Urban Solid Waste Management (USWM) is most problematic and neglected aspect of Indian Cities The
high population growth and industrialization put strain on the basic infrastructural and municipal services The
Government local self governments make their best efforts to provide all basic amenities and services for meet the
demand of poses challenge before the administration for managing the huge quantity of waste generated by this large
size of population The solid waste generation is a continually growing problem at global regional and local levels
The solid waste is those organic and inorganic waste materials which are produced by various activities of the society
As a result there is considerable increase in MSW (municipal solid waste) generation in India during last few decades
In urban areas particularly in highly urbanized areas of the developing world problems and issues of municipal solid
waste management (MSWM) deserve immediate attention The present study aims at providing an overview of the
existing solid waste management practices in Chandigarh a top tier II city in India and suggests solutions to some of
the major problems being faced by the existing system An average of 400-500 tonsday of solid waste is generated in
Chandigarh municipal corporation area Chandigarh is the first city in India developed in a planned manner which has
helped in developing a comparatively better solid waste management in comparison to other Indian cities The present
study focus on existing waste management practices and it will recommend some suggestions for better management

Rural Development
Ms Priyanka Saini Jayoti Vidyapeeth Womenrsquos University Jaipur
Rural development can be defined as ldquoan integrated development of the area and the people through optimum
development and utilization of local resources-physical biological and human and by bringing about necessary
institutional structural and attitudinal changes of rural publicrdquoRural development means noticeable changes in all
these components But such changes should take place in a mutually supporting relationship so as to generate organic
and optimum development Organic development is one which maintains a healthy relationship among the various
elements or components of a system The concept of rural development was born in the context of agriculture and for
a long time it encompassed agricultural development Since 1970rsquos the concept has become more definite in its
interpretation and it is being regarded as a design to improve the economic and social life especially by extending
benefits of development to the poorest small farmers tenants and landless
Now rural development is not exclusively restricted to any single activity or area it travels many or all areas
which anyway affect upgrading enlisting and petrifying improvement of transformation in socio-economic lives of
rural 51 people Rural development means overall improvement of die quality of life for rural people It is about
reduction of poverty increasing productivity providing basic services like health education drinking water
sanitation extending infrastructure attempt to reverse distorted land distribution and ownership and host of other
aspects redressing inequality exploitation and deprivation in any conceivable sense Rural development as a concept
for planning and executing changes in rural areas is based on the assumption that production increases and social
improvements are not mutually exclusive but on the contrary are mutually strengthening The relation between the
two is complemented so heavily that development on one front cannot proceed beyond a point without a simultaneous
or prior change in the other Another trend in rural development is the special emphasis on the weaker sections of the
society ie the rural poor not merely for improving their level of living but also to bring about a greater degree of
their involvement in the development process Rural development is the ultimate analysis which involves the
provision of opportunities for optimum utilization of human resources in rural areas Human resource development in
its turn can take place only if there is adequate nutrition and working opportunities available for the rural masses

A Geo-Spatial Study of Urban Environment with special reference to Land Surface Temperature and
Normalized Difference Vegetation Index in Delhi India
National Conference on ldquoMethods amp Applications of Geospatial Technology in Sustainable Developmentrdquo

Dr Sandesh Yadav Freelance Researcher and Alumni Dept of Geography Jamia Millia Islamia New Delhi
Cities are characterized by the rapid urban growth and regeneration process Consequently the land use and
land cover have been altered considerably which in lieu affected the urban environment Urban environment is a
complex entity and any sort of alteration in the urban environment makes the modern urban life unsustainable These
alterations in urban environment require changes both in lifestyle and infrastructure The expansion of Grey
infrastructure and shrinking vegetation cover have induced micro-climatic changes such as heat wave intensification
intensified urban heat island effect and winter warming effect in the study area The dominance of Grey infrastructure
means impermeable surface which affected local heat budget through increased land surface temperature Further less
vegetation cover failed to regulate temperature through cooling effect of evapo-transpiration The present research
study carries out the Geo-spatial analysis of land surface temperature and normalized difference vegetation index for
the period 1990-2015 in the study area The present research is an attempt to trace out reduction in cropland during the
period 1990-2015 in Delhi The satellite data used include Landsat- 45 (TM) Landsat -7 (ETM+) and Landsat ndash 8
(OLI) for three different time periods 1990 2000 and 2015 respectively Moreover suitable statistical techniques have
been used to conduct the present research study

Climate Change and its present day scenario
Rajwinder Singh Assistant Professor Isharjyot Degree College Pehowa
Climate change is an ever going process of nature nothing remained stable in the history of the earth weather
it is its landforms oceans and nor does its climate remained stable at all the time Today the major concern is about
the climate change that we are facing the rate of change has been accelerated in the past few decades Today
Anthropogenic factors are the biggest contributors for the emission of greenhouse gases globally July 2019 was the
hottest month ever recorded on the earth which clearly indicates how worse the situation is This changing scenario
will have its adverse effect For example the rate of forest fires will increase availability and quality of water will also
deteriorate in future On the whole climate change will have an adverse effect on every sphere of life like Agriculture
Forestry Biodiversity water as well as health

Air Pollution By Stubble Burning and Its Impact
Basant Singh
The paper presents the major environment issue regarding air pollution due to stubble burning in Haryana
Haryana lies in indo Gangetic plain The fertile land is good for extensive farming In Haryana paddy and wheat
production is higher than other farming These farming generate a huge amount of agricultural wastes in the form of
stubble The farmer is using fire to remove the stubble Burning of stubble released various Gaseous in the atmosphere
such as Carbon dioxside (co2) carbon monoxide(co)Methane (CH4) Nitrogen oxide(No) and sulphur oxside (sox) as
well as huge quantity of particulate Matter (PM10) and 25 microns or less (PM25) These gaseous causing negative
impact on human health and Global warming The management of crop residue is much important to reduce air
pollution The government takes action to solve the problem of stubble burning or make policies

there is a fluctuation in the land use pattern of the state It further analysed that the advent of modern means of
technology influenced the behaviour and thinking ability of farmers towards the use of land It is observed that
western part of the study region share the more land under the category of barren land culturable wasteland and
fallow land as compare to northern and eastern region throughout the study period It is also found that developed
irrigation facilities development of infrastructure etc are responsible for the modification in the physical
environment and this leads to change in the overall land use pattern The present study is based on secondary sources
of data Twenty years averages are drawn from 1970-71 to 2016-17 Simple statistical methods are used for deriving
the results and cartographic techniques are applied for mapping the results

Flood as disaster results in large scale loss of life and property in the Kosi-Mahananda Doab region of Bihar
Though frequent flood events in Kosi-river have made it lsquoSorrow of Biharrsquo but administrative machinery worked
inefficiently and proved failure in mitigation of flood as disaster in the study area The poor implementation of
management policy poor involvement of local bodies and community-based organizations (CBOs) and weak
participation of local government and unsustainable and uneconomic mobilization of resource are major key issues
resulting in improper and inefficient management plan to mitigate flood as disaster Administrative machinery and
prevailing red tapism results in discrimination in survey delay in relief poor monitoring and evaluation poor
representation lackadaisical attitude of concerned departments The present research article investigates various
factors responsible for administrative crisis and inefficient disaster management plan related to floods in Kosi-
Mahananda doab region Further recommendations and suggestions have been made to improve mitigation measures
of flood in the study area

Origin and History of Women Self Help Groups in India on Rural Development
Dr K Rani Lakshmi Professor amp Dean FHSS IASE Deemed To Be University
In 1976 Prof Mohammed Yunus of Bangladesh started womenrsquos groups in Bangladesh and developed
thrift and savings among the poorest Self Help Group is a novel mechanism and the brainchild of Mohd Yunus a
Noble Prize Winner of 2006 in Bangladesh Now it has developed into a bank named Bangladesh Grameen Bank Its
report in February 1998 states that the bank has 1138 branches and covers 39572 villages It has 2367503 members of
which only 124571 are men With the success of BGB and similar organisations elsewhere the concept of Micro
credit has gained momentum in India Based on this success many Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) in our
country are involved in organising Self Help Groups and they serve as an agent between the bank and the poor Self
Help Groups play today a major role in poverty alleviation in rural India A growing number of poor people (mostly
women) in various parts of India are members of Self Help Groups and actively engage in savings and credit as well
as in other activities like income generation natural resources management literacy child care and nutrition etc The
Self Help Group system has proven to be very relevant and effective in offering women the possibility to break

Dr Ghanashyam Deka Assistant Professor Department of Geography Pachhunga University Mizoram
Tourism is considered as one of the largest service industry in the world In Indian economy tourism is
playing significant role to upgrade the development and raising the gross domestic product The tourism sector
becomes increasingly important in national development North-Eastern state are very fortunate and one of the most
potential region in India to attract tourists Uniqueness of the region physical and cultural diversities can attract huge
numbers of visitors and ultimately generate income from them Though this region is counted as one of the backward
regions it has potentialities for future development Tourism sector will be the suitable for that However this sector
necessitates formulation of sustainable tourism strategy so that it can be utilized as a tool for regional development
Being a hilly state Mizoram is always attracting tourists from different parts of the country The state has potential of
adventure and rural tourism Apart from that with its cultural and ethnic uniqueness the state can attract a lot of
tourists to each of the isolated village situated in the hilltop Already the state government declared tourism as an
industry under its development policies Festivals like Anthurium Chapchar Kut are now well know and attracting
few thousands of tourists every year Anthurium festival is becoming the good earning source for the villagers in
Reiek This paper is an attempt to study the role of tourism in rural development in light of Anthurium

Water is primary part of life and essential for human life It is play a major role in human being even we can
say in biotic organism life Human body made with the help of 60 water It can be said water is life itself Without
water no field of human activity is complete Today human is using water resources very badly for own benefit The
ground water decline continuously is a very thinking and understandable an issue There is not state government
responsible but local people also As like people blame on government the decline of ground water is result of
agriculture model and polices of government The ground water level of district Sangrur is continuously decline
Which is a very serious issue This issue can be seen in association with climate chance If this continues the day is
not far when District of Sangrur will be completely transformed into a desert

Urban areas are suffering from excess hotness in summer mainly due to congested built-up structures The
problem became peculiar for cities located in hot arid conditions such as Hisar in Haryana (India) A continuous
surface of Land Surface Temperature (LST) can be extracted from Landsat thermal bands Similarly different band
combinations and ratios give a spatial pattern of land cover categories Spatiotemporal pattern of temperature in and
around the Hisar city was analyzed in the present study to assess the spatial variation in temperature in the area
Landsat TM images of May 2000 and 2016 were utilized to study the spatial-temporal thermal variations and their
relationships with land cover changes in Hisar city and surrounding area which experienced rapid urbanization in past
decades Land cover classifications were derived to quantify area-specific variations and brightness temperatures were
computed from the TM thermal data to express the urban thermal environment The spatial distributions of surface
temperature indicated that thermal variations had been largely broadened and showed good agreements with a change
in land use and land cover Temperature statistics of main land cover types indicated that built-up and bare land had
higher surface temperatures than natural land covers The findings indicated that the warming effect caused by
urbanization ie mainly where the natural landscape was replaced by urban areas

house gases in the atmosphere resulting in global warming Thus it is obvious that the environmental degradation
process unless detected early and action taken to arrest or mitigate may lead to further deterioration and may affect
sustainable development efforts which is key concern in Agenda 21 Sustainable development of natural resources
refers to maintaining a fragile balance between productivity functions and conservation practices through
identification and monitoring of problem areas and calls for optimal utilization of available natural resources based on
their potentials and limitations while maintaining a good harmony with the environment Information on the nature
extent spatial distribution along with the potentials and limitations of natural resources is a pre-requisite to achieve
the goals of sustainable development By virtue of providing synoptic view of fairly large area at a regular interval
spaceborne multispectral measurements hold great promise in generating reliable information on various natural
resources namely soils mineral surface and ground water forest cover marine resources in a timely and cost-
effective manner Geographic Information System (GIS) offers an ideal environment for integrating spatial and
attribute data on natural resources and environment and for subsequent generation of optimal land use plan on a
micro-watershed basis Furthermore Global Positioning System (GPS) enables making precise in situ measurements
on various terrain parameters which are used for both generating baseline as well as derivative information on natural

Disasters are not random and do not occur by accident They are the convergence of hazards and vulnerable
conditions ie disasters take place when hazards meet vulnerable situations Natural hazards such as fires floods
earthquakes and drought are part of the natural cycles of the earth When such hazards impact on vulnerable societies-
whether it is an earthquake that collapses buildings or a drought that kills crops-that society may face a catastrophic
situation requiring emergency relief and assistance to save lives and to protect the environment Natural disasters can
have a life-altering impact on the individuals families and society and at the same time the effect of natural disasters
can be felt at the community city and state level or many times these may have an impact on entire country The
impact of disasters whether it is natural or man-made not only have human dimensions but environmental ones as
well Deforestation forest management practices agriculture systems etc can exacerbate the negative environmental

impacts of a storm leading to landslides flooding silting and groundsurface water contamination Disasters create
substantial environmental degradation and ecological imbalance hinder socio-economic development and retard the
process of improving the quality of the life of people The interaction of disasters and environment has both short-term
and long-term effects These interaction and interdependencies work in a complicated way and in turn affect people
ecosystem and bio-diversity Environmental vulnerability includes the extent of natural resource depletion reduced
access to clean air safe water sanitation and inappropriate forms of waste management especially in heavily
populated and urban environments that can aggravate socio economic vulnerability Poor environmental conditions
such as diminished biodiversity soil degradation or growing food scarcity can easily threaten food security for people
dependent on the products of land forests pastures and marine environment for their livelihoods Around the globe
land use and land cover changes are eroding the natural buffers that protect communities from hazard risk These same
changes often erode capacity of people to recover from disaster However there are several opportunities to reduce
disaster risk and enhance community resilience A comprehensive understanding of natural systems coupled with the
application of management tools such as environmental evaluation and risk assessment can make a major contribution
to the reduction of risks and mitigation of any impacts There is also a need to explore the link between environmental
systems amp disasters and also the synergies between man-made and natural disasters Changing ecological conditions
can provoke emergencies by placing concurrent stresses on the environment Mitigating the effects of disasters are
primary components in global efforts to ensure environmental security It is clear that further co-ordination and co-
operation on environmental matters depends on the ability of global community to set an environmental agenda for
disaster management and in particular to pay attention to the environmental conditions that lead to disasters and to
natural resource management for disaster prevention and reduction

Eco-friendly means not harmful to our system of environment ie not harmful to land air etc Presently due
to agriculture mainly a lot of pollutants are added day by day in our environment Because of these pollutants the soil
fertility is decreasing the fear of disease in living beings are increasing a lot of poisons chemicals and gases prevails
in the environment There is a great need to the use such a cropping system which is suitable to environment ie Eco-
friendly system of cropping The Eco-friendless of cropping system may be viewed from two different angles ie
systems which help in soil and water conservation and system which reduce the use of pesticides insecticides
herbicides organic fertilizers As far as the pesticides use is concerned at national level it is a still for below the
alarming proportions Inclusion of such crops in the cropping systems in problem areas can play a significant role in
minimizing the use of agro-chemicals in the crop production
In Haryana the use of fertilizer is increasing at a very high rate The use of fertilizers (N P K) has increased
1963 times in 2017-18 from 1970-71 The use of pesticides was also increased from 976 times in 2017-18 from
1970-71 ie from 013 tonne to 057 tonnes per hectare in 2017-18 from 1970-71 But the production of food-grain in
the year 2016-17 increases only 379 times of production in 1970-71 Similarly the average yield of important crops
in Haryana shows a little increase It may be concluded that the consumption of fertilizer and pesticides are increasing
at very high rate as compared to the production of the crops

Earthquake is a tectonic event which is causedthrough the internal pressure released by the earth in the form
of seismic waves Earthquake reveals all other catastrophic events that pose threat to human life and property It is the
most hazardous phenomenon on the earth which has an impact on a very large area leading to deaths injuries and
other socio-economic and physical damage The influence of the earthquake depends mainly on its magnitude place
and time of occurrence Earthquakes can also create other hazards like volcanoes landslides and tsunamis
Approximately 30000 seismic tremors transpire each year in the world Out of these few earthquakes are of so low
magnitude that we cannot feel them while some are of high magnitude thereby causing lots of deaths and damages
The damage caused by the earthquakes depends on the three factors ie depth of the seismic focus the intensity of the
earthquake and itrsquos time of occurrenceNorthwestern Himalayan region lies in the subduction zone between the
Eurasian and Indian plate margins therefore it becomes more vulnerable to the earthquake hazard The region lies in
IV and V seismic zones which is very active In the present study an attempt has been made to analyze the spatial

spending some time on environment issues and third people are interested in information on ecological issues
provided by media so that they view or listen to the corresponding program as well as read newspaper articles or other
written publications dealing with environmental issues Television print news radio broadcast and the internet are
enlisted to help promote a ldquogreen ldquoethic and raise environmental awareness
Mass media play an important role for creating environment awareness among people These daysrsquo climate
change issues are getting the highest priority and making the headlines in print and electronic media Government and
the people depend on communication and mass Media not only for disseminating information but also in setting
agenda for the development and other allied activities
Media has the power of focusing the factor that causes environmental problems as well as adverse impacts on
people Media acts as a catalyst in enlightening the masses on issues related to climate change A section of the media
has drawn our attention on several environmental issues like Ganga River action plan chipko movement Narmada
Bachavo Andolan and Appiko movement were kept alive mainly by the coverage in various media
Media can play a great role in communication of the natural disaster of region media certain characteristics that make
them powerful instruments of disaster Communication as they provide quick and easy access to large numbers of
people located at different places It helps in highlighting the problem and difficulties faced by the people affected by
disaster
Through communication members of society share their experiences and knowledge understands each other
and generates collective wisdom Today various types of mass media enable people all over the world to interact and
learn from each other at a tremendous pace Communication with the help of mass media not only brings people but
also communities together Thus contracting the globe into the village The environment and media research

Application of Remote Sensing In Geography
Dr Pratap Singh Rajput Guest Lecturer Govt College Sarni Betul MP
Remote sensing in geology is remote sensing used in the geological sciences as a data acquisition method
complementary to field observation because it allows mapping of geological characteristics of regions without
physical contact with the areas being explored About one-fourth of the Earths total surface area is exposed land
where information is ready to be extracted from detailed earth observation via remote sensing Remote sensing is
conducted via detection of electromagnetic radiation by sensors The radiation can be naturally sourced (passive
remote sensing) or produced by machines (active remote sensing) and reflected off of the Earth surface The
electromagnetic radiation acts as an information carrier for two main variables First the intensities of reflectance at
different wavelengths are detected and plotted on a spectral reflectance curve This spectral fingerprint is governed by
the physio-chemical properties of the surface of the target object and therefore helps mineral identification and hence
geological mapping for example by hyper spectral Second the two-way travel time of radiation from and back to the
sensor can calculate the distance in active remote sensing systems for example Interferometric synthetic-aperture
radar This helps geomorphologic studies of ground motion and thus can illuminate deformations associated
with landslides earthquakes etc Remote sensing data can help studies involving geological mapping geological
hazards and economic geology (ie exploration for minerals petroleum etc) These geological studies commonly
employ a multitude of tools classified according to short to long wavelengths of the electromagnetic radiation which
various instruments are sensitive to Shorter wavelengths are generally useful for site characterization up to
mineralogical scale while longer wavelengths reveal larger scale surface information eg regional thermal anomalies
surface roughness etc Such techniques are particularly beneficial for exploration of inaccessible areas and planets
other than Earth

reducing per capita water availability the decline in groundwater table in many areas and saltwater
intrusion in coastal aquifers The quality of surface water and groundwater is also deteriorating because of
increasing pollutant loads from various sources Climate change may also adversely affect the availability
and distribution of water resources This article presents an overview of relevant issues pertaining to
development and management of water resources in India

Environmental Impacts of Natural Disasters
Tek Chand Student of PU Patiala
It is recognized that many significant nonmarket effects result from natural disasters including environmental
impacts Though our committee had a keen interest in these topics it became clear that these impactsmdashthough often
significantmdashdid not fit easily with this studys main report and conclusions for the following reasons (1) not all
disasters result in significant ecosystem impacts (eg many earthquakes have but minor impacts on ecosystems) (2)
some extreme events have positive impacts on ecosystems (eg floods can help rejuvenate floodplain vegetation and
are important drivers of many ecological processes in floodplains) and (3) these impacts are mainly nonmarket and
are exceptionally difficult to quantify andor monetize Though there are emerging efforts in quantifying and
monetizing ecosystem services (Costanza 1997) they are in their infancy and are not yet widely accepted
Nonetheless the magnitude of the environmental impacts of many disasters compelled the committee to discuss them
and we do so in this Appendix Though no specific recommendations regarding how environmental costs should be
incorporated in loss estimates we provide here we encourage policymakers in the relevant executive branch agencies

to devote more attention and perhaps research to these issues It is important in assessing environmental impacts to
distinguish between impacts of disasters on the natural environment from those on the human-made landscape
environment As mentioned events that societies label as natural disasters may also have beneficial ecological
consequences However these benefits tend to only manifest themselves months or years after an extreme event (eg
rejuvenation of a coniferous forest months andor years after fires) or are often not readily apparent (eg recharging
of groundwater stocks after a flood) These benefits to ecological systems are of course typically overshadowed by
immediate negative impacts on societies and structures hence the use of the term natural disasters

Soils are derived from parent rock material through the process of break-up wear and tear Soil is our prime
natural and economic resource because we derive everything that we need in our life from the soil It is the soil that
provides food both for humans and animals Soil is the most valuable wealth of the country on which the prosperity
and total agricultural products is based There are various factors such as parent material vegetation climate and slope
which affect the formation of soil The change in any one of these factors cause a change in soil types and soil
character
An intimate knowledge of soil is a prerequisite for all agricultural operations and planning The role of soil is
of paramount importance in Hisar district where it provides livelihood to 70 of the total population The Hisar
district soils have developed under the arid and humid climate over the bedrocks of complex nature predominantly
under the process of laterization The present paper deals with the various types of soil of Hisar district It also
investigates the major soil problems in the study area

Disaster Prevention and Management in India
Om Prakash Choyal Kuchaman PG College Rajasthan
India is one of the hazard prone countries in South Asia Floods droughts landslides snowstorms hurricanes
and cyclones occur regularly Among these earthquakes floods and drought risk are extremely high These hazards
threaten millions of lives and cause large scale financial infrastructure agriculture and productivity losses that
seriously hinder Indiarsquos overall development In India the primary responsibility for responding to disaster lies at the
state and the central level The GOI have a national emergency plan for disaster management some of the state also
has a disaster management plan It can be and is called upon to assist when necessary but there is a lack of awareness
in the public Many Indian States have limited resources and lack their own disaster management plans Considering
these problems this paper attempts to throw light on a more integrated and responsive disaster management system in
India This paper will provide important information in three mutually reinforcing areas viz disaster preparedness
response and rehabilitation management The various case studies for disaster management will be discussed

a vital role in agriculture production Integrated water management is vital for poverty reduction environmental
sustenance and sustainable economic development In view of the rapid increase in population urbanization and
industrialization the demand for water for meeting various requirements is continuously increasing Therefore we are
facing numerous challenges in the water sector which include reducing per capita water availability the decline in
groundwater table in many areas and saltwater intrusion in coastal aquifers The quality of surface water and
groundwater is also deteriorating because of increasing pollutant loads from various sources Climate change may also
adversely affect the availability and distribution of water resources This article presents an overview of relevant

Water resource Management and Landform Anomalies in Foothills of Siwaliks
Dr Arti Singh Researcher Society for Application Research and Consultancy (SC) New Delhi
The learning present an perceptive of landforms and its characteristics for water resource management in the
Foothills of siwaliks the study area forming a mountain ecosystem of the lesser Himalayas represents a part of the
Siwaliks extending between 30deg 19rsquo N and 77deg 35rsquo E from the Badshahibagh Rao and 30deg 11rsquo N and 77deg 55rsquo E the
Mohand Rao rivers The study focuses on various landforms found in the study area and its relation with the water
resource It is well known that the Practical and philosophical impediments are upsetting modern attempts to achieve a
satisfying understanding of landforms and their genesis In recent years spatial application has made this study a much
interesting and knowledgeable The present paper focuses the water Resource study of Mohand area in Lower siwaliks
with the application of remote sensing and GIS as a tool It is found the piedmont zone is a good recharge zone for
water The scarcity of water is mainly with the streams along all the major rivers especially in the areas of structural
and denudo structural hills of the upper and middle portion of the study area The barkala fan area can play a vital role
as a main source of water recharge with the rain water harvesting techniques Different thematic layers are prepared
using remote sensing and GIS for the assessment of water resources status The union coverage of land use land

cover geology geomorphology soil and slope status maps have been incorporated in the Arc GIS environment as
input coverage The existing water resource classes have been reclassified according to the criterion statement five
classes of water resources can be regrouped into three classes such as good moderate and poor status of water
resources in the study area Overall results show that nearly 60 of the geographical area has good and moderate
resources Another major part of poor resource areas need to be reclaimed to restore and improve its resource status
The method used is incorporation of DEM of study area to see the major anomalies of study area and its role in overall
water resource management in the piedmont Some dugwells of the area is estimated with measurements (in mts) for
the better results Finally the conclusion shows that there is a comparative role of geomorphology and landform for
water resource management in the area therefore Resource management planning strategy has been suggested

Application of Geospatial Analysis in the Study of Water Borne Disease
1 Amritpal Singh Research Scholar Dept of Geography Central University of Punjab Bathinda
2 Dr LT Sasang Guite Assistant Professor Dept of Geography Central University of Punjab
Geographic Information System (GIS) is considered as ldquoautomated systems used for capturing store retrieve
analyze and to display spatial datardquo (Clarke etal 1996) This tool is helpful in analyzing relationships between
location environment and incidences When looking into applicability of GIS both water-borne diseases and vector-
borne diseases are widely investigated topics at global level In the present scenario GIS has an ability to identify
location of specific diseases and their spatial unusual aggregation which can help different health agencies so that they
can provide facilities and prevent further growth of incidents1
The health geography is concerned with two fundamental questions that are revolves around (i) when and
where specific disease tend to occur and why specific pattern of incidence do occur In these directions substantial
growth has been found during the last decade whereas concept of ldquoplacerdquo plays a very significant role in determining
health of people It is regarded as new perspective to look into how ldquohealthrdquo of people is influence from ldquospacerdquo
(Kwan 2012) In the recent period due to development of modern tools such as Geographic Information System
(GIS) which makes it easier to conduct spatial analysis and modeling at different levels Now with these tools modern
epidemiologist and geographers can do analysis of health both spatially and temporally (Cromley and McLafferty
2011)
Water borne diseases are considered as diseases those emerge due to consumption and ingestion of
contaminated water that may contain pathogenic viruses bacteria protozoa and other chemical substances (UNO
Health Report 2003) These pathogens are transmitted into human body through using contaminated water when
utilize for domestic purposes that may responsible for viral bacteria and parasite related diseases A report by World
Health Organization (2016) on ldquoThe situation of water-related infectious diseases in the pan-European regionrdquo define
water related diseases asany substantial effect on human health such as illness disability disorders and sometime
death due to direct or indirect alteration in the quantity or quality of water2

Urban Solid Waste Management (USWM) is most problematic and neglected aspect of Indian Cities The
high population growth and industrialization put strain on the basic infrastructural and municipal services The
Government local self governments make their best efforts to provide all basic amenities and services for meet the
demand of poses challenge before the administration for managing the huge quantity of waste generated by this large
size of population The solid waste generation is a continually growing problem at global regional and local levels
The solid waste is those organic and inorganic waste materials which are produced by various activities of the society
As a result there is considerable increase in MSW (municipal solid waste) generation in India during last few decades
In urban areas particularly in highly urbanized areas of the developing world problems and issues of municipal solid
waste management (MSWM) deserve immediate attention The present study aims at providing an overview of the
existing solid waste management practices in Chandigarh a top tier II city in India and suggests solutions to some of
the major problems being faced by the existing system An average of 400-500 tonsday of solid waste is generated in
Chandigarh municipal corporation area Chandigarh is the first city in India developed in a planned manner which has
helped in developing a comparatively better solid waste management in comparison to other Indian cities The present
study focus on existing waste management practices and it will recommend some suggestions for better management

Rural Development
Ms Priyanka Saini Jayoti Vidyapeeth Womenrsquos University Jaipur
Rural development can be defined as ldquoan integrated development of the area and the people through optimum
development and utilization of local resources-physical biological and human and by bringing about necessary
institutional structural and attitudinal changes of rural publicrdquoRural development means noticeable changes in all
these components But such changes should take place in a mutually supporting relationship so as to generate organic
and optimum development Organic development is one which maintains a healthy relationship among the various
elements or components of a system The concept of rural development was born in the context of agriculture and for
a long time it encompassed agricultural development Since 1970rsquos the concept has become more definite in its
interpretation and it is being regarded as a design to improve the economic and social life especially by extending
benefits of development to the poorest small farmers tenants and landless
Now rural development is not exclusively restricted to any single activity or area it travels many or all areas
which anyway affect upgrading enlisting and petrifying improvement of transformation in socio-economic lives of
rural 51 people Rural development means overall improvement of die quality of life for rural people It is about
reduction of poverty increasing productivity providing basic services like health education drinking water
sanitation extending infrastructure attempt to reverse distorted land distribution and ownership and host of other
aspects redressing inequality exploitation and deprivation in any conceivable sense Rural development as a concept
for planning and executing changes in rural areas is based on the assumption that production increases and social
improvements are not mutually exclusive but on the contrary are mutually strengthening The relation between the
two is complemented so heavily that development on one front cannot proceed beyond a point without a simultaneous
or prior change in the other Another trend in rural development is the special emphasis on the weaker sections of the
society ie the rural poor not merely for improving their level of living but also to bring about a greater degree of
their involvement in the development process Rural development is the ultimate analysis which involves the
provision of opportunities for optimum utilization of human resources in rural areas Human resource development in
its turn can take place only if there is adequate nutrition and working opportunities available for the rural masses

Cities are characterized by the rapid urban growth and regeneration process Consequently the land use and
land cover have been altered considerably which in lieu affected the urban environment Urban environment is a
complex entity and any sort of alteration in the urban environment makes the modern urban life unsustainable These
alterations in urban environment require changes both in lifestyle and infrastructure The expansion of Grey
infrastructure and shrinking vegetation cover have induced micro-climatic changes such as heat wave intensification
intensified urban heat island effect and winter warming effect in the study area The dominance of Grey infrastructure
means impermeable surface which affected local heat budget through increased land surface temperature Further less
vegetation cover failed to regulate temperature through cooling effect of evapo-transpiration The present research
study carries out the Geo-spatial analysis of land surface temperature and normalized difference vegetation index for
the period 1990-2015 in the study area The present research is an attempt to trace out reduction in cropland during the
period 1990-2015 in Delhi The satellite data used include Landsat- 45 (TM) Landsat -7 (ETM+) and Landsat ndash 8
(OLI) for three different time periods 1990 2000 and 2015 respectively Moreover suitable statistical techniques have

Climate change is an ever going process of nature nothing remained stable in the history of the earth weather
it is its landforms oceans and nor does its climate remained stable at all the time Today the major concern is about
the climate change that we are facing the rate of change has been accelerated in the past few decades Today
Anthropogenic factors are the biggest contributors for the emission of greenhouse gases globally July 2019 was the
hottest month ever recorded on the earth which clearly indicates how worse the situation is This changing scenario
will have its adverse effect For example the rate of forest fires will increase availability and quality of water will also
deteriorate in future On the whole climate change will have an adverse effect on every sphere of life like Agriculture

there is a fluctuation in the land use pattern of the state It further analysed that the advent of modern means of
technology influenced the behaviour and thinking ability of farmers towards the use of land It is observed that
western part of the study region share the more land under the category of barren land culturable wasteland and
fallow land as compare to northern and eastern region throughout the study period It is also found that developed
irrigation facilities development of infrastructure etc are responsible for the modification in the physical
environment and this leads to change in the overall land use pattern The present study is based on secondary sources
of data Twenty years averages are drawn from 1970-71 to 2016-17 Simple statistical methods are used for deriving

thrift and savings among the poorest Self Help Group is a novel mechanism and the brainchild of Mohd Yunus a
Noble Prize Winner of 2006 in Bangladesh Now it has developed into a bank named Bangladesh Grameen Bank Its
report in February 1998 states that the bank has 1138 branches and covers 39572 villages It has 2367503 members of
which only 124571 are men With the success of BGB and similar organisations elsewhere the concept of Micro
credit has gained momentum in India Based on this success many Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) in our
country are involved in organising Self Help Groups and they serve as an agent between the bank and the poor Self
Help Groups play today a major role in poverty alleviation in rural India A growing number of poor people (mostly
women) in various parts of India are members of Self Help Groups and actively engage in savings and credit as well
as in other activities like income generation natural resources management literacy child care and nutrition etc The
Self Help Group system has proven to be very relevant and effective in offering women the possibility to break

Tourism is considered as one of the largest service industry in the world In Indian economy tourism is
playing significant role to upgrade the development and raising the gross domestic product The tourism sector
becomes increasingly important in national development North-Eastern state are very fortunate and one of the most
potential region in India to attract tourists Uniqueness of the region physical and cultural diversities can attract huge
numbers of visitors and ultimately generate income from them Though this region is counted as one of the backward
regions it has potentialities for future development Tourism sector will be the suitable for that However this sector
necessitates formulation of sustainable tourism strategy so that it can be utilized as a tool for regional development
Being a hilly state Mizoram is always attracting tourists from different parts of the country The state has potential of
adventure and rural tourism Apart from that with its cultural and ethnic uniqueness the state can attract a lot of
tourists to each of the isolated village situated in the hilltop Already the state government declared tourism as an
industry under its development policies Festivals like Anthurium Chapchar Kut are now well know and attracting
few thousands of tourists every year Anthurium festival is becoming the good earning source for the villagers in

Urban areas are suffering from excess hotness in summer mainly due to congested built-up structures The
problem became peculiar for cities located in hot arid conditions such as Hisar in Haryana (India) A continuous
surface of Land Surface Temperature (LST) can be extracted from Landsat thermal bands Similarly different band
combinations and ratios give a spatial pattern of land cover categories Spatiotemporal pattern of temperature in and
around the Hisar city was analyzed in the present study to assess the spatial variation in temperature in the area
Landsat TM images of May 2000 and 2016 were utilized to study the spatial-temporal thermal variations and their
relationships with land cover changes in Hisar city and surrounding area which experienced rapid urbanization in past
decades Land cover classifications were derived to quantify area-specific variations and brightness temperatures were
computed from the TM thermal data to express the urban thermal environment The spatial distributions of surface
temperature indicated that thermal variations had been largely broadened and showed good agreements with a change
in land use and land cover Temperature statistics of main land cover types indicated that built-up and bare land had
higher surface temperatures than natural land covers The findings indicated that the warming effect caused by
urbanization ie mainly where the natural landscape was replaced by urban areas

house gases in the atmosphere resulting in global warming Thus it is obvious that the environmental degradation
process unless detected early and action taken to arrest or mitigate may lead to further deterioration and may affect
sustainable development efforts which is key concern in Agenda 21 Sustainable development of natural resources
refers to maintaining a fragile balance between productivity functions and conservation practices through
identification and monitoring of problem areas and calls for optimal utilization of available natural resources based on
their potentials and limitations while maintaining a good harmony with the environment Information on the nature
extent spatial distribution along with the potentials and limitations of natural resources is a pre-requisite to achieve
the goals of sustainable development By virtue of providing synoptic view of fairly large area at a regular interval
spaceborne multispectral measurements hold great promise in generating reliable information on various natural
resources namely soils mineral surface and ground water forest cover marine resources in a timely and cost-
effective manner Geographic Information System (GIS) offers an ideal environment for integrating spatial and
attribute data on natural resources and environment and for subsequent generation of optimal land use plan on a
micro-watershed basis Furthermore Global Positioning System (GPS) enables making precise in situ measurements
on various terrain parameters which are used for both generating baseline as well as derivative information on natural

Disasters are not random and do not occur by accident They are the convergence of hazards and vulnerable
conditions ie disasters take place when hazards meet vulnerable situations Natural hazards such as fires floods
earthquakes and drought are part of the natural cycles of the earth When such hazards impact on vulnerable societies-
whether it is an earthquake that collapses buildings or a drought that kills crops-that society may face a catastrophic
situation requiring emergency relief and assistance to save lives and to protect the environment Natural disasters can
have a life-altering impact on the individuals families and society and at the same time the effect of natural disasters
can be felt at the community city and state level or many times these may have an impact on entire country The
impact of disasters whether it is natural or man-made not only have human dimensions but environmental ones as
well Deforestation forest management practices agriculture systems etc can exacerbate the negative environmental

impacts of a storm leading to landslides flooding silting and groundsurface water contamination Disasters create
substantial environmental degradation and ecological imbalance hinder socio-economic development and retard the
process of improving the quality of the life of people The interaction of disasters and environment has both short-term
and long-term effects These interaction and interdependencies work in a complicated way and in turn affect people
ecosystem and bio-diversity Environmental vulnerability includes the extent of natural resource depletion reduced
access to clean air safe water sanitation and inappropriate forms of waste management especially in heavily
populated and urban environments that can aggravate socio economic vulnerability Poor environmental conditions
such as diminished biodiversity soil degradation or growing food scarcity can easily threaten food security for people
dependent on the products of land forests pastures and marine environment for their livelihoods Around the globe
land use and land cover changes are eroding the natural buffers that protect communities from hazard risk These same
changes often erode capacity of people to recover from disaster However there are several opportunities to reduce
disaster risk and enhance community resilience A comprehensive understanding of natural systems coupled with the
application of management tools such as environmental evaluation and risk assessment can make a major contribution
to the reduction of risks and mitigation of any impacts There is also a need to explore the link between environmental
systems amp disasters and also the synergies between man-made and natural disasters Changing ecological conditions
can provoke emergencies by placing concurrent stresses on the environment Mitigating the effects of disasters are
primary components in global efforts to ensure environmental security It is clear that further co-ordination and co-
operation on environmental matters depends on the ability of global community to set an environmental agenda for
disaster management and in particular to pay attention to the environmental conditions that lead to disasters and to
natural resource management for disaster prevention and reduction

Eco-friendly means not harmful to our system of environment ie not harmful to land air etc Presently due
to agriculture mainly a lot of pollutants are added day by day in our environment Because of these pollutants the soil
fertility is decreasing the fear of disease in living beings are increasing a lot of poisons chemicals and gases prevails
in the environment There is a great need to the use such a cropping system which is suitable to environment ie Eco-
friendly system of cropping The Eco-friendless of cropping system may be viewed from two different angles ie
systems which help in soil and water conservation and system which reduce the use of pesticides insecticides
herbicides organic fertilizers As far as the pesticides use is concerned at national level it is a still for below the
alarming proportions Inclusion of such crops in the cropping systems in problem areas can play a significant role in
minimizing the use of agro-chemicals in the crop production
In Haryana the use of fertilizer is increasing at a very high rate The use of fertilizers (N P K) has increased
1963 times in 2017-18 from 1970-71 The use of pesticides was also increased from 976 times in 2017-18 from
1970-71 ie from 013 tonne to 057 tonnes per hectare in 2017-18 from 1970-71 But the production of food-grain in
the year 2016-17 increases only 379 times of production in 1970-71 Similarly the average yield of important crops
in Haryana shows a little increase It may be concluded that the consumption of fertilizer and pesticides are increasing
at very high rate as compared to the production of the crops

