRACT The Toploje Member chert is a Roadian to Wordian autochthonous– parautochthonous silicified peat preserved within the Lambert Graben, East Antarctica. It preserves a remarkable sample of terrestrial life from high-latitude central Gondwana prior to the Capitanian mass extinction event from both mega- and microfossil evidence that includes cryptic components rarely seen in other fossil assemblages. The peat layer is dominated by glossopterid and cordaitalean gymnosperms and contains sparse herbaceous lycophytes, together with a broad array of dispersed organs of ferns and other gymnosperms. The peat also hosts a wide range of fungal morphotypes, Peronosporomycetes, rare arthropod remains and a diverse coprolite assemblage. The fungal and invertebrate-plant interactions associated with various organs of the Glossopteris plant reveal the cryptic presence of a ‘component community’ of invertebrate herbivores and fungal saprotrophs centred around the Glossopteris organism, and demonstrate that a multitude of ecological interactions were well developed by the Middle Permian in high-latitude forest mires.

The main coal bearing area with subdued topography is skirted on the northern, eastern and southern sides by hills of basic volcanic rocks. The general elevation of the low ground straddles between 80 m and 105 m, while the hill in the southern part attains a maximum altitude of 135 m above the mean sea level. Bansloi, the main surface run-off flowing from west to east drains the central part of the area. A few ephemeral streamlets originating from the northern and southern uplands and fed by the rain water, criss-cross the tract and eventually meet the Bansloi river, which together constitute the drainage system of the area.

HEMBROM.P1*AND BODRA.P2 1. Department of Zoology, Assistant Professor. College, Dumka, Jharkhand. 2. University Department of Botany, Assistant Professor, S.K.M.U., Dumka-814101, Jharkhand ABSTRACT Dumka is the sub-capital of 28th newly formed state of Jharkhand, India. The district has 10 blocks mainly dominated by Santhal tribe other than Paharia, Oraon, Bedia etc. Santhals are mostly agriculturalist but due to many types of water bodies present in the district they catch fishes as hobby, for food, festival & livelihood. One of the main water resources is Mayurakshi river. Ancestral inherited knowledge of Santhals make them well acquainted with fishing techniques and appliances fit to habitat of fishes. This paper present new information about the correlation between habitat of freshwater native fishes and fishing appliances made of natural artefacts like grasses, bamboos etc. and places where appliances can be fit to fix for a good catch. Collecting pot made of bamboo had also be reported. Vernacular name (Santhali) of fish species is also been sought out along with English and Zoological name. KEYWORDS– Dumka, Santhal, Fishing techniques. 1.INTRODUCTION On 15th November 2000, Jharkhand became the 28th new state of Indian with Ranchi as its capital & Dumka as its sub-capital. Dumka district consists of 10 blocks namely Dumka, Masalia, Rameshwar, Shikari Para, Jama, Gopikandar, Kathikund, Jarmundi, Saraiyahat and Ramgarh.

There is lack of Irrigation-facilities in the Santhal Pargana of Godda district where almost 85 per cent of the population are dependent on farming for their livelihood. The Chandan Dam of Banka district in Bihar was completed in 1978 and can irrigate 80 thousand hectares of Rabi and Kharif crops. Under this large scale irrigation project, there was a plan to build 105 kms long canal, 35 kms of the canal in Bihar's Banka and other 70 kms in Jharkhand’s Godda. The water from the Dam was to reach Godda’s Triveni, Kajhiya, Harna north and Harna south. It had to be connected to Poryaiyhat’s proposed Suggabathan dam. This was also to be the support system of river Sapin, Sunder, Sonepur, Bhaura, Rajabandh and Sunder reservoir. Further, over the last four years, I have been making personal efforts in pushing for projects that have actually been conceived almost 40 years back. These projects have neither started nor have they been closed. Among such projects, I am highlighting the following projects which need your immediate attention: Old Projects :- (1) Punasi - Deoghar (2) Triveni - Godda (3) Kajhaiya - Godda (4) Harna - Godda (5) Sugabathan Dam - Godda (6) Expansion of Sundar - Godda Dam (7) Budhai Dam - Deoghar 1/2 12/6/2018 (8) Saidapur Beer - Godda (9) Tardiha Beer - Godda (10) Darhwa Beer - Deoghar (11) Dahua Beer - Deoghar (12) Krishnasagar Dam - Deoghar (13) Trikut Jalashaya - Deoghar (14) Raja Bandh & - Godda Mahagama Canal (15) Kalikatta beer - Thakurgangti, Godda (16) Khanbara beet - - Godda (17) Budhwa Bandy - Godda New Projects :- (1) Kalipur Reservoir at Motihara Nadi Dumka (2) Bhurbhura Reservoir (3) Bishanpur Reservoir (4) Jamania reservoir (5) Pargodih Reservoir at Bansloi River, Godda.
