Chottaudepur is a tribal dominated taluka‚ with 86.5% categorized as Schedule tirbes‚ located in eastern hilly tracts of Vadodara District of Gujarat State‚ India. Inspite of recent trend of deforestation large part of the taluka is still under forest. The forest areas of Chhota Udepur play important hydrological and ecological role downstream regions as it forms catchments for Orsang‚ a major tributary of Narmada river. The forests form the southern most boundary of Ratanmahals Wildlife Sanctuary

Once known as the number one agricultural county in the nation‚ Los Angeles County houses nearly 10 million residents. This means the demand for consumable water is high‚ and with this demand comes depletion. Many areas of the Central and West Coast Basins are experiencing ground water depletion‚ which has resulted in an intrusion of saltwater in coastal aquifers‚ “natural filters that trap sediment and other particles (like bacteria) and provide natural purification of the ground water flowing through

4.5 Environmental Assessment: Forest Road Surface and Ditches Network One of the main objectives of this study is to investigate some intensity road characteristics based on ZEB1 LiDAR data. These intensity characteristics are the area with construction problems and the extent of the ditches network. As road construction problems here we consider the peaks and the depressions on the road surface that affect the transportation. In order to evaluate the flatness of the road surface we can make use

Save water‚ save life Water is necessary for life. Water is needed for domestic‚ agricultural and industrial purposes. Three-fourth of Earth ’s surface is covered by water bodies. 97 per cent of this water is present in oceans as salt water and is unfit for human consumption. Fresh water accounts for only about 2.7 per cent. Nearly 70 per cent of this occurs as ice sheets and glaciers n Antarctica and other inaccessible places. Only one per cent of fresh water is available and fit for human use

The typical hydraulic regime and flow characteristics of each reservoir were other key factors considered during criteria development. The relationship between water quality‚ biomass accumulation‚ and hydraulic residence time (or retention time)‚ which is the average amount of time required to completely renew a reservoir’s water volume‚ was taken into account when establishing the chlorophyll a criteria. For example‚ reservoirs associated with “run-of-the-river” dams typically have small hydraulic