Indora Suraj Rajkumar Deepak Saini amp Nachita Kumari Research Scholar Dept of Geography
Kurukshetra University
Earthquake is a tectonic event which is causedthrough the internal pressure released by the earth in the form
of seismic waves Earthquake reveals all other catastrophic events that pose threat to human life and property It is the
most hazardous phenomenon on the earth which has an impact on a very large area leading to deaths injuries and
other socio-economic and physical damage The influence of the earthquake depends mainly on its magnitude place
and time of occurrence Earthquakes can also create other hazards like volcanoes landslides and tsunamis
Approximately 30000 seismic tremors transpire each year in the world Out of these few earthquakes are of so low
magnitude that we cannot feel them while some are of high magnitude thereby causing lots of deaths and damages
The damage caused by the earthquakes depends on the three factors ie depth of the seismic focus the intensity of the
earthquake and itrsquos time of occurrenceNorthwestern Himalayan region lies in the subduction zone between the
Eurasian and Indian plate margins therefore it becomes more vulnerable to the earthquake hazard The region lies in
IV and V seismic zones which is very active In the present study an attempt has been made to analyze the spatial
pattern of earthquakes occurrence in northwest Himalayan region of India

Media and Environment
Sangeeta Mahana Research scholar Jayoti Vidyapeeth Womenrsquos University Jaipur
Mass media is one of the most important factors underlying the knowledge of environment problem This can
only be true on the condition that first mass media are accessible to large proportion of the population second are
spending some time on environment issues and third people are interested in information on ecological issues
provided by media so that they view or listen to the corresponding program as well as read newspaper articles or other
written publications dealing with environmental issues Television print news radio broadcast and the internet are
enlisted to help promote a ldquogreen ldquoethic and raise environmental awareness
Mass media play an important role for creating environment awareness among people These daysrsquo climate
change issues are getting the highest priority and making the headlines in print and electronic media Government and
the people depend on communication and mass Media not only for disseminating information but also in setting
agenda for the development and other allied activities
Media has the power of focusing the factor that causes environmental problems as well as adverse impacts on
people Media acts as a catalyst in enlightening the masses on issues related to climate change A section of the media
has drawn our attention on several environmental issues like Ganga River action plan chipko movement Narmada
Bachavo Andolan and Appiko movement were kept alive mainly by the coverage in various media
Media can play a great role in communication of the natural disaster of region media certain characteristics that make
them powerful instruments of disaster Communication as they provide quick and easy access to large numbers of
people located at different places It helps in highlighting the problem and difficulties faced by the people affected by
disaster
Through communication members of society share their experiences and knowledge understands each other
and generates collective wisdom Today various types of mass media enable people all over the world to interact and
learn from each other at a tremendous pace Communication with the help of mass media not only brings people but
also communities together Thus contracting the globe into the village The environment and media research
programs are made up of researchers from across film and screen studies media and communications and journalism

Application of Remote Sensing In Geography
Dr Pratap Singh Rajput Guest Lecturer Govt College Sarni Betul MP
Remote sensing in geology is remote sensing used in the geological sciences as a data acquisition method
complementary to field observation because it allows mapping of geological characteristics of regions without
physical contact with the areas being explored About one-fourth of the Earths total surface area is exposed land
where information is ready to be extracted from detailed earth observation via remote sensing Remote sensing is
conducted via detection of electromagnetic radiation by sensors The radiation can be naturally sourced (passive
remote sensing) or produced by machines (active remote sensing) and reflected off of the Earth surface The
electromagnetic radiation acts as an information carrier for two main variables First the intensities of reflectance at
different wavelengths are detected and plotted on a spectral reflectance curve This spectral fingerprint is governed by
the physio-chemical properties of the surface of the target object and therefore helps mineral identification and hence
geological mapping for example by hyper spectral Second the two-way travel time of radiation from and back to the
sensor can calculate the distance in active remote sensing systems for example Interferometric synthetic-aperture
radar This helps geomorphologic studies of ground motion and thus can illuminate deformations associated
with landslides earthquakes etc Remote sensing data can help studies involving geological mapping geological
hazards and economic geology (ie exploration for minerals petroleum etc) These geological studies commonly
employ a multitude of tools classified according to short to long wavelengths of the electromagnetic radiation which
various instruments are sensitive to Shorter wavelengths are generally useful for site characterization up to
mineralogical scale while longer wavelengths reveal larger scale surface information eg regional thermal anomalies
surface roughness etc Such techniques are particularly beneficial for exploration of inaccessible areas and planets
other than Earth

A rapidly emerging menace ie deforestation is a big concern and challenge not only before India but across
the world and poses a threat to the sustainable development of mankind Forest resource is renewable resources and is
prominent geographic feature at the global level supporting living organisms of various forms Forest is defined as a
community of living trees and associated organisms which covers a considerable area It usually refers to all lands
more than one hectare in area with a tree canopy density of more than 10 percent irrespective of ownership and legal
status India is one of the ten most forest-rich countries of the world Forestry in India is a significant rural industry
and a major environmental resource But ironically the rate of deforestation in India is alarmingly high to suit a
variety of needs especially to fulfill the agricultural pursuits
In light of preceding discussion the present study will examine and unravel the regional patterns of
deforestation in India In particular the study intends to analyze and explore the extent trends magnitude and
distributional pattern of deforestation across various regions and states and their accuracy assessments for two
different time periods ie 2015 and 2017 The Forest Survey of India and the National Remote Sensing Agency

Water Resources Issues and Management in India
Naresh Kumar Assit Professor CRM Jat College Hisar
Water is one of the most essential natural resources for sustaining life Its development and
management play a vital role in agriculture production Integrated water management is vital for poverty
reduction environmental sustenance and sustainable economic development In view of the rapid increase
in population urbanization and industrialization the demand for water for meeting various requirements is
continuously increasing Therefore we are facing numerous challenges in the water sector which include
reducing per capita water availability the decline in groundwater table in many areas and saltwater
intrusion in coastal aquifers The quality of surface water and groundwater is also deteriorating because of
increasing pollutant loads from various sources Climate change may also adversely affect the availability
and distribution of water resources This article presents an overview of relevant issues pertaining to
development and management of water resources in India

Environmental Impacts of Natural Disasters
Tek Chand Student of PU Patiala
It is recognized that many significant nonmarket effects result from natural disasters including environmental
impacts Though our committee had a keen interest in these topics it became clear that these impactsmdashthough often
significantmdashdid not fit easily with this studys main report and conclusions for the following reasons (1) not all
disasters result in significant ecosystem impacts (eg many earthquakes have but minor impacts on ecosystems) (2)
some extreme events have positive impacts on ecosystems (eg floods can help rejuvenate floodplain vegetation and
are important drivers of many ecological processes in floodplains) and (3) these impacts are mainly nonmarket and
are exceptionally difficult to quantify andor monetize Though there are emerging efforts in quantifying and
monetizing ecosystem services (Costanza 1997) they are in their infancy and are not yet widely accepted
Nonetheless the magnitude of the environmental impacts of many disasters compelled the committee to discuss them
and we do so in this Appendix Though no specific recommendations regarding how environmental costs should be
incorporated in loss estimates we provide here we encourage policymakers in the relevant executive branch agencies

to devote more attention and perhaps research to these issues It is important in assessing environmental impacts to
distinguish between impacts of disasters on the natural environment from those on the human-made landscape
environment As mentioned events that societies label as natural disasters may also have beneficial ecological
consequences However these benefits tend to only manifest themselves months or years after an extreme event (eg
rejuvenation of a coniferous forest months andor years after fires) or are often not readily apparent (eg recharging
of groundwater stocks after a flood) These benefits to ecological systems are of course typically overshadowed by
immediate negative impacts on societies and structures hence the use of the term natural disasters

Geographic Information System (GIS) is considered as ldquoautomated systems used for capturing store retrieve
analyze and to display spatial datardquo (Clarke etal 1996) This tool is helpful in analyzing relationships between
location environment and incidences When looking into applicability of GIS both water-borne diseases and vector-
borne diseases are widely investigated topics at global level In the present scenario GIS has an ability to identify
location of specific diseases and their spatial unusual aggregation which can help different health agencies so that they
can provide facilities and prevent further growth of incidents1
The health geography is concerned with two fundamental questions that are revolves around (i) when and
where specific disease tend to occur and why specific pattern of incidence do occur In these directions substantial
growth has been found during the last decade whereas concept of ldquoplacerdquo plays a very significant role in determining
health of people It is regarded as new perspective to look into how ldquohealthrdquo of people is influence from ldquospacerdquo
(Kwan 2012) In the recent period due to development of modern tools such as Geographic Information System
(GIS) which makes it easier to conduct spatial analysis and modeling at different levels Now with these tools modern
epidemiologist and geographers can do analysis of health both spatially and temporally (Cromley and McLafferty
2011)
Water borne diseases are considered as diseases those emerge due to consumption and ingestion of
contaminated water that may contain pathogenic viruses bacteria protozoa and other chemical substances (UNO
Health Report 2003) These pathogens are transmitted into human body through using contaminated water when
utilize for domestic purposes that may responsible for viral bacteria and parasite related diseases A report by World
Health Organization (2016) on ldquoThe situation of water-related infectious diseases in the pan-European regionrdquo define
water related diseases asany substantial effect on human health such as illness disability disorders and sometime
death due to direct or indirect alteration in the quantity or quality of water2

Urban Solid Waste Management (USWM) is most problematic and neglected aspect of Indian Cities The
high population growth and industrialization put strain on the basic infrastructural and municipal services The
Government local self governments make their best efforts to provide all basic amenities and services for meet the
demand of poses challenge before the administration for managing the huge quantity of waste generated by this large
size of population The solid waste generation is a continually growing problem at global regional and local levels
The solid waste is those organic and inorganic waste materials which are produced by various activities of the society
As a result there is considerable increase in MSW (municipal solid waste) generation in India during last few decades
In urban areas particularly in highly urbanized areas of the developing world problems and issues of municipal solid
waste management (MSWM) deserve immediate attention The present study aims at providing an overview of the
existing solid waste management practices in Chandigarh a top tier II city in India and suggests solutions to some of
the major problems being faced by the existing system An average of 400-500 tonsday of solid waste is generated in
Chandigarh municipal corporation area Chandigarh is the first city in India developed in a planned manner which has
helped in developing a comparatively better solid waste management in comparison to other Indian cities The present
study focus on existing waste management practices and it will recommend some suggestions for better management

Rural Development
Ms Priyanka Saini Jayoti Vidyapeeth Womenrsquos University Jaipur
Rural development can be defined as ldquoan integrated development of the area and the people through optimum
development and utilization of local resources-physical biological and human and by bringing about necessary
institutional structural and attitudinal changes of rural publicrdquoRural development means noticeable changes in all
these components But such changes should take place in a mutually supporting relationship so as to generate organic
and optimum development Organic development is one which maintains a healthy relationship among the various
elements or components of a system The concept of rural development was born in the context of agriculture and for
a long time it encompassed agricultural development Since 1970rsquos the concept has become more definite in its
interpretation and it is being regarded as a design to improve the economic and social life especially by extending
benefits of development to the poorest small farmers tenants and landless
Now rural development is not exclusively restricted to any single activity or area it travels many or all areas
which anyway affect upgrading enlisting and petrifying improvement of transformation in socio-economic lives of
rural 51 people Rural development means overall improvement of die quality of life for rural people It is about
reduction of poverty increasing productivity providing basic services like health education drinking water
sanitation extending infrastructure attempt to reverse distorted land distribution and ownership and host of other
aspects redressing inequality exploitation and deprivation in any conceivable sense Rural development as a concept
for planning and executing changes in rural areas is based on the assumption that production increases and social
improvements are not mutually exclusive but on the contrary are mutually strengthening The relation between the
two is complemented so heavily that development on one front cannot proceed beyond a point without a simultaneous
or prior change in the other Another trend in rural development is the special emphasis on the weaker sections of the
society ie the rural poor not merely for improving their level of living but also to bring about a greater degree of
their involvement in the development process Rural development is the ultimate analysis which involves the
provision of opportunities for optimum utilization of human resources in rural areas Human resource development in
its turn can take place only if there is adequate nutrition and working opportunities available for the rural masses

Cities are characterized by the rapid urban growth and regeneration process Consequently the land use and
land cover have been altered considerably which in lieu affected the urban environment Urban environment is a
complex entity and any sort of alteration in the urban environment makes the modern urban life unsustainable These
alterations in urban environment require changes both in lifestyle and infrastructure The expansion of Grey
infrastructure and shrinking vegetation cover have induced micro-climatic changes such as heat wave intensification
intensified urban heat island effect and winter warming effect in the study area The dominance of Grey infrastructure
means impermeable surface which affected local heat budget through increased land surface temperature Further less
vegetation cover failed to regulate temperature through cooling effect of evapo-transpiration The present research
study carries out the Geo-spatial analysis of land surface temperature and normalized difference vegetation index for
the period 1990-2015 in the study area The present research is an attempt to trace out reduction in cropland during the
period 1990-2015 in Delhi The satellite data used include Landsat- 45 (TM) Landsat -7 (ETM+) and Landsat ndash 8
(OLI) for three different time periods 1990 2000 and 2015 respectively Moreover suitable statistical techniques have
been used to conduct the present research study

Climate Change and its present day scenario
Rajwinder Singh Assistant Professor Isharjyot Degree College Pehowa
Climate change is an ever going process of nature nothing remained stable in the history of the earth weather
it is its landforms oceans and nor does its climate remained stable at all the time Today the major concern is about
the climate change that we are facing the rate of change has been accelerated in the past few decades Today
Anthropogenic factors are the biggest contributors for the emission of greenhouse gases globally July 2019 was the
hottest month ever recorded on the earth which clearly indicates how worse the situation is This changing scenario
will have its adverse effect For example the rate of forest fires will increase availability and quality of water will also
deteriorate in future On the whole climate change will have an adverse effect on every sphere of life like Agriculture

Air Pollution By Stubble Burning and Its Impact
Basant Singh
The paper presents the major environment issue regarding air pollution due to stubble burning in Haryana
Haryana lies in indo Gangetic plain The fertile land is good for extensive farming In Haryana paddy and wheat
production is higher than other farming These farming generate a huge amount of agricultural wastes in the form of
stubble The farmer is using fire to remove the stubble Burning of stubble released various Gaseous in the atmosphere
such as Carbon dioxside (co2) carbon monoxide(co)Methane (CH4) Nitrogen oxide(No) and sulphur oxside (sox) as
well as huge quantity of particulate Matter (PM10) and 25 microns or less (PM25) These gaseous causing negative
impact on human health and Global warming The management of crop residue is much important to reduce air
pollution The government takes action to solve the problem of stubble burning or make policies

there is a fluctuation in the land use pattern of the state It further analysed that the advent of modern means of
technology influenced the behaviour and thinking ability of farmers towards the use of land It is observed that
western part of the study region share the more land under the category of barren land culturable wasteland and
fallow land as compare to northern and eastern region throughout the study period It is also found that developed
irrigation facilities development of infrastructure etc are responsible for the modification in the physical
environment and this leads to change in the overall land use pattern The present study is based on secondary sources
of data Twenty years averages are drawn from 1970-71 to 2016-17 Simple statistical methods are used for deriving
the results and cartographic techniques are applied for mapping the results

Flood as disaster results in large scale loss of life and property in the Kosi-Mahananda Doab region of Bihar
Though frequent flood events in Kosi-river have made it lsquoSorrow of Biharrsquo but administrative machinery worked
inefficiently and proved failure in mitigation of flood as disaster in the study area The poor implementation of
management policy poor involvement of local bodies and community-based organizations (CBOs) and weak
participation of local government and unsustainable and uneconomic mobilization of resource are major key issues
resulting in improper and inefficient management plan to mitigate flood as disaster Administrative machinery and
prevailing red tapism results in discrimination in survey delay in relief poor monitoring and evaluation poor
representation lackadaisical attitude of concerned departments The present research article investigates various
factors responsible for administrative crisis and inefficient disaster management plan related to floods in Kosi-
Mahananda doab region Further recommendations and suggestions have been made to improve mitigation measures

Origin and History of Women Self Help Groups in India on Rural Development
Dr K Rani Lakshmi Professor amp Dean FHSS IASE Deemed To Be University
In 1976 Prof Mohammed Yunus of Bangladesh started womenrsquos groups in Bangladesh and developed
thrift and savings among the poorest Self Help Group is a novel mechanism and the brainchild of Mohd Yunus a
Noble Prize Winner of 2006 in Bangladesh Now it has developed into a bank named Bangladesh Grameen Bank Its
report in February 1998 states that the bank has 1138 branches and covers 39572 villages It has 2367503 members of
which only 124571 are men With the success of BGB and similar organisations elsewhere the concept of Micro
credit has gained momentum in India Based on this success many Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) in our
country are involved in organising Self Help Groups and they serve as an agent between the bank and the poor Self
Help Groups play today a major role in poverty alleviation in rural India A growing number of poor people (mostly
women) in various parts of India are members of Self Help Groups and actively engage in savings and credit as well
as in other activities like income generation natural resources management literacy child care and nutrition etc The
Self Help Group system has proven to be very relevant and effective in offering women the possibility to break
gradually away from exploitation and isolation

Dr Ghanashyam Deka Assistant Professor Department of Geography Pachhunga University Mizoram
Tourism is considered as one of the largest service industry in the world In Indian economy tourism is
playing significant role to upgrade the development and raising the gross domestic product The tourism sector
becomes increasingly important in national development North-Eastern state are very fortunate and one of the most
potential region in India to attract tourists Uniqueness of the region physical and cultural diversities can attract huge
numbers of visitors and ultimately generate income from them Though this region is counted as one of the backward
regions it has potentialities for future development Tourism sector will be the suitable for that However this sector
necessitates formulation of sustainable tourism strategy so that it can be utilized as a tool for regional development
Being a hilly state Mizoram is always attracting tourists from different parts of the country The state has potential of
adventure and rural tourism Apart from that with its cultural and ethnic uniqueness the state can attract a lot of
tourists to each of the isolated village situated in the hilltop Already the state government declared tourism as an
industry under its development policies Festivals like Anthurium Chapchar Kut are now well know and attracting
few thousands of tourists every year Anthurium festival is becoming the good earning source for the villagers in

Water is primary part of life and essential for human life It is play a major role in human being even we can
say in biotic organism life Human body made with the help of 60 water It can be said water is life itself Without
water no field of human activity is complete Today human is using water resources very badly for own benefit The
ground water decline continuously is a very thinking and understandable an issue There is not state government
responsible but local people also As like people blame on government the decline of ground water is result of
agriculture model and polices of government The ground water level of district Sangrur is continuously decline
Which is a very serious issue This issue can be seen in association with climate chance If this continues the day is
not far when District of Sangrur will be completely transformed into a desert

Soil Erosion Modelling Using MMF Model amp Degradation Mitigation Strategy for Rural Development of
Badlands Area of Etawah UP
Hemant Kumar Assistant Professor Department of Geography RPS Degree College Mahendergarh Haryana
Yamuna Chambal badlands are located at margin of south-west Gangetic plain in India It is known for
horrible land degradation by water driven erosion The expansion of gully and ravine networks on arable land is
possessing serious socio-economic challenges to the society of this region In this study an estimation of soil erosion
has been made by using Morgan-Morgan Finney Model It has been found that the average annual soil loss rate is 760
tons hactaer2 year Due to undulating surface and high intensity of rainfall in a short spell of time transport capacity
of running water is too high in this region Although seasonal vegetation cover is a dominant protection from erosion
still erosive nature of soils and steep slope makes available big amount for erosion material here The model is used to
evaluate and identify the major zone of erosion Several schemes are applied to counter the land degradation process
here An evaluation of conservation and mitigation schemes has been done

Urban areas are suffering from excess hotness in summer mainly due to congested built-up structures The
problem became peculiar for cities located in hot arid conditions such as Hisar in Haryana (India) A continuous
surface of Land Surface Temperature (LST) can be extracted from Landsat thermal bands Similarly different band
combinations and ratios give a spatial pattern of land cover categories Spatiotemporal pattern of temperature in and
around the Hisar city was analyzed in the present study to assess the spatial variation in temperature in the area
Landsat TM images of May 2000 and 2016 were utilized to study the spatial-temporal thermal variations and their
relationships with land cover changes in Hisar city and surrounding area which experienced rapid urbanization in past
decades Land cover classifications were derived to quantify area-specific variations and brightness temperatures were
computed from the TM thermal data to express the urban thermal environment The spatial distributions of surface
temperature indicated that thermal variations had been largely broadened and showed good agreements with a change
in land use and land cover Temperature statistics of main land cover types indicated that built-up and bare land had
higher surface temperatures than natural land covers The findings indicated that the warming effect caused by
urbanization ie mainly where the natural landscape was replaced by urban areas

Over exploitation of available natural resources for meeting the growing demand for food fuel and fiber of an
ever-increasing population has led to serious environmental degradation Globally 19644x106 ha lands are affected
by human induced degradation Of this 1903x106 ha are subject to soil erosion by water 5483x106 ha to wind
erosion 2391x106 ha to chemical deterioration 682x106 ha to compaction and 105 x 10 ha to water logging

house gases in the atmosphere resulting in global warming Thus it is obvious that the environmental degradation
process unless detected early and action taken to arrest or mitigate may lead to further deterioration and may affect
sustainable development efforts which is key concern in Agenda 21 Sustainable development of natural resources
refers to maintaining a fragile balance between productivity functions and conservation practices through
identification and monitoring of problem areas and calls for optimal utilization of available natural resources based on
their potentials and limitations while maintaining a good harmony with the environment Information on the nature
extent spatial distribution along with the potentials and limitations of natural resources is a pre-requisite to achieve
the goals of sustainable development By virtue of providing synoptic view of fairly large area at a regular interval
spaceborne multispectral measurements hold great promise in generating reliable information on various natural
resources namely soils mineral surface and ground water forest cover marine resources in a timely and cost-
effective manner Geographic Information System (GIS) offers an ideal environment for integrating spatial and
attribute data on natural resources and environment and for subsequent generation of optimal land use plan on a
micro-watershed basis Furthermore Global Positioning System (GPS) enables making precise in situ measurements
on various terrain parameters which are used for both generating baseline as well as derivative information on natural
resources for various developmental activities Advancements in weather forecasting and tele-communication further
help in effective implementation of optimal land use plansaction plans An attempt has been made in this article to
provide an overview of the magnitude of the land degradation problem concepts of sustainable development based on
conservation of land and water resources and to identify sustainability indicators and to illustrate the role of remote

Disasters are not random and do not occur by accident They are the convergence of hazards and vulnerable
conditions ie disasters take place when hazards meet vulnerable situations Natural hazards such as fires floods
earthquakes and drought are part of the natural cycles of the earth When such hazards impact on vulnerable societies-
whether it is an earthquake that collapses buildings or a drought that kills crops-that society may face a catastrophic
situation requiring emergency relief and assistance to save lives and to protect the environment Natural disasters can
have a life-altering impact on the individuals families and society and at the same time the effect of natural disasters
can be felt at the community city and state level or many times these may have an impact on entire country The
impact of disasters whether it is natural or man-made not only have human dimensions but environmental ones as
well Deforestation forest management practices agriculture systems etc can exacerbate the negative environmental

impacts of a storm leading to landslides flooding silting and groundsurface water contamination Disasters create
substantial environmental degradation and ecological imbalance hinder socio-economic development and retard the
process of improving the quality of the life of people The interaction of disasters and environment has both short-term
and long-term effects These interaction and interdependencies work in a complicated way and in turn affect people
ecosystem and bio-diversity Environmental vulnerability includes the extent of natural resource depletion reduced
access to clean air safe water sanitation and inappropriate forms of waste management especially in heavily
populated and urban environments that can aggravate socio economic vulnerability Poor environmental conditions
such as diminished biodiversity soil degradation or growing food scarcity can easily threaten food security for people
dependent on the products of land forests pastures and marine environment for their livelihoods Around the globe
land use and land cover changes are eroding the natural buffers that protect communities from hazard risk These same
changes often erode capacity of people to recover from disaster However there are several opportunities to reduce
disaster risk and enhance community resilience A comprehensive understanding of natural systems coupled with the
application of management tools such as environmental evaluation and risk assessment can make a major contribution
to the reduction of risks and mitigation of any impacts There is also a need to explore the link between environmental
systems amp disasters and also the synergies between man-made and natural disasters Changing ecological conditions
can provoke emergencies by placing concurrent stresses on the environment Mitigating the effects of disasters are
primary components in global efforts to ensure environmental security It is clear that further co-ordination and co-
operation on environmental matters depends on the ability of global community to set an environmental agenda for
disaster management and in particular to pay attention to the environmental conditions that lead to disasters and to
natural resource management for disaster prevention and reduction

Eco-friendly means not harmful to our system of environment ie not harmful to land air etc Presently due
to agriculture mainly a lot of pollutants are added day by day in our environment Because of these pollutants the soil
fertility is decreasing the fear of disease in living beings are increasing a lot of poisons chemicals and gases prevails
in the environment There is a great need to the use such a cropping system which is suitable to environment ie Eco-
friendly system of cropping The Eco-friendless of cropping system may be viewed from two different angles ie
systems which help in soil and water conservation and system which reduce the use of pesticides insecticides
herbicides organic fertilizers As far as the pesticides use is concerned at national level it is a still for below the
alarming proportions Inclusion of such crops in the cropping systems in problem areas can play a significant role in
minimizing the use of agro-chemicals in the crop production
In Haryana the use of fertilizer is increasing at a very high rate The use of fertilizers (N P K) has increased
1963 times in 2017-18 from 1970-71 The use of pesticides was also increased from 976 times in 2017-18 from
1970-71 ie from 013 tonne to 057 tonnes per hectare in 2017-18 from 1970-71 But the production of food-grain in
the year 2016-17 increases only 379 times of production in 1970-71 Similarly the average yield of important crops
in Haryana shows a little increase It may be concluded that the consumption of fertilizer and pesticides are increasing
at very high rate as compared to the production of the crops

Earthquake is a tectonic event which is causedthrough the internal pressure released by the earth in the form
of seismic waves Earthquake reveals all other catastrophic events that pose threat to human life and property It is the
most hazardous phenomenon on the earth which has an impact on a very large area leading to deaths injuries and
other socio-economic and physical damage The influence of the earthquake depends mainly on its magnitude place
and time of occurrence Earthquakes can also create other hazards like volcanoes landslides and tsunamis
Approximately 30000 seismic tremors transpire each year in the world Out of these few earthquakes are of so low
magnitude that we cannot feel them while some are of high magnitude thereby causing lots of deaths and damages
The damage caused by the earthquakes depends on the three factors ie depth of the seismic focus the intensity of the
earthquake and itrsquos time of occurrenceNorthwestern Himalayan region lies in the subduction zone between the
Eurasian and Indian plate margins therefore it becomes more vulnerable to the earthquake hazard The region lies in
IV and V seismic zones which is very active In the present study an attempt has been made to analyze the spatial

spending some time on environment issues and third people are interested in information on ecological issues
provided by media so that they view or listen to the corresponding program as well as read newspaper articles or other
written publications dealing with environmental issues Television print news radio broadcast and the internet are
enlisted to help promote a ldquogreen ldquoethic and raise environmental awareness
Mass media play an important role for creating environment awareness among people These daysrsquo climate
change issues are getting the highest priority and making the headlines in print and electronic media Government and
the people depend on communication and mass Media not only for disseminating information but also in setting
agenda for the development and other allied activities
Media has the power of focusing the factor that causes environmental problems as well as adverse impacts on
people Media acts as a catalyst in enlightening the masses on issues related to climate change A section of the media
has drawn our attention on several environmental issues like Ganga River action plan chipko movement Narmada
Bachavo Andolan and Appiko movement were kept alive mainly by the coverage in various media
Media can play a great role in communication of the natural disaster of region media certain characteristics that make
them powerful instruments of disaster Communication as they provide quick and easy access to large numbers of
people located at different places It helps in highlighting the problem and difficulties faced by the people affected by
disaster
Through communication members of society share their experiences and knowledge understands each other

Application of Remote Sensing In Geography
Dr Pratap Singh Rajput Guest Lecturer Govt College Sarni Betul MP
Remote sensing in geology is remote sensing used in the geological sciences as a data acquisition method
complementary to field observation because it allows mapping of geological characteristics of regions without
physical contact with the areas being explored About one-fourth of the Earths total surface area is exposed land
where information is ready to be extracted from detailed earth observation via remote sensing Remote sensing is
conducted via detection of electromagnetic radiation by sensors The radiation can be naturally sourced (passive
remote sensing) or produced by machines (active remote sensing) and reflected off of the Earth surface The
electromagnetic radiation acts as an information carrier for two main variables First the intensities of reflectance at
different wavelengths are detected and plotted on a spectral reflectance curve This spectral fingerprint is governed by
the physio-chemical properties of the surface of the target object and therefore helps mineral identification and hence
geological mapping for example by hyper spectral Second the two-way travel time of radiation from and back to the
sensor can calculate the distance in active remote sensing systems for example Interferometric synthetic-aperture
radar This helps geomorphologic studies of ground motion and thus can illuminate deformations associated
with landslides earthquakes etc Remote sensing data can help studies involving geological mapping geological
hazards and economic geology (ie exploration for minerals petroleum etc) These geological studies commonly
employ a multitude of tools classified according to short to long wavelengths of the electromagnetic radiation which
various instruments are sensitive to Shorter wavelengths are generally useful for site characterization up to
mineralogical scale while longer wavelengths reveal larger scale surface information eg regional thermal anomalies
surface roughness etc Such techniques are particularly beneficial for exploration of inaccessible areas and planets
other than Earth

Environmental Impacts of Natural Disasters
Tek Chand Student of PU Patiala
It is recognized that many significant nonmarket effects result from natural disasters including environmental
impacts Though our committee had a keen interest in these topics it became clear that these impactsmdashthough often
significantmdashdid not fit easily with this studys main report and conclusions for the following reasons (1) not all
disasters result in significant ecosystem impacts (eg many earthquakes have but minor impacts on ecosystems) (2)
some extreme events have positive impacts on ecosystems (eg floods can help rejuvenate floodplain vegetation and
are important drivers of many ecological processes in floodplains) and (3) these impacts are mainly nonmarket and
are exceptionally difficult to quantify andor monetize Though there are emerging efforts in quantifying and
monetizing ecosystem services (Costanza 1997) they are in their infancy and are not yet widely accepted
Nonetheless the magnitude of the environmental impacts of many disasters compelled the committee to discuss them
and we do so in this Appendix Though no specific recommendations regarding how environmental costs should be
incorporated in loss estimates we provide here we encourage policymakers in the relevant executive branch agencies

to devote more attention and perhaps research to these issues It is important in assessing environmental impacts to
distinguish between impacts of disasters on the natural environment from those on the human-made landscape
environment As mentioned events that societies label as natural disasters may also have beneficial ecological
consequences However these benefits tend to only manifest themselves months or years after an extreme event (eg
rejuvenation of a coniferous forest months andor years after fires) or are often not readily apparent (eg recharging
of groundwater stocks after a flood) These benefits to ecological systems are of course typically overshadowed by
immediate negative impacts on societies and structures hence the use of the term natural disasters

resource It is well known that the Practical and philosophical impediments are upsetting modern attempts to achieve a
satisfying understanding of landforms and their genesis In recent years spatial application has made this study a much
interesting and knowledgeable The present paper focuses the water Resource study of Mohand area in Lower siwaliks
with the application of remote sensing and GIS as a tool It is found the piedmont zone is a good recharge zone for
water The scarcity of water is mainly with the streams along all the major rivers especially in the areas of structural
and denudo structural hills of the upper and middle portion of the study area The barkala fan area can play a vital role
as a main source of water recharge with the rain water harvesting techniques Different thematic layers are prepared
using remote sensing and GIS for the assessment of water resources status The union coverage of land use land

cover geology geomorphology soil and slope status maps have been incorporated in the Arc GIS environment as
input coverage The existing water resource classes have been reclassified according to the criterion statement five
classes of water resources can be regrouped into three classes such as good moderate and poor status of water
resources in the study area Overall results show that nearly 60 of the geographical area has good and moderate
resources Another major part of poor resource areas need to be reclaimed to restore and improve its resource status
The method used is incorporation of DEM of study area to see the major anomalies of study area and its role in overall
water resource management in the piedmont Some dugwells of the area is estimated with measurements (in mts) for
the better results Finally the conclusion shows that there is a comparative role of geomorphology and landform for
water resource management in the area therefore Resource management planning strategy has been suggested

Application of Geospatial Analysis in the Study of Water Borne Disease

Geographic Information System (GIS) is considered as ldquoautomated systems used for capturing store retrieve
analyze and to display spatial datardquo (Clarke etal 1996) This tool is helpful in analyzing relationships between
location environment and incidences When looking into applicability of GIS both water-borne diseases and vector-
borne diseases are widely investigated topics at global level In the present scenario GIS has an ability to identify
location of specific diseases and their spatial unusual aggregation which can help different health agencies so that they
can provide facilities and prevent further growth of incidents1
The health geography is concerned with two fundamental questions that are revolves around (i) when and
where specific disease tend to occur and why specific pattern of incidence do occur In these directions substantial
growth has been found during the last decade whereas concept of ldquoplacerdquo plays a very significant role in determining
health of people It is regarded as new perspective to look into how ldquohealthrdquo of people is influence from ldquospacerdquo
(Kwan 2012) In the recent period due to development of modern tools such as Geographic Information System
(GIS) which makes it easier to conduct spatial analysis and modeling at different levels Now with these tools modern
epidemiologist and geographers can do analysis of health both spatially and temporally (Cromley and McLafferty
2011)
Water borne diseases are considered as diseases those emerge due to consumption and ingestion of
contaminated water that may contain pathogenic viruses bacteria protozoa and other chemical substances (UNO
Health Report 2003) These pathogens are transmitted into human body through using contaminated water when
utilize for domestic purposes that may responsible for viral bacteria and parasite related diseases A report by World
Health Organization (2016) on ldquoThe situation of water-related infectious diseases in the pan-European regionrdquo define
water related diseases asany substantial effect on human health such as illness disability disorders and sometime
death due to direct or indirect alteration in the quantity or quality of water2

Urban Solid Waste Management (USWM) is most problematic and neglected aspect of Indian Cities The
high population growth and industrialization put strain on the basic infrastructural and municipal services The
Government local self governments make their best efforts to provide all basic amenities and services for meet the
demand of poses challenge before the administration for managing the huge quantity of waste generated by this large
size of population The solid waste generation is a continually growing problem at global regional and local levels
The solid waste is those organic and inorganic waste materials which are produced by various activities of the society
As a result there is considerable increase in MSW (municipal solid waste) generation in India during last few decades
In urban areas particularly in highly urbanized areas of the developing world problems and issues of municipal solid
waste management (MSWM) deserve immediate attention The present study aims at providing an overview of the
existing solid waste management practices in Chandigarh a top tier II city in India and suggests solutions to some of
the major problems being faced by the existing system An average of 400-500 tonsday of solid waste is generated in
Chandigarh municipal corporation area Chandigarh is the first city in India developed in a planned manner which has
helped in developing a comparatively better solid waste management in comparison to other Indian cities The present
study focus on existing waste management practices and it will recommend some suggestions for better management

Rural Development
Ms Priyanka Saini Jayoti Vidyapeeth Womenrsquos University Jaipur
Rural development can be defined as ldquoan integrated development of the area and the people through optimum
development and utilization of local resources-physical biological and human and by bringing about necessary
institutional structural and attitudinal changes of rural publicrdquoRural development means noticeable changes in all
these components But such changes should take place in a mutually supporting relationship so as to generate organic
and optimum development Organic development is one which maintains a healthy relationship among the various
elements or components of a system The concept of rural development was born in the context of agriculture and for
a long time it encompassed agricultural development Since 1970rsquos the concept has become more definite in its
interpretation and it is being regarded as a design to improve the economic and social life especially by extending
benefits of development to the poorest small farmers tenants and landless
Now rural development is not exclusively restricted to any single activity or area it travels many or all areas
which anyway affect upgrading enlisting and petrifying improvement of transformation in socio-economic lives of
rural 51 people Rural development means overall improvement of die quality of life for rural people It is about
reduction of poverty increasing productivity providing basic services like health education drinking water
sanitation extending infrastructure attempt to reverse distorted land distribution and ownership and host of other
aspects redressing inequality exploitation and deprivation in any conceivable sense Rural development as a concept
for planning and executing changes in rural areas is based on the assumption that production increases and social
improvements are not mutually exclusive but on the contrary are mutually strengthening The relation between the
two is complemented so heavily that development on one front cannot proceed beyond a point without a simultaneous
or prior change in the other Another trend in rural development is the special emphasis on the weaker sections of the
society ie the rural poor not merely for improving their level of living but also to bring about a greater degree of
their involvement in the development process Rural development is the ultimate analysis which involves the
provision of opportunities for optimum utilization of human resources in rural areas Human resource development in
its turn can take place only if there is adequate nutrition and working opportunities available for the rural masses

A Geo-Spatial Study of Urban Environment with special reference to Land Surface Temperature and
Normalized Difference Vegetation Index in Delhi India
National Conference on ldquoMethods amp Applications of Geospatial Technology in Sustainable Developmentrdquo
Souvenir 2020 Page 14
Dr Sandesh Yadav Freelance Researcher and Alumni Dept of Geography Jamia Millia Islamia New Delhi
Cities are characterized by the rapid urban growth and regeneration process Consequently the land use and
land cover have been altered considerably which in lieu affected the urban environment Urban environment is a
complex entity and any sort of alteration in the urban environment makes the modern urban life unsustainable These
alterations in urban environment require changes both in lifestyle and infrastructure The expansion of Grey
infrastructure and shrinking vegetation cover have induced micro-climatic changes such as heat wave intensification
intensified urban heat island effect and winter warming effect in the study area The dominance of Grey infrastructure
means impermeable surface which affected local heat budget through increased land surface temperature Further less
vegetation cover failed to regulate temperature through cooling effect of evapo-transpiration The present research
study carries out the Geo-spatial analysis of land surface temperature and normalized difference vegetation index for
the period 1990-2015 in the study area The present research is an attempt to trace out reduction in cropland during the
period 1990-2015 in Delhi The satellite data used include Landsat- 45 (TM) Landsat -7 (ETM+) and Landsat ndash 8
(OLI) for three different time periods 1990 2000 and 2015 respectively Moreover suitable statistical techniques have
been used to conduct the present research study

