The present study aims to identify the potential habitat for swamp deer (Cervus duvauceli duvauceli Cuvier) in Jhilmil Jheel Conservation Reserve in the Uttarakhand province of India using multi-criteria analysis. The study
area represents one of the last remnant habitats of the flagship species, the swamp deer in Uttarakhand, which is considered
as vulnerable. The study showed that only 6.08% of the study area (225 km2) was highly suitable to suitable for the swamp deer. An area of 135.52 km2 (60.23%) turned out to be moderately suitable. Within the officially designated Conservation Reserve (area 37.84 km2), 10.91% (4.13 km2) area was found highly suitable to suitable, while 74.19% (28.07 km2) happens to be moderately suitable. Only 14 km2 area, which was found as suitable habitat for swamp deer falls short of the space required by a population of 134 animals.
The problem could be mitigated if the agricultural land (2.47 km2) adjacent to the Jhilmil Jheel is brought under the Reserve management. This would provide additional area to meet the fodder
requirement. The study brings out a particularly grim situation with limited options for conservation and management of the
swamp deer in the Indo-Gangetic plains. It also emphasizes the role of geospatial techniques in quick appraisal of habitat
attributes and identification of potential sites for protected areas. 相似文献

The upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) process is reported to be a sustainable technology for domestic wastewaters treatment in developing countries and for small communities. However, the inability of UASB process to meet the desired disposal standards has given enough impetus for subsequent post treatment. In order to upgrade the UASB based sewage treatment plants (STPs) to achieve desired effluent quality for disposal or for reuse, various technological options are available and broadly differentiated as primary post-treatment for the removal of organic and inorganic compounds and suspended matter; secondary post-treatment for the removal of hardly degradable soluble matter, colloidal and nutrients; and polishing systems for removals of pathogens. Hence, this paper discusses the different systems for the treatment of UASB reactor effluent treating sewage. Additionally, a comparative review, an economic evaluation of some of the emerging options was conducted and based on the extensive review of different integrated combination, i.e. UASB-different aerobic systems, a treatment concept based on natural biological mineralization route recognized as an advanced technology to meet all practical aspects to make it a sustainable for environmental protection, resource preservation and recovering maximum resources. 相似文献

The Thar Desert of western India is known for its rich and ancient culture system and traditions. The communities have long
been part of the Thar Desert ecosystem and have evolved specific strategies to live in harmony with its hostile environment.
This culture has provided several miracle plants of immense food and medicinal value to modern civilisation. The ancient rural
livelihood knowledge system reflects time-tested techno-scientific knowledge with a proven track record of sustainability,
especially during natural hazards like drought and famines. In addition, several of the traditional skills of local communities
in arts and crafts, music and instruments have made modern man aware of the art and techniques of sustainably utilising local
biological resources and preserving their biodiversity along with using waste products of the forests, without harming the
desert ecosystem. Traditional cultural and socio-religious values are fast dwindling under the impact of materialistic approach,
industrialisation and development. This paper endeavours to illustrate the need to assist and propagate indigenous rural livelihood
systems rather than mindlessly replace or abandon them as a result of state bureaucracies. 相似文献

To keep pace with population and economic growth, the city of Hyderabad, India, will need to identify and develop new supply
sources almost continually. Increasing population growth rate, declining surface water resources, overexploitation of groundwater,
deterioration of ground water quality and poor sewage treatment are the major water-related issues in Hyderabad. This paper
reviews the current situation facing policy makers who need to come to terms with the problem of restricted water supply and
increasing demand in an urban centre such as Hyderabad, India. The City Water Balance model developed in this study can be
used to analyse different scenarios that include water conservation, urban wastewater reuse and improvement of distribution
and conveyance efficiency. Water conservation programs, which include a 5% conveyance efficiency improvement, reusing 90 million
cubic metres (MCM) of urban runoff and adoption of water harvesting by 0.5 million households together with recycling 120
MCM of wastewater recycling wastewater would be sufficient to meet the water demand by 2031, if the population grows at a
rate of 2.5%. 相似文献

Gomti river receives industrial as well as domestic wastes from various drains of Lucknow city. In the process the water and sediment of the river Gomti get contaminated with heavy metals and other pollutants. In the present study, impacts of domestic/industrial wastes on the water and sediment chemistry of river Gomti with special reference to heavy metals have been investigated in different seasons (summer, winter and rainy). For this, seven sampling sites: Gaughat, Mohan Meakin, Martyrs Memorial, Hanuman Setu, Nishatganj bridge, Pipraghat and Malhaur, in the river Gomti in Lucknow region were identified and samples of water and sediments were collected in all the three seasons. In the collected water and sediment samples, six metals (Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb, and Zn) were analyzed on ICP-AES (Inductively coupled plasma emission spectroscopy) Labtam Plasmalab 8440. High concentrations of all the metals were noticed in water and sediment in rainy season compared to summer and winter. Because in rainy season runoff from open contaminated sites, agricultural field and industries, directly comes into the river without any treatment. In both the cases, the concentration of zinc was maximum (0.091 g/ml in water and 182.13 g/g in sediment) and the concentration of cadmium (0.001 g/ml in water and 17.26 g/g in sediment) was minimum. Higher concentration of metal in water and sediment during rainy season could be due to the industrial/agricultural/domestic runoff coming into the river. 相似文献
