A perspective of watershed development in the central Himalayan state of Uttarakhand – A paper by Himmotthan Pariyojana

This paper by Malavika Chauhan of Himmotthan Pariyojana in the International Journal of Ecology and Environmental Sciences discusses the evolution of watershed development projects and their implementation in the central Himalayan state of Uttarakhand. It traces the historical growth of thinking on watershed in the region, and highlights issues and influences. Impacts and benefits are discussed in relation to sustainability. The review shows that success in these projects is usually isolated, mostly seen in small micro-watersheds with naturally good water harvesting conditions.

Study of soil moisture movement and recharge to groundwater using tritium tagging techniques in Saharanpur - A research report by National Institute of Hydrology

The present study aims to estimate the soil moisture movement and recharge to groundwater in Saharanpur due to monsoon rains through the unsaturated porous media in case of cultivated and uncultivated fields. Artificial radioisotope was injected at two uncultivated and five cultivated sites before the onset of monsoon and soil samples were collected from the injection points after the rainy season.Read More

Adsorption of zinc in bed sediments of river Ganga - A research report by National Institute of Hydrology

The study attempts to determine the adsorption characteristics of bed sediments of rivers for the control of metal pollution. In particular, it looks at adsorption of zinc ions on bed sediments for the river Ganga at Hardwar. In the natural conditions of river water, suspended loads and sediments have an important function of buffering higher metal concentrations of water, particularly by adsorption or precipitation.