Climate Change and its present day scenario
Rajwinder Singh Assistant Professor Isharjyot Degree College Pehowa
Climate change is an ever going process of nature nothing remained stable in the history of the earth weather
it is its landforms oceans and nor does its climate remained stable at all the time Today the major concern is about
the climate change that we are facing the rate of change has been accelerated in the past few decades Today
Anthropogenic factors are the biggest contributors for the emission of greenhouse gases globally July 2019 was the
hottest month ever recorded on the earth which clearly indicates how worse the situation is This changing scenario
will have its adverse effect For example the rate of forest fires will increase availability and quality of water will also
deteriorate in future On the whole climate change will have an adverse effect on every sphere of life like Agriculture
Forestry Biodiversity water as well as health

Air Pollution By Stubble Burning and Its Impact
Basant Singh
The paper presents the major environment issue regarding air pollution due to stubble burning in Haryana
Haryana lies in indo Gangetic plain The fertile land is good for extensive farming In Haryana paddy and wheat
production is higher than other farming These farming generate a huge amount of agricultural wastes in the form of
stubble The farmer is using fire to remove the stubble Burning of stubble released various Gaseous in the atmosphere
such as Carbon dioxside (co2) carbon monoxide(co)Methane (CH4) Nitrogen oxide(No) and sulphur oxside (sox) as
well as huge quantity of particulate Matter (PM10) and 25 microns or less (PM25) These gaseous causing negative
impact on human health and Global warming The management of crop residue is much important to reduce air

there is a fluctuation in the land use pattern of the state It further analysed that the advent of modern means of
technology influenced the behaviour and thinking ability of farmers towards the use of land It is observed that
western part of the study region share the more land under the category of barren land culturable wasteland and
fallow land as compare to northern and eastern region throughout the study period It is also found that developed
irrigation facilities development of infrastructure etc are responsible for the modification in the physical
environment and this leads to change in the overall land use pattern The present study is based on secondary sources
of data Twenty years averages are drawn from 1970-71 to 2016-17 Simple statistical methods are used for deriving
the results and cartographic techniques are applied for mapping the results

Flood as disaster results in large scale loss of life and property in the Kosi-Mahananda Doab region of Bihar
Though frequent flood events in Kosi-river have made it lsquoSorrow of Biharrsquo but administrative machinery worked
inefficiently and proved failure in mitigation of flood as disaster in the study area The poor implementation of
management policy poor involvement of local bodies and community-based organizations (CBOs) and weak
participation of local government and unsustainable and uneconomic mobilization of resource are major key issues
resulting in improper and inefficient management plan to mitigate flood as disaster Administrative machinery and
prevailing red tapism results in discrimination in survey delay in relief poor monitoring and evaluation poor
representation lackadaisical attitude of concerned departments The present research article investigates various
factors responsible for administrative crisis and inefficient disaster management plan related to floods in Kosi-

In 1976 Prof Mohammed Yunus of Bangladesh started womenrsquos groups in Bangladesh and developed
thrift and savings among the poorest Self Help Group is a novel mechanism and the brainchild of Mohd Yunus a
Noble Prize Winner of 2006 in Bangladesh Now it has developed into a bank named Bangladesh Grameen Bank Its
report in February 1998 states that the bank has 1138 branches and covers 39572 villages It has 2367503 members of
which only 124571 are men With the success of BGB and similar organisations elsewhere the concept of Micro
credit has gained momentum in India Based on this success many Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) in our
country are involved in organising Self Help Groups and they serve as an agent between the bank and the poor Self
Help Groups play today a major role in poverty alleviation in rural India A growing number of poor people (mostly
women) in various parts of India are members of Self Help Groups and actively engage in savings and credit as well
as in other activities like income generation natural resources management literacy child care and nutrition etc The

Tourism is considered as one of the largest service industry in the world In Indian economy tourism is
playing significant role to upgrade the development and raising the gross domestic product The tourism sector
becomes increasingly important in national development North-Eastern state are very fortunate and one of the most
potential region in India to attract tourists Uniqueness of the region physical and cultural diversities can attract huge
numbers of visitors and ultimately generate income from them Though this region is counted as one of the backward
regions it has potentialities for future development Tourism sector will be the suitable for that However this sector
necessitates formulation of sustainable tourism strategy so that it can be utilized as a tool for regional development
Being a hilly state Mizoram is always attracting tourists from different parts of the country The state has potential of
adventure and rural tourism Apart from that with its cultural and ethnic uniqueness the state can attract a lot of
tourists to each of the isolated village situated in the hilltop Already the state government declared tourism as an
industry under its development policies Festivals like Anthurium Chapchar Kut are now well know and attracting
few thousands of tourists every year Anthurium festival is becoming the good earning source for the villagers in

Urban areas are suffering from excess hotness in summer mainly due to congested built-up structures The
problem became peculiar for cities located in hot arid conditions such as Hisar in Haryana (India) A continuous
surface of Land Surface Temperature (LST) can be extracted from Landsat thermal bands Similarly different band
combinations and ratios give a spatial pattern of land cover categories Spatiotemporal pattern of temperature in and
around the Hisar city was analyzed in the present study to assess the spatial variation in temperature in the area
Landsat TM images of May 2000 and 2016 were utilized to study the spatial-temporal thermal variations and their
relationships with land cover changes in Hisar city and surrounding area which experienced rapid urbanization in past
decades Land cover classifications were derived to quantify area-specific variations and brightness temperatures were
computed from the TM thermal data to express the urban thermal environment The spatial distributions of surface
temperature indicated that thermal variations had been largely broadened and showed good agreements with a change
in land use and land cover Temperature statistics of main land cover types indicated that built-up and bare land had
higher surface temperatures than natural land covers The findings indicated that the warming effect caused by
urbanization ie mainly where the natural landscape was replaced by urban areas

process unless detected early and action taken to arrest or mitigate may lead to further deterioration and may affect
sustainable development efforts which is key concern in Agenda 21 Sustainable development of natural resources
refers to maintaining a fragile balance between productivity functions and conservation practices through
identification and monitoring of problem areas and calls for optimal utilization of available natural resources based on
their potentials and limitations while maintaining a good harmony with the environment Information on the nature
extent spatial distribution along with the potentials and limitations of natural resources is a pre-requisite to achieve
the goals of sustainable development By virtue of providing synoptic view of fairly large area at a regular interval
spaceborne multispectral measurements hold great promise in generating reliable information on various natural

Disasters are not random and do not occur by accident They are the convergence of hazards and vulnerable
conditions ie disasters take place when hazards meet vulnerable situations Natural hazards such as fires floods
earthquakes and drought are part of the natural cycles of the earth When such hazards impact on vulnerable societies-
whether it is an earthquake that collapses buildings or a drought that kills crops-that society may face a catastrophic
situation requiring emergency relief and assistance to save lives and to protect the environment Natural disasters can
have a life-altering impact on the individuals families and society and at the same time the effect of natural disasters
can be felt at the community city and state level or many times these may have an impact on entire country The
impact of disasters whether it is natural or man-made not only have human dimensions but environmental ones as
well Deforestation forest management practices agriculture systems etc can exacerbate the negative environmental

impacts of a storm leading to landslides flooding silting and groundsurface water contamination Disasters create
substantial environmental degradation and ecological imbalance hinder socio-economic development and retard the
process of improving the quality of the life of people The interaction of disasters and environment has both short-term
and long-term effects These interaction and interdependencies work in a complicated way and in turn affect people
ecosystem and bio-diversity Environmental vulnerability includes the extent of natural resource depletion reduced
access to clean air safe water sanitation and inappropriate forms of waste management especially in heavily
populated and urban environments that can aggravate socio economic vulnerability Poor environmental conditions
such as diminished biodiversity soil degradation or growing food scarcity can easily threaten food security for people
dependent on the products of land forests pastures and marine environment for their livelihoods Around the globe
land use and land cover changes are eroding the natural buffers that protect communities from hazard risk These same
changes often erode capacity of people to recover from disaster However there are several opportunities to reduce
disaster risk and enhance community resilience A comprehensive understanding of natural systems coupled with the
application of management tools such as environmental evaluation and risk assessment can make a major contribution
to the reduction of risks and mitigation of any impacts There is also a need to explore the link between environmental
systems amp disasters and also the synergies between man-made and natural disasters Changing ecological conditions
can provoke emergencies by placing concurrent stresses on the environment Mitigating the effects of disasters are
primary components in global efforts to ensure environmental security It is clear that further co-ordination and co-
operation on environmental matters depends on the ability of global community to set an environmental agenda for
disaster management and in particular to pay attention to the environmental conditions that lead to disasters and to
natural resource management for disaster prevention and reduction

Eco-friendly means not harmful to our system of environment ie not harmful to land air etc Presently due
to agriculture mainly a lot of pollutants are added day by day in our environment Because of these pollutants the soil
fertility is decreasing the fear of disease in living beings are increasing a lot of poisons chemicals and gases prevails
in the environment There is a great need to the use such a cropping system which is suitable to environment ie Eco-
friendly system of cropping The Eco-friendless of cropping system may be viewed from two different angles ie
systems which help in soil and water conservation and system which reduce the use of pesticides insecticides
herbicides organic fertilizers As far as the pesticides use is concerned at national level it is a still for below the
alarming proportions Inclusion of such crops in the cropping systems in problem areas can play a significant role in
minimizing the use of agro-chemicals in the crop production
In Haryana the use of fertilizer is increasing at a very high rate The use of fertilizers (N P K) has increased
1963 times in 2017-18 from 1970-71 The use of pesticides was also increased from 976 times in 2017-18 from
1970-71 ie from 013 tonne to 057 tonnes per hectare in 2017-18 from 1970-71 But the production of food-grain in
the year 2016-17 increases only 379 times of production in 1970-71 Similarly the average yield of important crops
in Haryana shows a little increase It may be concluded that the consumption of fertilizer and pesticides are increasing
at very high rate as compared to the production of the crops

Earthquake is a tectonic event which is causedthrough the internal pressure released by the earth in the form
of seismic waves Earthquake reveals all other catastrophic events that pose threat to human life and property It is the
most hazardous phenomenon on the earth which has an impact on a very large area leading to deaths injuries and
other socio-economic and physical damage The influence of the earthquake depends mainly on its magnitude place
and time of occurrence Earthquakes can also create other hazards like volcanoes landslides and tsunamis
Approximately 30000 seismic tremors transpire each year in the world Out of these few earthquakes are of so low
magnitude that we cannot feel them while some are of high magnitude thereby causing lots of deaths and damages
The damage caused by the earthquakes depends on the three factors ie depth of the seismic focus the intensity of the
earthquake and itrsquos time of occurrenceNorthwestern Himalayan region lies in the subduction zone between the
Eurasian and Indian plate margins therefore it becomes more vulnerable to the earthquake hazard The region lies in
IV and V seismic zones which is very active In the present study an attempt has been made to analyze the spatial

spending some time on environment issues and third people are interested in information on ecological issues
provided by media so that they view or listen to the corresponding program as well as read newspaper articles or other
written publications dealing with environmental issues Television print news radio broadcast and the internet are
enlisted to help promote a ldquogreen ldquoethic and raise environmental awareness
Mass media play an important role for creating environment awareness among people These daysrsquo climate
change issues are getting the highest priority and making the headlines in print and electronic media Government and
the people depend on communication and mass Media not only for disseminating information but also in setting
agenda for the development and other allied activities
Media has the power of focusing the factor that causes environmental problems as well as adverse impacts on
people Media acts as a catalyst in enlightening the masses on issues related to climate change A section of the media
has drawn our attention on several environmental issues like Ganga River action plan chipko movement Narmada
Bachavo Andolan and Appiko movement were kept alive mainly by the coverage in various media
Media can play a great role in communication of the natural disaster of region media certain characteristics that make
them powerful instruments of disaster Communication as they provide quick and easy access to large numbers of
people located at different places It helps in highlighting the problem and difficulties faced by the people affected by
disaster
Through communication members of society share their experiences and knowledge understands each other
and generates collective wisdom Today various types of mass media enable people all over the world to interact and
learn from each other at a tremendous pace Communication with the help of mass media not only brings people but
also communities together Thus contracting the globe into the village The environment and media research

Application of Remote Sensing In Geography
Dr Pratap Singh Rajput Guest Lecturer Govt College Sarni Betul MP
Remote sensing in geology is remote sensing used in the geological sciences as a data acquisition method
complementary to field observation because it allows mapping of geological characteristics of regions without
physical contact with the areas being explored About one-fourth of the Earths total surface area is exposed land
where information is ready to be extracted from detailed earth observation via remote sensing Remote sensing is
conducted via detection of electromagnetic radiation by sensors The radiation can be naturally sourced (passive
remote sensing) or produced by machines (active remote sensing) and reflected off of the Earth surface The
electromagnetic radiation acts as an information carrier for two main variables First the intensities of reflectance at
different wavelengths are detected and plotted on a spectral reflectance curve This spectral fingerprint is governed by
the physio-chemical properties of the surface of the target object and therefore helps mineral identification and hence
geological mapping for example by hyper spectral Second the two-way travel time of radiation from and back to the
sensor can calculate the distance in active remote sensing systems for example Interferometric synthetic-aperture
radar This helps geomorphologic studies of ground motion and thus can illuminate deformations associated
with landslides earthquakes etc Remote sensing data can help studies involving geological mapping geological
hazards and economic geology (ie exploration for minerals petroleum etc) These geological studies commonly
employ a multitude of tools classified according to short to long wavelengths of the electromagnetic radiation which
various instruments are sensitive to Shorter wavelengths are generally useful for site characterization up to
mineralogical scale while longer wavelengths reveal larger scale surface information eg regional thermal anomalies
surface roughness etc Such techniques are particularly beneficial for exploration of inaccessible areas and planets
other than Earth

Application of Geospatial Technology in Monitoring Forest Cover Change An Indian Perspective
Dr Shweta Rani Assistant Professor Department of Geography Dyal Singh College DU New Delhi
A rapidly emerging menace ie deforestation is a big concern and challenge not only before India but across
the world and poses a threat to the sustainable development of mankind Forest resource is renewable resources and is
prominent geographic feature at the global level supporting living organisms of various forms Forest is defined as a
community of living trees and associated organisms which covers a considerable area It usually refers to all lands
more than one hectare in area with a tree canopy density of more than 10 percent irrespective of ownership and legal
status India is one of the ten most forest-rich countries of the world Forestry in India is a significant rural industry
and a major environmental resource But ironically the rate of deforestation in India is alarmingly high to suit a
variety of needs especially to fulfill the agricultural pursuits
In light of preceding discussion the present study will examine and unravel the regional patterns of
deforestation in India In particular the study intends to analyze and explore the extent trends magnitude and
distributional pattern of deforestation across various regions and states and their accuracy assessments for two
different time periods ie 2015 and 2017 The Forest Survey of India and the National Remote Sensing Agency
(NRSA) are two major source providing data for forest cover in India based on interpretation of satellite data The
changes in area under forest have depicted through a change matrix and accuracy assessments of classification of
forest cover have been attempted through Kappa Co-efficient It is a multi-variate technique providing a statistic
known as KHAT

The environment is something we are very familiar with Its everything that makes up our surroundings and
affects our ability to live on the earth-the air we breathe the water that covers most of the earths surface The
Environment that consists of everything surrounding us is becoming a major problem day by day This paper attempts
to highlight the role that Media has played in setting perceptions and creating awareness on environmental issues In
the past decades sustainability and environmental awareness have gained media attention Due to increasing media
coverage our society is becoming more aware of the effects that our activities put on the health of the environment In
this regard the media has a big role to play in making people aware of environment issues Most recent steps by the
Government of India for promoting sanitation lsquoSwachchha Bharat Abhiyanrsquo has got success by the united efforts of
the Government and media Media has always covered social and environmental issues thus it is the most
revolutionary device for spreading consciousness towards environment protection

Water Resources Issues and Management in India
Naresh Kumar Assit Professor CRM Jat College Hisar
Water is one of the most essential natural resources for sustaining life Its development and
management play a vital role in agriculture production Integrated water management is vital for poverty
reduction environmental sustenance and sustainable economic development In view of the rapid increase
in population urbanization and industrialization the demand for water for meeting various requirements is
continuously increasing Therefore we are facing numerous challenges in the water sector which include
reducing per capita water availability the decline in groundwater table in many areas and saltwater
intrusion in coastal aquifers The quality of surface water and groundwater is also deteriorating because of
increasing pollutant loads from various sources Climate change may also adversely affect the availability
and distribution of water resources This article presents an overview of relevant issues pertaining to
development and management of water resources in India

Environmental Impacts of Natural Disasters
Tek Chand Student of PU Patiala
It is recognized that many significant nonmarket effects result from natural disasters including environmental
impacts Though our committee had a keen interest in these topics it became clear that these impactsmdashthough often
significantmdashdid not fit easily with this studys main report and conclusions for the following reasons (1) not all
disasters result in significant ecosystem impacts (eg many earthquakes have but minor impacts on ecosystems) (2)
some extreme events have positive impacts on ecosystems (eg floods can help rejuvenate floodplain vegetation and
are important drivers of many ecological processes in floodplains) and (3) these impacts are mainly nonmarket and
are exceptionally difficult to quantify andor monetize Though there are emerging efforts in quantifying and
monetizing ecosystem services (Costanza 1997) they are in their infancy and are not yet widely accepted
Nonetheless the magnitude of the environmental impacts of many disasters compelled the committee to discuss them
and we do so in this Appendix Though no specific recommendations regarding how environmental costs should be
incorporated in loss estimates we provide here we encourage policymakers in the relevant executive branch agencies

to devote more attention and perhaps research to these issues It is important in assessing environmental impacts to
distinguish between impacts of disasters on the natural environment from those on the human-made landscape
environment As mentioned events that societies label as natural disasters may also have beneficial ecological
consequences However these benefits tend to only manifest themselves months or years after an extreme event (eg
rejuvenation of a coniferous forest months andor years after fires) or are often not readily apparent (eg recharging
of groundwater stocks after a flood) These benefits to ecological systems are of course typically overshadowed by
immediate negative impacts on societies and structures hence the use of the term natural disasters

Soils are derived from parent rock material through the process of break-up wear and tear Soil is our prime
natural and economic resource because we derive everything that we need in our life from the soil It is the soil that
provides food both for humans and animals Soil is the most valuable wealth of the country on which the prosperity
and total agricultural products is based There are various factors such as parent material vegetation climate and slope
which affect the formation of soil The change in any one of these factors cause a change in soil types and soil
character
An intimate knowledge of soil is a prerequisite for all agricultural operations and planning The role of soil is
of paramount importance in Hisar district where it provides livelihood to 70 of the total population The Hisar
district soils have developed under the arid and humid climate over the bedrocks of complex nature predominantly
under the process of laterization The present paper deals with the various types of soil of Hisar district It also

Disaster Prevention and Management in India
Om Prakash Choyal Kuchaman PG College Rajasthan
India is one of the hazard prone countries in South Asia Floods droughts landslides snowstorms hurricanes
and cyclones occur regularly Among these earthquakes floods and drought risk are extremely high These hazards
threaten millions of lives and cause large scale financial infrastructure agriculture and productivity losses that
seriously hinder Indiarsquos overall development In India the primary responsibility for responding to disaster lies at the
state and the central level The GOI have a national emergency plan for disaster management some of the state also
has a disaster management plan It can be and is called upon to assist when necessary but there is a lack of awareness
in the public Many Indian States have limited resources and lack their own disaster management plans Considering
these problems this paper attempts to throw light on a more integrated and responsive disaster management system in
India This paper will provide important information in three mutually reinforcing areas viz disaster preparedness
response and rehabilitation management The various case studies for disaster management will be discussed

Application of Geospatial Analysis in the Study of Water Borne Disease

Geographic Information System (GIS) is considered as ldquoautomated systems used for capturing store retrieve
analyze and to display spatial datardquo (Clarke etal 1996) This tool is helpful in analyzing relationships between
location environment and incidences When looking into applicability of GIS both water-borne diseases and vector-
borne diseases are widely investigated topics at global level In the present scenario GIS has an ability to identify
location of specific diseases and their spatial unusual aggregation which can help different health agencies so that they
can provide facilities and prevent further growth of incidents1
The health geography is concerned with two fundamental questions that are revolves around (i) when and
where specific disease tend to occur and why specific pattern of incidence do occur In these directions substantial
growth has been found during the last decade whereas concept of ldquoplacerdquo plays a very significant role in determining
health of people It is regarded as new perspective to look into how ldquohealthrdquo of people is influence from ldquospacerdquo
(Kwan 2012) In the recent period due to development of modern tools such as Geographic Information System
(GIS) which makes it easier to conduct spatial analysis and modeling at different levels Now with these tools modern
epidemiologist and geographers can do analysis of health both spatially and temporally (Cromley and McLafferty
2011)
Water borne diseases are considered as diseases those emerge due to consumption and ingestion of
contaminated water that may contain pathogenic viruses bacteria protozoa and other chemical substances (UNO
Health Report 2003) These pathogens are transmitted into human body through using contaminated water when
utilize for domestic purposes that may responsible for viral bacteria and parasite related diseases A report by World
Health Organization (2016) on ldquoThe situation of water-related infectious diseases in the pan-European regionrdquo define
water related diseases asany substantial effect on human health such as illness disability disorders and sometime
death due to direct or indirect alteration in the quantity or quality of water2

Urban Solid Waste Management (USWM) is most problematic and neglected aspect of Indian Cities The
high population growth and industrialization put strain on the basic infrastructural and municipal services The
Government local self governments make their best efforts to provide all basic amenities and services for meet the
demand of poses challenge before the administration for managing the huge quantity of waste generated by this large
size of population The solid waste generation is a continually growing problem at global regional and local levels
The solid waste is those organic and inorganic waste materials which are produced by various activities of the society
As a result there is considerable increase in MSW (municipal solid waste) generation in India during last few decades
In urban areas particularly in highly urbanized areas of the developing world problems and issues of municipal solid
waste management (MSWM) deserve immediate attention The present study aims at providing an overview of the
existing solid waste management practices in Chandigarh a top tier II city in India and suggests solutions to some of
the major problems being faced by the existing system An average of 400-500 tonsday of solid waste is generated in
Chandigarh municipal corporation area Chandigarh is the first city in India developed in a planned manner which has
helped in developing a comparatively better solid waste management in comparison to other Indian cities The present
study focus on existing waste management practices and it will recommend some suggestions for better management

Rural Development
Ms Priyanka Saini Jayoti Vidyapeeth Womenrsquos University Jaipur
Rural development can be defined as ldquoan integrated development of the area and the people through optimum
development and utilization of local resources-physical biological and human and by bringing about necessary
institutional structural and attitudinal changes of rural publicrdquoRural development means noticeable changes in all
these components But such changes should take place in a mutually supporting relationship so as to generate organic
and optimum development Organic development is one which maintains a healthy relationship among the various
elements or components of a system The concept of rural development was born in the context of agriculture and for
a long time it encompassed agricultural development Since 1970rsquos the concept has become more definite in its
interpretation and it is being regarded as a design to improve the economic and social life especially by extending
benefits of development to the poorest small farmers tenants and landless
Now rural development is not exclusively restricted to any single activity or area it travels many or all areas
which anyway affect upgrading enlisting and petrifying improvement of transformation in socio-economic lives of
rural 51 people Rural development means overall improvement of die quality of life for rural people It is about
reduction of poverty increasing productivity providing basic services like health education drinking water
sanitation extending infrastructure attempt to reverse distorted land distribution and ownership and host of other
aspects redressing inequality exploitation and deprivation in any conceivable sense Rural development as a concept
for planning and executing changes in rural areas is based on the assumption that production increases and social
improvements are not mutually exclusive but on the contrary are mutually strengthening The relation between the
two is complemented so heavily that development on one front cannot proceed beyond a point without a simultaneous
or prior change in the other Another trend in rural development is the special emphasis on the weaker sections of the
society ie the rural poor not merely for improving their level of living but also to bring about a greater degree of
their involvement in the development process Rural development is the ultimate analysis which involves the
provision of opportunities for optimum utilization of human resources in rural areas Human resource development in
its turn can take place only if there is adequate nutrition and working opportunities available for the rural masses

Cities are characterized by the rapid urban growth and regeneration process Consequently the land use and
land cover have been altered considerably which in lieu affected the urban environment Urban environment is a
complex entity and any sort of alteration in the urban environment makes the modern urban life unsustainable These
alterations in urban environment require changes both in lifestyle and infrastructure The expansion of Grey
infrastructure and shrinking vegetation cover have induced micro-climatic changes such as heat wave intensification
intensified urban heat island effect and winter warming effect in the study area The dominance of Grey infrastructure
means impermeable surface which affected local heat budget through increased land surface temperature Further less
vegetation cover failed to regulate temperature through cooling effect of evapo-transpiration The present research
study carries out the Geo-spatial analysis of land surface temperature and normalized difference vegetation index for
the period 1990-2015 in the study area The present research is an attempt to trace out reduction in cropland during the
period 1990-2015 in Delhi The satellite data used include Landsat- 45 (TM) Landsat -7 (ETM+) and Landsat ndash 8
(OLI) for three different time periods 1990 2000 and 2015 respectively Moreover suitable statistical techniques have
been used to conduct the present research study

there is a fluctuation in the land use pattern of the state It further analysed that the advent of modern means of
technology influenced the behaviour and thinking ability of farmers towards the use of land It is observed that
western part of the study region share the more land under the category of barren land culturable wasteland and
fallow land as compare to northern and eastern region throughout the study period It is also found that developed
irrigation facilities development of infrastructure etc are responsible for the modification in the physical
environment and this leads to change in the overall land use pattern The present study is based on secondary sources
of data Twenty years averages are drawn from 1970-71 to 2016-17 Simple statistical methods are used for deriving

In 1976 Prof Mohammed Yunus of Bangladesh started womenrsquos groups in Bangladesh and developed
thrift and savings among the poorest Self Help Group is a novel mechanism and the brainchild of Mohd Yunus a
Noble Prize Winner of 2006 in Bangladesh Now it has developed into a bank named Bangladesh Grameen Bank Its
report in February 1998 states that the bank has 1138 branches and covers 39572 villages It has 2367503 members of
which only 124571 are men With the success of BGB and similar organisations elsewhere the concept of Micro
credit has gained momentum in India Based on this success many Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) in our
country are involved in organising Self Help Groups and they serve as an agent between the bank and the poor Self
Help Groups play today a major role in poverty alleviation in rural India A growing number of poor people (mostly
women) in various parts of India are members of Self Help Groups and actively engage in savings and credit as well
as in other activities like income generation natural resources management literacy child care and nutrition etc The
Self Help Group system has proven to be very relevant and effective in offering women the possibility to break

Tourism is considered as one of the largest service industry in the world In Indian economy tourism is
playing significant role to upgrade the development and raising the gross domestic product The tourism sector
becomes increasingly important in national development North-Eastern state are very fortunate and one of the most
potential region in India to attract tourists Uniqueness of the region physical and cultural diversities can attract huge
numbers of visitors and ultimately generate income from them Though this region is counted as one of the backward
regions it has potentialities for future development Tourism sector will be the suitable for that However this sector
necessitates formulation of sustainable tourism strategy so that it can be utilized as a tool for regional development
Being a hilly state Mizoram is always attracting tourists from different parts of the country The state has potential of
adventure and rural tourism Apart from that with its cultural and ethnic uniqueness the state can attract a lot of
tourists to each of the isolated village situated in the hilltop Already the state government declared tourism as an
industry under its development policies Festivals like Anthurium Chapchar Kut are now well know and attracting
few thousands of tourists every year Anthurium festival is becoming the good earning source for the villagers in

Yamuna Chambal badlands are located at margin of south-west Gangetic plain in India It is known for
horrible land degradation by water driven erosion The expansion of gully and ravine networks on arable land is
possessing serious socio-economic challenges to the society of this region In this study an estimation of soil erosion
has been made by using Morgan-Morgan Finney Model It has been found that the average annual soil loss rate is 760
tons hactaer2 year Due to undulating surface and high intensity of rainfall in a short spell of time transport capacity
of running water is too high in this region Although seasonal vegetation cover is a dominant protection from erosion
still erosive nature of soils and steep slope makes available big amount for erosion material here The model is used to
evaluate and identify the major zone of erosion Several schemes are applied to counter the land degradation process

Urban areas are suffering from excess hotness in summer mainly due to congested built-up structures The
problem became peculiar for cities located in hot arid conditions such as Hisar in Haryana (India) A continuous
surface of Land Surface Temperature (LST) can be extracted from Landsat thermal bands Similarly different band
combinations and ratios give a spatial pattern of land cover categories Spatiotemporal pattern of temperature in and
around the Hisar city was analyzed in the present study to assess the spatial variation in temperature in the area
Landsat TM images of May 2000 and 2016 were utilized to study the spatial-temporal thermal variations and their
relationships with land cover changes in Hisar city and surrounding area which experienced rapid urbanization in past
decades Land cover classifications were derived to quantify area-specific variations and brightness temperatures were
computed from the TM thermal data to express the urban thermal environment The spatial distributions of surface
temperature indicated that thermal variations had been largely broadened and showed good agreements with a change
in land use and land cover Temperature statistics of main land cover types indicated that built-up and bare land had
higher surface temperatures than natural land covers The findings indicated that the warming effect caused by
urbanization ie mainly where the natural landscape was replaced by urban areas

Over exploitation of available natural resources for meeting the growing demand for food fuel and fiber of an
ever-increasing population has led to serious environmental degradation Globally 19644x106 ha lands are affected
by human induced degradation Of this 1903x106 ha are subject to soil erosion by water 5483x106 ha to wind
erosion 2391x106 ha to chemical deterioration 682x106 ha to compaction and 105 x 10 ha to water logging

house gases in the atmosphere resulting in global warming Thus it is obvious that the environmental degradation
process unless detected early and action taken to arrest or mitigate may lead to further deterioration and may affect
sustainable development efforts which is key concern in Agenda 21 Sustainable development of natural resources
refers to maintaining a fragile balance between productivity functions and conservation practices through
identification and monitoring of problem areas and calls for optimal utilization of available natural resources based on
their potentials and limitations while maintaining a good harmony with the environment Information on the nature
extent spatial distribution along with the potentials and limitations of natural resources is a pre-requisite to achieve
the goals of sustainable development By virtue of providing synoptic view of fairly large area at a regular interval
spaceborne multispectral measurements hold great promise in generating reliable information on various natural
resources namely soils mineral surface and ground water forest cover marine resources in a timely and cost-
effective manner Geographic Information System (GIS) offers an ideal environment for integrating spatial and
attribute data on natural resources and environment and for subsequent generation of optimal land use plan on a
micro-watershed basis Furthermore Global Positioning System (GPS) enables making precise in situ measurements
on various terrain parameters which are used for both generating baseline as well as derivative information on natural
resources for various developmental activities Advancements in weather forecasting and tele-communication further
help in effective implementation of optimal land use plansaction plans An attempt has been made in this article to
provide an overview of the magnitude of the land degradation problem concepts of sustainable development based on
conservation of land and water resources and to identify sustainability indicators and to illustrate the role of remote

Disasters are not random and do not occur by accident They are the convergence of hazards and vulnerable
conditions ie disasters take place when hazards meet vulnerable situations Natural hazards such as fires floods
earthquakes and drought are part of the natural cycles of the earth When such hazards impact on vulnerable societies-
whether it is an earthquake that collapses buildings or a drought that kills crops-that society may face a catastrophic
situation requiring emergency relief and assistance to save lives and to protect the environment Natural disasters can
have a life-altering impact on the individuals families and society and at the same time the effect of natural disasters
can be felt at the community city and state level or many times these may have an impact on entire country The
impact of disasters whether it is natural or man-made not only have human dimensions but environmental ones as
well Deforestation forest management practices agriculture systems etc can exacerbate the negative environmental

impacts of a storm leading to landslides flooding silting and groundsurface water contamination Disasters create
substantial environmental degradation and ecological imbalance hinder socio-economic development and retard the
process of improving the quality of the life of people The interaction of disasters and environment has both short-term
and long-term effects These interaction and interdependencies work in a complicated way and in turn affect people
ecosystem and bio-diversity Environmental vulnerability includes the extent of natural resource depletion reduced
access to clean air safe water sanitation and inappropriate forms of waste management especially in heavily
populated and urban environments that can aggravate socio economic vulnerability Poor environmental conditions
such as diminished biodiversity soil degradation or growing food scarcity can easily threaten food security for people
dependent on the products of land forests pastures and marine environment for their livelihoods Around the globe
land use and land cover changes are eroding the natural buffers that protect communities from hazard risk These same
changes often erode capacity of people to recover from disaster However there are several opportunities to reduce
disaster risk and enhance community resilience A comprehensive understanding of natural systems coupled with the
application of management tools such as environmental evaluation and risk assessment can make a major contribution
to the reduction of risks and mitigation of any impacts There is also a need to explore the link between environmental
systems amp disasters and also the synergies between man-made and natural disasters Changing ecological conditions
can provoke emergencies by placing concurrent stresses on the environment Mitigating the effects of disasters are
primary components in global efforts to ensure environmental security It is clear that further co-ordination and co-
operation on environmental matters depends on the ability of global community to set an environmental agenda for
disaster management and in particular to pay attention to the environmental conditions that lead to disasters and to
natural resource management for disaster prevention and reduction

Eco-friendly means not harmful to our system of environment ie not harmful to land air etc Presently due
to agriculture mainly a lot of pollutants are added day by day in our environment Because of these pollutants the soil
fertility is decreasing the fear of disease in living beings are increasing a lot of poisons chemicals and gases prevails
in the environment There is a great need to the use such a cropping system which is suitable to environment ie Eco-
friendly system of cropping The Eco-friendless of cropping system may be viewed from two different angles ie
systems which help in soil and water conservation and system which reduce the use of pesticides insecticides
herbicides organic fertilizers As far as the pesticides use is concerned at national level it is a still for below the
alarming proportions Inclusion of such crops in the cropping systems in problem areas can play a significant role in
minimizing the use of agro-chemicals in the crop production
In Haryana the use of fertilizer is increasing at a very high rate The use of fertilizers (N P K) has increased
1963 times in 2017-18 from 1970-71 The use of pesticides was also increased from 976 times in 2017-18 from
1970-71 ie from 013 tonne to 057 tonnes per hectare in 2017-18 from 1970-71 But the production of food-grain in
the year 2016-17 increases only 379 times of production in 1970-71 Similarly the average yield of important crops
in Haryana shows a little increase It may be concluded that the consumption of fertilizer and pesticides are increasing
at very high rate as compared to the production of the crops

Agriculture has an important role to play in the economic growth of an agrarian economy of IndiaWe can say
that it is backbone of our economyAgriculture contributes a large share of national income agriculture through the
provision of raw materialinfluences industrial structuretransport and other servicesAgriculture is most dominant and
important sector of Indian Economy that plays a vital role in the overall economic development of the countryThis
sector is heavily weather dependent world over more in the tropical monsoon type of climate Agriculture crops are
extremely susceptible to fluctuation in climate factors such as rainfall and temperature conditions specially there
seasonality and unpredictability Climate chage has significant effects on agriculture including changes in farm
productivity cropping pattern profitability price supply and tradeIntergovernmental panel on climate change (IPCC)
published on 31st March 2014 stresses the risk of global warming and tries to make a stronger case for governments to
adopt policy on adaption and cut greenhouse gas emissionsThe agriculture sector has low production due to a number

Earthquake is a tectonic event which is causedthrough the internal pressure released by the earth in the form
of seismic waves Earthquake reveals all other catastrophic events that pose threat to human life and property It is the
most hazardous phenomenon on the earth which has an impact on a very large area leading to deaths injuries and
other socio-economic and physical damage The influence of the earthquake depends mainly on its magnitude place
and time of occurrence Earthquakes can also create other hazards like volcanoes landslides and tsunamis
Approximately 30000 seismic tremors transpire each year in the world Out of these few earthquakes are of so low
magnitude that we cannot feel them while some are of high magnitude thereby causing lots of deaths and damages
The damage caused by the earthquakes depends on the three factors ie depth of the seismic focus the intensity of the
earthquake and itrsquos time of occurrenceNorthwestern Himalayan region lies in the subduction zone between the
Eurasian and Indian plate margins therefore it becomes more vulnerable to the earthquake hazard The region lies in
IV and V seismic zones which is very active In the present study an attempt has been made to analyze the spatial
pattern of earthquakes occurrence in northwest Himalayan region of India

Media and Environment
Sangeeta Mahana Research scholar Jayoti Vidyapeeth Womenrsquos University Jaipur
Mass media is one of the most important factors underlying the knowledge of environment problem This can
only be true on the condition that first mass media are accessible to large proportion of the population second are
spending some time on environment issues and third people are interested in information on ecological issues
provided by media so that they view or listen to the corresponding program as well as read newspaper articles or other
written publications dealing with environmental issues Television print news radio broadcast and the internet are
enlisted to help promote a ldquogreen ldquoethic and raise environmental awareness
Mass media play an important role for creating environment awareness among people These daysrsquo climate
change issues are getting the highest priority and making the headlines in print and electronic media Government and
the people depend on communication and mass Media not only for disseminating information but also in setting
agenda for the development and other allied activities
Media has the power of focusing the factor that causes environmental problems as well as adverse impacts on
people Media acts as a catalyst in enlightening the masses on issues related to climate change A section of the media
has drawn our attention on several environmental issues like Ganga River action plan chipko movement Narmada
Bachavo Andolan and Appiko movement were kept alive mainly by the coverage in various media
Media can play a great role in communication of the natural disaster of region media certain characteristics that make
them powerful instruments of disaster Communication as they provide quick and easy access to large numbers of
people located at different places It helps in highlighting the problem and difficulties faced by the people affected by
disaster
Through communication members of society share their experiences and knowledge understands each other
and generates collective wisdom Today various types of mass media enable people all over the world to interact and
learn from each other at a tremendous pace Communication with the help of mass media not only brings people but
also communities together Thus contracting the globe into the village The environment and media research
programs are made up of researchers from across film and screen studies media and communications and journalism

Application of Remote Sensing In Geography
Dr Pratap Singh Rajput Guest Lecturer Govt College Sarni Betul MP
Remote sensing in geology is remote sensing used in the geological sciences as a data acquisition method
complementary to field observation because it allows mapping of geological characteristics of regions without
physical contact with the areas being explored About one-fourth of the Earths total surface area is exposed land
where information is ready to be extracted from detailed earth observation via remote sensing Remote sensing is
conducted via detection of electromagnetic radiation by sensors The radiation can be naturally sourced (passive
remote sensing) or produced by machines (active remote sensing) and reflected off of the Earth surface The
electromagnetic radiation acts as an information carrier for two main variables First the intensities of reflectance at
different wavelengths are detected and plotted on a spectral reflectance curve This spectral fingerprint is governed by
the physio-chemical properties of the surface of the target object and therefore helps mineral identification and hence
geological mapping for example by hyper spectral Second the two-way travel time of radiation from and back to the
sensor can calculate the distance in active remote sensing systems for example Interferometric synthetic-aperture
radar This helps geomorphologic studies of ground motion and thus can illuminate deformations associated
with landslides earthquakes etc Remote sensing data can help studies involving geological mapping geological
hazards and economic geology (ie exploration for minerals petroleum etc) These geological studies commonly
employ a multitude of tools classified according to short to long wavelengths of the electromagnetic radiation which
various instruments are sensitive to Shorter wavelengths are generally useful for site characterization up to
mineralogical scale while longer wavelengths reveal larger scale surface information eg regional thermal anomalies
surface roughness etc Such techniques are particularly beneficial for exploration of inaccessible areas and planets
other than Earth

