The study investigates the application of time series methods for identification of trends and subsequent forecasting of groundwater levels in few blocks of Sagar District, which faces severe water scarcity owing to declining ground water levels.

Meandering phenomena takes place over an alluvial plane due to fluvial hydraulic forces, influence of gravity and sediment transport. For an alluvial channel, the resistance offered by the bed and bank varies with the bed material and saturation level of the bank-material and as such as the probability of bed load movement depends on the mobilizing force at initial bed condition. In the present study, a Physical Model has been developed considering Froude similitude.

Use of statistical morphometric analysis for the purpose and requirement of other disciplines may be far from the ground reality as it may be superfluous without corroboration by proper understanding of geology and geomorphology in the study. The present study attempts at the realization of such interpretations by considering drainage chracteristics of twenty sub-basins of Pariyat watershed located in Jabalpur district of Madhya Pradesh in Central India.

Among several salt lakes in the Thar Desert of western India, the Sambhar is the largest lake producing about 2 9 105 tons of salt (NaCl) annually.

Plans to bulldoze an Indian mountain sacred to local people were controversial enough... before shareholder data revealed that a raft of UK household names, ranging from Jaguar cars to the Church of England, own shares in the company behind the mine, Vedanta Resources plc.

Geomorphologically, the mighty Brahmaputra River system flows over the Quaternary sediments. This is a cause of concern because of its location in an abundant monsoon regime within an active seismogenic volume. Since time immemorial, the Brahmaputra has continued to wreck havoc through repeated floods year after year.

As the monsoon retreats and the flood waters recede, the flood bank and bed of the River Dikrong in Itanagar, Arunachal Pradesh becomes a humming ground of the human activities. Temporary labour tents or huts, crusher machines, movement of trucks and other vehicles all along the length and breadth become the state of affairs in the river.

Anthropogenic pollution of shallow groundwater resources due to industrial activities is becoming a cause of concern in the east coastal belt of the state of Tamil Nadu, India. Integrated hydrogeological, geophysical and tracer studies were carried out in the coastal region encompassing an industrial complex.

A group of 36 coral islands is being scattered in the Arabian Sea off the western coast of India. On such islands, groundwater is the only source of fresh water for the islanders. The demand for groundwater is increasing every year due to growing population and urbanization. On the other side the peculiar hydrologic, geologic and geomorphic features restrict the availability of groundwater.

bauxite mining Vietnam opens door to China Vietnam has invited a Chinese company to mine a massive bauxite reserve beneath its Central Highlands, despite growing opposition to mining and a deep-rooted suspicion of China. Deputy Industry Minister Le Duong Quang said the state-owned Vietnam National Coal would go ahead with a US $460 million venture with a subsidiary of China
