Groundwater quality evaluation in Doon valley of Dehradun– A research report by National Institute of Hydrology
In this report, the suitability of groundwater of the Doon valley, Dehradun has been demonstrated on the basis of standards prescribed by BIS and WHO Posted on 28 Jul, 2010 02:16 PM

In this report, the suitability of groundwater of the Doon valley, Dehradun has been demonstrated on the basis of standards prescribed by BIS and WHO. The groundwater quality of the valley has been studied during 1996 to examine the suitability of water for irrigation and drinking purposes. Twelve water samples representing the shallow groundwater of the valley were collected during the pre-monsoon and post-monsoon seasons and analyzed for various constituents, viz. pH, conductance, total dissolved solids, alkalinity, hardness, chloride, sulphate, phosphate, sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium.

IWRS

Organizers:

  • Indian Water Resources Society (IWRS) Roorkee
  • Department of Water Resources Development and Management
  • Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee

Workshop Themes:
This International workshop will provide a platform to the exprerienced and related expert professionals for intensive and threadbare deliberations to explore possible solutions to the vexed problem of stream flow management, channel improvement, sustainability of river eco-systems & IWRM and inland water ways. The focuses of the workshop are as follows:

Anshan by Dr G D Agarwal at Matri Sadan, Haridwar
Posted on 27 Jul, 2010 11:26 AM

Forwarded to the Portal by Dr.Vijay Verma

You are well aware that Dr. G D Agarwal aged 79 years Scientist, Environmentalist, Bureaucrat and Saint is on fast unto death from 20th July 2010 at Matri Sadan, Haridwar. His fragile age will not permit to endure long days of fast. It seems we are waiting for his demise.

National River Ganga Basin Authority (NRGBA) is formed to fool people of India as this is happening since Independence.

Jagatguru Shankaracharya Swami Swaroopanand and Swami Ramdev offer support to Dr. G.D. Agrawal on his fast unto death
Generating support for Bhagirathi's natural flow Posted on 23 Jul, 2010 11:42 PM

Jagatguru Shankaracharya Swami Swaroopanand of Dwarkapeeth sent his personal emissary Swami Dharanand to convey his support to Dr. G.D. Agrawal whose third fast-unto-death to ensure the natural flow in river Bhagirathi (Ganga) from Gangotri to Uttarkashi entered its second day. Yesterday (July 21) Swami Ramdev spent an hour in the evening with Dr. Agrawal and offered his full support.

Study of suspended transport in the Dokriani glacier melt stream – A research report by National Institute of Hydrology
The report presents the status of the sediment studies carried out in Dokriani glacier stream, in the lower as well as higher altitude region of the Garhwal Himalayas. Posted on 15 Jul, 2010 12:17 AM

The report presents the status of the sediment studies carried out in the lower as well as higher altitude region of the Garhwal Himalayas. The processes associated with sediment production in the mountainous region have been described with an emphasis on the glaciarized region. Suspended sediment concentration and load observed in the Dokraini glacier melt stream near its snout has been computed.

Development of relationship between glacier melt runoff and meteorological parameters – A research report by National Institute of Hydrology
The study attempts to develop a relationship between glacier melt runoff and meteorological parameters for the Dokriani glacier in Garhwal Himalayas. Posted on 10 Jul, 2010 04:35 PM

The study attempts to develop a relationship between glacier melt runoff and meteorological parameters for the Dokriani glacier in Garhwal Himalayas. The discharge auto-correlation, correlation between discharge & temperature and between discharge & rainfall has been computed for each month of the summer season and for the melt season as a whole for different years.

Water quality studies of Lake Nainital and surroundings – A research report by National Institute of Hydrology
The report provides an account of the findings of water quality studies of Lake Nainital and surroundings. Posted on 08 Jul, 2010 09:57 PM

The report provides an account of the findings of water quality studies of Lake Nainital and surroundings. Even though quite a few water quality investigations have been conducted by other researchers, they were more focused on biological aspects and overlooked the hydrological aspects. Further, not all of the earlier studies on Nainital incorporated the groundwater quality aspects, which are essential to establish the background values that can be ascribed to the geology of the region. Only after establishing these, the pollution levels can be assessed.

Hydrological investigations and instrumentation in a small watershed in Garhwal Himalayas - A research report by the National Institute of Hydrology
The report presents the preliminary results of a hydrological study in Danda watershed in Tehri-Garhwal, representative of the mountainous sub-humid agro-ecological region. Posted on 29 Jun, 2010 07:47 PM

The report presents the preliminary results of a hydrological study in Danda watershed, a small hilly watershed located in Tehri-Garhwal, representative of the mountainous sub-humid agro-ecological region in the western Himalayas.

Determination of snow and ice melt factors in the Himalayan region through field investigations – A research report by National Institute of Hydrology
The study computes degree-day factor for snow and ice over the Dokriani glacier (4000 m altitude) in Garhwal Himalayas. Posted on 26 Jun, 2010 11:16 PM

The study computes degree-day factor for snow and ice over the Dokriani glacier (4000 m altitude) in Garhwal Himalayas. The effect of natural dusting on degree-day factor is also examined. Information on the degree-day factor for snow and ice is required for the estimation of snow and ice melt runoff from a glacierized basin.