A rapidly emerging menace ie deforestation is a big concern and challenge not only before India but across
the world and poses a threat to the sustainable development of mankind Forest resource is renewable resources and is
prominent geographic feature at the global level supporting living organisms of various forms Forest is defined as a
community of living trees and associated organisms which covers a considerable area It usually refers to all lands
more than one hectare in area with a tree canopy density of more than 10 percent irrespective of ownership and legal
status India is one of the ten most forest-rich countries of the world Forestry in India is a significant rural industry
and a major environmental resource But ironically the rate of deforestation in India is alarmingly high to suit a
variety of needs especially to fulfill the agricultural pursuits

Environmental Impacts of Natural Disasters
Tek Chand Student of PU Patiala
It is recognized that many significant nonmarket effects result from natural disasters including environmental
impacts Though our committee had a keen interest in these topics it became clear that these impactsmdashthough often
significantmdashdid not fit easily with this studys main report and conclusions for the following reasons (1) not all
disasters result in significant ecosystem impacts (eg many earthquakes have but minor impacts on ecosystems) (2)
some extreme events have positive impacts on ecosystems (eg floods can help rejuvenate floodplain vegetation and
are important drivers of many ecological processes in floodplains) and (3) these impacts are mainly nonmarket and
are exceptionally difficult to quantify andor monetize Though there are emerging efforts in quantifying and
monetizing ecosystem services (Costanza 1997) they are in their infancy and are not yet widely accepted
Nonetheless the magnitude of the environmental impacts of many disasters compelled the committee to discuss them
and we do so in this Appendix Though no specific recommendations regarding how environmental costs should be
incorporated in loss estimates we provide here we encourage policymakers in the relevant executive branch agencies

to devote more attention and perhaps research to these issues It is important in assessing environmental impacts to
distinguish between impacts of disasters on the natural environment from those on the human-made landscape
environment As mentioned events that societies label as natural disasters may also have beneficial ecological
consequences However these benefits tend to only manifest themselves months or years after an extreme event (eg
rejuvenation of a coniferous forest months andor years after fires) or are often not readily apparent (eg recharging
of groundwater stocks after a flood) These benefits to ecological systems are of course typically overshadowed by
immediate negative impacts on societies and structures hence the use of the term natural disasters

Geographic Information System (GIS) is considered as ldquoautomated systems used for capturing store retrieve
analyze and to display spatial datardquo (Clarke etal 1996) This tool is helpful in analyzing relationships between
location environment and incidences When looking into applicability of GIS both water-borne diseases and vector-
borne diseases are widely investigated topics at global level In the present scenario GIS has an ability to identify
location of specific diseases and their spatial unusual aggregation which can help different health agencies so that they
can provide facilities and prevent further growth of incidents1
The health geography is concerned with two fundamental questions that are revolves around (i) when and
where specific disease tend to occur and why specific pattern of incidence do occur In these directions substantial
growth has been found during the last decade whereas concept of ldquoplacerdquo plays a very significant role in determining
health of people It is regarded as new perspective to look into how ldquohealthrdquo of people is influence from ldquospacerdquo
(Kwan 2012) In the recent period due to development of modern tools such as Geographic Information System
(GIS) which makes it easier to conduct spatial analysis and modeling at different levels Now with these tools modern
epidemiologist and geographers can do analysis of health both spatially and temporally (Cromley and McLafferty
2011)
Water borne diseases are considered as diseases those emerge due to consumption and ingestion of
contaminated water that may contain pathogenic viruses bacteria protozoa and other chemical substances (UNO
Health Report 2003) These pathogens are transmitted into human body through using contaminated water when
utilize for domestic purposes that may responsible for viral bacteria and parasite related diseases A report by World
Health Organization (2016) on ldquoThe situation of water-related infectious diseases in the pan-European regionrdquo define
water related diseases asany substantial effect on human health such as illness disability disorders and sometime
death due to direct or indirect alteration in the quantity or quality of water2

Urban Solid Waste Management (USWM) is most problematic and neglected aspect of Indian Cities The
high population growth and industrialization put strain on the basic infrastructural and municipal services The
Government local self governments make their best efforts to provide all basic amenities and services for meet the
demand of poses challenge before the administration for managing the huge quantity of waste generated by this large
size of population The solid waste generation is a continually growing problem at global regional and local levels
The solid waste is those organic and inorganic waste materials which are produced by various activities of the society
As a result there is considerable increase in MSW (municipal solid waste) generation in India during last few decades
In urban areas particularly in highly urbanized areas of the developing world problems and issues of municipal solid
waste management (MSWM) deserve immediate attention The present study aims at providing an overview of the
existing solid waste management practices in Chandigarh a top tier II city in India and suggests solutions to some of
the major problems being faced by the existing system An average of 400-500 tonsday of solid waste is generated in
Chandigarh municipal corporation area Chandigarh is the first city in India developed in a planned manner which has
helped in developing a comparatively better solid waste management in comparison to other Indian cities The present
study focus on existing waste management practices and it will recommend some suggestions for better management

Rural Development
Ms Priyanka Saini Jayoti Vidyapeeth Womenrsquos University Jaipur
Rural development can be defined as ldquoan integrated development of the area and the people through optimum
development and utilization of local resources-physical biological and human and by bringing about necessary
institutional structural and attitudinal changes of rural publicrdquoRural development means noticeable changes in all
these components But such changes should take place in a mutually supporting relationship so as to generate organic
and optimum development Organic development is one which maintains a healthy relationship among the various
elements or components of a system The concept of rural development was born in the context of agriculture and for
a long time it encompassed agricultural development Since 1970rsquos the concept has become more definite in its
interpretation and it is being regarded as a design to improve the economic and social life especially by extending
benefits of development to the poorest small farmers tenants and landless
Now rural development is not exclusively restricted to any single activity or area it travels many or all areas
which anyway affect upgrading enlisting and petrifying improvement of transformation in socio-economic lives of
rural 51 people Rural development means overall improvement of die quality of life for rural people It is about
reduction of poverty increasing productivity providing basic services like health education drinking water
sanitation extending infrastructure attempt to reverse distorted land distribution and ownership and host of other
aspects redressing inequality exploitation and deprivation in any conceivable sense Rural development as a concept
for planning and executing changes in rural areas is based on the assumption that production increases and social
improvements are not mutually exclusive but on the contrary are mutually strengthening The relation between the
two is complemented so heavily that development on one front cannot proceed beyond a point without a simultaneous
or prior change in the other Another trend in rural development is the special emphasis on the weaker sections of the
society ie the rural poor not merely for improving their level of living but also to bring about a greater degree of
their involvement in the development process Rural development is the ultimate analysis which involves the
provision of opportunities for optimum utilization of human resources in rural areas Human resource development in
its turn can take place only if there is adequate nutrition and working opportunities available for the rural masses

Cities are characterized by the rapid urban growth and regeneration process Consequently the land use and
land cover have been altered considerably which in lieu affected the urban environment Urban environment is a
complex entity and any sort of alteration in the urban environment makes the modern urban life unsustainable These
alterations in urban environment require changes both in lifestyle and infrastructure The expansion of Grey
infrastructure and shrinking vegetation cover have induced micro-climatic changes such as heat wave intensification
intensified urban heat island effect and winter warming effect in the study area The dominance of Grey infrastructure
means impermeable surface which affected local heat budget through increased land surface temperature Further less
vegetation cover failed to regulate temperature through cooling effect of evapo-transpiration The present research
study carries out the Geo-spatial analysis of land surface temperature and normalized difference vegetation index for
the period 1990-2015 in the study area The present research is an attempt to trace out reduction in cropland during the
period 1990-2015 in Delhi The satellite data used include Landsat- 45 (TM) Landsat -7 (ETM+) and Landsat ndash 8
(OLI) for three different time periods 1990 2000 and 2015 respectively Moreover suitable statistical techniques have
been used to conduct the present research study

Climate Change and its present day scenario
Rajwinder Singh Assistant Professor Isharjyot Degree College Pehowa
Climate change is an ever going process of nature nothing remained stable in the history of the earth weather
it is its landforms oceans and nor does its climate remained stable at all the time Today the major concern is about
the climate change that we are facing the rate of change has been accelerated in the past few decades Today
Anthropogenic factors are the biggest contributors for the emission of greenhouse gases globally July 2019 was the
hottest month ever recorded on the earth which clearly indicates how worse the situation is This changing scenario
will have its adverse effect For example the rate of forest fires will increase availability and quality of water will also
deteriorate in future On the whole climate change will have an adverse effect on every sphere of life like Agriculture

Air Pollution By Stubble Burning and Its Impact
Basant Singh
The paper presents the major environment issue regarding air pollution due to stubble burning in Haryana
Haryana lies in indo Gangetic plain The fertile land is good for extensive farming In Haryana paddy and wheat
production is higher than other farming These farming generate a huge amount of agricultural wastes in the form of
stubble The farmer is using fire to remove the stubble Burning of stubble released various Gaseous in the atmosphere
such as Carbon dioxside (co2) carbon monoxide(co)Methane (CH4) Nitrogen oxide(No) and sulphur oxside (sox) as
well as huge quantity of particulate Matter (PM10) and 25 microns or less (PM25) These gaseous causing negative
impact on human health and Global warming The management of crop residue is much important to reduce air
pollution The government takes action to solve the problem of stubble burning or make policies

there is a fluctuation in the land use pattern of the state It further analysed that the advent of modern means of
technology influenced the behaviour and thinking ability of farmers towards the use of land It is observed that
western part of the study region share the more land under the category of barren land culturable wasteland and
fallow land as compare to northern and eastern region throughout the study period It is also found that developed
irrigation facilities development of infrastructure etc are responsible for the modification in the physical
environment and this leads to change in the overall land use pattern The present study is based on secondary sources
of data Twenty years averages are drawn from 1970-71 to 2016-17 Simple statistical methods are used for deriving
the results and cartographic techniques are applied for mapping the results

Flood as disaster results in large scale loss of life and property in the Kosi-Mahananda Doab region of Bihar
Though frequent flood events in Kosi-river have made it lsquoSorrow of Biharrsquo but administrative machinery worked
inefficiently and proved failure in mitigation of flood as disaster in the study area The poor implementation of
management policy poor involvement of local bodies and community-based organizations (CBOs) and weak
participation of local government and unsustainable and uneconomic mobilization of resource are major key issues
resulting in improper and inefficient management plan to mitigate flood as disaster Administrative machinery and
prevailing red tapism results in discrimination in survey delay in relief poor monitoring and evaluation poor
representation lackadaisical attitude of concerned departments The present research article investigates various
factors responsible for administrative crisis and inefficient disaster management plan related to floods in Kosi-
Mahananda doab region Further recommendations and suggestions have been made to improve mitigation measures
of flood in the study area

Origin and History of Women Self Help Groups in India on Rural Development
Dr K Rani Lakshmi Professor amp Dean FHSS IASE Deemed To Be University
In 1976 Prof Mohammed Yunus of Bangladesh started womenrsquos groups in Bangladesh and developed
thrift and savings among the poorest Self Help Group is a novel mechanism and the brainchild of Mohd Yunus a
Noble Prize Winner of 2006 in Bangladesh Now it has developed into a bank named Bangladesh Grameen Bank Its
report in February 1998 states that the bank has 1138 branches and covers 39572 villages It has 2367503 members of
which only 124571 are men With the success of BGB and similar organisations elsewhere the concept of Micro
credit has gained momentum in India Based on this success many Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) in our
country are involved in organising Self Help Groups and they serve as an agent between the bank and the poor Self
Help Groups play today a major role in poverty alleviation in rural India A growing number of poor people (mostly
women) in various parts of India are members of Self Help Groups and actively engage in savings and credit as well
as in other activities like income generation natural resources management literacy child care and nutrition etc The
Self Help Group system has proven to be very relevant and effective in offering women the possibility to break
gradually away from exploitation and isolation

Tourism as a Tool of Rural Development a case study of Mizoram Tourism
Dr Ashutosh Singh Assistant Professor Department of Geography Pachhunga University College Mizoram
Dr Ghanashyam Deka Assistant Professor Department of Geography Pachhunga University Mizoram
Tourism is considered as one of the largest service industry in the world In Indian economy tourism is
playing significant role to upgrade the development and raising the gross domestic product The tourism sector
becomes increasingly important in national development North-Eastern state are very fortunate and one of the most
potential region in India to attract tourists Uniqueness of the region physical and cultural diversities can attract huge
numbers of visitors and ultimately generate income from them Though this region is counted as one of the backward
regions it has potentialities for future development Tourism sector will be the suitable for that However this sector
necessitates formulation of sustainable tourism strategy so that it can be utilized as a tool for regional development
Being a hilly state Mizoram is always attracting tourists from different parts of the country The state has potential of
adventure and rural tourism Apart from that with its cultural and ethnic uniqueness the state can attract a lot of
tourists to each of the isolated village situated in the hilltop Already the state government declared tourism as an
industry under its development policies Festivals like Anthurium Chapchar Kut are now well know and attracting
few thousands of tourists every year Anthurium festival is becoming the good earning source for the villagers in
Reiek This paper is an attempt to study the role of tourism in rural development in light of Anthurium

Water is primary part of life and essential for human life It is play a major role in human being even we can
say in biotic organism life Human body made with the help of 60 water It can be said water is life itself Without
water no field of human activity is complete Today human is using water resources very badly for own benefit The
ground water decline continuously is a very thinking and understandable an issue There is not state government
responsible but local people also As like people blame on government the decline of ground water is result of
agriculture model and polices of government The ground water level of district Sangrur is continuously decline
Which is a very serious issue This issue can be seen in association with climate chance If this continues the day is
not far when District of Sangrur will be completely transformed into a desert

Soil Erosion Modelling Using MMF Model amp Degradation Mitigation Strategy for Rural Development of
Badlands Area of Etawah UP
Hemant Kumar Assistant Professor Department of Geography RPS Degree College Mahendergarh Haryana
Yamuna Chambal badlands are located at margin of south-west Gangetic plain in India It is known for
horrible land degradation by water driven erosion The expansion of gully and ravine networks on arable land is
possessing serious socio-economic challenges to the society of this region In this study an estimation of soil erosion
has been made by using Morgan-Morgan Finney Model It has been found that the average annual soil loss rate is 760
tons hactaer2 year Due to undulating surface and high intensity of rainfall in a short spell of time transport capacity
of running water is too high in this region Although seasonal vegetation cover is a dominant protection from erosion
still erosive nature of soils and steep slope makes available big amount for erosion material here The model is used to
evaluate and identify the major zone of erosion Several schemes are applied to counter the land degradation process
here An evaluation of conservation and mitigation schemes has been done

Urban areas are suffering from excess hotness in summer mainly due to congested built-up structures The
problem became peculiar for cities located in hot arid conditions such as Hisar in Haryana (India) A continuous
surface of Land Surface Temperature (LST) can be extracted from Landsat thermal bands Similarly different band
combinations and ratios give a spatial pattern of land cover categories Spatiotemporal pattern of temperature in and
around the Hisar city was analyzed in the present study to assess the spatial variation in temperature in the area
Landsat TM images of May 2000 and 2016 were utilized to study the spatial-temporal thermal variations and their
relationships with land cover changes in Hisar city and surrounding area which experienced rapid urbanization in past
decades Land cover classifications were derived to quantify area-specific variations and brightness temperatures were
computed from the TM thermal data to express the urban thermal environment The spatial distributions of surface
temperature indicated that thermal variations had been largely broadened and showed good agreements with a change
in land use and land cover Temperature statistics of main land cover types indicated that built-up and bare land had
higher surface temperatures than natural land covers The findings indicated that the warming effect caused by
urbanization ie mainly where the natural landscape was replaced by urban areas

Application of Remote Sensing in Sustainable Development
Dr KR Koshe Asst Professor Dept Of Geography Govt MGM PG College Itarsi (MP)
Over exploitation of available natural resources for meeting the growing demand for food fuel and fiber of an
ever-increasing population has led to serious environmental degradation Globally 19644x106 ha lands are affected
by human induced degradation Of this 1903x106 ha are subject to soil erosion by water 5483x106 ha to wind
erosion 2391x106 ha to chemical deterioration 682x106 ha to compaction and 105 x 10 ha to water logging

house gases in the atmosphere resulting in global warming Thus it is obvious that the environmental degradation
process unless detected early and action taken to arrest or mitigate may lead to further deterioration and may affect
sustainable development efforts which is key concern in Agenda 21 Sustainable development of natural resources
refers to maintaining a fragile balance between productivity functions and conservation practices through
identification and monitoring of problem areas and calls for optimal utilization of available natural resources based on
their potentials and limitations while maintaining a good harmony with the environment Information on the nature
extent spatial distribution along with the potentials and limitations of natural resources is a pre-requisite to achieve
the goals of sustainable development By virtue of providing synoptic view of fairly large area at a regular interval
spaceborne multispectral measurements hold great promise in generating reliable information on various natural
resources namely soils mineral surface and ground water forest cover marine resources in a timely and cost-
effective manner Geographic Information System (GIS) offers an ideal environment for integrating spatial and
attribute data on natural resources and environment and for subsequent generation of optimal land use plan on a
micro-watershed basis Furthermore Global Positioning System (GPS) enables making precise in situ measurements
on various terrain parameters which are used for both generating baseline as well as derivative information on natural
resources for various developmental activities Advancements in weather forecasting and tele-communication further
help in effective implementation of optimal land use plansaction plans An attempt has been made in this article to
provide an overview of the magnitude of the land degradation problem concepts of sustainable development based on
conservation of land and water resources and to identify sustainability indicators and to illustrate the role of remote
sensing GIS GPS and digital photogrammetry A few case studies are cited on the success stories on sustainable

Internet has affected the preferred learning styles of young people wanting to learn English around the world
Teachers to remain relevant and effective need to use learning technologies to help students reach the world outside
the classroom Teachers now adhere to innovative practices in teaching- learning process and have changed their roles
into lsquofacilitatorsrsquo The role of teacher demands to promote more group tasks and stress- free learning environments
Social media is emerging in various forms to bring people together as communities It is not denied that there is also a
controversy on using new Social Media such as Face book whats up or Web Chat But in the present global scenario
when millions live and breathe on social media teachers are learning how to incorporate the medium into the
classroom successfully The social media tools help the language teachers to stay connected with their peers around
the world and stay updated about their fields Moreover these online buttons give the language teachers the chance to
help others in their fields find solutions to their problems and improve their teaching language careers This paper

Disasters are not random and do not occur by accident They are the convergence of hazards and vulnerable
conditions ie disasters take place when hazards meet vulnerable situations Natural hazards such as fires floods
earthquakes and drought are part of the natural cycles of the earth When such hazards impact on vulnerable societies-
whether it is an earthquake that collapses buildings or a drought that kills crops-that society may face a catastrophic
situation requiring emergency relief and assistance to save lives and to protect the environment Natural disasters can
have a life-altering impact on the individuals families and society and at the same time the effect of natural disasters
can be felt at the community city and state level or many times these may have an impact on entire country The
impact of disasters whether it is natural or man-made not only have human dimensions but environmental ones as
well Deforestation forest management practices agriculture systems etc can exacerbate the negative environmental

impacts of a storm leading to landslides flooding silting and groundsurface water contamination Disasters create
substantial environmental degradation and ecological imbalance hinder socio-economic development and retard the
process of improving the quality of the life of people The interaction of disasters and environment has both short-term
and long-term effects These interaction and interdependencies work in a complicated way and in turn affect people
ecosystem and bio-diversity Environmental vulnerability includes the extent of natural resource depletion reduced
access to clean air safe water sanitation and inappropriate forms of waste management especially in heavily
populated and urban environments that can aggravate socio economic vulnerability Poor environmental conditions
such as diminished biodiversity soil degradation or growing food scarcity can easily threaten food security for people
dependent on the products of land forests pastures and marine environment for their livelihoods Around the globe
land use and land cover changes are eroding the natural buffers that protect communities from hazard risk These same
changes often erode capacity of people to recover from disaster However there are several opportunities to reduce
disaster risk and enhance community resilience A comprehensive understanding of natural systems coupled with the
application of management tools such as environmental evaluation and risk assessment can make a major contribution
to the reduction of risks and mitigation of any impacts There is also a need to explore the link between environmental
systems amp disasters and also the synergies between man-made and natural disasters Changing ecological conditions
can provoke emergencies by placing concurrent stresses on the environment Mitigating the effects of disasters are
primary components in global efforts to ensure environmental security It is clear that further co-ordination and co-
operation on environmental matters depends on the ability of global community to set an environmental agenda for
disaster management and in particular to pay attention to the environmental conditions that lead to disasters and to
natural resource management for disaster prevention and reduction

Eco-friendly means not harmful to our system of environment ie not harmful to land air etc Presently due
to agriculture mainly a lot of pollutants are added day by day in our environment Because of these pollutants the soil
fertility is decreasing the fear of disease in living beings are increasing a lot of poisons chemicals and gases prevails
in the environment There is a great need to the use such a cropping system which is suitable to environment ie Eco-
friendly system of cropping The Eco-friendless of cropping system may be viewed from two different angles ie
systems which help in soil and water conservation and system which reduce the use of pesticides insecticides
herbicides organic fertilizers As far as the pesticides use is concerned at national level it is a still for below the
alarming proportions Inclusion of such crops in the cropping systems in problem areas can play a significant role in
minimizing the use of agro-chemicals in the crop production
In Haryana the use of fertilizer is increasing at a very high rate The use of fertilizers (N P K) has increased
1963 times in 2017-18 from 1970-71 The use of pesticides was also increased from 976 times in 2017-18 from
1970-71 ie from 013 tonne to 057 tonnes per hectare in 2017-18 from 1970-71 But the production of food-grain in
the year 2016-17 increases only 379 times of production in 1970-71 Similarly the average yield of important crops
in Haryana shows a little increase It may be concluded that the consumption of fertilizer and pesticides are increasing
at very high rate as compared to the production of the crops

Earthquake is a tectonic event which is causedthrough the internal pressure released by the earth in the form
of seismic waves Earthquake reveals all other catastrophic events that pose threat to human life and property It is the
most hazardous phenomenon on the earth which has an impact on a very large area leading to deaths injuries and
other socio-economic and physical damage The influence of the earthquake depends mainly on its magnitude place
and time of occurrence Earthquakes can also create other hazards like volcanoes landslides and tsunamis
Approximately 30000 seismic tremors transpire each year in the world Out of these few earthquakes are of so low
magnitude that we cannot feel them while some are of high magnitude thereby causing lots of deaths and damages
The damage caused by the earthquakes depends on the three factors ie depth of the seismic focus the intensity of the
earthquake and itrsquos time of occurrenceNorthwestern Himalayan region lies in the subduction zone between the
Eurasian and Indian plate margins therefore it becomes more vulnerable to the earthquake hazard The region lies in
IV and V seismic zones which is very active In the present study an attempt has been made to analyze the spatial
pattern of earthquakes occurrence in northwest Himalayan region of India

Mass media is one of the most important factors underlying the knowledge of environment problem This can
only be true on the condition that first mass media are accessible to large proportion of the population second are
spending some time on environment issues and third people are interested in information on ecological issues
provided by media so that they view or listen to the corresponding program as well as read newspaper articles or other
written publications dealing with environmental issues Television print news radio broadcast and the internet are
enlisted to help promote a ldquogreen ldquoethic and raise environmental awareness
Mass media play an important role for creating environment awareness among people These daysrsquo climate
change issues are getting the highest priority and making the headlines in print and electronic media Government and
the people depend on communication and mass Media not only for disseminating information but also in setting
agenda for the development and other allied activities
Media has the power of focusing the factor that causes environmental problems as well as adverse impacts on
people Media acts as a catalyst in enlightening the masses on issues related to climate change A section of the media
has drawn our attention on several environmental issues like Ganga River action plan chipko movement Narmada
Bachavo Andolan and Appiko movement were kept alive mainly by the coverage in various media
Media can play a great role in communication of the natural disaster of region media certain characteristics that make
them powerful instruments of disaster Communication as they provide quick and easy access to large numbers of
people located at different places It helps in highlighting the problem and difficulties faced by the people affected by
disaster
Through communication members of society share their experiences and knowledge understands each other
and generates collective wisdom Today various types of mass media enable people all over the world to interact and
learn from each other at a tremendous pace Communication with the help of mass media not only brings people but
also communities together Thus contracting the globe into the village The environment and media research

Application of Remote Sensing In Geography
Dr Pratap Singh Rajput Guest Lecturer Govt College Sarni Betul MP
Remote sensing in geology is remote sensing used in the geological sciences as a data acquisition method
complementary to field observation because it allows mapping of geological characteristics of regions without
physical contact with the areas being explored About one-fourth of the Earths total surface area is exposed land
where information is ready to be extracted from detailed earth observation via remote sensing Remote sensing is
conducted via detection of electromagnetic radiation by sensors The radiation can be naturally sourced (passive
remote sensing) or produced by machines (active remote sensing) and reflected off of the Earth surface The
electromagnetic radiation acts as an information carrier for two main variables First the intensities of reflectance at
different wavelengths are detected and plotted on a spectral reflectance curve This spectral fingerprint is governed by
the physio-chemical properties of the surface of the target object and therefore helps mineral identification and hence
geological mapping for example by hyper spectral Second the two-way travel time of radiation from and back to the
sensor can calculate the distance in active remote sensing systems for example Interferometric synthetic-aperture
radar This helps geomorphologic studies of ground motion and thus can illuminate deformations associated
with landslides earthquakes etc Remote sensing data can help studies involving geological mapping geological
hazards and economic geology (ie exploration for minerals petroleum etc) These geological studies commonly
employ a multitude of tools classified according to short to long wavelengths of the electromagnetic radiation which
various instruments are sensitive to Shorter wavelengths are generally useful for site characterization up to
mineralogical scale while longer wavelengths reveal larger scale surface information eg regional thermal anomalies
surface roughness etc Such techniques are particularly beneficial for exploration of inaccessible areas and planets
other than Earth

Environmental Impacts of Natural Disasters
Tek Chand Student of PU Patiala
It is recognized that many significant nonmarket effects result from natural disasters including environmental
impacts Though our committee had a keen interest in these topics it became clear that these impactsmdashthough often
significantmdashdid not fit easily with this studys main report and conclusions for the following reasons (1) not all
disasters result in significant ecosystem impacts (eg many earthquakes have but minor impacts on ecosystems) (2)
some extreme events have positive impacts on ecosystems (eg floods can help rejuvenate floodplain vegetation and
are important drivers of many ecological processes in floodplains) and (3) these impacts are mainly nonmarket and
are exceptionally difficult to quantify andor monetize Though there are emerging efforts in quantifying and
monetizing ecosystem services (Costanza 1997) they are in their infancy and are not yet widely accepted
Nonetheless the magnitude of the environmental impacts of many disasters compelled the committee to discuss them
and we do so in this Appendix Though no specific recommendations regarding how environmental costs should be
incorporated in loss estimates we provide here we encourage policymakers in the relevant executive branch agencies

to devote more attention and perhaps research to these issues It is important in assessing environmental impacts to
distinguish between impacts of disasters on the natural environment from those on the human-made landscape
environment As mentioned events that societies label as natural disasters may also have beneficial ecological
consequences However these benefits tend to only manifest themselves months or years after an extreme event (eg
rejuvenation of a coniferous forest months andor years after fires) or are often not readily apparent (eg recharging
of groundwater stocks after a flood) These benefits to ecological systems are of course typically overshadowed by
immediate negative impacts on societies and structures hence the use of the term natural disasters

sustenance and sustainable economic development In view of the rapid increase in population urbanization and
industrialization the demand for water for meeting various requirements is continuously increasing Therefore we are
facing numerous challenges in the water sector which include reducing per capita water availability the decline in
groundwater table in many areas and saltwater intrusion in coastal aquifers The quality of surface water and
groundwater is also deteriorating because of increasing pollutant loads from various sources Climate change may also
adversely affect the availability and distribution of water resources This article presents an overview of relevant
issues pertaining to development and management of water resources in India

Water resource Management and Landform Anomalies in Foothills of Siwaliks
Dr Arti Singh Researcher Society for Application Research and Consultancy (SC) New Delhi
The learning present an perceptive of landforms and its characteristics for water resource management in the
Foothills of siwaliks the study area forming a mountain ecosystem of the lesser Himalayas represents a part of the
Siwaliks extending between 30deg 19rsquo N and 77deg 35rsquo E from the Badshahibagh Rao and 30deg 11rsquo N and 77deg 55rsquo E the
Mohand Rao rivers The study focuses on various landforms found in the study area and its relation with the water
resource It is well known that the Practical and philosophical impediments are upsetting modern attempts to achieve a
satisfying understanding of landforms and their genesis In recent years spatial application has made this study a much
interesting and knowledgeable The present paper focuses the water Resource study of Mohand area in Lower siwaliks
with the application of remote sensing and GIS as a tool It is found the piedmont zone is a good recharge zone for
water The scarcity of water is mainly with the streams along all the major rivers especially in the areas of structural
and denudo structural hills of the upper and middle portion of the study area The barkala fan area can play a vital role
as a main source of water recharge with the rain water harvesting techniques Different thematic layers are prepared
using remote sensing and GIS for the assessment of water resources status The union coverage of land use land

cover geology geomorphology soil and slope status maps have been incorporated in the Arc GIS environment as
input coverage The existing water resource classes have been reclassified according to the criterion statement five
classes of water resources can be regrouped into three classes such as good moderate and poor status of water
resources in the study area Overall results show that nearly 60 of the geographical area has good and moderate
resources Another major part of poor resource areas need to be reclaimed to restore and improve its resource status
The method used is incorporation of DEM of study area to see the major anomalies of study area and its role in overall
water resource management in the piedmont Some dugwells of the area is estimated with measurements (in mts) for
the better results Finally the conclusion shows that there is a comparative role of geomorphology and landform for
water resource management in the area therefore Resource management planning strategy has been suggested

Application of Geospatial Analysis in the Study of Water Borne Disease

Geographic Information System (GIS) is considered as ldquoautomated systems used for capturing store retrieve
analyze and to display spatial datardquo (Clarke etal 1996) This tool is helpful in analyzing relationships between
location environment and incidences When looking into applicability of GIS both water-borne diseases and vector-
borne diseases are widely investigated topics at global level In the present scenario GIS has an ability to identify
location of specific diseases and their spatial unusual aggregation which can help different health agencies so that they
can provide facilities and prevent further growth of incidents1
The health geography is concerned with two fundamental questions that are revolves around (i) when and
where specific disease tend to occur and why specific pattern of incidence do occur In these directions substantial
growth has been found during the last decade whereas concept of ldquoplacerdquo plays a very significant role in determining
health of people It is regarded as new perspective to look into how ldquohealthrdquo of people is influence from ldquospacerdquo
(Kwan 2012) In the recent period due to development of modern tools such as Geographic Information System
(GIS) which makes it easier to conduct spatial analysis and modeling at different levels Now with these tools modern
epidemiologist and geographers can do analysis of health both spatially and temporally (Cromley and McLafferty
2011)
Water borne diseases are considered as diseases those emerge due to consumption and ingestion of
contaminated water that may contain pathogenic viruses bacteria protozoa and other chemical substances (UNO
Health Report 2003) These pathogens are transmitted into human body through using contaminated water when
utilize for domestic purposes that may responsible for viral bacteria and parasite related diseases A report by World
Health Organization (2016) on ldquoThe situation of water-related infectious diseases in the pan-European regionrdquo define
water related diseases asany substantial effect on human health such as illness disability disorders and sometime
death due to direct or indirect alteration in the quantity or quality of water2

Urban Solid Waste Management (USWM) is most problematic and neglected aspect of Indian Cities The
high population growth and industrialization put strain on the basic infrastructural and municipal services The
Government local self governments make their best efforts to provide all basic amenities and services for meet the
demand of poses challenge before the administration for managing the huge quantity of waste generated by this large
size of population The solid waste generation is a continually growing problem at global regional and local levels
The solid waste is those organic and inorganic waste materials which are produced by various activities of the society
As a result there is considerable increase in MSW (municipal solid waste) generation in India during last few decades
In urban areas particularly in highly urbanized areas of the developing world problems and issues of municipal solid
waste management (MSWM) deserve immediate attention The present study aims at providing an overview of the
existing solid waste management practices in Chandigarh a top tier II city in India and suggests solutions to some of
the major problems being faced by the existing system An average of 400-500 tonsday of solid waste is generated in
Chandigarh municipal corporation area Chandigarh is the first city in India developed in a planned manner which has
helped in developing a comparatively better solid waste management in comparison to other Indian cities The present
study focus on existing waste management practices and it will recommend some suggestions for better management

Rural Development
Ms Priyanka Saini Jayoti Vidyapeeth Womenrsquos University Jaipur
Rural development can be defined as ldquoan integrated development of the area and the people through optimum
development and utilization of local resources-physical biological and human and by bringing about necessary
institutional structural and attitudinal changes of rural publicrdquoRural development means noticeable changes in all
these components But such changes should take place in a mutually supporting relationship so as to generate organic
and optimum development Organic development is one which maintains a healthy relationship among the various
elements or components of a system The concept of rural development was born in the context of agriculture and for
a long time it encompassed agricultural development Since 1970rsquos the concept has become more definite in its
interpretation and it is being regarded as a design to improve the economic and social life especially by extending
benefits of development to the poorest small farmers tenants and landless
Now rural development is not exclusively restricted to any single activity or area it travels many or all areas
which anyway affect upgrading enlisting and petrifying improvement of transformation in socio-economic lives of
rural 51 people Rural development means overall improvement of die quality of life for rural people It is about
reduction of poverty increasing productivity providing basic services like health education drinking water
sanitation extending infrastructure attempt to reverse distorted land distribution and ownership and host of other
aspects redressing inequality exploitation and deprivation in any conceivable sense Rural development as a concept
for planning and executing changes in rural areas is based on the assumption that production increases and social
improvements are not mutually exclusive but on the contrary are mutually strengthening The relation between the
two is complemented so heavily that development on one front cannot proceed beyond a point without a simultaneous
or prior change in the other Another trend in rural development is the special emphasis on the weaker sections of the
society ie the rural poor not merely for improving their level of living but also to bring about a greater degree of
their involvement in the development process Rural development is the ultimate analysis which involves the
provision of opportunities for optimum utilization of human resources in rural areas Human resource development in
its turn can take place only if there is adequate nutrition and working opportunities available for the rural masses

A Geo-Spatial Study of Urban Environment with special reference to Land Surface Temperature and
Normalized Difference Vegetation Index in Delhi India
National Conference on ldquoMethods amp Applications of Geospatial Technology in Sustainable Developmentrdquo
Souvenir 2020 Page 14
Dr Sandesh Yadav Freelance Researcher and Alumni Dept of Geography Jamia Millia Islamia New Delhi
Cities are characterized by the rapid urban growth and regeneration process Consequently the land use and
land cover have been altered considerably which in lieu affected the urban environment Urban environment is a
complex entity and any sort of alteration in the urban environment makes the modern urban life unsustainable These
alterations in urban environment require changes both in lifestyle and infrastructure The expansion of Grey
infrastructure and shrinking vegetation cover have induced micro-climatic changes such as heat wave intensification
intensified urban heat island effect and winter warming effect in the study area The dominance of Grey infrastructure
means impermeable surface which affected local heat budget through increased land surface temperature Further less
vegetation cover failed to regulate temperature through cooling effect of evapo-transpiration The present research
study carries out the Geo-spatial analysis of land surface temperature and normalized difference vegetation index for
the period 1990-2015 in the study area The present research is an attempt to trace out reduction in cropland during the
period 1990-2015 in Delhi The satellite data used include Landsat- 45 (TM) Landsat -7 (ETM+) and Landsat ndash 8
(OLI) for three different time periods 1990 2000 and 2015 respectively Moreover suitable statistical techniques have
been used to conduct the present research study

Climate Change and its present day scenario
Rajwinder Singh Assistant Professor Isharjyot Degree College Pehowa
Climate change is an ever going process of nature nothing remained stable in the history of the earth weather
it is its landforms oceans and nor does its climate remained stable at all the time Today the major concern is about
the climate change that we are facing the rate of change has been accelerated in the past few decades Today
Anthropogenic factors are the biggest contributors for the emission of greenhouse gases globally July 2019 was the
hottest month ever recorded on the earth which clearly indicates how worse the situation is This changing scenario
will have its adverse effect For example the rate of forest fires will increase availability and quality of water will also
deteriorate in future On the whole climate change will have an adverse effect on every sphere of life like Agriculture
Forestry Biodiversity water as well as health

Air Pollution By Stubble Burning and Its Impact
Basant Singh
The paper presents the major environment issue regarding air pollution due to stubble burning in Haryana
Haryana lies in indo Gangetic plain The fertile land is good for extensive farming In Haryana paddy and wheat
production is higher than other farming These farming generate a huge amount of agricultural wastes in the form of
stubble The farmer is using fire to remove the stubble Burning of stubble released various Gaseous in the atmosphere
such as Carbon dioxside (co2) carbon monoxide(co)Methane (CH4) Nitrogen oxide(No) and sulphur oxside (sox) as
well as huge quantity of particulate Matter (PM10) and 25 microns or less (PM25) These gaseous causing negative
impact on human health and Global warming The management of crop residue is much important to reduce air
pollution The government takes action to solve the problem of stubble burning or make policies

Alka Rani Research Scholar Department of Geography Punjabi University Patiala
The major objective of the present paper is to explain the land use pattern and factors responsible for this in
Rajasthan during the study period For achieving the aim the present study is divided into four parts At the end
conclusions are drawn on the basis of observations Land use may be defined as the major indicator of change in the
field of agriculture It is responsible for the diversification in the agricultural development The study had noted that
National Conference on ldquoMethods amp Applications of Geospatial Technology in Sustainable Developmentrdquo
Souvenir 2020 Page 15
there is a fluctuation in the land use pattern of the state It further analysed that the advent of modern means of
technology influenced the behaviour and thinking ability of farmers towards the use of land It is observed that
western part of the study region share the more land under the category of barren land culturable wasteland and
fallow land as compare to northern and eastern region throughout the study period It is also found that developed
irrigation facilities development of infrastructure etc are responsible for the modification in the physical
environment and this leads to change in the overall land use pattern The present study is based on secondary sources
of data Twenty years averages are drawn from 1970-71 to 2016-17 Simple statistical methods are used for deriving
the results and cartographic techniques are applied for mapping the results

Flood as disaster results in large scale loss of life and property in the Kosi-Mahananda Doab region of Bihar
Though frequent flood events in Kosi-river have made it lsquoSorrow of Biharrsquo but administrative machinery worked
inefficiently and proved failure in mitigation of flood as disaster in the study area The poor implementation of
management policy poor involvement of local bodies and community-based organizations (CBOs) and weak
participation of local government and unsustainable and uneconomic mobilization of resource are major key issues
resulting in improper and inefficient management plan to mitigate flood as disaster Administrative machinery and
prevailing red tapism results in discrimination in survey delay in relief poor monitoring and evaluation poor
representation lackadaisical attitude of concerned departments The present research article investigates various
factors responsible for administrative crisis and inefficient disaster management plan related to floods in Kosi-
Mahananda doab region Further recommendations and suggestions have been made to improve mitigation measures

Origin and History of Women Self Help Groups in India on Rural Development
Dr K Rani Lakshmi Professor amp Dean FHSS IASE Deemed To Be University
In 1976 Prof Mohammed Yunus of Bangladesh started womenrsquos groups in Bangladesh and developed
thrift and savings among the poorest Self Help Group is a novel mechanism and the brainchild of Mohd Yunus a
Noble Prize Winner of 2006 in Bangladesh Now it has developed into a bank named Bangladesh Grameen Bank Its
report in February 1998 states that the bank has 1138 branches and covers 39572 villages It has 2367503 members of
which only 124571 are men With the success of BGB and similar organisations elsewhere the concept of Micro
credit has gained momentum in India Based on this success many Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) in our
country are involved in organising Self Help Groups and they serve as an agent between the bank and the poor Self
Help Groups play today a major role in poverty alleviation in rural India A growing number of poor people (mostly
women) in various parts of India are members of Self Help Groups and actively engage in savings and credit as well
as in other activities like income generation natural resources management literacy child care and nutrition etc The
Self Help Group system has proven to be very relevant and effective in offering women the possibility to break

Dr Ghanashyam Deka Assistant Professor Department of Geography Pachhunga University Mizoram
Tourism is considered as one of the largest service industry in the world In Indian economy tourism is
playing significant role to upgrade the development and raising the gross domestic product The tourism sector
becomes increasingly important in national development North-Eastern state are very fortunate and one of the most
potential region in India to attract tourists Uniqueness of the region physical and cultural diversities can attract huge
numbers of visitors and ultimately generate income from them Though this region is counted as one of the backward
regions it has potentialities for future development Tourism sector will be the suitable for that However this sector
necessitates formulation of sustainable tourism strategy so that it can be utilized as a tool for regional development
Being a hilly state Mizoram is always attracting tourists from different parts of the country The state has potential of
adventure and rural tourism Apart from that with its cultural and ethnic uniqueness the state can attract a lot of
tourists to each of the isolated village situated in the hilltop Already the state government declared tourism as an
industry under its development policies Festivals like Anthurium Chapchar Kut are now well know and attracting
few thousands of tourists every year Anthurium festival is becoming the good earning source for the villagers in

water no field of human activity is complete Today human is using water resources very badly for own benefit The
ground water decline continuously is a very thinking and understandable an issue There is not state government
responsible but local people also As like people blame on government the decline of ground water is result of
agriculture model and polices of government The ground water level of district Sangrur is continuously decline
Which is a very serious issue This issue can be seen in association with climate chance If this continues the day is

Yamuna Chambal badlands are located at margin of south-west Gangetic plain in India It is known for
horrible land degradation by water driven erosion The expansion of gully and ravine networks on arable land is
possessing serious socio-economic challenges to the society of this region In this study an estimation of soil erosion
has been made by using Morgan-Morgan Finney Model It has been found that the average annual soil loss rate is 760
tons hactaer2 year Due to undulating surface and high intensity of rainfall in a short spell of time transport capacity
of running water is too high in this region Although seasonal vegetation cover is a dominant protection from erosion
still erosive nature of soils and steep slope makes available big amount for erosion material here The model is used to
evaluate and identify the major zone of erosion Several schemes are applied to counter the land degradation process

Urban areas are suffering from excess hotness in summer mainly due to congested built-up structures The
problem became peculiar for cities located in hot arid conditions such as Hisar in Haryana (India) A continuous
surface of Land Surface Temperature (LST) can be extracted from Landsat thermal bands Similarly different band
combinations and ratios give a spatial pattern of land cover categories Spatiotemporal pattern of temperature in and
around the Hisar city was analyzed in the present study to assess the spatial variation in temperature in the area
Landsat TM images of May 2000 and 2016 were utilized to study the spatial-temporal thermal variations and their
relationships with land cover changes in Hisar city and surrounding area which experienced rapid urbanization in past
decades Land cover classifications were derived to quantify area-specific variations and brightness temperatures were
computed from the TM thermal data to express the urban thermal environment The spatial distributions of surface
temperature indicated that thermal variations had been largely broadened and showed good agreements with a change
in land use and land cover Temperature statistics of main land cover types indicated that built-up and bare land had
higher surface temperatures than natural land covers The findings indicated that the warming effect caused by
urbanization ie mainly where the natural landscape was replaced by urban areas

Over exploitation of available natural resources for meeting the growing demand for food fuel and fiber of an
ever-increasing population has led to serious environmental degradation Globally 19644x106 ha lands are affected
by human induced degradation Of this 1903x106 ha are subject to soil erosion by water 5483x106 ha to wind
erosion 2391x106 ha to chemical deterioration 682x106 ha to compaction and 105 x 10 ha to water logging

house gases in the atmosphere resulting in global warming Thus it is obvious that the environmental degradation
process unless detected early and action taken to arrest or mitigate may lead to further deterioration and may affect
sustainable development efforts which is key concern in Agenda 21 Sustainable development of natural resources
refers to maintaining a fragile balance between productivity functions and conservation practices through
identification and monitoring of problem areas and calls for optimal utilization of available natural resources based on
their potentials and limitations while maintaining a good harmony with the environment Information on the nature
extent spatial distribution along with the potentials and limitations of natural resources is a pre-requisite to achieve
the goals of sustainable development By virtue of providing synoptic view of fairly large area at a regular interval
spaceborne multispectral measurements hold great promise in generating reliable information on various natural
resources namely soils mineral surface and ground water forest cover marine resources in a timely and cost-
effective manner Geographic Information System (GIS) offers an ideal environment for integrating spatial and
attribute data on natural resources and environment and for subsequent generation of optimal land use plan on a
micro-watershed basis Furthermore Global Positioning System (GPS) enables making precise in situ measurements
on various terrain parameters which are used for both generating baseline as well as derivative information on natural

Disasters are not random and do not occur by accident They are the convergence of hazards and vulnerable
conditions ie disasters take place when hazards meet vulnerable situations Natural hazards such as fires floods
earthquakes and drought are part of the natural cycles of the earth When such hazards impact on vulnerable societies-
whether it is an earthquake that collapses buildings or a drought that kills crops-that society may face a catastrophic
situation requiring emergency relief and assistance to save lives and to protect the environment Natural disasters can
have a life-altering impact on the individuals families and society and at the same time the effect of natural disasters
can be felt at the community city and state level or many times these may have an impact on entire country The
impact of disasters whether it is natural or man-made not only have human dimensions but environmental ones as
well Deforestation forest management practices agriculture systems etc can exacerbate the negative environmental

impacts of a storm leading to landslides flooding silting and groundsurface water contamination Disasters create
substantial environmental degradation and ecological imbalance hinder socio-economic development and retard the
process of improving the quality of the life of people The interaction of disasters and environment has both short-term
and long-term effects These interaction and interdependencies work in a complicated way and in turn affect people
ecosystem and bio-diversity Environmental vulnerability includes the extent of natural resource depletion reduced
access to clean air safe water sanitation and inappropriate forms of waste management especially in heavily
populated and urban environments that can aggravate socio economic vulnerability Poor environmental conditions
such as diminished biodiversity soil degradation or growing food scarcity can easily threaten food security for people
dependent on the products of land forests pastures and marine environment for their livelihoods Around the globe
land use and land cover changes are eroding the natural buffers that protect communities from hazard risk These same
changes often erode capacity of people to recover from disaster However there are several opportunities to reduce
disaster risk and enhance community resilience A comprehensive understanding of natural systems coupled with the
application of management tools such as environmental evaluation and risk assessment can make a major contribution
to the reduction of risks and mitigation of any impacts There is also a need to explore the link between environmental
systems amp disasters and also the synergies between man-made and natural disasters Changing ecological conditions
can provoke emergencies by placing concurrent stresses on the environment Mitigating the effects of disasters are
primary components in global efforts to ensure environmental security It is clear that further co-ordination and co-
operation on environmental matters depends on the ability of global community to set an environmental agenda for
disaster management and in particular to pay attention to the environmental conditions that lead to disasters and to
natural resource management for disaster prevention and reduction

Eco-friendly means not harmful to our system of environment ie not harmful to land air etc Presently due
to agriculture mainly a lot of pollutants are added day by day in our environment Because of these pollutants the soil
fertility is decreasing the fear of disease in living beings are increasing a lot of poisons chemicals and gases prevails
in the environment There is a great need to the use such a cropping system which is suitable to environment ie Eco-
friendly system of cropping The Eco-friendless of cropping system may be viewed from two different angles ie
systems which help in soil and water conservation and system which reduce the use of pesticides insecticides
herbicides organic fertilizers As far as the pesticides use is concerned at national level it is a still for below the
alarming proportions Inclusion of such crops in the cropping systems in problem areas can play a significant role in
minimizing the use of agro-chemicals in the crop production
In Haryana the use of fertilizer is increasing at a very high rate The use of fertilizers (N P K) has increased
1963 times in 2017-18 from 1970-71 The use of pesticides was also increased from 976 times in 2017-18 from
1970-71 ie from 013 tonne to 057 tonnes per hectare in 2017-18 from 1970-71 But the production of food-grain in
the year 2016-17 increases only 379 times of production in 1970-71 Similarly the average yield of important crops
in Haryana shows a little increase It may be concluded that the consumption of fertilizer and pesticides are increasing
at very high rate as compared to the production of the crops

Earthquake is a tectonic event which is causedthrough the internal pressure released by the earth in the form
of seismic waves Earthquake reveals all other catastrophic events that pose threat to human life and property It is the
most hazardous phenomenon on the earth which has an impact on a very large area leading to deaths injuries and
other socio-economic and physical damage The influence of the earthquake depends mainly on its magnitude place
and time of occurrence Earthquakes can also create other hazards like volcanoes landslides and tsunamis
Approximately 30000 seismic tremors transpire each year in the world Out of these few earthquakes are of so low
magnitude that we cannot feel them while some are of high magnitude thereby causing lots of deaths and damages
The damage caused by the earthquakes depends on the three factors ie depth of the seismic focus the intensity of the
earthquake and itrsquos time of occurrenceNorthwestern Himalayan region lies in the subduction zone between the
Eurasian and Indian plate margins therefore it becomes more vulnerable to the earthquake hazard The region lies in
IV and V seismic zones which is very active In the present study an attempt has been made to analyze the spatial

Mass media is one of the most important factors underlying the knowledge of environment problem This can
only be true on the condition that first mass media are accessible to large proportion of the population second are
spending some time on environment issues and third people are interested in information on ecological issues
provided by media so that they view or listen to the corresponding program as well as read newspaper articles or other
written publications dealing with environmental issues Television print news radio broadcast and the internet are
enlisted to help promote a ldquogreen ldquoethic and raise environmental awareness
Mass media play an important role for creating environment awareness among people These daysrsquo climate
change issues are getting the highest priority and making the headlines in print and electronic media Government and
the people depend on communication and mass Media not only for disseminating information but also in setting
agenda for the development and other allied activities
Media has the power of focusing the factor that causes environmental problems as well as adverse impacts on
people Media acts as a catalyst in enlightening the masses on issues related to climate change A section of the media
has drawn our attention on several environmental issues like Ganga River action plan chipko movement Narmada
Bachavo Andolan and Appiko movement were kept alive mainly by the coverage in various media
Media can play a great role in communication of the natural disaster of region media certain characteristics that make
them powerful instruments of disaster Communication as they provide quick and easy access to large numbers of
people located at different places It helps in highlighting the problem and difficulties faced by the people affected by
disaster
Through communication members of society share their experiences and knowledge understands each other
and generates collective wisdom Today various types of mass media enable people all over the world to interact and
learn from each other at a tremendous pace Communication with the help of mass media not only brings people but
also communities together Thus contracting the globe into the village The environment and media research

Application of Remote Sensing In Geography
Dr Pratap Singh Rajput Guest Lecturer Govt College Sarni Betul MP
Remote sensing in geology is remote sensing used in the geological sciences as a data acquisition method
complementary to field observation because it allows mapping of geological characteristics of regions without
physical contact with the areas being explored About one-fourth of the Earths total surface area is exposed land
where information is ready to be extracted from detailed earth observation via remote sensing Remote sensing is
conducted via detection of electromagnetic radiation by sensors The radiation can be naturally sourced (passive
remote sensing) or produced by machines (active remote sensing) and reflected off of the Earth surface The
electromagnetic radiation acts as an information carrier for two main variables First the intensities of reflectance at
different wavelengths are detected and plotted on a spectral reflectance curve This spectral fingerprint is governed by
the physio-chemical properties of the surface of the target object and therefore helps mineral identification and hence
geological mapping for example by hyper spectral Second the two-way travel time of radiation from and back to the
sensor can calculate the distance in active remote sensing systems for example Interferometric synthetic-aperture
radar This helps geomorphologic studies of ground motion and thus can illuminate deformations associated
with landslides earthquakes etc Remote sensing data can help studies involving geological mapping geological
hazards and economic geology (ie exploration for minerals petroleum etc) These geological studies commonly
employ a multitude of tools classified according to short to long wavelengths of the electromagnetic radiation which
various instruments are sensitive to Shorter wavelengths are generally useful for site characterization up to
mineralogical scale while longer wavelengths reveal larger scale surface information eg regional thermal anomalies
surface roughness etc Such techniques are particularly beneficial for exploration of inaccessible areas and planets
other than Earth

The environment is something we are very familiar with Its everything that makes up our surroundings and
affects our ability to live on the earth-the air we breathe the water that covers most of the earths surface The
Environment that consists of everything surrounding us is becoming a major problem day by day This paper attempts
to highlight the role that Media has played in setting perceptions and creating awareness on environmental issues In
the past decades sustainability and environmental awareness have gained media attention Due to increasing media
coverage our society is becoming more aware of the effects that our activities put on the health of the environment In
this regard the media has a big role to play in making people aware of environment issues Most recent steps by the
Government of India for promoting sanitation lsquoSwachchha Bharat Abhiyanrsquo has got success by the united efforts of
the Government and media Media has always covered social and environmental issues thus it is the most
revolutionary device for spreading consciousness towards environment protection

Water Resources Issues and Management in India
Naresh Kumar Assit Professor CRM Jat College Hisar
Water is one of the most essential natural resources for sustaining life Its development and
management play a vital role in agriculture production Integrated water management is vital for poverty
reduction environmental sustenance and sustainable economic development In view of the rapid increase
in population urbanization and industrialization the demand for water for meeting various requirements is
continuously increasing Therefore we are facing numerous challenges in the water sector which include
reducing per capita water availability the decline in groundwater table in many areas and saltwater
intrusion in coastal aquifers The quality of surface water and groundwater is also deteriorating because of
increasing pollutant loads from various sources Climate change may also adversely affect the availability
and distribution of water resources This article presents an overview of relevant issues pertaining to
development and management of water resources in India

Environmental Impacts of Natural Disasters
Tek Chand Student of PU Patiala
It is recognized that many significant nonmarket effects result from natural disasters including environmental
impacts Though our committee had a keen interest in these topics it became clear that these impactsmdashthough often
significantmdashdid not fit easily with this studys main report and conclusions for the following reasons (1) not all
disasters result in significant ecosystem impacts (eg many earthquakes have but minor impacts on ecosystems) (2)
some extreme events have positive impacts on ecosystems (eg floods can help rejuvenate floodplain vegetation and
are important drivers of many ecological processes in floodplains) and (3) these impacts are mainly nonmarket and
are exceptionally difficult to quantify andor monetize Though there are emerging efforts in quantifying and
monetizing ecosystem services (Costanza 1997) they are in their infancy and are not yet widely accepted
Nonetheless the magnitude of the environmental impacts of many disasters compelled the committee to discuss them
and we do so in this Appendix Though no specific recommendations regarding how environmental costs should be
incorporated in loss estimates we provide here we encourage policymakers in the relevant executive branch agencies

to devote more attention and perhaps research to these issues It is important in assessing environmental impacts to
distinguish between impacts of disasters on the natural environment from those on the human-made landscape
environment As mentioned events that societies label as natural disasters may also have beneficial ecological
consequences However these benefits tend to only manifest themselves months or years after an extreme event (eg
rejuvenation of a coniferous forest months andor years after fires) or are often not readily apparent (eg recharging
of groundwater stocks after a flood) These benefits to ecological systems are of course typically overshadowed by
immediate negative impacts on societies and structures hence the use of the term natural disasters

2 Dr Phool Kumar Associate Professor in Geography Govt PGCollege for Women Rohtak
Soils are derived from parent rock material through the process of break-up wear and tear Soil is our prime
natural and economic resource because we derive everything that we need in our life from the soil It is the soil that
provides food both for humans and animals Soil is the most valuable wealth of the country on which the prosperity
and total agricultural products is based There are various factors such as parent material vegetation climate and slope
which affect the formation of soil The change in any one of these factors cause a change in soil types and soil
character
An intimate knowledge of soil is a prerequisite for all agricultural operations and planning The role of soil is
of paramount importance in Hisar district where it provides livelihood to 70 of the total population The Hisar
district soils have developed under the arid and humid climate over the bedrocks of complex nature predominantly
under the process of laterization The present paper deals with the various types of soil of Hisar district It also
investigates the major soil problems in the study area

Disaster Prevention and Management in India
Om Prakash Choyal Kuchaman PG College Rajasthan
India is one of the hazard prone countries in South Asia Floods droughts landslides snowstorms hurricanes
and cyclones occur regularly Among these earthquakes floods and drought risk are extremely high These hazards
threaten millions of lives and cause large scale financial infrastructure agriculture and productivity losses that
seriously hinder Indiarsquos overall development In India the primary responsibility for responding to disaster lies at the
state and the central level The GOI have a national emergency plan for disaster management some of the state also
has a disaster management plan It can be and is called upon to assist when necessary but there is a lack of awareness
in the public Many Indian States have limited resources and lack their own disaster management plans Considering
these problems this paper attempts to throw light on a more integrated and responsive disaster management system in
India This paper will provide important information in three mutually reinforcing areas viz disaster preparedness
response and rehabilitation management The various case studies for disaster management will be discussed

Water resource Management and Landform Anomalies in Foothills of Siwaliks
Dr Arti Singh Researcher Society for Application Research and Consultancy (SC) New Delhi
The learning present an perceptive of landforms and its characteristics for water resource management in the
Foothills of siwaliks the study area forming a mountain ecosystem of the lesser Himalayas represents a part of the
Siwaliks extending between 30deg 19rsquo N and 77deg 35rsquo E from the Badshahibagh Rao and 30deg 11rsquo N and 77deg 55rsquo E the
Mohand Rao rivers The study focuses on various landforms found in the study area and its relation with the water
resource It is well known that the Practical and philosophical impediments are upsetting modern attempts to achieve a
satisfying understanding of landforms and their genesis In recent years spatial application has made this study a much
interesting and knowledgeable The present paper focuses the water Resource study of Mohand area in Lower siwaliks
with the application of remote sensing and GIS as a tool It is found the piedmont zone is a good recharge zone for
water The scarcity of water is mainly with the streams along all the major rivers especially in the areas of structural
and denudo structural hills of the upper and middle portion of the study area The barkala fan area can play a vital role
as a main source of water recharge with the rain water harvesting techniques Different thematic layers are prepared
using remote sensing and GIS for the assessment of water resources status The union coverage of land use land

cover geology geomorphology soil and slope status maps have been incorporated in the Arc GIS environment as
input coverage The existing water resource classes have been reclassified according to the criterion statement five
classes of water resources can be regrouped into three classes such as good moderate and poor status of water
resources in the study area Overall results show that nearly 60 of the geographical area has good and moderate
resources Another major part of poor resource areas need to be reclaimed to restore and improve its resource status
The method used is incorporation of DEM of study area to see the major anomalies of study area and its role in overall
water resource management in the piedmont Some dugwells of the area is estimated with measurements (in mts) for
the better results Finally the conclusion shows that there is a comparative role of geomorphology and landform for
water resource management in the area therefore Resource management planning strategy has been suggested

Application of Geospatial Analysis in the Study of Water Borne Disease

Geographic Information System (GIS) is considered as ldquoautomated systems used for capturing store retrieve
analyze and to display spatial datardquo (Clarke etal 1996) This tool is helpful in analyzing relationships between
location environment and incidences When looking into applicability of GIS both water-borne diseases and vector-
borne diseases are widely investigated topics at global level In the present scenario GIS has an ability to identify
location of specific diseases and their spatial unusual aggregation which can help different health agencies so that they
can provide facilities and prevent further growth of incidents1
The health geography is concerned with two fundamental questions that are revolves around (i) when and
where specific disease tend to occur and why specific pattern of incidence do occur In these directions substantial
growth has been found during the last decade whereas concept of ldquoplacerdquo plays a very significant role in determining
health of people It is regarded as new perspective to look into how ldquohealthrdquo of people is influence from ldquospacerdquo
(Kwan 2012) In the recent period due to development of modern tools such as Geographic Information System
(GIS) which makes it easier to conduct spatial analysis and modeling at different levels Now with these tools modern
epidemiologist and geographers can do analysis of health both spatially and temporally (Cromley and McLafferty
2011)
Water borne diseases are considered as diseases those emerge due to consumption and ingestion of
contaminated water that may contain pathogenic viruses bacteria protozoa and other chemical substances (UNO
Health Report 2003) These pathogens are transmitted into human body through using contaminated water when
utilize for domestic purposes that may responsible for viral bacteria and parasite related diseases A report by World
Health Organization (2016) on ldquoThe situation of water-related infectious diseases in the pan-European regionrdquo define
water related diseases asany substantial effect on human health such as illness disability disorders and sometime
death due to direct or indirect alteration in the quantity or quality of water2

development and utilization of local resources-physical biological and human and by bringing about necessary
institutional structural and attitudinal changes of rural publicrdquoRural development means noticeable changes in all
these components But such changes should take place in a mutually supporting relationship so as to generate organic
and optimum development Organic development is one which maintains a healthy relationship among the various
elements or components of a system The concept of rural development was born in the context of agriculture and for
a long time it encompassed agricultural development Since 1970rsquos the concept has become more definite in its
interpretation and it is being regarded as a design to improve the economic and social life especially by extending
benefits of development to the poorest small farmers tenants and landless
Now rural development is not exclusively restricted to any single activity or area it travels many or all areas
which anyway affect upgrading enlisting and petrifying improvement of transformation in socio-economic lives of
rural 51 people Rural development means overall improvement of die quality of life for rural people It is about
reduction of poverty increasing productivity providing basic services like health education drinking water
sanitation extending infrastructure attempt to reverse distorted land distribution and ownership and host of other
aspects redressing inequality exploitation and deprivation in any conceivable sense Rural development as a concept
for planning and executing changes in rural areas is based on the assumption that production increases and social
improvements are not mutually exclusive but on the contrary are mutually strengthening The relation between the
two is complemented so heavily that development on one front cannot proceed beyond a point without a simultaneous
or prior change in the other Another trend in rural development is the special emphasis on the weaker sections of the
society ie the rural poor not merely for improving their level of living but also to bring about a greater degree of
their involvement in the development process Rural development is the ultimate analysis which involves the
provision of opportunities for optimum utilization of human resources in rural areas Human resource development in
its turn can take place only if there is adequate nutrition and working opportunities available for the rural masses

Dr Sandesh Yadav Freelance Researcher and Alumni Dept of Geography Jamia Millia Islamia New Delhi
Cities are characterized by the rapid urban growth and regeneration process Consequently the land use and
land cover have been altered considerably which in lieu affected the urban environment Urban environment is a
complex entity and any sort of alteration in the urban environment makes the modern urban life unsustainable These
alterations in urban environment require changes both in lifestyle and infrastructure The expansion of Grey
infrastructure and shrinking vegetation cover have induced micro-climatic changes such as heat wave intensification
intensified urban heat island effect and winter warming effect in the study area The dominance of Grey infrastructure
means impermeable surface which affected local heat budget through increased land surface temperature Further less
vegetation cover failed to regulate temperature through cooling effect of evapo-transpiration The present research
study carries out the Geo-spatial analysis of land surface temperature and normalized difference vegetation index for
the period 1990-2015 in the study area The present research is an attempt to trace out reduction in cropland during the
period 1990-2015 in Delhi The satellite data used include Landsat- 45 (TM) Landsat -7 (ETM+) and Landsat ndash 8
(OLI) for three different time periods 1990 2000 and 2015 respectively Moreover suitable statistical techniques have
been used to conduct the present research study

Climate Change and its present day scenario
Rajwinder Singh Assistant Professor Isharjyot Degree College Pehowa
Climate change is an ever going process of nature nothing remained stable in the history of the earth weather
it is its landforms oceans and nor does its climate remained stable at all the time Today the major concern is about
the climate change that we are facing the rate of change has been accelerated in the past few decades Today
Anthropogenic factors are the biggest contributors for the emission of greenhouse gases globally July 2019 was the
hottest month ever recorded on the earth which clearly indicates how worse the situation is This changing scenario
will have its adverse effect For example the rate of forest fires will increase availability and quality of water will also
deteriorate in future On the whole climate change will have an adverse effect on every sphere of life like Agriculture
Forestry Biodiversity water as well as health

Basant Singh
The paper presents the major environment issue regarding air pollution due to stubble burning in Haryana
Haryana lies in indo Gangetic plain The fertile land is good for extensive farming In Haryana paddy and wheat
production is higher than other farming These farming generate a huge amount of agricultural wastes in the form of
stubble The farmer is using fire to remove the stubble Burning of stubble released various Gaseous in the atmosphere
such as Carbon dioxside (co2) carbon monoxide(co)Methane (CH4) Nitrogen oxide(No) and sulphur oxside (sox) as
well as huge quantity of particulate Matter (PM10) and 25 microns or less (PM25) These gaseous causing negative
impact on human health and Global warming The management of crop residue is much important to reduce air
pollution The government takes action to solve the problem of stubble burning or make policies

there is a fluctuation in the land use pattern of the state It further analysed that the advent of modern means of
technology influenced the behaviour and thinking ability of farmers towards the use of land It is observed that
western part of the study region share the more land under the category of barren land culturable wasteland and
fallow land as compare to northern and eastern region throughout the study period It is also found that developed
irrigation facilities development of infrastructure etc are responsible for the modification in the physical
environment and this leads to change in the overall land use pattern The present study is based on secondary sources
of data Twenty years averages are drawn from 1970-71 to 2016-17 Simple statistical methods are used for deriving

Origin and History of Women Self Help Groups in India on Rural Development
Dr K Rani Lakshmi Professor amp Dean FHSS IASE Deemed To Be University
In 1976 Prof Mohammed Yunus of Bangladesh started womenrsquos groups in Bangladesh and developed
thrift and savings among the poorest Self Help Group is a novel mechanism and the brainchild of Mohd Yunus a
Noble Prize Winner of 2006 in Bangladesh Now it has developed into a bank named Bangladesh Grameen Bank Its
report in February 1998 states that the bank has 1138 branches and covers 39572 villages It has 2367503 members of
which only 124571 are men With the success of BGB and similar organisations elsewhere the concept of Micro
credit has gained momentum in India Based on this success many Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) in our
country are involved in organising Self Help Groups and they serve as an agent between the bank and the poor Self
Help Groups play today a major role in poverty alleviation in rural India A growing number of poor people (mostly
women) in various parts of India are members of Self Help Groups and actively engage in savings and credit as well
as in other activities like income generation natural resources management literacy child care and nutrition etc The
Self Help Group system has proven to be very relevant and effective in offering women the possibility to break

Dr Ghanashyam Deka Assistant Professor Department of Geography Pachhunga University Mizoram
Tourism is considered as one of the largest service industry in the world In Indian economy tourism is
playing significant role to upgrade the development and raising the gross domestic product The tourism sector
becomes increasingly important in national development North-Eastern state are very fortunate and one of the most
potential region in India to attract tourists Uniqueness of the region physical and cultural diversities can attract huge
numbers of visitors and ultimately generate income from them Though this region is counted as one of the backward
regions it has potentialities for future development Tourism sector will be the suitable for that However this sector
necessitates formulation of sustainable tourism strategy so that it can be utilized as a tool for regional development
Being a hilly state Mizoram is always attracting tourists from different parts of the country The state has potential of
adventure and rural tourism Apart from that with its cultural and ethnic uniqueness the state can attract a lot of
tourists to each of the isolated village situated in the hilltop Already the state government declared tourism as an
industry under its development policies Festivals like Anthurium Chapchar Kut are now well know and attracting
few thousands of tourists every year Anthurium festival is becoming the good earning source for the villagers in

water no field of human activity is complete Today human is using water resources very badly for own benefit The
ground water decline continuously is a very thinking and understandable an issue There is not state government
responsible but local people also As like people blame on government the decline of ground water is result of
agriculture model and polices of government The ground water level of district Sangrur is continuously decline
Which is a very serious issue This issue can be seen in association with climate chance If this continues the day is
not far when District of Sangrur will be completely transformed into a desert

Yamuna Chambal badlands are located at margin of south-west Gangetic plain in India It is known for
horrible land degradation by water driven erosion The expansion of gully and ravine networks on arable land is
possessing serious socio-economic challenges to the society of this region In this study an estimation of soil erosion
has been made by using Morgan-Morgan Finney Model It has been found that the average annual soil loss rate is 760
tons hactaer2 year Due to undulating surface and high intensity of rainfall in a short spell of time transport capacity
of running water is too high in this region Although seasonal vegetation cover is a dominant protection from erosion
still erosive nature of soils and steep slope makes available big amount for erosion material here The model is used to
evaluate and identify the major zone of erosion Several schemes are applied to counter the land degradation process

Urban areas are suffering from excess hotness in summer mainly due to congested built-up structures The
problem became peculiar for cities located in hot arid conditions such as Hisar in Haryana (India) A continuous
surface of Land Surface Temperature (LST) can be extracted from Landsat thermal bands Similarly different band
combinations and ratios give a spatial pattern of land cover categories Spatiotemporal pattern of temperature in and
around the Hisar city was analyzed in the present study to assess the spatial variation in temperature in the area
Landsat TM images of May 2000 and 2016 were utilized to study the spatial-temporal thermal variations and their
relationships with land cover changes in Hisar city and surrounding area which experienced rapid urbanization in past
decades Land cover classifications were derived to quantify area-specific variations and brightness temperatures were
computed from the TM thermal data to express the urban thermal environment The spatial distributions of surface
temperature indicated that thermal variations had been largely broadened and showed good agreements with a change
in land use and land cover Temperature statistics of main land cover types indicated that built-up and bare land had
higher surface temperatures than natural land covers The findings indicated that the warming effect caused by
urbanization ie mainly where the natural landscape was replaced by urban areas

by human induced degradation Of this 1903x106 ha are subject to soil erosion by water 5483x106 ha to wind
erosion 2391x106 ha to chemical deterioration 682x106 ha to compaction and 105 x 10 ha to water logging

house gases in the atmosphere resulting in global warming Thus it is obvious that the environmental degradation
process unless detected early and action taken to arrest or mitigate may lead to further deterioration and may affect
sustainable development efforts which is key concern in Agenda 21 Sustainable development of natural resources
refers to maintaining a fragile balance between productivity functions and conservation practices through
identification and monitoring of problem areas and calls for optimal utilization of available natural resources based on
their potentials and limitations while maintaining a good harmony with the environment Information on the nature
extent spatial distribution along with the potentials and limitations of natural resources is a pre-requisite to achieve
the goals of sustainable development By virtue of providing synoptic view of fairly large area at a regular interval
spaceborne multispectral measurements hold great promise in generating reliable information on various natural
resources namely soils mineral surface and ground water forest cover marine resources in a timely and cost-
effective manner Geographic Information System (GIS) offers an ideal environment for integrating spatial and
attribute data on natural resources and environment and for subsequent generation of optimal land use plan on a
micro-watershed basis Furthermore Global Positioning System (GPS) enables making precise in situ measurements
on various terrain parameters which are used for both generating baseline as well as derivative information on natural
resources for various developmental activities Advancements in weather forecasting and tele-communication further

Disasters are not random and do not occur by accident They are the convergence of hazards and vulnerable
conditions ie disasters take place when hazards meet vulnerable situations Natural hazards such as fires floods
earthquakes and drought are part of the natural cycles of the earth When such hazards impact on vulnerable societies-
whether it is an earthquake that collapses buildings or a drought that kills crops-that society may face a catastrophic
situation requiring emergency relief and assistance to save lives and to protect the environment Natural disasters can
have a life-altering impact on the individuals families and society and at the same time the effect of natural disasters
can be felt at the community city and state level or many times these may have an impact on entire country The
impact of disasters whether it is natural or man-made not only have human dimensions but environmental ones as
well Deforestation forest management practices agriculture systems etc can exacerbate the negative environmental

impacts of a storm leading to landslides flooding silting and groundsurface water contamination Disasters create
substantial environmental degradation and ecological imbalance hinder socio-economic development and retard the
process of improving the quality of the life of people The interaction of disasters and environment has both short-term
and long-term effects These interaction and interdependencies work in a complicated way and in turn affect people
ecosystem and bio-diversity Environmental vulnerability includes the extent of natural resource depletion reduced
access to clean air safe water sanitation and inappropriate forms of waste management especially in heavily
populated and urban environments that can aggravate socio economic vulnerability Poor environmental conditions
such as diminished biodiversity soil degradation or growing food scarcity can easily threaten food security for people
dependent on the products of land forests pastures and marine environment for their livelihoods Around the globe
land use and land cover changes are eroding the natural buffers that protect communities from hazard risk These same
changes often erode capacity of people to recover from disaster However there are several opportunities to reduce
disaster risk and enhance community resilience A comprehensive understanding of natural systems coupled with the
application of management tools such as environmental evaluation and risk assessment can make a major contribution
to the reduction of risks and mitigation of any impacts There is also a need to explore the link between environmental
systems amp disasters and also the synergies between man-made and natural disasters Changing ecological conditions
can provoke emergencies by placing concurrent stresses on the environment Mitigating the effects of disasters are
primary components in global efforts to ensure environmental security It is clear that further co-ordination and co-
operation on environmental matters depends on the ability of global community to set an environmental agenda for
disaster management and in particular to pay attention to the environmental conditions that lead to disasters and to
natural resource management for disaster prevention and reduction

Eco-friendly means not harmful to our system of environment ie not harmful to land air etc Presently due
to agriculture mainly a lot of pollutants are added day by day in our environment Because of these pollutants the soil
fertility is decreasing the fear of disease in living beings are increasing a lot of poisons chemicals and gases prevails
in the environment There is a great need to the use such a cropping system which is suitable to environment ie Eco-
friendly system of cropping The Eco-friendless of cropping system may be viewed from two different angles ie
systems which help in soil and water conservation and system which reduce the use of pesticides insecticides
herbicides organic fertilizers As far as the pesticides use is concerned at national level it is a still for below the
alarming proportions Inclusion of such crops in the cropping systems in problem areas can play a significant role in
minimizing the use of agro-chemicals in the crop production
In Haryana the use of fertilizer is increasing at a very high rate The use of fertilizers (N P K) has increased
1963 times in 2017-18 from 1970-71 The use of pesticides was also increased from 976 times in 2017-18 from
1970-71 ie from 013 tonne to 057 tonnes per hectare in 2017-18 from 1970-71 But the production of food-grain in
the year 2016-17 increases only 379 times of production in 1970-71 Similarly the average yield of important crops
in Haryana shows a little increase It may be concluded that the consumption of fertilizer and pesticides are increasing
at very high rate as compared to the production of the crops

that it is backbone of our economyAgriculture contributes a large share of national income agriculture through the
provision of raw materialinfluences industrial structuretransport and other servicesAgriculture is most dominant and
important sector of Indian Economy that plays a vital role in the overall economic development of the countryThis
sector is heavily weather dependent world over more in the tropical monsoon type of climate Agriculture crops are
extremely susceptible to fluctuation in climate factors such as rainfall and temperature conditions specially there
seasonality and unpredictability Climate chage has significant effects on agriculture including changes in farm
productivity cropping pattern profitability price supply and tradeIntergovernmental panel on climate change (IPCC)
published on 31st March 2014 stresses the risk of global warming and tries to make a stronger case for governments to
adopt policy on adaption and cut greenhouse gas emissionsThe agriculture sector has low production due to a number

Earthquake is a tectonic event which is causedthrough the internal pressure released by the earth in the form
of seismic waves Earthquake reveals all other catastrophic events that pose threat to human life and property It is the
most hazardous phenomenon on the earth which has an impact on a very large area leading to deaths injuries and
other socio-economic and physical damage The influence of the earthquake depends mainly on its magnitude place
and time of occurrence Earthquakes can also create other hazards like volcanoes landslides and tsunamis
Approximately 30000 seismic tremors transpire each year in the world Out of these few earthquakes are of so low
magnitude that we cannot feel them while some are of high magnitude thereby causing lots of deaths and damages
The damage caused by the earthquakes depends on the three factors ie depth of the seismic focus the intensity of the
earthquake and itrsquos time of occurrenceNorthwestern Himalayan region lies in the subduction zone between the
Eurasian and Indian plate margins therefore it becomes more vulnerable to the earthquake hazard The region lies in
IV and V seismic zones which is very active In the present study an attempt has been made to analyze the spatial
pattern of earthquakes occurrence in northwest Himalayan region of India

Mass media is one of the most important factors underlying the knowledge of environment problem This can
only be true on the condition that first mass media are accessible to large proportion of the population second are
spending some time on environment issues and third people are interested in information on ecological issues
provided by media so that they view or listen to the corresponding program as well as read newspaper articles or other
written publications dealing with environmental issues Television print news radio broadcast and the internet are
enlisted to help promote a ldquogreen ldquoethic and raise environmental awareness
Mass media play an important role for creating environment awareness among people These daysrsquo climate
change issues are getting the highest priority and making the headlines in print and electronic media Government and
the people depend on communication and mass Media not only for disseminating information but also in setting
agenda for the development and other allied activities
Media has the power of focusing the factor that causes environmental problems as well as adverse impacts on
people Media acts as a catalyst in enlightening the masses on issues related to climate change A section of the media
has drawn our attention on several environmental issues like Ganga River action plan chipko movement Narmada
Bachavo Andolan and Appiko movement were kept alive mainly by the coverage in various media
Media can play a great role in communication of the natural disaster of region media certain characteristics that make
them powerful instruments of disaster Communication as they provide quick and easy access to large numbers of
people located at different places It helps in highlighting the problem and difficulties faced by the people affected by
disaster
Through communication members of society share their experiences and knowledge understands each other
and generates collective wisdom Today various types of mass media enable people all over the world to interact and
learn from each other at a tremendous pace Communication with the help of mass media not only brings people but
also communities together Thus contracting the globe into the village The environment and media research

Accuracy assessment is one of the most important tools in production of Land use and land cover maps
through the process of image classification Land use land cover information is spatial details of particular landscape
which recorded in satellite image through the remote sensing initial step for policy making business and
administrative purposes Land use land cover classification play a vital role because it provide data which can be used
as input for modeling especially the one dealing with environment for instance models dealing with climate change
and policy developments by the process of image classification with the help of geographic information system (GIS)
and remote sensing techniques The present study aims to analyze the accuracy assessment of land use land cover
classification of Almora District of Uttarakhand State of India and to identify the land use land cover classes through
the Andersonrsquo s satellite image classification within the district
In this study the Landsat 8oli image will be used to process of image classification by supervised
classification technique with the help of Erdas imagine 2015 software The study will be evaluated by level of overall
classification accuracy and kappa coefficient which prove the very efficient in the calculation of accuracy assessment

Application of Remote Sensing In Geography
Dr Pratap Singh Rajput Guest Lecturer Govt College Sarni Betul MP
Remote sensing in geology is remote sensing used in the geological sciences as a data acquisition method
complementary to field observation because it allows mapping of geological characteristics of regions without
physical contact with the areas being explored About one-fourth of the Earths total surface area is exposed land
where information is ready to be extracted from detailed earth observation via remote sensing Remote sensing is
conducted via detection of electromagnetic radiation by sensors The radiation can be naturally sourced (passive
remote sensing) or produced by machines (active remote sensing) and reflected off of the Earth surface The
electromagnetic radiation acts as an information carrier for two main variables First the intensities of reflectance at
different wavelengths are detected and plotted on a spectral reflectance curve This spectral fingerprint is governed by
the physio-chemical properties of the surface of the target object and therefore helps mineral identification and hence
geological mapping for example by hyper spectral Second the two-way travel time of radiation from and back to the
sensor can calculate the distance in active remote sensing systems for example Interferometric synthetic-aperture
radar This helps geomorphologic studies of ground motion and thus can illuminate deformations associated
with landslides earthquakes etc Remote sensing data can help studies involving geological mapping geological
hazards and economic geology (ie exploration for minerals petroleum etc) These geological studies commonly
employ a multitude of tools classified according to short to long wavelengths of the electromagnetic radiation which
various instruments are sensitive to Shorter wavelengths are generally useful for site characterization up to
mineralogical scale while longer wavelengths reveal larger scale surface information eg regional thermal anomalies
surface roughness etc Such techniques are particularly beneficial for exploration of inaccessible areas and planets
other than Earth

Application of Geospatial Technology in Monitoring Forest Cover Change An Indian Perspective
Dr Shweta Rani Assistant Professor Department of Geography Dyal Singh College DU New Delhi
A rapidly emerging menace ie deforestation is a big concern and challenge not only before India but across
the world and poses a threat to the sustainable development of mankind Forest resource is renewable resources and is
prominent geographic feature at the global level supporting living organisms of various forms Forest is defined as a
community of living trees and associated organisms which covers a considerable area It usually refers to all lands
more than one hectare in area with a tree canopy density of more than 10 percent irrespective of ownership and legal
status India is one of the ten most forest-rich countries of the world Forestry in India is a significant rural industry
and a major environmental resource But ironically the rate of deforestation in India is alarmingly high to suit a
variety of needs especially to fulfill the agricultural pursuits
In light of preceding discussion the present study will examine and unravel the regional patterns of
deforestation in India In particular the study intends to analyze and explore the extent trends magnitude and
distributional pattern of deforestation across various regions and states and their accuracy assessments for two
different time periods ie 2015 and 2017 The Forest Survey of India and the National Remote Sensing Agency
(NRSA) are two major source providing data for forest cover in India based on interpretation of satellite data The
changes in area under forest have depicted through a change matrix and accuracy assessments of classification of
forest cover have been attempted through Kappa Co-efficient It is a multi-variate technique providing a statistic

The environment is something we are very familiar with Its everything that makes up our surroundings and
affects our ability to live on the earth-the air we breathe the water that covers most of the earths surface The
Environment that consists of everything surrounding us is becoming a major problem day by day This paper attempts
to highlight the role that Media has played in setting perceptions and creating awareness on environmental issues In
the past decades sustainability and environmental awareness have gained media attention Due to increasing media
coverage our society is becoming more aware of the effects that our activities put on the health of the environment In
this regard the media has a big role to play in making people aware of environment issues Most recent steps by the
Government of India for promoting sanitation lsquoSwachchha Bharat Abhiyanrsquo has got success by the united efforts of
the Government and media Media has always covered social and environmental issues thus it is the most
revolutionary device for spreading consciousness towards environment protection

Water Resources Issues and Management in India
Naresh Kumar Assit Professor CRM Jat College Hisar
Water is one of the most essential natural resources for sustaining life Its development and
management play a vital role in agriculture production Integrated water management is vital for poverty
reduction environmental sustenance and sustainable economic development In view of the rapid increase
in population urbanization and industrialization the demand for water for meeting various requirements is
continuously increasing Therefore we are facing numerous challenges in the water sector which include
reducing per capita water availability the decline in groundwater table in many areas and saltwater
intrusion in coastal aquifers The quality of surface water and groundwater is also deteriorating because of
increasing pollutant loads from various sources Climate change may also adversely affect the availability
and distribution of water resources This article presents an overview of relevant issues pertaining to
development and management of water resources in India

Environmental Impacts of Natural Disasters
Tek Chand Student of PU Patiala
It is recognized that many significant nonmarket effects result from natural disasters including environmental
impacts Though our committee had a keen interest in these topics it became clear that these impactsmdashthough often
significantmdashdid not fit easily with this studys main report and conclusions for the following reasons (1) not all
disasters result in significant ecosystem impacts (eg many earthquakes have but minor impacts on ecosystems) (2)
some extreme events have positive impacts on ecosystems (eg floods can help rejuvenate floodplain vegetation and
are important drivers of many ecological processes in floodplains) and (3) these impacts are mainly nonmarket and
are exceptionally difficult to quantify andor monetize Though there are emerging efforts in quantifying and
monetizing ecosystem services (Costanza 1997) they are in their infancy and are not yet widely accepted
Nonetheless the magnitude of the environmental impacts of many disasters compelled the committee to discuss them
and we do so in this Appendix Though no specific recommendations regarding how environmental costs should be
incorporated in loss estimates we provide here we encourage policymakers in the relevant executive branch agencies

to devote more attention and perhaps research to these issues It is important in assessing environmental impacts to
distinguish between impacts of disasters on the natural environment from those on the human-made landscape
environment As mentioned events that societies label as natural disasters may also have beneficial ecological
consequences However these benefits tend to only manifest themselves months or years after an extreme event (eg
rejuvenation of a coniferous forest months andor years after fires) or are often not readily apparent (eg recharging
of groundwater stocks after a flood) These benefits to ecological systems are of course typically overshadowed by
immediate negative impacts on societies and structures hence the use of the term natural disasters

Soils are derived from parent rock material through the process of break-up wear and tear Soil is our prime
natural and economic resource because we derive everything that we need in our life from the soil It is the soil that
provides food both for humans and animals Soil is the most valuable wealth of the country on which the prosperity
and total agricultural products is based There are various factors such as parent material vegetation climate and slope
which affect the formation of soil The change in any one of these factors cause a change in soil types and soil
character
An intimate knowledge of soil is a prerequisite for all agricultural operations and planning The role of soil is
of paramount importance in Hisar district where it provides livelihood to 70 of the total population The Hisar
district soils have developed under the arid and humid climate over the bedrocks of complex nature predominantly
under the process of laterization The present paper deals with the various types of soil of Hisar district It also

Disaster Prevention and Management in India
Om Prakash Choyal Kuchaman PG College Rajasthan
India is one of the hazard prone countries in South Asia Floods droughts landslides snowstorms hurricanes
and cyclones occur regularly Among these earthquakes floods and drought risk are extremely high These hazards
threaten millions of lives and cause large scale financial infrastructure agriculture and productivity losses that
seriously hinder Indiarsquos overall development In India the primary responsibility for responding to disaster lies at the
state and the central level The GOI have a national emergency plan for disaster management some of the state also
has a disaster management plan It can be and is called upon to assist when necessary but there is a lack of awareness
in the public Many Indian States have limited resources and lack their own disaster management plans Considering
these problems this paper attempts to throw light on a more integrated and responsive disaster management system in
India This paper will provide important information in three mutually reinforcing areas viz disaster preparedness
response and rehabilitation management The various case studies for disaster management will be discussed

Geographic Information System (GIS) is considered as ldquoautomated systems used for capturing store retrieve
analyze and to display spatial datardquo (Clarke etal 1996) This tool is helpful in analyzing relationships between
location environment and incidences When looking into applicability of GIS both water-borne diseases and vector-
borne diseases are widely investigated topics at global level In the present scenario GIS has an ability to identify
location of specific diseases and their spatial unusual aggregation which can help different health agencies so that they
can provide facilities and prevent further growth of incidents1
The health geography is concerned with two fundamental questions that are revolves around (i) when and
where specific disease tend to occur and why specific pattern of incidence do occur In these directions substantial
growth has been found during the last decade whereas concept of ldquoplacerdquo plays a very significant role in determining
health of people It is regarded as new perspective to look into how ldquohealthrdquo of people is influence from ldquospacerdquo
(Kwan 2012) In the recent period due to development of modern tools such as Geographic Information System
(GIS) which makes it easier to conduct spatial analysis and modeling at different levels Now with these tools modern
epidemiologist and geographers can do analysis of health both spatially and temporally (Cromley and McLafferty
2011)
Water borne diseases are considered as diseases those emerge due to consumption and ingestion of
contaminated water that may contain pathogenic viruses bacteria protozoa and other chemical substances (UNO
Health Report 2003) These pathogens are transmitted into human body through using contaminated water when
utilize for domestic purposes that may responsible for viral bacteria and parasite related diseases A report by World
Health Organization (2016) on ldquoThe situation of water-related infectious diseases in the pan-European regionrdquo define
water related diseases asany substantial effect on human health such as illness disability disorders and sometime
death due to direct or indirect alteration in the quantity or quality of water2

Urban Solid Waste Management (USWM) is most problematic and neglected aspect of Indian Cities The
high population growth and industrialization put strain on the basic infrastructural and municipal services The
Government local self governments make their best efforts to provide all basic amenities and services for meet the
demand of poses challenge before the administration for managing the huge quantity of waste generated by this large
size of population The solid waste generation is a continually growing problem at global regional and local levels
The solid waste is those organic and inorganic waste materials which are produced by various activities of the society
As a result there is considerable increase in MSW (municipal solid waste) generation in India during last few decades
In urban areas particularly in highly urbanized areas of the developing world problems and issues of municipal solid

Rural Development
Ms Priyanka Saini Jayoti Vidyapeeth Womenrsquos University Jaipur
Rural development can be defined as ldquoan integrated development of the area and the people through optimum
development and utilization of local resources-physical biological and human and by bringing about necessary
institutional structural and attitudinal changes of rural publicrdquoRural development means noticeable changes in all
these components But such changes should take place in a mutually supporting relationship so as to generate organic
and optimum development Organic development is one which maintains a healthy relationship among the various
elements or components of a system The concept of rural development was born in the context of agriculture and for
a long time it encompassed agricultural development Since 1970rsquos the concept has become more definite in its
interpretation and it is being regarded as a design to improve the economic and social life especially by extending
benefits of development to the poorest small farmers tenants and landless
Now rural development is not exclusively restricted to any single activity or area it travels many or all areas
which anyway affect upgrading enlisting and petrifying improvement of transformation in socio-economic lives of
rural 51 people Rural development means overall improvement of die quality of life for rural people It is about
reduction of poverty increasing productivity providing basic services like health education drinking water
sanitation extending infrastructure attempt to reverse distorted land distribution and ownership and host of other
aspects redressing inequality exploitation and deprivation in any conceivable sense Rural development as a concept
for planning and executing changes in rural areas is based on the assumption that production increases and social
improvements are not mutually exclusive but on the contrary are mutually strengthening The relation between the
two is complemented so heavily that development on one front cannot proceed beyond a point without a simultaneous
or prior change in the other Another trend in rural development is the special emphasis on the weaker sections of the
society ie the rural poor not merely for improving their level of living but also to bring about a greater degree of
their involvement in the development process Rural development is the ultimate analysis which involves the
provision of opportunities for optimum utilization of human resources in rural areas Human resource development in
its turn can take place only if there is adequate nutrition and working opportunities available for the rural masses

Cities are characterized by the rapid urban growth and regeneration process Consequently the land use and
land cover have been altered considerably which in lieu affected the urban environment Urban environment is a
complex entity and any sort of alteration in the urban environment makes the modern urban life unsustainable These
alterations in urban environment require changes both in lifestyle and infrastructure The expansion of Grey
infrastructure and shrinking vegetation cover have induced micro-climatic changes such as heat wave intensification
intensified urban heat island effect and winter warming effect in the study area The dominance of Grey infrastructure
means impermeable surface which affected local heat budget through increased land surface temperature Further less
vegetation cover failed to regulate temperature through cooling effect of evapo-transpiration The present research
study carries out the Geo-spatial analysis of land surface temperature and normalized difference vegetation index for
the period 1990-2015 in the study area The present research is an attempt to trace out reduction in cropland during the
period 1990-2015 in Delhi The satellite data used include Landsat- 45 (TM) Landsat -7 (ETM+) and Landsat ndash 8
(OLI) for three different time periods 1990 2000 and 2015 respectively Moreover suitable statistical techniques have

Climate Change and its present day scenario
Rajwinder Singh Assistant Professor Isharjyot Degree College Pehowa
Climate change is an ever going process of nature nothing remained stable in the history of the earth weather
it is its landforms oceans and nor does its climate remained stable at all the time Today the major concern is about
the climate change that we are facing the rate of change has been accelerated in the past few decades Today
Anthropogenic factors are the biggest contributors for the emission of greenhouse gases globally July 2019 was the
hottest month ever recorded on the earth which clearly indicates how worse the situation is This changing scenario
will have its adverse effect For example the rate of forest fires will increase availability and quality of water will also
deteriorate in future On the whole climate change will have an adverse effect on every sphere of life like Agriculture

there is a fluctuation in the land use pattern of the state It further analysed that the advent of modern means of
technology influenced the behaviour and thinking ability of farmers towards the use of land It is observed that
western part of the study region share the more land under the category of barren land culturable wasteland and
fallow land as compare to northern and eastern region throughout the study period It is also found that developed
irrigation facilities development of infrastructure etc are responsible for the modification in the physical
environment and this leads to change in the overall land use pattern The present study is based on secondary sources
of data Twenty years averages are drawn from 1970-71 to 2016-17 Simple statistical methods are used for deriving

In 1976 Prof Mohammed Yunus of Bangladesh started womenrsquos groups in Bangladesh and developed
thrift and savings among the poorest Self Help Group is a novel mechanism and the brainchild of Mohd Yunus a
Noble Prize Winner of 2006 in Bangladesh Now it has developed into a bank named Bangladesh Grameen Bank Its
report in February 1998 states that the bank has 1138 branches and covers 39572 villages It has 2367503 members of
which only 124571 are men With the success of BGB and similar organisations elsewhere the concept of Micro
credit has gained momentum in India Based on this success many Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) in our
country are involved in organising Self Help Groups and they serve as an agent between the bank and the poor Self
Help Groups play today a major role in poverty alleviation in rural India A growing number of poor people (mostly
women) in various parts of India are members of Self Help Groups and actively engage in savings and credit as well
as in other activities like income generation natural resources management literacy child care and nutrition etc The

Tourism is considered as one of the largest service industry in the world In Indian economy tourism is
playing significant role to upgrade the development and raising the gross domestic product The tourism sector
becomes increasingly important in national development North-Eastern state are very fortunate and one of the most
potential region in India to attract tourists Uniqueness of the region physical and cultural diversities can attract huge
numbers of visitors and ultimately generate income from them Though this region is counted as one of the backward
regions it has potentialities for future development Tourism sector will be the suitable for that However this sector
necessitates formulation of sustainable tourism strategy so that it can be utilized as a tool for regional development
Being a hilly state Mizoram is always attracting tourists from different parts of the country The state has potential of
adventure and rural tourism Apart from that with its cultural and ethnic uniqueness the state can attract a lot of
tourists to each of the isolated village situated in the hilltop Already the state government declared tourism as an
industry under its development policies Festivals like Anthurium Chapchar Kut are now well know and attracting
few thousands of tourists every year Anthurium festival is becoming the good earning source for the villagers in

Urban areas are suffering from excess hotness in summer mainly due to congested built-up structures The
problem became peculiar for cities located in hot arid conditions such as Hisar in Haryana (India) A continuous
surface of Land Surface Temperature (LST) can be extracted from Landsat thermal bands Similarly different band
combinations and ratios give a spatial pattern of land cover categories Spatiotemporal pattern of temperature in and
around the Hisar city was analyzed in the present study to assess the spatial variation in temperature in the area
Landsat TM images of May 2000 and 2016 were utilized to study the spatial-temporal thermal variations and their
relationships with land cover changes in Hisar city and surrounding area which experienced rapid urbanization in past
decades Land cover classifications were derived to quantify area-specific variations and brightness temperatures were
computed from the TM thermal data to express the urban thermal environment The spatial distributions of surface
temperature indicated that thermal variations had been largely broadened and showed good agreements with a change
in land use and land cover Temperature statistics of main land cover types indicated that built-up and bare land had
higher surface temperatures than natural land covers The findings indicated that the warming effect caused by
urbanization ie mainly where the natural landscape was replaced by urban areas

house gases in the atmosphere resulting in global warming Thus it is obvious that the environmental degradation
process unless detected early and action taken to arrest or mitigate may lead to further deterioration and may affect
sustainable development efforts which is key concern in Agenda 21 Sustainable development of natural resources
refers to maintaining a fragile balance between productivity functions and conservation practices through
identification and monitoring of problem areas and calls for optimal utilization of available natural resources based on
their potentials and limitations while maintaining a good harmony with the environment Information on the nature
extent spatial distribution along with the potentials and limitations of natural resources is a pre-requisite to achieve
the goals of sustainable development By virtue of providing synoptic view of fairly large area at a regular interval
spaceborne multispectral measurements hold great promise in generating reliable information on various natural
resources namely soils mineral surface and ground water forest cover marine resources in a timely and cost-
effective manner Geographic Information System (GIS) offers an ideal environment for integrating spatial and
attribute data on natural resources and environment and for subsequent generation of optimal land use plan on a
micro-watershed basis Furthermore Global Positioning System (GPS) enables making precise in situ measurements
on various terrain parameters which are used for both generating baseline as well as derivative information on natural

Disasters are not random and do not occur by accident They are the convergence of hazards and vulnerable
conditions ie disasters take place when hazards meet vulnerable situations Natural hazards such as fires floods
earthquakes and drought are part of the natural cycles of the earth When such hazards impact on vulnerable societies-
whether it is an earthquake that collapses buildings or a drought that kills crops-that society may face a catastrophic
situation requiring emergency relief and assistance to save lives and to protect the environment Natural disasters can
have a life-altering impact on the individuals families and society and at the same time the effect of natural disasters
can be felt at the community city and state level or many times these may have an impact on entire country The
impact of disasters whether it is natural or man-made not only have human dimensions but environmental ones as
well Deforestation forest management practices agriculture systems etc can exacerbate the negative environmental

impacts of a storm leading to landslides flooding silting and groundsurface water contamination Disasters create
substantial environmental degradation and ecological imbalance hinder socio-economic development and retard the
process of improving the quality of the life of people The interaction of disasters and environment has both short-term
and long-term effects These interaction and interdependencies work in a complicated way and in turn affect people
ecosystem and bio-diversity Environmental vulnerability includes the extent of natural resource depletion reduced
access to clean air safe water sanitation and inappropriate forms of waste management especially in heavily
populated and urban environments that can aggravate socio economic vulnerability Poor environmental conditions
such as diminished biodiversity soil degradation or growing food scarcity can easily threaten food security for people
dependent on the products of land forests pastures and marine environment for their livelihoods Around the globe
land use and land cover changes are eroding the natural buffers that protect communities from hazard risk These same
changes often erode capacity of people to recover from disaster However there are several opportunities to reduce
disaster risk and enhance community resilience A comprehensive understanding of natural systems coupled with the
application of management tools such as environmental evaluation and risk assessment can make a major contribution
to the reduction of risks and mitigation of any impacts There is also a need to explore the link between environmental
systems amp disasters and also the synergies between man-made and natural disasters Changing ecological conditions
can provoke emergencies by placing concurrent stresses on the environment Mitigating the effects of disasters are
primary components in global efforts to ensure environmental security It is clear that further co-ordination and co-
operation on environmental matters depends on the ability of global community to set an environmental agenda for
disaster management and in particular to pay attention to the environmental conditions that lead to disasters and to
natural resource management for disaster prevention and reduction

Eco-friendly means not harmful to our system of environment ie not harmful to land air etc Presently due
to agriculture mainly a lot of pollutants are added day by day in our environment Because of these pollutants the soil
fertility is decreasing the fear of disease in living beings are increasing a lot of poisons chemicals and gases prevails
in the environment There is a great need to the use such a cropping system which is suitable to environment ie Eco-
friendly system of cropping The Eco-friendless of cropping system may be viewed from two different angles ie
systems which help in soil and water conservation and system which reduce the use of pesticides insecticides
herbicides organic fertilizers As far as the pesticides use is concerned at national level it is a still for below the
alarming proportions Inclusion of such crops in the cropping systems in problem areas can play a significant role in
minimizing the use of agro-chemicals in the crop production
In Haryana the use of fertilizer is increasing at a very high rate The use of fertilizers (N P K) has increased
1963 times in 2017-18 from 1970-71 The use of pesticides was also increased from 976 times in 2017-18 from
1970-71 ie from 013 tonne to 057 tonnes per hectare in 2017-18 from 1970-71 But the production of food-grain in
the year 2016-17 increases only 379 times of production in 1970-71 Similarly the average yield of important crops
in Haryana shows a little increase It may be concluded that the consumption of fertilizer and pesticides are increasing
at very high rate as compared to the production of the crops

Earthquake is a tectonic event which is causedthrough the internal pressure released by the earth in the form
of seismic waves Earthquake reveals all other catastrophic events that pose threat to human life and property It is the
most hazardous phenomenon on the earth which has an impact on a very large area leading to deaths injuries and
other socio-economic and physical damage The influence of the earthquake depends mainly on its magnitude place
and time of occurrence Earthquakes can also create other hazards like volcanoes landslides and tsunamis
Approximately 30000 seismic tremors transpire each year in the world Out of these few earthquakes are of so low
magnitude that we cannot feel them while some are of high magnitude thereby causing lots of deaths and damages
The damage caused by the earthquakes depends on the three factors ie depth of the seismic focus the intensity of the
earthquake and itrsquos time of occurrenceNorthwestern Himalayan region lies in the subduction zone between the
Eurasian and Indian plate margins therefore it becomes more vulnerable to the earthquake hazard The region lies in
IV and V seismic zones which is very active In the present study an attempt has been made to analyze the spatial

Accuracy assessment is one of the most important tools in production of Land use and land cover maps
through the process of image classification Land use land cover information is spatial details of particular landscape
which recorded in satellite image through the remote sensing initial step for policy making business and
administrative purposes Land use land cover classification play a vital role because it provide data which can be used
as input for modeling especially the one dealing with environment for instance models dealing with climate change
and policy developments by the process of image classification with the help of geographic information system (GIS)
and remote sensing techniques The present study aims to analyze the accuracy assessment of land use land cover
classification of Almora District of Uttarakhand State of India and to identify the land use land cover classes through
the Andersonrsquo s satellite image classification within the district
In this study the Landsat 8oli image will be used to process of image classification by supervised
classification technique with the help of Erdas imagine 2015 software The study will be evaluated by level of overall
classification accuracy and kappa coefficient which prove the very efficient in the calculation of accuracy assessment

Application of Remote Sensing In Geography
Dr Pratap Singh Rajput Guest Lecturer Govt College Sarni Betul MP
Remote sensing in geology is remote sensing used in the geological sciences as a data acquisition method
complementary to field observation because it allows mapping of geological characteristics of regions without
physical contact with the areas being explored About one-fourth of the Earths total surface area is exposed land
where information is ready to be extracted from detailed earth observation via remote sensing Remote sensing is
conducted via detection of electromagnetic radiation by sensors The radiation can be naturally sourced (passive
remote sensing) or produced by machines (active remote sensing) and reflected off of the Earth surface The
electromagnetic radiation acts as an information carrier for two main variables First the intensities of reflectance at
different wavelengths are detected and plotted on a spectral reflectance curve This spectral fingerprint is governed by
the physio-chemical properties of the surface of the target object and therefore helps mineral identification and hence
geological mapping for example by hyper spectral Second the two-way travel time of radiation from and back to the
sensor can calculate the distance in active remote sensing systems for example Interferometric synthetic-aperture
radar This helps geomorphologic studies of ground motion and thus can illuminate deformations associated
with landslides earthquakes etc Remote sensing data can help studies involving geological mapping geological
hazards and economic geology (ie exploration for minerals petroleum etc) These geological studies commonly
employ a multitude of tools classified according to short to long wavelengths of the electromagnetic radiation which
various instruments are sensitive to Shorter wavelengths are generally useful for site characterization up to
mineralogical scale while longer wavelengths reveal larger scale surface information eg regional thermal anomalies
surface roughness etc Such techniques are particularly beneficial for exploration of inaccessible areas and planets
other than Earth

Application of Geospatial Technology in Monitoring Forest Cover Change An Indian Perspective
Dr Shweta Rani Assistant Professor Department of Geography Dyal Singh College DU New Delhi
A rapidly emerging menace ie deforestation is a big concern and challenge not only before India but across
the world and poses a threat to the sustainable development of mankind Forest resource is renewable resources and is
prominent geographic feature at the global level supporting living organisms of various forms Forest is defined as a
community of living trees and associated organisms which covers a considerable area It usually refers to all lands
more than one hectare in area with a tree canopy density of more than 10 percent irrespective of ownership and legal
status India is one of the ten most forest-rich countries of the world Forestry in India is a significant rural industry
and a major environmental resource But ironically the rate of deforestation in India is alarmingly high to suit a
variety of needs especially to fulfill the agricultural pursuits
In light of preceding discussion the present study will examine and unravel the regional patterns of
deforestation in India In particular the study intends to analyze and explore the extent trends magnitude and
distributional pattern of deforestation across various regions and states and their accuracy assessments for two
different time periods ie 2015 and 2017 The Forest Survey of India and the National Remote Sensing Agency
(NRSA) are two major source providing data for forest cover in India based on interpretation of satellite data The
changes in area under forest have depicted through a change matrix and accuracy assessments of classification of
forest cover have been attempted through Kappa Co-efficient It is a multi-variate technique providing a statistic

The environment is something we are very familiar with Its everything that makes up our surroundings and
affects our ability to live on the earth-the air we breathe the water that covers most of the earths surface The
Environment that consists of everything surrounding us is becoming a major problem day by day This paper attempts
to highlight the role that Media has played in setting perceptions and creating awareness on environmental issues In
the past decades sustainability and environmental awareness have gained media attention Due to increasing media
coverage our society is becoming more aware of the effects that our activities put on the health of the environment In
this regard the media has a big role to play in making people aware of environment issues Most recent steps by the
Government of India for promoting sanitation lsquoSwachchha Bharat Abhiyanrsquo has got success by the united efforts of
the Government and media Media has always covered social and environmental issues thus it is the most

Water Resources Issues and Management in India
Naresh Kumar Assit Professor CRM Jat College Hisar
Water is one of the most essential natural resources for sustaining life Its development and
management play a vital role in agriculture production Integrated water management is vital for poverty
reduction environmental sustenance and sustainable economic development In view of the rapid increase
in population urbanization and industrialization the demand for water for meeting various requirements is
continuously increasing Therefore we are facing numerous challenges in the water sector which include
reducing per capita water availability the decline in groundwater table in many areas and saltwater
intrusion in coastal aquifers The quality of surface water and groundwater is also deteriorating because of
increasing pollutant loads from various sources Climate change may also adversely affect the availability
and distribution of water resources This article presents an overview of relevant issues pertaining to
development and management of water resources in India

Environmental Impacts of Natural Disasters
Tek Chand Student of PU Patiala
It is recognized that many significant nonmarket effects result from natural disasters including environmental
impacts Though our committee had a keen interest in these topics it became clear that these impactsmdashthough often
significantmdashdid not fit easily with this studys main report and conclusions for the following reasons (1) not all
disasters result in significant ecosystem impacts (eg many earthquakes have but minor impacts on ecosystems) (2)
some extreme events have positive impacts on ecosystems (eg floods can help rejuvenate floodplain vegetation and
are important drivers of many ecological processes in floodplains) and (3) these impacts are mainly nonmarket and
are exceptionally difficult to quantify andor monetize Though there are emerging efforts in quantifying and
monetizing ecosystem services (Costanza 1997) they are in their infancy and are not yet widely accepted
Nonetheless the magnitude of the environmental impacts of many disasters compelled the committee to discuss them
and we do so in this Appendix Though no specific recommendations regarding how environmental costs should be
incorporated in loss estimates we provide here we encourage policymakers in the relevant executive branch agencies

to devote more attention and perhaps research to these issues It is important in assessing environmental impacts to
distinguish between impacts of disasters on the natural environment from those on the human-made landscape
environment As mentioned events that societies label as natural disasters may also have beneficial ecological
consequences However these benefits tend to only manifest themselves months or years after an extreme event (eg
rejuvenation of a coniferous forest months andor years after fires) or are often not readily apparent (eg recharging
of groundwater stocks after a flood) These benefits to ecological systems are of course typically overshadowed by
immediate negative impacts on societies and structures hence the use of the term natural disasters

Soils are derived from parent rock material through the process of break-up wear and tear Soil is our prime
natural and economic resource because we derive everything that we need in our life from the soil It is the soil that
provides food both for humans and animals Soil is the most valuable wealth of the country on which the prosperity
and total agricultural products is based There are various factors such as parent material vegetation climate and slope
which affect the formation of soil The change in any one of these factors cause a change in soil types and soil
character

Geographic Information System (GIS) is considered as ldquoautomated systems used for capturing store retrieve
analyze and to display spatial datardquo (Clarke etal 1996) This tool is helpful in analyzing relationships between
location environment and incidences When looking into applicability of GIS both water-borne diseases and vector-
borne diseases are widely investigated topics at global level In the present scenario GIS has an ability to identify
location of specific diseases and their spatial unusual aggregation which can help different health agencies so that they
can provide facilities and prevent further growth of incidents1
The health geography is concerned with two fundamental questions that are revolves around (i) when and
where specific disease tend to occur and why specific pattern of incidence do occur In these directions substantial
growth has been found during the last decade whereas concept of ldquoplacerdquo plays a very significant role in determining
health of people It is regarded as new perspective to look into how ldquohealthrdquo of people is influence from ldquospacerdquo
(Kwan 2012) In the recent period due to development of modern tools such as Geographic Information System
(GIS) which makes it easier to conduct spatial analysis and modeling at different levels Now with these tools modern
epidemiologist and geographers can do analysis of health both spatially and temporally (Cromley and McLafferty
2011)
Water borne diseases are considered as diseases those emerge due to consumption and ingestion of
contaminated water that may contain pathogenic viruses bacteria protozoa and other chemical substances (UNO
Health Report 2003) These pathogens are transmitted into human body through using contaminated water when
utilize for domestic purposes that may responsible for viral bacteria and parasite related diseases A report by World
Health Organization (2016) on ldquoThe situation of water-related infectious diseases in the pan-European regionrdquo define
water related diseases asany substantial effect on human health such as illness disability disorders and sometime
death due to direct or indirect alteration in the quantity or quality of water2

Urban Solid Waste Management (USWM) is most problematic and neglected aspect of Indian Cities The
high population growth and industrialization put strain on the basic infrastructural and municipal services The
Government local self governments make their best efforts to provide all basic amenities and services for meet the
demand of poses challenge before the administration for managing the huge quantity of waste generated by this large
size of population The solid waste generation is a continually growing problem at global regional and local levels
The solid waste is those organic and inorganic waste materials which are produced by various activities of the society
As a result there is considerable increase in MSW (municipal solid waste) generation in India during last few decades
In urban areas particularly in highly urbanized areas of the developing world problems and issues of municipal solid
waste management (MSWM) deserve immediate attention The present study aims at providing an overview of the
existing solid waste management practices in Chandigarh a top tier II city in India and suggests solutions to some of
the major problems being faced by the existing system An average of 400-500 tonsday of solid waste is generated in
Chandigarh municipal corporation area Chandigarh is the first city in India developed in a planned manner which has
helped in developing a comparatively better solid waste management in comparison to other Indian cities The present
study focus on existing waste management practices and it will recommend some suggestions for better management

Rural Development
Ms Priyanka Saini Jayoti Vidyapeeth Womenrsquos University Jaipur
Rural development can be defined as ldquoan integrated development of the area and the people through optimum
development and utilization of local resources-physical biological and human and by bringing about necessary
institutional structural and attitudinal changes of rural publicrdquoRural development means noticeable changes in all
these components But such changes should take place in a mutually supporting relationship so as to generate organic
and optimum development Organic development is one which maintains a healthy relationship among the various
elements or components of a system The concept of rural development was born in the context of agriculture and for
a long time it encompassed agricultural development Since 1970rsquos the concept has become more definite in its
interpretation and it is being regarded as a design to improve the economic and social life especially by extending
benefits of development to the poorest small farmers tenants and landless
Now rural development is not exclusively restricted to any single activity or area it travels many or all areas
which anyway affect upgrading enlisting and petrifying improvement of transformation in socio-economic lives of
rural 51 people Rural development means overall improvement of die quality of life for rural people It is about
reduction of poverty increasing productivity providing basic services like health education drinking water
sanitation extending infrastructure attempt to reverse distorted land distribution and ownership and host of other
aspects redressing inequality exploitation and deprivation in any conceivable sense Rural development as a concept
for planning and executing changes in rural areas is based on the assumption that production increases and social
improvements are not mutually exclusive but on the contrary are mutually strengthening The relation between the
two is complemented so heavily that development on one front cannot proceed beyond a point without a simultaneous
or prior change in the other Another trend in rural development is the special emphasis on the weaker sections of the
society ie the rural poor not merely for improving their level of living but also to bring about a greater degree of
their involvement in the development process Rural development is the ultimate analysis which involves the
provision of opportunities for optimum utilization of human resources in rural areas Human resource development in
its turn can take place only if there is adequate nutrition and working opportunities available for the rural masses

A Geo-Spatial Study of Urban Environment with special reference to Land Surface Temperature and
Normalized Difference Vegetation Index in Delhi India

Dr Sandesh Yadav Freelance Researcher and Alumni Dept of Geography Jamia Millia Islamia New Delhi
Cities are characterized by the rapid urban growth and regeneration process Consequently the land use and
land cover have been altered considerably which in lieu affected the urban environment Urban environment is a
complex entity and any sort of alteration in the urban environment makes the modern urban life unsustainable These
alterations in urban environment require changes both in lifestyle and infrastructure The expansion of Grey
infrastructure and shrinking vegetation cover have induced micro-climatic changes such as heat wave intensification
intensified urban heat island effect and winter warming effect in the study area The dominance of Grey infrastructure
means impermeable surface which affected local heat budget through increased land surface temperature Further less
vegetation cover failed to regulate temperature through cooling effect of evapo-transpiration The present research
study carries out the Geo-spatial analysis of land surface temperature and normalized difference vegetation index for
the period 1990-2015 in the study area The present research is an attempt to trace out reduction in cropland during the
period 1990-2015 in Delhi The satellite data used include Landsat- 45 (TM) Landsat -7 (ETM+) and Landsat ndash 8
(OLI) for three different time periods 1990 2000 and 2015 respectively Moreover suitable statistical techniques have
been used to conduct the present research study

Climate Change and its present day scenario
Rajwinder Singh Assistant Professor Isharjyot Degree College Pehowa
Climate change is an ever going process of nature nothing remained stable in the history of the earth weather
it is its landforms oceans and nor does its climate remained stable at all the time Today the major concern is about
the climate change that we are facing the rate of change has been accelerated in the past few decades Today
Anthropogenic factors are the biggest contributors for the emission of greenhouse gases globally July 2019 was the
hottest month ever recorded on the earth which clearly indicates how worse the situation is This changing scenario
will have its adverse effect For example the rate of forest fires will increase availability and quality of water will also
deteriorate in future On the whole climate change will have an adverse effect on every sphere of life like Agriculture
Forestry Biodiversity water as well as health

Air Pollution By Stubble Burning and Its Impact
Basant Singh
The paper presents the major environment issue regarding air pollution due to stubble burning in Haryana
Haryana lies in indo Gangetic plain The fertile land is good for extensive farming In Haryana paddy and wheat
production is higher than other farming These farming generate a huge amount of agricultural wastes in the form of
stubble The farmer is using fire to remove the stubble Burning of stubble released various Gaseous in the atmosphere
such as Carbon dioxside (co2) carbon monoxide(co)Methane (CH4) Nitrogen oxide(No) and sulphur oxside (sox) as
well as huge quantity of particulate Matter (PM10) and 25 microns or less (PM25) These gaseous causing negative
impact on human health and Global warming The management of crop residue is much important to reduce air
pollution The government takes action to solve the problem of stubble burning or make policies

there is a fluctuation in the land use pattern of the state It further analysed that the advent of modern means of
technology influenced the behaviour and thinking ability of farmers towards the use of land It is observed that
western part of the study region share the more land under the category of barren land culturable wasteland and
fallow land as compare to northern and eastern region throughout the study period It is also found that developed
irrigation facilities development of infrastructure etc are responsible for the modification in the physical
environment and this leads to change in the overall land use pattern The present study is based on secondary sources
of data Twenty years averages are drawn from 1970-71 to 2016-17 Simple statistical methods are used for deriving
the results and cartographic techniques are applied for mapping the results

Flood as disaster results in large scale loss of life and property in the Kosi-Mahananda Doab region of Bihar
Though frequent flood events in Kosi-river have made it lsquoSorrow of Biharrsquo but administrative machinery worked
inefficiently and proved failure in mitigation of flood as disaster in the study area The poor implementation of
management policy poor involvement of local bodies and community-based organizations (CBOs) and weak
participation of local government and unsustainable and uneconomic mobilization of resource are major key issues
resulting in improper and inefficient management plan to mitigate flood as disaster Administrative machinery and
prevailing red tapism results in discrimination in survey delay in relief poor monitoring and evaluation poor
representation lackadaisical attitude of concerned departments The present research article investigates various
factors responsible for administrative crisis and inefficient disaster management plan related to floods in Kosi-
Mahananda doab region Further recommendations and suggestions have been made to improve mitigation measures
of flood in the study area

Origin and History of Women Self Help Groups in India on Rural Development
Dr K Rani Lakshmi Professor amp Dean FHSS IASE Deemed To Be University
In 1976 Prof Mohammed Yunus of Bangladesh started womenrsquos groups in Bangladesh and developed
thrift and savings among the poorest Self Help Group is a novel mechanism and the brainchild of Mohd Yunus a
Noble Prize Winner of 2006 in Bangladesh Now it has developed into a bank named Bangladesh Grameen Bank Its
report in February 1998 states that the bank has 1138 branches and covers 39572 villages It has 2367503 members of
which only 124571 are men With the success of BGB and similar organisations elsewhere the concept of Micro
credit has gained momentum in India Based on this success many Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) in our
country are involved in organising Self Help Groups and they serve as an agent between the bank and the poor Self
Help Groups play today a major role in poverty alleviation in rural India A growing number of poor people (mostly
women) in various parts of India are members of Self Help Groups and actively engage in savings and credit as well
as in other activities like income generation natural resources management literacy child care and nutrition etc The
Self Help Group system has proven to be very relevant and effective in offering women the possibility to break
gradually away from exploitation and isolation

Tourism is considered as one of the largest service industry in the world In Indian economy tourism is
playing significant role to upgrade the development and raising the gross domestic product The tourism sector
becomes increasingly important in national development North-Eastern state are very fortunate and one of the most
potential region in India to attract tourists Uniqueness of the region physical and cultural diversities can attract huge
numbers of visitors and ultimately generate income from them Though this region is counted as one of the backward
regions it has potentialities for future development Tourism sector will be the suitable for that However this sector
necessitates formulation of sustainable tourism strategy so that it can be utilized as a tool for regional development
Being a hilly state Mizoram is always attracting tourists from different parts of the country The state has potential of
adventure and rural tourism Apart from that with its cultural and ethnic uniqueness the state can attract a lot of
tourists to each of the isolated village situated in the hilltop Already the state government declared tourism as an
industry under its development policies Festivals like Anthurium Chapchar Kut are now well know and attracting
few thousands of tourists every year Anthurium festival is becoming the good earning source for the villagers in
Reiek This paper is an attempt to study the role of tourism in rural development in light of Anthurium

Water Resources Of Sangrur District Of Punjab
Harpiyar Singh
Water is primary part of life and essential for human life It is play a major role in human being even we can
say in biotic organism life Human body made with the help of 60 water It can be said water is life itself Without
water no field of human activity is complete Today human is using water resources very badly for own benefit The
ground water decline continuously is a very thinking and understandable an issue There is not state government
responsible but local people also As like people blame on government the decline of ground water is result of
agriculture model and polices of government The ground water level of district Sangrur is continuously decline
Which is a very serious issue This issue can be seen in association with climate chance If this continues the day is
not far when District of Sangrur will be completely transformed into a desert

Yamuna Chambal badlands are located at margin of south-west Gangetic plain in India It is known for
horrible land degradation by water driven erosion The expansion of gully and ravine networks on arable land is
possessing serious socio-economic challenges to the society of this region In this study an estimation of soil erosion
has been made by using Morgan-Morgan Finney Model It has been found that the average annual soil loss rate is 760
tons hactaer2 year Due to undulating surface and high intensity of rainfall in a short spell of time transport capacity
of running water is too high in this region Although seasonal vegetation cover is a dominant protection from erosion
still erosive nature of soils and steep slope makes available big amount for erosion material here The model is used to
evaluate and identify the major zone of erosion Several schemes are applied to counter the land degradation process

Urban areas are suffering from excess hotness in summer mainly due to congested built-up structures The
problem became peculiar for cities located in hot arid conditions such as Hisar in Haryana (India) A continuous
surface of Land Surface Temperature (LST) can be extracted from Landsat thermal bands Similarly different band
combinations and ratios give a spatial pattern of land cover categories Spatiotemporal pattern of temperature in and
around the Hisar city was analyzed in the present study to assess the spatial variation in temperature in the area
Landsat TM images of May 2000 and 2016 were utilized to study the spatial-temporal thermal variations and their
relationships with land cover changes in Hisar city and surrounding area which experienced rapid urbanization in past
decades Land cover classifications were derived to quantify area-specific variations and brightness temperatures were
computed from the TM thermal data to express the urban thermal environment The spatial distributions of surface
temperature indicated that thermal variations had been largely broadened and showed good agreements with a change
in land use and land cover Temperature statistics of main land cover types indicated that built-up and bare land had
higher surface temperatures than natural land covers The findings indicated that the warming effect caused by
urbanization ie mainly where the natural landscape was replaced by urban areas

house gases in the atmosphere resulting in global warming Thus it is obvious that the environmental degradation
process unless detected early and action taken to arrest or mitigate may lead to further deterioration and may affect
sustainable development efforts which is key concern in Agenda 21 Sustainable development of natural resources
refers to maintaining a fragile balance between productivity functions and conservation practices through
identification and monitoring of problem areas and calls for optimal utilization of available natural resources based on
their potentials and limitations while maintaining a good harmony with the environment Information on the nature
extent spatial distribution along with the potentials and limitations of natural resources is a pre-requisite to achieve
the goals of sustainable development By virtue of providing synoptic view of fairly large area at a regular interval
spaceborne multispectral measurements hold great promise in generating reliable information on various natural
resources namely soils mineral surface and ground water forest cover marine resources in a timely and cost-
effective manner Geographic Information System (GIS) offers an ideal environment for integrating spatial and
attribute data on natural resources and environment and for subsequent generation of optimal land use plan on a
micro-watershed basis Furthermore Global Positioning System (GPS) enables making precise in situ measurements
on various terrain parameters which are used for both generating baseline as well as derivative information on natural

Disasters are not random and do not occur by accident They are the convergence of hazards and vulnerable
conditions ie disasters take place when hazards meet vulnerable situations Natural hazards such as fires floods
earthquakes and drought are part of the natural cycles of the earth When such hazards impact on vulnerable societies-
whether it is an earthquake that collapses buildings or a drought that kills crops-that society may face a catastrophic
situation requiring emergency relief and assistance to save lives and to protect the environment Natural disasters can
have a life-altering impact on the individuals families and society and at the same time the effect of natural disasters
can be felt at the community city and state level or many times these may have an impact on entire country The
impact of disasters whether it is natural or man-made not only have human dimensions but environmental ones as
well Deforestation forest management practices agriculture systems etc can exacerbate the negative environmental

impacts of a storm leading to landslides flooding silting and groundsurface water contamination Disasters create
substantial environmental degradation and ecological imbalance hinder socio-economic development and retard the
process of improving the quality of the life of people The interaction of disasters and environment has both short-term
and long-term effects These interaction and interdependencies work in a complicated way and in turn affect people
ecosystem and bio-diversity Environmental vulnerability includes the extent of natural resource depletion reduced
access to clean air safe water sanitation and inappropriate forms of waste management especially in heavily
populated and urban environments that can aggravate socio economic vulnerability Poor environmental conditions
such as diminished biodiversity soil degradation or growing food scarcity can easily threaten food security for people
dependent on the products of land forests pastures and marine environment for their livelihoods Around the globe
land use and land cover changes are eroding the natural buffers that protect communities from hazard risk These same
changes often erode capacity of people to recover from disaster However there are several opportunities to reduce
disaster risk and enhance community resilience A comprehensive understanding of natural systems coupled with the
application of management tools such as environmental evaluation and risk assessment can make a major contribution
to the reduction of risks and mitigation of any impacts There is also a need to explore the link between environmental
systems amp disasters and also the synergies between man-made and natural disasters Changing ecological conditions
can provoke emergencies by placing concurrent stresses on the environment Mitigating the effects of disasters are
primary components in global efforts to ensure environmental security It is clear that further co-ordination and co-
operation on environmental matters depends on the ability of global community to set an environmental agenda for
disaster management and in particular to pay attention to the environmental conditions that lead to disasters and to
natural resource management for disaster prevention and reduction

Eco-friendly means not harmful to our system of environment ie not harmful to land air etc Presently due
to agriculture mainly a lot of pollutants are added day by day in our environment Because of these pollutants the soil
fertility is decreasing the fear of disease in living beings are increasing a lot of poisons chemicals and gases prevails
in the environment There is a great need to the use such a cropping system which is suitable to environment ie Eco-
friendly system of cropping The Eco-friendless of cropping system may be viewed from two different angles ie
systems which help in soil and water conservation and system which reduce the use of pesticides insecticides
herbicides organic fertilizers As far as the pesticides use is concerned at national level it is a still for below the
alarming proportions Inclusion of such crops in the cropping systems in problem areas can play a significant role in
minimizing the use of agro-chemicals in the crop production
In Haryana the use of fertilizer is increasing at a very high rate The use of fertilizers (N P K) has increased
1963 times in 2017-18 from 1970-71 The use of pesticides was also increased from 976 times in 2017-18 from
1970-71 ie from 013 tonne to 057 tonnes per hectare in 2017-18 from 1970-71 But the production of food-grain in
the year 2016-17 increases only 379 times of production in 1970-71 Similarly the average yield of important crops
in Haryana shows a little increase It may be concluded that the consumption of fertilizer and pesticides are increasing
at very high rate as compared to the production of the crops

Earthquake is a tectonic event which is causedthrough the internal pressure released by the earth in the form
of seismic waves Earthquake reveals all other catastrophic events that pose threat to human life and property It is the
most hazardous phenomenon on the earth which has an impact on a very large area leading to deaths injuries and
other socio-economic and physical damage The influence of the earthquake depends mainly on its magnitude place
and time of occurrence Earthquakes can also create other hazards like volcanoes landslides and tsunamis
Approximately 30000 seismic tremors transpire each year in the world Out of these few earthquakes are of so low
magnitude that we cannot feel them while some are of high magnitude thereby causing lots of deaths and damages
The damage caused by the earthquakes depends on the three factors ie depth of the seismic focus the intensity of the
earthquake and itrsquos time of occurrenceNorthwestern Himalayan region lies in the subduction zone between the
Eurasian and Indian plate margins therefore it becomes more vulnerable to the earthquake hazard The region lies in
IV and V seismic zones which is very active In the present study an attempt has been made to analyze the spatial
pattern of earthquakes occurrence in northwest Himalayan region of India

Mass media is one of the most important factors underlying the knowledge of environment problem This can
only be true on the condition that first mass media are accessible to large proportion of the population second are
spending some time on environment issues and third people are interested in information on ecological issues
provided by media so that they view or listen to the corresponding program as well as read newspaper articles or other
written publications dealing with environmental issues Television print news radio broadcast and the internet are
enlisted to help promote a ldquogreen ldquoethic and raise environmental awareness
Mass media play an important role for creating environment awareness among people These daysrsquo climate
change issues are getting the highest priority and making the headlines in print and electronic media Government and
the people depend on communication and mass Media not only for disseminating information but also in setting
agenda for the development and other allied activities
Media has the power of focusing the factor that causes environmental problems as well as adverse impacts on
people Media acts as a catalyst in enlightening the masses on issues related to climate change A section of the media
has drawn our attention on several environmental issues like Ganga River action plan chipko movement Narmada
Bachavo Andolan and Appiko movement were kept alive mainly by the coverage in various media
Media can play a great role in communication of the natural disaster of region media certain characteristics that make
them powerful instruments of disaster Communication as they provide quick and easy access to large numbers of
people located at different places It helps in highlighting the problem and difficulties faced by the people affected by
disaster
Through communication members of society share their experiences and knowledge understands each other
and generates collective wisdom Today various types of mass media enable people all over the world to interact and
learn from each other at a tremendous pace Communication with the help of mass media not only brings people but
also communities together Thus contracting the globe into the village The environment and media research

Application of Remote Sensing In Geography
Dr Pratap Singh Rajput Guest Lecturer Govt College Sarni Betul MP
Remote sensing in geology is remote sensing used in the geological sciences as a data acquisition method
complementary to field observation because it allows mapping of geological characteristics of regions without
physical contact with the areas being explored About one-fourth of the Earths total surface area is exposed land
where information is ready to be extracted from detailed earth observation via remote sensing Remote sensing is
conducted via detection of electromagnetic radiation by sensors The radiation can be naturally sourced (passive
remote sensing) or produced by machines (active remote sensing) and reflected off of the Earth surface The
electromagnetic radiation acts as an information carrier for two main variables First the intensities of reflectance at
different wavelengths are detected and plotted on a spectral reflectance curve This spectral fingerprint is governed by
the physio-chemical properties of the surface of the target object and therefore helps mineral identification and hence
geological mapping for example by hyper spectral Second the two-way travel time of radiation from and back to the
sensor can calculate the distance in active remote sensing systems for example Interferometric synthetic-aperture
radar This helps geomorphologic studies of ground motion and thus can illuminate deformations associated
with landslides earthquakes etc Remote sensing data can help studies involving geological mapping geological
hazards and economic geology (ie exploration for minerals petroleum etc) These geological studies commonly
employ a multitude of tools classified according to short to long wavelengths of the electromagnetic radiation which
various instruments are sensitive to Shorter wavelengths are generally useful for site characterization up to
mineralogical scale while longer wavelengths reveal larger scale surface information eg regional thermal anomalies
surface roughness etc Such techniques are particularly beneficial for exploration of inaccessible areas and planets
other than Earth

Environmental Impacts of Natural Disasters
Tek Chand Student of PU Patiala
It is recognized that many significant nonmarket effects result from natural disasters including environmental
impacts Though our committee had a keen interest in these topics it became clear that these impactsmdashthough often
significantmdashdid not fit easily with this studys main report and conclusions for the following reasons (1) not all
disasters result in significant ecosystem impacts (eg many earthquakes have but minor impacts on ecosystems) (2)
some extreme events have positive impacts on ecosystems (eg floods can help rejuvenate floodplain vegetation and
are important drivers of many ecological processes in floodplains) and (3) these impacts are mainly nonmarket and
are exceptionally difficult to quantify andor monetize Though there are emerging efforts in quantifying and
monetizing ecosystem services (Costanza 1997) they are in their infancy and are not yet widely accepted
Nonetheless the magnitude of the environmental impacts of many disasters compelled the committee to discuss them
and we do so in this Appendix Though no specific recommendations regarding how environmental costs should be
incorporated in loss estimates we provide here we encourage policymakers in the relevant executive branch agencies

to devote more attention and perhaps research to these issues It is important in assessing environmental impacts to
distinguish between impacts of disasters on the natural environment from those on the human-made landscape
environment As mentioned events that societies label as natural disasters may also have beneficial ecological
consequences However these benefits tend to only manifest themselves months or years after an extreme event (eg
rejuvenation of a coniferous forest months andor years after fires) or are often not readily apparent (eg recharging
of groundwater stocks after a flood) These benefits to ecological systems are of course typically overshadowed by
immediate negative impacts on societies and structures hence the use of the term natural disasters

Soils are derived from parent rock material through the process of break-up wear and tear Soil is our prime
natural and economic resource because we derive everything that we need in our life from the soil It is the soil that
provides food both for humans and animals Soil is the most valuable wealth of the country on which the prosperity
and total agricultural products is based There are various factors such as parent material vegetation climate and slope
which affect the formation of soil The change in any one of these factors cause a change in soil types and soil
character
An intimate knowledge of soil is a prerequisite for all agricultural operations and planning The role of soil is
of paramount importance in Hisar district where it provides livelihood to 70 of the total population The Hisar
district soils have developed under the arid and humid climate over the bedrocks of complex nature predominantly
under the process of laterization The present paper deals with the various types of soil of Hisar district It also
investigates the major soil problems in the study area

Disaster Prevention and Management in India
Om Prakash Choyal Kuchaman PG College Rajasthan
India is one of the hazard prone countries in South Asia Floods droughts landslides snowstorms hurricanes
and cyclones occur regularly Among these earthquakes floods and drought risk are extremely high These hazards
threaten millions of lives and cause large scale financial infrastructure agriculture and productivity losses that
seriously hinder Indiarsquos overall development In India the primary responsibility for responding to disaster lies at the
state and the central level The GOI have a national emergency plan for disaster management some of the state also
has a disaster management plan It can be and is called upon to assist when necessary but there is a lack of awareness
in the public Many Indian States have limited resources and lack their own disaster management plans Considering
these problems this paper attempts to throw light on a more integrated and responsive disaster management system in
India This paper will provide important information in three mutually reinforcing areas viz disaster preparedness
response and rehabilitation management The various case studies for disaster management will be discussed

Water Resources Issues and Management in India
Naresh Kumar Assit Professor CRM Jat College Hisar
Water is one of the most essential natural resources for sustaining life Its development and management play
a vital role in agriculture production Integrated water management is vital for poverty reduction environmental
sustenance and sustainable economic development In view of the rapid increase in population urbanization and
industrialization the demand for water for meeting various requirements is continuously increasing Therefore we are
facing numerous challenges in the water sector which include reducing per capita water availability the decline in
groundwater table in many areas and saltwater intrusion in coastal aquifers The quality of surface water and
groundwater is also deteriorating because of increasing pollutant loads from various sources Climate change may also
adversely affect the availability and distribution of water resources This article presents an overview of relevant
issues pertaining to development and management of water resources in India

Water resource Management and Landform Anomalies in Foothills of Siwaliks
Dr Arti Singh Researcher Society for Application Research and Consultancy (SC) New Delhi
The learning present an perceptive of landforms and its characteristics for water resource management in the
Foothills of siwaliks the study area forming a mountain ecosystem of the lesser Himalayas represents a part of the
Siwaliks extending between 30deg 19rsquo N and 77deg 35rsquo E from the Badshahibagh Rao and 30deg 11rsquo N and 77deg 55rsquo E the
Mohand Rao rivers The study focuses on various landforms found in the study area and its relation with the water
resource It is well known that the Practical and philosophical impediments are upsetting modern attempts to achieve a
satisfying understanding of landforms and their genesis In recent years spatial application has made this study a much
interesting and knowledgeable The present paper focuses the water Resource study of Mohand area in Lower siwaliks
with the application of remote sensing and GIS as a tool It is found the piedmont zone is a good recharge zone for
water The scarcity of water is mainly with the streams along all the major rivers especially in the areas of structural
and denudo structural hills of the upper and middle portion of the study area The barkala fan area can play a vital role
as a main source of water recharge with the rain water harvesting techniques Different thematic layers are prepared
using remote sensing and GIS for the assessment of water resources status The union coverage of land use land

cover geology geomorphology soil and slope status maps have been incorporated in the Arc GIS environment as
input coverage The existing water resource classes have been reclassified according to the criterion statement five
classes of water resources can be regrouped into three classes such as good moderate and poor status of water
resources in the study area Overall results show that nearly 60 of the geographical area has good and moderate
resources Another major part of poor resource areas need to be reclaimed to restore and improve its resource status
The method used is incorporation of DEM of study area to see the major anomalies of study area and its role in overall
water resource management in the piedmont Some dugwells of the area is estimated with measurements (in mts) for
the better results Finally the conclusion shows that there is a comparative role of geomorphology and landform for
water resource management in the area therefore Resource management planning strategy has been suggested

Application of Geospatial Analysis in the Study of Water Borne Disease

Geographic Information System (GIS) is considered as ldquoautomated systems used for capturing store retrieve
analyze and to display spatial datardquo (Clarke etal 1996) This tool is helpful in analyzing relationships between
location environment and incidences When looking into applicability of GIS both water-borne diseases and vector-
borne diseases are widely investigated topics at global level In the present scenario GIS has an ability to identify
location of specific diseases and their spatial unusual aggregation which can help different health agencies so that they
can provide facilities and prevent further growth of incidents1
The health geography is concerned with two fundamental questions that are revolves around (i) when and
where specific disease tend to occur and why specific pattern of incidence do occur In these directions substantial
growth has been found during the last decade whereas concept of ldquoplacerdquo plays a very significant role in determining
health of people It is regarded as new perspective to look into how ldquohealthrdquo of people is influence from ldquospacerdquo
(Kwan 2012) In the recent period due to development of modern tools such as Geographic Information System
(GIS) which makes it easier to conduct spatial analysis and modeling at different levels Now with these tools modern
epidemiologist and geographers can do analysis of health both spatially and temporally (Cromley and McLafferty
2011)
Water borne diseases are considered as diseases those emerge due to consumption and ingestion of
contaminated water that may contain pathogenic viruses bacteria protozoa and other chemical substances (UNO
Health Report 2003) These pathogens are transmitted into human body through using contaminated water when
utilize for domestic purposes that may responsible for viral bacteria and parasite related diseases A report by World
Health Organization (2016) on ldquoThe situation of water-related infectious diseases in the pan-European regionrdquo define
water related diseases asany substantial effect on human health such as illness disability disorders and sometime
death due to direct or indirect alteration in the quantity or quality of water2

Urban Solid Waste Management (USWM) is most problematic and neglected aspect of Indian Cities The
high population growth and industrialization put strain on the basic infrastructural and municipal services The
Government local self governments make their best efforts to provide all basic amenities and services for meet the
demand of poses challenge before the administration for managing the huge quantity of waste generated by this large
size of population The solid waste generation is a continually growing problem at global regional and local levels
The solid waste is those organic and inorganic waste materials which are produced by various activities of the society
As a result there is considerable increase in MSW (municipal solid waste) generation in India during last few decades
In urban areas particularly in highly urbanized areas of the developing world problems and issues of municipal solid
waste management (MSWM) deserve immediate attention The present study aims at providing an overview of the
existing solid waste management practices in Chandigarh a top tier II city in India and suggests solutions to some of
the major problems being faced by the existing system An average of 400-500 tonsday of solid waste is generated in
Chandigarh municipal corporation area Chandigarh is the first city in India developed in a planned manner which has
helped in developing a comparatively better solid waste management in comparison to other Indian cities The present
study focus on existing waste management practices and it will recommend some suggestions for better management

Rural Development
Ms Priyanka Saini Jayoti Vidyapeeth Womenrsquos University Jaipur
Rural development can be defined as ldquoan integrated development of the area and the people through optimum
development and utilization of local resources-physical biological and human and by bringing about necessary
institutional structural and attitudinal changes of rural publicrdquoRural development means noticeable changes in all
these components But such changes should take place in a mutually supporting relationship so as to generate organic
and optimum development Organic development is one which maintains a healthy relationship among the various
elements or components of a system The concept of rural development was born in the context of agriculture and for
a long time it encompassed agricultural development Since 1970rsquos the concept has become more definite in its
interpretation and it is being regarded as a design to improve the economic and social life especially by extending
benefits of development to the poorest small farmers tenants and landless
Now rural development is not exclusively restricted to any single activity or area it travels many or all areas
which anyway affect upgrading enlisting and petrifying improvement of transformation in socio-economic lives of
rural 51 people Rural development means overall improvement of die quality of life for rural people It is about
reduction of poverty increasing productivity providing basic services like health education drinking water
sanitation extending infrastructure attempt to reverse distorted land distribution and ownership and host of other
aspects redressing inequality exploitation and deprivation in any conceivable sense Rural development as a concept
for planning and executing changes in rural areas is based on the assumption that production increases and social
improvements are not mutually exclusive but on the contrary are mutually strengthening The relation between the
two is complemented so heavily that development on one front cannot proceed beyond a point without a simultaneous
or prior change in the other Another trend in rural development is the special emphasis on the weaker sections of the
society ie the rural poor not merely for improving their level of living but also to bring about a greater degree of
their involvement in the development process Rural development is the ultimate analysis which involves the
provision of opportunities for optimum utilization of human resources in rural areas Human resource development in
its turn can take place only if there is adequate nutrition and working opportunities available for the rural masses

A Geo-Spatial Study of Urban Environment with special reference to Land Surface Temperature and
Normalized Difference Vegetation Index in Delhi India
National Conference on ldquoMethods amp Applications of Geospatial Technology in Sustainable Developmentrdquo
Souvenir 2020 Page 14
Dr Sandesh Yadav Freelance Researcher and Alumni Dept of Geography Jamia Millia Islamia New Delhi
Cities are characterized by the rapid urban growth and regeneration process Consequently the land use and
land cover have been altered considerably which in lieu affected the urban environment Urban environment is a
complex entity and any sort of alteration in the urban environment makes the modern urban life unsustainable These
alterations in urban environment require changes both in lifestyle and infrastructure The expansion of Grey
infrastructure and shrinking vegetation cover have induced micro-climatic changes such as heat wave intensification
intensified urban heat island effect and winter warming effect in the study area The dominance of Grey infrastructure
means impermeable surface which affected local heat budget through increased land surface temperature Further less

Climate Change and its present day scenario
Rajwinder Singh Assistant Professor Isharjyot Degree College Pehowa
Climate change is an ever going process of nature nothing remained stable in the history of the earth weather
it is its landforms oceans and nor does its climate remained stable at all the time Today the major concern is about
the climate change that we are facing the rate of change has been accelerated in the past few decades Today
Anthropogenic factors are the biggest contributors for the emission of greenhouse gases globally July 2019 was the
hottest month ever recorded on the earth which clearly indicates how worse the situation is This changing scenario
will have its adverse effect For example the rate of forest fires will increase availability and quality of water will also
deteriorate in future On the whole climate change will have an adverse effect on every sphere of life like Agriculture
Forestry Biodiversity water as well as health

Basant Singh
The paper presents the major environment issue regarding air pollution due to stubble burning in Haryana
Haryana lies in indo Gangetic plain The fertile land is good for extensive farming In Haryana paddy and wheat
production is higher than other farming These farming generate a huge amount of agricultural wastes in the form of
stubble The farmer is using fire to remove the stubble Burning of stubble released various Gaseous in the atmosphere
such as Carbon dioxside (co2) carbon monoxide(co)Methane (CH4) Nitrogen oxide(No) and sulphur oxside (sox) as
well as huge quantity of particulate Matter (PM10) and 25 microns or less (PM25) These gaseous causing negative
impact on human health and Global warming The management of crop residue is much important to reduce air
pollution The government takes action to solve the problem of stubble burning or make policies

there is a fluctuation in the land use pattern of the state It further analysed that the advent of modern means of
technology influenced the behaviour and thinking ability of farmers towards the use of land It is observed that
western part of the study region share the more land under the category of barren land culturable wasteland and
fallow land as compare to northern and eastern region throughout the study period It is also found that developed
irrigation facilities development of infrastructure etc are responsible for the modification in the physical
environment and this leads to change in the overall land use pattern The present study is based on secondary sources
of data Twenty years averages are drawn from 1970-71 to 2016-17 Simple statistical methods are used for deriving

In 1976 Prof Mohammed Yunus of Bangladesh started womenrsquos groups in Bangladesh and developed
thrift and savings among the poorest Self Help Group is a novel mechanism and the brainchild of Mohd Yunus a
Noble Prize Winner of 2006 in Bangladesh Now it has developed into a bank named Bangladesh Grameen Bank Its
report in February 1998 states that the bank has 1138 branches and covers 39572 villages It has 2367503 members of
which only 124571 are men With the success of BGB and similar organisations elsewhere the concept of Micro
credit has gained momentum in India Based on this success many Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) in our
country are involved in organising Self Help Groups and they serve as an agent between the bank and the poor Self
Help Groups play today a major role in poverty alleviation in rural India A growing number of poor people (mostly
women) in various parts of India are members of Self Help Groups and actively engage in savings and credit as well
as in other activities like income generation natural resources management literacy child care and nutrition etc The

Tourism is considered as one of the largest service industry in the world In Indian economy tourism is
playing significant role to upgrade the development and raising the gross domestic product The tourism sector
becomes increasingly important in national development North-Eastern state are very fortunate and one of the most
potential region in India to attract tourists Uniqueness of the region physical and cultural diversities can attract huge
numbers of visitors and ultimately generate income from them Though this region is counted as one of the backward
regions it has potentialities for future development Tourism sector will be the suitable for that However this sector
necessitates formulation of sustainable tourism strategy so that it can be utilized as a tool for regional development
Being a hilly state Mizoram is always attracting tourists from different parts of the country The state has potential of
adventure and rural tourism Apart from that with its cultural and ethnic uniqueness the state can attract a lot of
tourists to each of the isolated village situated in the hilltop Already the state government declared tourism as an
industry under its development policies Festivals like Anthurium Chapchar Kut are now well know and attracting
few thousands of tourists every year Anthurium festival is becoming the good earning source for the villagers in

Urban areas are suffering from excess hotness in summer mainly due to congested built-up structures The
problem became peculiar for cities located in hot arid conditions such as Hisar in Haryana (India) A continuous
surface of Land Surface Temperature (LST) can be extracted from Landsat thermal bands Similarly different band
combinations and ratios give a spatial pattern of land cover categories Spatiotemporal pattern of temperature in and
around the Hisar city was analyzed in the present study to assess the spatial variation in temperature in the area
Landsat TM images of May 2000 and 2016 were utilized to study the spatial-temporal thermal variations and their
relationships with land cover changes in Hisar city and surrounding area which experienced rapid urbanization in past
decades Land cover classifications were derived to quantify area-specific variations and brightness temperatures were
computed from the TM thermal data to express the urban thermal environment The spatial distributions of surface
temperature indicated that thermal variations had been largely broadened and showed good agreements with a change
in land use and land cover Temperature statistics of main land cover types indicated that built-up and bare land had
higher surface temperatures than natural land covers The findings indicated that the warming effect caused by
urbanization ie mainly where the natural landscape was replaced by urban areas

process unless detected early and action taken to arrest or mitigate may lead to further deterioration and may affect
sustainable development efforts which is key concern in Agenda 21 Sustainable development of natural resources
refers to maintaining a fragile balance between productivity functions and conservation practices through
identification and monitoring of problem areas and calls for optimal utilization of available natural resources based on
their potentials and limitations while maintaining a good harmony with the environment Information on the nature
extent spatial distribution along with the potentials and limitations of natural resources is a pre-requisite to achieve
the goals of sustainable development By virtue of providing synoptic view of fairly large area at a regular interval

Disasters are not random and do not occur by accident They are the convergence of hazards and vulnerable
conditions ie disasters take place when hazards meet vulnerable situations Natural hazards such as fires floods
earthquakes and drought are part of the natural cycles of the earth When such hazards impact on vulnerable societies-
whether it is an earthquake that collapses buildings or a drought that kills crops-that society may face a catastrophic
situation requiring emergency relief and assistance to save lives and to protect the environment Natural disasters can
have a life-altering impact on the individuals families and society and at the same time the effect of natural disasters
can be felt at the community city and state level or many times these may have an impact on entire country The
impact of disasters whether it is natural or man-made not only have human dimensions but environmental ones as
well Deforestation forest management practices agriculture systems etc can exacerbate the negative environmental

impacts of a storm leading to landslides flooding silting and groundsurface water contamination Disasters create
substantial environmental degradation and ecological imbalance hinder socio-economic development and retard the
process of improving the quality of the life of people The interaction of disasters and environment has both short-term
and long-term effects These interaction and interdependencies work in a complicated way and in turn affect people
ecosystem and bio-diversity Environmental vulnerability includes the extent of natural resource depletion reduced
access to clean air safe water sanitation and inappropriate forms of waste management especially in heavily
populated and urban environments that can aggravate socio economic vulnerability Poor environmental conditions
such as diminished biodiversity soil degradation or growing food scarcity can easily threaten food security for people
dependent on the products of land forests pastures and marine environment for their livelihoods Around the globe
land use and land cover changes are eroding the natural buffers that protect communities from hazard risk These same
changes often erode capacity of people to recover from disaster However there are several opportunities to reduce
disaster risk and enhance community resilience A comprehensive understanding of natural systems coupled with the
application of management tools such as environmental evaluation and risk assessment can make a major contribution
to the reduction of risks and mitigation of any impacts There is also a need to explore the link between environmental
systems amp disasters and also the synergies between man-made and natural disasters Changing ecological conditions
can provoke emergencies by placing concurrent stresses on the environment Mitigating the effects of disasters are
primary components in global efforts to ensure environmental security It is clear that further co-ordination and co-
operation on environmental matters depends on the ability of global community to set an environmental agenda for
disaster management and in particular to pay attention to the environmental conditions that lead to disasters and to
natural resource management for disaster prevention and reduction

Eco-friendly means not harmful to our system of environment ie not harmful to land air etc Presently due
to agriculture mainly a lot of pollutants are added day by day in our environment Because of these pollutants the soil
fertility is decreasing the fear of disease in living beings are increasing a lot of poisons chemicals and gases prevails
in the environment There is a great need to the use such a cropping system which is suitable to environment ie Eco-
friendly system of cropping The Eco-friendless of cropping system may be viewed from two different angles ie
systems which help in soil and water conservation and system which reduce the use of pesticides insecticides
herbicides organic fertilizers As far as the pesticides use is concerned at national level it is a still for below the
alarming proportions Inclusion of such crops in the cropping systems in problem areas can play a significant role in
minimizing the use of agro-chemicals in the crop production
In Haryana the use of fertilizer is increasing at a very high rate The use of fertilizers (N P K) has increased
1963 times in 2017-18 from 1970-71 The use of pesticides was also increased from 976 times in 2017-18 from
1970-71 ie from 013 tonne to 057 tonnes per hectare in 2017-18 from 1970-71 But the production of food-grain in
the year 2016-17 increases only 379 times of production in 1970-71 Similarly the average yield of important crops
in Haryana shows a little increase It may be concluded that the consumption of fertilizer and pesticides are increasing
at very high rate as compared to the production of the crops

Earthquake is a tectonic event which is causedthrough the internal pressure released by the earth in the form
of seismic waves Earthquake reveals all other catastrophic events that pose threat to human life and property It is the
most hazardous phenomenon on the earth which has an impact on a very large area leading to deaths injuries and
other socio-economic and physical damage The influence of the earthquake depends mainly on its magnitude place
and time of occurrence Earthquakes can also create other hazards like volcanoes landslides and tsunamis
Approximately 30000 seismic tremors transpire each year in the world Out of these few earthquakes are of so low
magnitude that we cannot feel them while some are of high magnitude thereby causing lots of deaths and damages
The damage caused by the earthquakes depends on the three factors ie depth of the seismic focus the intensity of the
earthquake and itrsquos time of occurrenceNorthwestern Himalayan region lies in the subduction zone between the
Eurasian and Indian plate margins therefore it becomes more vulnerable to the earthquake hazard The region lies in
IV and V seismic zones which is very active In the present study an attempt has been made to analyze the spatial

provided by media so that they view or listen to the corresponding program as well as read newspaper articles or other
written publications dealing with environmental issues Television print news radio broadcast and the internet are
enlisted to help promote a ldquogreen ldquoethic and raise environmental awareness
Mass media play an important role for creating environment awareness among people These daysrsquo climate
change issues are getting the highest priority and making the headlines in print and electronic media Government and
the people depend on communication and mass Media not only for disseminating information but also in setting
agenda for the development and other allied activities
Media has the power of focusing the factor that causes environmental problems as well as adverse impacts on
people Media acts as a catalyst in enlightening the masses on issues related to climate change A section of the media
has drawn our attention on several environmental issues like Ganga River action plan chipko movement Narmada
Bachavo Andolan and Appiko movement were kept alive mainly by the coverage in various media
Media can play a great role in communication of the natural disaster of region media certain characteristics that make
them powerful instruments of disaster Communication as they provide quick and easy access to large numbers of
people located at different places It helps in highlighting the problem and difficulties faced by the people affected by
disaster
Through communication members of society share their experiences and knowledge understands each other
and generates collective wisdom Today various types of mass media enable people all over the world to interact and
learn from each other at a tremendous pace Communication with the help of mass media not only brings people but
also communities together Thus contracting the globe into the village The environment and media research

Application of Remote Sensing In Geography
Dr Pratap Singh Rajput Guest Lecturer Govt College Sarni Betul MP
Remote sensing in geology is remote sensing used in the geological sciences as a data acquisition method
complementary to field observation because it allows mapping of geological characteristics of regions without
physical contact with the areas being explored About one-fourth of the Earths total surface area is exposed land
where information is ready to be extracted from detailed earth observation via remote sensing Remote sensing is
conducted via detection of electromagnetic radiation by sensors The radiation can be naturally sourced (passive
remote sensing) or produced by machines (active remote sensing) and reflected off of the Earth surface The
electromagnetic radiation acts as an information carrier for two main variables First the intensities of reflectance at
different wavelengths are detected and plotted on a spectral reflectance curve This spectral fingerprint is governed by
the physio-chemical properties of the surface of the target object and therefore helps mineral identification and hence
geological mapping for example by hyper spectral Second the two-way travel time of radiation from and back to the
sensor can calculate the distance in active remote sensing systems for example Interferometric synthetic-aperture
radar This helps geomorphologic studies of ground motion and thus can illuminate deformations associated
with landslides earthquakes etc Remote sensing data can help studies involving geological mapping geological
hazards and economic geology (ie exploration for minerals petroleum etc) These geological studies commonly

various instruments are sensitive to Shorter wavelengths are generally useful for site characterization up to

Application of Geospatial Technology in Monitoring Forest Cover Change An Indian Perspective
Dr Shweta Rani Assistant Professor Department of Geography Dyal Singh College DU New Delhi
A rapidly emerging menace ie deforestation is a big concern and challenge not only before India but across
the world and poses a threat to the sustainable development of mankind Forest resource is renewable resources and is
prominent geographic feature at the global level supporting living organisms of various forms Forest is defined as a
community of living trees and associated organisms which covers a considerable area It usually refers to all lands
more than one hectare in area with a tree canopy density of more than 10 percent irrespective of ownership and legal
status India is one of the ten most forest-rich countries of the world Forestry in India is a significant rural industry
and a major environmental resource But ironically the rate of deforestation in India is alarmingly high to suit a
variety of needs especially to fulfill the agricultural pursuits
In light of preceding discussion the present study will examine and unravel the regional patterns of
deforestation in India In particular the study intends to analyze and explore the extent trends magnitude and
distributional pattern of deforestation across various regions and states and their accuracy assessments for two
different time periods ie 2015 and 2017 The Forest Survey of India and the National Remote Sensing Agency
(NRSA) are two major source providing data for forest cover in India based on interpretation of satellite data The
changes in area under forest have depicted through a change matrix and accuracy assessments of classification of
forest cover have been attempted through Kappa Co-efficient It is a multi-variate technique providing a statistic

The environment is something we are very familiar with Its everything that makes up our surroundings and
affects our ability to live on the earth-the air we breathe the water that covers most of the earths surface The
Environment that consists of everything surrounding us is becoming a major problem day by day This paper attempts
to highlight the role that Media has played in setting perceptions and creating awareness on environmental issues In
the past decades sustainability and environmental awareness have gained media attention Due to increasing media
coverage our society is becoming more aware of the effects that our activities put on the health of the environment In
this regard the media has a big role to play in making people aware of environment issues Most recent steps by the
Government of India for promoting sanitation lsquoSwachchha Bharat Abhiyanrsquo has got success by the united efforts of
the Government and media Media has always covered social and environmental issues thus it is the most
revolutionary device for spreading consciousness towards environment protection

Water Resources Issues and Management in India
Naresh Kumar Assit Professor CRM Jat College Hisar
Water is one of the most essential natural resources for sustaining life Its development and
management play a vital role in agriculture production Integrated water management is vital for poverty
reduction environmental sustenance and sustainable economic development In view of the rapid increase
in population urbanization and industrialization the demand for water for meeting various requirements is
continuously increasing Therefore we are facing numerous challenges in the water sector which include
reducing per capita water availability the decline in groundwater table in many areas and saltwater
intrusion in coastal aquifers The quality of surface water and groundwater is also deteriorating because of
increasing pollutant loads from various sources Climate change may also adversely affect the availability
and distribution of water resources This article presents an overview of relevant issues pertaining to
development and management of water resources in India

Environmental Impacts of Natural Disasters
Tek Chand Student of PU Patiala
It is recognized that many significant nonmarket effects result from natural disasters including environmental
impacts Though our committee had a keen interest in these topics it became clear that these impactsmdashthough often
significantmdashdid not fit easily with this studys main report and conclusions for the following reasons (1) not all
disasters result in significant ecosystem impacts (eg many earthquakes have but minor impacts on ecosystems) (2)
some extreme events have positive impacts on ecosystems (eg floods can help rejuvenate floodplain vegetation and
are important drivers of many ecological processes in floodplains) and (3) these impacts are mainly nonmarket and
are exceptionally difficult to quantify andor monetize Though there are emerging efforts in quantifying and
monetizing ecosystem services (Costanza 1997) they are in their infancy and are not yet widely accepted
Nonetheless the magnitude of the environmental impacts of many disasters compelled the committee to discuss them
and we do so in this Appendix Though no specific recommendations regarding how environmental costs should be
incorporated in loss estimates we provide here we encourage policymakers in the relevant executive branch agencies

to devote more attention and perhaps research to these issues It is important in assessing environmental impacts to
distinguish between impacts of disasters on the natural environment from those on the human-made landscape
environment As mentioned events that societies label as natural disasters may also have beneficial ecological
consequences However these benefits tend to only manifest themselves months or years after an extreme event (eg
rejuvenation of a coniferous forest months andor years after fires) or are often not readily apparent (eg recharging
of groundwater stocks after a flood) These benefits to ecological systems are of course typically overshadowed by
immediate negative impacts on societies and structures hence the use of the term natural disasters

Soils are derived from parent rock material through the process of break-up wear and tear Soil is our prime
natural and economic resource because we derive everything that we need in our life from the soil It is the soil that
provides food both for humans and animals Soil is the most valuable wealth of the country on which the prosperity
and total agricultural products is based There are various factors such as parent material vegetation climate and slope
which affect the formation of soil The change in any one of these factors cause a change in soil types and soil
character
An intimate knowledge of soil is a prerequisite for all agricultural operations and planning The role of soil is
of paramount importance in Hisar district where it provides livelihood to 70 of the total population The Hisar
district soils have developed under the arid and humid climate over the bedrocks of complex nature predominantly
under the process of laterization The present paper deals with the various types of soil of Hisar district It also

Disaster Prevention and Management in India
Om Prakash Choyal Kuchaman PG College Rajasthan
India is one of the hazard prone countries in South Asia Floods droughts landslides snowstorms hurricanes
and cyclones occur regularly Among these earthquakes floods and drought risk are extremely high These hazards
threaten millions of lives and cause large scale financial infrastructure agriculture and productivity losses that
seriously hinder Indiarsquos overall development In India the primary responsibility for responding to disaster lies at the
state and the central level The GOI have a national emergency plan for disaster management some of the state also
has a disaster management plan It can be and is called upon to assist when necessary but there is a lack of awareness
in the public Many Indian States have limited resources and lack their own disaster management plans Considering
these problems this paper attempts to throw light on a more integrated and responsive disaster management system in
India This paper will provide important information in three mutually reinforcing areas viz disaster preparedness
response and rehabilitation management The various case studies for disaster management will be discussed

input coverage The existing water resource classes have been reclassified according to the criterion statement five
classes of water resources can be regrouped into three classes such as good moderate and poor status of water
resources in the study area Overall results show that nearly 60 of the geographical area has good and moderate
resources Another major part of poor resource areas need to be reclaimed to restore and improve its resource status
The method used is incorporation of DEM of study area to see the major anomalies of study area and its role in overall
water resource management in the piedmont Some dugwells of the area is estimated with measurements (in mts) for
the better results Finally the conclusion shows that there is a comparative role of geomorphology and landform for

Application of Geospatial Analysis in the Study of Water Borne Disease

Geographic Information System (GIS) is considered as ldquoautomated systems used for capturing store retrieve
analyze and to display spatial datardquo (Clarke etal 1996) This tool is helpful in analyzing relationships between
location environment and incidences When looking into applicability of GIS both water-borne diseases and vector-
borne diseases are widely investigated topics at global level In the present scenario GIS has an ability to identify
location of specific diseases and their spatial unusual aggregation which can help different health agencies so that they
can provide facilities and prevent further growth of incidents1
The health geography is concerned with two fundamental questions that are revolves around (i) when and
where specific disease tend to occur and why specific pattern of incidence do occur In these directions substantial
growth has been found during the last decade whereas concept of ldquoplacerdquo plays a very significant role in determining
health of people It is regarded as new perspective to look into how ldquohealthrdquo of people is influence from ldquospacerdquo
(Kwan 2012) In the recent period due to development of modern tools such as Geographic Information System
(GIS) which makes it easier to conduct spatial analysis and modeling at different levels Now with these tools modern
epidemiologist and geographers can do analysis of health both spatially and temporally (Cromley and McLafferty
2011)
Water borne diseases are considered as diseases those emerge due to consumption and ingestion of
contaminated water that may contain pathogenic viruses bacteria protozoa and other chemical substances (UNO
Health Report 2003) These pathogens are transmitted into human body through using contaminated water when
utilize for domestic purposes that may responsible for viral bacteria and parasite related diseases A report by World
Health Organization (2016) on ldquoThe situation of water-related infectious diseases in the pan-European regionrdquo define
water related diseases asany substantial effect on human health such as illness disability disorders and sometime
death due to direct or indirect alteration in the quantity or quality of water2

Urban Solid Waste Management (USWM) is most problematic and neglected aspect of Indian Cities The
high population growth and industrialization put strain on the basic infrastructural and municipal services The
Government local self governments make their best efforts to provide all basic amenities and services for meet the
demand of poses challenge before the administration for managing the huge quantity of waste generated by this large
size of population The solid waste generation is a continually growing problem at global regional and local levels
The solid waste is those organic and inorganic waste materials which are produced by various activities of the society
As a result there is considerable increase in MSW (municipal solid waste) generation in India during last few decades
In urban areas particularly in highly urbanized areas of the developing world problems and issues of municipal solid
waste management (MSWM) deserve immediate attention The present study aims at providing an overview of the
existing solid waste management practices in Chandigarh a top tier II city in India and suggests solutions to some of
the major problems being faced by the existing system An average of 400-500 tonsday of solid waste is generated in
Chandigarh municipal corporation area Chandigarh is the first city in India developed in a planned manner which has
helped in developing a comparatively better solid waste management in comparison to other Indian cities The present
study focus on existing waste management practices and it will recommend some suggestions for better management

Rural Development
Ms Priyanka Saini Jayoti Vidyapeeth Womenrsquos University Jaipur
Rural development can be defined as ldquoan integrated development of the area and the people through optimum
development and utilization of local resources-physical biological and human and by bringing about necessary
institutional structural and attitudinal changes of rural publicrdquoRural development means noticeable changes in all
these components But such changes should take place in a mutually supporting relationship so as to generate organic
and optimum development Organic development is one which maintains a healthy relationship among the various
elements or components of a system The concept of rural development was born in the context of agriculture and for
a long time it encompassed agricultural development Since 1970rsquos the concept has become more definite in its
interpretation and it is being regarded as a design to improve the economic and social life especially by extending
benefits of development to the poorest small farmers tenants and landless
Now rural development is not exclusively restricted to any single activity or area it travels many or all areas
which anyway affect upgrading enlisting and petrifying improvement of transformation in socio-economic lives of
rural 51 people Rural development means overall improvement of die quality of life for rural people It is about
reduction of poverty increasing productivity providing basic services like health education drinking water
sanitation extending infrastructure attempt to reverse distorted land distribution and ownership and host of other
aspects redressing inequality exploitation and deprivation in any conceivable sense Rural development as a concept
for planning and executing changes in rural areas is based on the assumption that production increases and social
improvements are not mutually exclusive but on the contrary are mutually strengthening The relation between the
two is complemented so heavily that development on one front cannot proceed beyond a point without a simultaneous
or prior change in the other Another trend in rural development is the special emphasis on the weaker sections of the
society ie the rural poor not merely for improving their level of living but also to bring about a greater degree of
their involvement in the development process Rural development is the ultimate analysis which involves the
provision of opportunities for optimum utilization of human resources in rural areas Human resource development in
its turn can take place only if there is adequate nutrition and working opportunities available for the rural masses

A Geo-Spatial Study of Urban Environment with special reference to Land Surface Temperature and
Normalized Difference Vegetation Index in Delhi India
National Conference on ldquoMethods amp Applications of Geospatial Technology in Sustainable Developmentrdquo
Souvenir 2020 Page 14
Dr Sandesh Yadav Freelance Researcher and Alumni Dept of Geography Jamia Millia Islamia New Delhi
Cities are characterized by the rapid urban growth and regeneration process Consequently the land use and
land cover have been altered considerably which in lieu affected the urban environment Urban environment is a
complex entity and any sort of alteration in the urban environment makes the modern urban life unsustainable These
alterations in urban environment require changes both in lifestyle and infrastructure The expansion of Grey
infrastructure and shrinking vegetation cover have induced micro-climatic changes such as heat wave intensification
intensified urban heat island effect and winter warming effect in the study area The dominance of Grey infrastructure
means impermeable surface which affected local heat budget through increased land surface temperature Further less
vegetation cover failed to regulate temperature through cooling effect of evapo-transpiration The present research
study carries out the Geo-spatial analysis of land surface temperature and normalized difference vegetation index for
the period 1990-2015 in the study area The present research is an attempt to trace out reduction in cropland during the
period 1990-2015 in Delhi The satellite data used include Landsat- 45 (TM) Landsat -7 (ETM+) and Landsat ndash 8
(OLI) for three different time periods 1990 2000 and 2015 respectively Moreover suitable statistical techniques have
been used to conduct the present research study

Climate Change and its present day scenario
Rajwinder Singh Assistant Professor Isharjyot Degree College Pehowa
Climate change is an ever going process of nature nothing remained stable in the history of the earth weather
it is its landforms oceans and nor does its climate remained stable at all the time Today the major concern is about
the climate change that we are facing the rate of change has been accelerated in the past few decades Today
Anthropogenic factors are the biggest contributors for the emission of greenhouse gases globally July 2019 was the
hottest month ever recorded on the earth which clearly indicates how worse the situation is This changing scenario
will have its adverse effect For example the rate of forest fires will increase availability and quality of water will also
deteriorate in future On the whole climate change will have an adverse effect on every sphere of life like Agriculture
Forestry Biodiversity water as well as health

Air Pollution By Stubble Burning and Its Impact
Basant Singh
The paper presents the major environment issue regarding air pollution due to stubble burning in Haryana
Haryana lies in indo Gangetic plain The fertile land is good for extensive farming In Haryana paddy and wheat
production is higher than other farming These farming generate a huge amount of agricultural wastes in the form of
stubble The farmer is using fire to remove the stubble Burning of stubble released various Gaseous in the atmosphere
such as Carbon dioxside (co2) carbon monoxide(co)Methane (CH4) Nitrogen oxide(No) and sulphur oxside (sox) as
well as huge quantity of particulate Matter (PM10) and 25 microns or less (PM25) These gaseous causing negative
impact on human health and Global warming The management of crop residue is much important to reduce air
pollution The government takes action to solve the problem of stubble burning or make policies

Alka Rani Research Scholar Department of Geography Punjabi University Patiala
The major objective of the present paper is to explain the land use pattern and factors responsible for this in
Rajasthan during the study period For achieving the aim the present study is divided into four parts At the end
conclusions are drawn on the basis of observations Land use may be defined as the major indicator of change in the
field of agriculture It is responsible for the diversification in the agricultural development The study had noted that
National Conference on ldquoMethods amp Applications of Geospatial Technology in Sustainable Developmentrdquo
Souvenir 2020 Page 15
there is a fluctuation in the land use pattern of the state It further analysed that the advent of modern means of
technology influenced the behaviour and thinking ability of farmers towards the use of land It is observed that
western part of the study region share the more land under the category of barren land culturable wasteland and
fallow land as compare to northern and eastern region throughout the study period It is also found that developed
irrigation facilities development of infrastructure etc are responsible for the modification in the physical
environment and this leads to change in the overall land use pattern The present study is based on secondary sources
of data Twenty years averages are drawn from 1970-71 to 2016-17 Simple statistical methods are used for deriving
the results and cartographic techniques are applied for mapping the results

Flood as disaster results in large scale loss of life and property in the Kosi-Mahananda Doab region of Bihar
Though frequent flood events in Kosi-river have made it lsquoSorrow of Biharrsquo but administrative machinery worked
inefficiently and proved failure in mitigation of flood as disaster in the study area The poor implementation of
management policy poor involvement of local bodies and community-based organizations (CBOs) and weak
participation of local government and unsustainable and uneconomic mobilization of resource are major key issues
resulting in improper and inefficient management plan to mitigate flood as disaster Administrative machinery and
prevailing red tapism results in discrimination in survey delay in relief poor monitoring and evaluation poor
representation lackadaisical attitude of concerned departments The present research article investigates various
factors responsible for administrative crisis and inefficient disaster management plan related to floods in Kosi-
Mahananda doab region Further recommendations and suggestions have been made to improve mitigation measures
of flood in the study area

Origin and History of Women Self Help Groups in India on Rural Development
Dr K Rani Lakshmi Professor amp Dean FHSS IASE Deemed To Be University
In 1976 Prof Mohammed Yunus of Bangladesh started womenrsquos groups in Bangladesh and developed
thrift and savings among the poorest Self Help Group is a novel mechanism and the brainchild of Mohd Yunus a
Noble Prize Winner of 2006 in Bangladesh Now it has developed into a bank named Bangladesh Grameen Bank Its
report in February 1998 states that the bank has 1138 branches and covers 39572 villages It has 2367503 members of
which only 124571 are men With the success of BGB and similar organisations elsewhere the concept of Micro
credit has gained momentum in India Based on this success many Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) in our
country are involved in organising Self Help Groups and they serve as an agent between the bank and the poor Self
Help Groups play today a major role in poverty alleviation in rural India A growing number of poor people (mostly
women) in various parts of India are members of Self Help Groups and actively engage in savings and credit as well
as in other activities like income generation natural resources management literacy child care and nutrition etc The
Self Help Group system has proven to be very relevant and effective in offering women the possibility to break

Dr Ghanashyam Deka Assistant Professor Department of Geography Pachhunga University Mizoram
Tourism is considered as one of the largest service industry in the world In Indian economy tourism is
playing significant role to upgrade the development and raising the gross domestic product The tourism sector
becomes increasingly important in national development North-Eastern state are very fortunate and one of the most
potential region in India to attract tourists Uniqueness of the region physical and cultural diversities can attract huge
numbers of visitors and ultimately generate income from them Though this region is counted as one of the backward
regions it has potentialities for future development Tourism sector will be the suitable for that However this sector
necessitates formulation of sustainable tourism strategy so that it can be utilized as a tool for regional development
Being a hilly state Mizoram is always attracting tourists from different parts of the country The state has potential of
adventure and rural tourism Apart from that with its cultural and ethnic uniqueness the state can attract a lot of
tourists to each of the isolated village situated in the hilltop Already the state government declared tourism as an
industry under its development policies Festivals like Anthurium Chapchar Kut are now well know and attracting
few thousands of tourists every year Anthurium festival is becoming the good earning source for the villagers in

say in biotic organism life Human body made with the help of 60 water It can be said water is life itself Without
water no field of human activity is complete Today human is using water resources very badly for own benefit The
ground water decline continuously is a very thinking and understandable an issue There is not state government
responsible but local people also As like people blame on government the decline of ground water is result of
agriculture model and polices of government The ground water level of district Sangrur is continuously decline
Which is a very serious issue This issue can be seen in association with climate chance If this continues the day is

Yamuna Chambal badlands are located at margin of south-west Gangetic plain in India It is known for
horrible land degradation by water driven erosion The expansion of gully and ravine networks on arable land is
possessing serious socio-economic challenges to the society of this region In this study an estimation of soil erosion
has been made by using Morgan-Morgan Finney Model It has been found that the average annual soil loss rate is 760
tons hactaer2 year Due to undulating surface and high intensity of rainfall in a short spell of time transport capacity
of running water is too high in this region Although seasonal vegetation cover is a dominant protection from erosion
still erosive nature of soils and steep slope makes available big amount for erosion material here The model is used to
evaluate and identify the major zone of erosion Several schemes are applied to counter the land degradation process

Urban areas are suffering from excess hotness in summer mainly due to congested built-up structures The
problem became peculiar for cities located in hot arid conditions such as Hisar in Haryana (India) A continuous
surface of Land Surface Temperature (LST) can be extracted from Landsat thermal bands Similarly different band
combinations and ratios give a spatial pattern of land cover categories Spatiotemporal pattern of temperature in and
around the Hisar city was analyzed in the present study to assess the spatial variation in temperature in the area
Landsat TM images of May 2000 and 2016 were utilized to study the spatial-temporal thermal variations and their
relationships with land cover changes in Hisar city and surrounding area which experienced rapid urbanization in past
decades Land cover classifications were derived to quantify area-specific variations and brightness temperatures were
computed from the TM thermal data to express the urban thermal environment The spatial distributions of surface
temperature indicated that thermal variations had been largely broadened and showed good agreements with a change
in land use and land cover Temperature statistics of main land cover types indicated that built-up and bare land had
higher surface temperatures than natural land covers The findings indicated that the warming effect caused by
urbanization ie mainly where the natural landscape was replaced by urban areas

Over exploitation of available natural resources for meeting the growing demand for food fuel and fiber of an
ever-increasing population has led to serious environmental degradation Globally 19644x106 ha lands are affected
by human induced degradation Of this 1903x106 ha are subject to soil erosion by water 5483x106 ha to wind
erosion 2391x106 ha to chemical deterioration 682x106 ha to compaction and 105 x 10 ha to water logging

house gases in the atmosphere resulting in global warming Thus it is obvious that the environmental degradation
process unless detected early and action taken to arrest or mitigate may lead to further deterioration and may affect
sustainable development efforts which is key concern in Agenda 21 Sustainable development of natural resources
refers to maintaining a fragile balance between productivity functions and conservation practices through
identification and monitoring of problem areas and calls for optimal utilization of available natural resources based on
their potentials and limitations while maintaining a good harmony with the environment Information on the nature
extent spatial distribution along with the potentials and limitations of natural resources is a pre-requisite to achieve
the goals of sustainable development By virtue of providing synoptic view of fairly large area at a regular interval
spaceborne multispectral measurements hold great promise in generating reliable information on various natural
resources namely soils mineral surface and ground water forest cover marine resources in a timely and cost-
effective manner Geographic Information System (GIS) offers an ideal environment for integrating spatial and
attribute data on natural resources and environment and for subsequent generation of optimal land use plan on a
micro-watershed basis Furthermore Global Positioning System (GPS) enables making precise in situ measurements
on various terrain parameters which are used for both generating baseline as well as derivative information on natural

Disasters are not random and do not occur by accident They are the convergence of hazards and vulnerable
conditions ie disasters take place when hazards meet vulnerable situations Natural hazards such as fires floods
earthquakes and drought are part of the natural cycles of the earth When such hazards impact on vulnerable societies-
whether it is an earthquake that collapses buildings or a drought that kills crops-that society may face a catastrophic
situation requiring emergency relief and assistance to save lives and to protect the environment Natural disasters can
have a life-altering impact on the individuals families and society and at the same time the effect of natural disasters
can be felt at the community city and state level or many times these may have an impact on entire country The
impact of disasters whether it is natural or man-made not only have human dimensions but environmental ones as
well Deforestation forest management practices agriculture systems etc can exacerbate the negative environmental

impacts of a storm leading to landslides flooding silting and groundsurface water contamination Disasters create
substantial environmental degradation and ecological imbalance hinder socio-economic development and retard the
process of improving the quality of the life of people The interaction of disasters and environment has both short-term
and long-term effects These interaction and interdependencies work in a complicated way and in turn affect people
ecosystem and bio-diversity Environmental vulnerability includes the extent of natural resource depletion reduced
access to clean air safe water sanitation and inappropriate forms of waste management especially in heavily
populated and urban environments that can aggravate socio economic vulnerability Poor environmental conditions
such as diminished biodiversity soil degradation or growing food scarcity can easily threaten food security for people
dependent on the products of land forests pastures and marine environment for their livelihoods Around the globe
land use and land cover changes are eroding the natural buffers that protect communities from hazard risk These same
changes often erode capacity of people to recover from disaster However there are several opportunities to reduce
disaster risk and enhance community resilience A comprehensive understanding of natural systems coupled with the
application of management tools such as environmental evaluation and risk assessment can make a major contribution
to the reduction of risks and mitigation of any impacts There is also a need to explore the link between environmental
systems amp disasters and also the synergies between man-made and natural disasters Changing ecological conditions
can provoke emergencies by placing concurrent stresses on the environment Mitigating the effects of disasters are
primary components in global efforts to ensure environmental security It is clear that further co-ordination and co-
operation on environmental matters depends on the ability of global community to set an environmental agenda for
disaster management and in particular to pay attention to the environmental conditions that lead to disasters and to
natural resource management for disaster prevention and reduction

Eco-friendly means not harmful to our system of environment ie not harmful to land air etc Presently due
to agriculture mainly a lot of pollutants are added day by day in our environment Because of these pollutants the soil
fertility is decreasing the fear of disease in living beings are increasing a lot of poisons chemicals and gases prevails
in the environment There is a great need to the use such a cropping system which is suitable to environment ie Eco-
friendly system of cropping The Eco-friendless of cropping system may be viewed from two different angles ie
systems which help in soil and water conservation and system which reduce the use of pesticides insecticides
herbicides organic fertilizers As far as the pesticides use is concerned at national level it is a still for below the
alarming proportions Inclusion of such crops in the cropping systems in problem areas can play a significant role in
minimizing the use of agro-chemicals in the crop production
In Haryana the use of fertilizer is increasing at a very high rate The use of fertilizers (N P K) has increased
1963 times in 2017-18 from 1970-71 The use of pesticides was also increased from 976 times in 2017-18 from
1970-71 ie from 013 tonne to 057 tonnes per hectare in 2017-18 from 1970-71 But the production of food-grain in
the year 2016-17 increases only 379 times of production in 1970-71 Similarly the average yield of important crops
in Haryana shows a little increase It may be concluded that the consumption of fertilizer and pesticides are increasing
at very high rate as compared to the production of the crops

Earthquake is a tectonic event which is causedthrough the internal pressure released by the earth in the form
of seismic waves Earthquake reveals all other catastrophic events that pose threat to human life and property It is the
most hazardous phenomenon on the earth which has an impact on a very large area leading to deaths injuries and
other socio-economic and physical damage The influence of the earthquake depends mainly on its magnitude place
and time of occurrence Earthquakes can also create other hazards like volcanoes landslides and tsunamis
Approximately 30000 seismic tremors transpire each year in the world Out of these few earthquakes are of so low
magnitude that we cannot feel them while some are of high magnitude thereby causing lots of deaths and damages
The damage caused by the earthquakes depends on the three factors ie depth of the seismic focus the intensity of the
earthquake and itrsquos time of occurrenceNorthwestern Himalayan region lies in the subduction zone between the
Eurasian and Indian plate margins therefore it becomes more vulnerable to the earthquake hazard The region lies in
IV and V seismic zones which is very active In the present study an attempt has been made to analyze the spatial

Mass media is one of the most important factors underlying the knowledge of environment problem This can
only be true on the condition that first mass media are accessible to large proportion of the population second are
spending some time on environment issues and third people are interested in information on ecological issues
provided by media so that they view or listen to the corresponding program as well as read newspaper articles or other
written publications dealing with environmental issues Television print news radio broadcast and the internet are
enlisted to help promote a ldquogreen ldquoethic and raise environmental awareness
Mass media play an important role for creating environment awareness among people These daysrsquo climate
change issues are getting the highest priority and making the headlines in print and electronic media Government and
the people depend on communication and mass Media not only for disseminating information but also in setting
agenda for the development and other allied activities
Media has the power of focusing the factor that causes environmental problems as well as adverse impacts on
people Media acts as a catalyst in enlightening the masses on issues related to climate change A section of the media
has drawn our attention on several environmental issues like Ganga River action plan chipko movement Narmada
Bachavo Andolan and Appiko movement were kept alive mainly by the coverage in various media
Media can play a great role in communication of the natural disaster of region media certain characteristics that make
them powerful instruments of disaster Communication as they provide quick and easy access to large numbers of
people located at different places It helps in highlighting the problem and difficulties faced by the people affected by
disaster
Through communication members of society share their experiences and knowledge understands each other
and generates collective wisdom Today various types of mass media enable people all over the world to interact and
learn from each other at a tremendous pace Communication with the help of mass media not only brings people but
also communities together Thus contracting the globe into the village The environment and media research

Application of Remote Sensing In Geography
Dr Pratap Singh Rajput Guest Lecturer Govt College Sarni Betul MP
Remote sensing in geology is remote sensing used in the geological sciences as a data acquisition method
complementary to field observation because it allows mapping of geological characteristics of regions without
physical contact with the areas being explored About one-fourth of the Earths total surface area is exposed land
where information is ready to be extracted from detailed earth observation via remote sensing Remote sensing is
conducted via detection of electromagnetic radiation by sensors The radiation can be naturally sourced (passive
remote sensing) or produced by machines (active remote sensing) and reflected off of the Earth surface The
electromagnetic radiation acts as an information carrier for two main variables First the intensities of reflectance at
different wavelengths are detected and plotted on a spectral reflectance curve This spectral fingerprint is governed by
the physio-chemical properties of the surface of the target object and therefore helps mineral identification and hence
geological mapping for example by hyper spectral Second the two-way travel time of radiation from and back to the
sensor can calculate the distance in active remote sensing systems for example Interferometric synthetic-aperture
radar This helps geomorphologic studies of ground motion and thus can illuminate deformations associated
with landslides earthquakes etc Remote sensing data can help studies involving geological mapping geological
hazards and economic geology (ie exploration for minerals petroleum etc) These geological studies commonly
employ a multitude of tools classified according to short to long wavelengths of the electromagnetic radiation which
various instruments are sensitive to Shorter wavelengths are generally useful for site characterization up to
mineralogical scale while longer wavelengths reveal larger scale surface information eg regional thermal anomalies
surface roughness etc Such techniques are particularly beneficial for exploration of inaccessible areas and planets
other than Earth

The environment is something we are very familiar with Its everything that makes up our surroundings and
affects our ability to live on the earth-the air we breathe the water that covers most of the earths surface The
Environment that consists of everything surrounding us is becoming a major problem day by day This paper attempts
to highlight the role that Media has played in setting perceptions and creating awareness on environmental issues In
the past decades sustainability and environmental awareness have gained media attention Due to increasing media
coverage our society is becoming more aware of the effects that our activities put on the health of the environment In
this regard the media has a big role to play in making people aware of environment issues Most recent steps by the
Government of India for promoting sanitation lsquoSwachchha Bharat Abhiyanrsquo has got success by the united efforts of
the Government and media Media has always covered social and environmental issues thus it is the most
revolutionary device for spreading consciousness towards environment protection

Water Resources Issues and Management in India
Naresh Kumar Assit Professor CRM Jat College Hisar
Water is one of the most essential natural resources for sustaining life Its development and
management play a vital role in agriculture production Integrated water management is vital for poverty
reduction environmental sustenance and sustainable economic development In view of the rapid increase
in population urbanization and industrialization the demand for water for meeting various requirements is
continuously increasing Therefore we are facing numerous challenges in the water sector which include
reducing per capita water availability the decline in groundwater table in many areas and saltwater
intrusion in coastal aquifers The quality of surface water and groundwater is also deteriorating because of
increasing pollutant loads from various sources Climate change may also adversely affect the availability
and distribution of water resources This article presents an overview of relevant issues pertaining to
development and management of water resources in India

Environmental Impacts of Natural Disasters
Tek Chand Student of PU Patiala
It is recognized that many significant nonmarket effects result from natural disasters including environmental
impacts Though our committee had a keen interest in these topics it became clear that these impactsmdashthough often
significantmdashdid not fit easily with this studys main report and conclusions for the following reasons (1) not all
disasters result in significant ecosystem impacts (eg many earthquakes have but minor impacts on ecosystems) (2)
some extreme events have positive impacts on ecosystems (eg floods can help rejuvenate floodplain vegetation and
are important drivers of many ecological processes in floodplains) and (3) these impacts are mainly nonmarket and
are exceptionally difficult to quantify andor monetize Though there are emerging efforts in quantifying and
monetizing ecosystem services (Costanza 1997) they are in their infancy and are not yet widely accepted
Nonetheless the magnitude of the environmental impacts of many disasters compelled the committee to discuss them
and we do so in this Appendix Though no specific recommendations regarding how environmental costs should be
incorporated in loss estimates we provide here we encourage policymakers in the relevant executive branch agencies

to devote more attention and perhaps research to these issues It is important in assessing environmental impacts to
distinguish between impacts of disasters on the natural environment from those on the human-made landscape
environment As mentioned events that societies label as natural disasters may also have beneficial ecological
consequences However these benefits tend to only manifest themselves months or years after an extreme event (eg
rejuvenation of a coniferous forest months andor years after fires) or are often not readily apparent (eg recharging
of groundwater stocks after a flood) These benefits to ecological systems are of course typically overshadowed by
immediate negative impacts on societies and structures hence the use of the term natural disasters

2 Dr Phool Kumar Associate Professor in Geography Govt PGCollege for Women Rohtak
Soils are derived from parent rock material through the process of break-up wear and tear Soil is our prime
natural and economic resource because we derive everything that we need in our life from the soil It is the soil that
provides food both for humans and animals Soil is the most valuable wealth of the country on which the prosperity
and total agricultural products is based There are various factors such as parent material vegetation climate and slope
which affect the formation of soil The change in any one of these factors cause a change in soil types and soil
character
An intimate knowledge of soil is a prerequisite for all agricultural operations and planning The role of soil is
of paramount importance in Hisar district where it provides livelihood to 70 of the total population The Hisar
district soils have developed under the arid and humid climate over the bedrocks of complex nature predominantly
under the process of laterization The present paper deals with the various types of soil of Hisar district It also
investigates the major soil problems in the study area

Disaster Prevention and Management in India
Om Prakash Choyal Kuchaman PG College Rajasthan
India is one of the hazard prone countries in South Asia Floods droughts landslides snowstorms hurricanes
and cyclones occur regularly Among these earthquakes floods and drought risk are extremely high These hazards
threaten millions of lives and cause large scale financial infrastructure agriculture and productivity losses that
seriously hinder Indiarsquos overall development In India the primary responsibility for responding to disaster lies at the
state and the central level The GOI have a national emergency plan for disaster management some of the state also
has a disaster management plan It can be and is called upon to assist when necessary but there is a lack of awareness
in the public Many Indian States have limited resources and lack their own disaster management plans Considering
these problems this paper attempts to throw light on a more integrated and responsive disaster management system in
India This paper will provide important information in three mutually reinforcing areas viz disaster preparedness
response and rehabilitation management The various case studies for disaster management will be discussed

Dr Arti Singh Researcher Society for Application Research and Consultancy (SC) New Delhi
The learning present an perceptive of landforms and its characteristics for water resource management in the
Foothills of siwaliks the study area forming a mountain ecosystem of the lesser Himalayas represents a part of the
Siwaliks extending between 30deg 19rsquo N and 77deg 35rsquo E from the Badshahibagh Rao and 30deg 11rsquo N and 77deg 55rsquo E the
Mohand Rao rivers The study focuses on various landforms found in the study area and its relation with the water
resource It is well known that the Practical and philosophical impediments are upsetting modern attempts to achieve a
satisfying understanding of landforms and their genesis In recent years spatial application has made this study a much
interesting and knowledgeable The present paper focuses the water Resource study of Mohand area in Lower siwaliks
with the application of remote sensing and GIS as a tool It is found the piedmont zone is a good recharge zone for
water The scarcity of water is mainly with the streams along all the major rivers especially in the areas of structural
and denudo structural hills of the upper and middle portion of the study area The barkala fan area can play a vital role
as a main source of water recharge with the rain water harvesting techniques Different thematic layers are prepared
using remote sensing and GIS for the assessment of water resources status The union coverage of land use land

input coverage The existing water resource classes have been reclassified according to the criterion statement five
classes of water resources can be regrouped into three classes such as good moderate and poor status of water
resources in the study area Overall results show that nearly 60 of the geographical area has good and moderate
resources Another major part of poor resource areas need to be reclaimed to restore and improve its resource status
The method used is incorporation of DEM of study area to see the major anomalies of study area and its role in overall
water resource management in the piedmont Some dugwells of the area is estimated with measurements (in mts) for
the better results Finally the conclusion shows that there is a comparative role of geomorphology and landform for
water resource management in the area therefore Resource management planning strategy has been suggested

Application of Geospatial Analysis in the Study of Water Borne Disease

Geographic Information System (GIS) is considered as ldquoautomated systems used for capturing store retrieve
analyze and to display spatial datardquo (Clarke etal 1996) This tool is helpful in analyzing relationships between
location environment and incidences When looking into applicability of GIS both water-borne diseases and vector-
borne diseases are widely investigated topics at global level In the present scenario GIS has an ability to identify
location of specific diseases and their spatial unusual aggregation which can help different health agencies so that they
can provide facilities and prevent further growth of incidents1
The health geography is concerned with two fundamental questions that are revolves around (i) when and
where specific disease tend to occur and why specific pattern of incidence do occur In these directions substantial
growth has been found during the last decade whereas concept of ldquoplacerdquo plays a very significant role in determining
health of people It is regarded as new perspective to look into how ldquohealthrdquo of people is influence from ldquospacerdquo
(Kwan 2012) In the recent period due to development of modern tools such as Geographic Information System
(GIS) which makes it easier to conduct spatial analysis and modeling at different levels Now with these tools modern
epidemiologist and geographers can do analysis of health both spatially and temporally (Cromley and McLafferty
2011)
Water borne diseases are considered as diseases those emerge due to consumption and ingestion of
contaminated water that may contain pathogenic viruses bacteria protozoa and other chemical substances (UNO
Health Report 2003) These pathogens are transmitted into human body through using contaminated water when
utilize for domestic purposes that may responsible for viral bacteria and parasite related diseases A report by World
Health Organization (2016) on ldquoThe situation of water-related infectious diseases in the pan-European regionrdquo define
water related diseases asany substantial effect on human health such as illness disability disorders and sometime
death due to direct or indirect alteration in the quantity or quality of water2

Urban Solid Waste Management (USWM) is most problematic and neglected aspect of Indian Cities The
high population growth and industrialization put strain on the basic infrastructural and municipal services The
Government local self governments make their best efforts to provide all basic amenities and services for meet the
demand of poses challenge before the administration for managing the huge quantity of waste generated by this large
size of population The solid waste generation is a continually growing problem at global regional and local levels
The solid waste is those organic and inorganic waste materials which are produced by various activities of the society
As a result there is considerable increase in MSW (municipal solid waste) generation in India during last few decades
In urban areas particularly in highly urbanized areas of the developing world problems and issues of municipal solid
waste management (MSWM) deserve immediate attention The present study aims at providing an overview of the
existing solid waste management practices in Chandigarh a top tier II city in India and suggests solutions to some of
the major problems being faced by the existing system An average of 400-500 tonsday of solid waste is generated in
Chandigarh municipal corporation area Chandigarh is the first city in India developed in a planned manner which has
helped in developing a comparatively better solid waste management in comparison to other Indian cities The present
study focus on existing waste management practices and it will recommend some suggestions for better management

Rural Development
Ms Priyanka Saini Jayoti Vidyapeeth Womenrsquos University Jaipur
Rural development can be defined as ldquoan integrated development of the area and the people through optimum
development and utilization of local resources-physical biological and human and by bringing about necessary
institutional structural and attitudinal changes of rural publicrdquoRural development means noticeable changes in all
these components But such changes should take place in a mutually supporting relationship so as to generate organic
and optimum development Organic development is one which maintains a healthy relationship among the various
elements or components of a system The concept of rural development was born in the context of agriculture and for
a long time it encompassed agricultural development Since 1970rsquos the concept has become more definite in its
interpretation and it is being regarded as a design to improve the economic and social life especially by extending
benefits of development to the poorest small farmers tenants and landless
Now rural development is not exclusively restricted to any single activity or area it travels many or all areas
which anyway affect upgrading enlisting and petrifying improvement of transformation in socio-economic lives of
rural 51 people Rural development means overall improvement of die quality of life for rural people It is about
reduction of poverty increasing productivity providing basic services like health education drinking water
sanitation extending infrastructure attempt to reverse distorted land distribution and ownership and host of other
aspects redressing inequality exploitation and deprivation in any conceivable sense Rural development as a concept
for planning and executing changes in rural areas is based on the assumption that production increases and social
improvements are not mutually exclusive but on the contrary are mutually strengthening The relation between the
two is complemented so heavily that development on one front cannot proceed beyond a point without a simultaneous
or prior change in the other Another trend in rural development is the special emphasis on the weaker sections of the
society ie the rural poor not merely for improving their level of living but also to bring about a greater degree of
their involvement in the development process Rural development is the ultimate analysis which involves the
provision of opportunities for optimum utilization of human resources in rural areas Human resource development in
its turn can take place only if there is adequate nutrition and working opportunities available for the rural masses

Cities are characterized by the rapid urban growth and regeneration process Consequently the land use and
land cover have been altered considerably which in lieu affected the urban environment Urban environment is a
complex entity and any sort of alteration in the urban environment makes the modern urban life unsustainable These
alterations in urban environment require changes both in lifestyle and infrastructure The expansion of Grey
infrastructure and shrinking vegetation cover have induced micro-climatic changes such as heat wave intensification
intensified urban heat island effect and winter warming effect in the study area The dominance of Grey infrastructure
means impermeable surface which affected local heat budget through increased land surface temperature Further less
vegetation cover failed to regulate temperature through cooling effect of evapo-transpiration The present research
study carries out the Geo-spatial analysis of land surface temperature and normalized difference vegetation index for
the period 1990-2015 in the study area The present research is an attempt to trace out reduction in cropland during the
period 1990-2015 in Delhi The satellite data used include Landsat- 45 (TM) Landsat -7 (ETM+) and Landsat ndash 8
(OLI) for three different time periods 1990 2000 and 2015 respectively Moreover suitable statistical techniques have
been used to conduct the present research study

there is a fluctuation in the land use pattern of the state It further analysed that the advent of modern means of
technology influenced the behaviour and thinking ability of farmers towards the use of land It is observed that
western part of the study region share the more land under the category of barren land culturable wasteland and
fallow land as compare to northern and eastern region throughout the study period It is also found that developed
irrigation facilities development of infrastructure etc are responsible for the modification in the physical
environment and this leads to change in the overall land use pattern The present study is based on secondary sources
of data Twenty years averages are drawn from 1970-71 to 2016-17 Simple statistical methods are used for deriving

In 1976 Prof Mohammed Yunus of Bangladesh started womenrsquos groups in Bangladesh and developed
thrift and savings among the poorest Self Help Group is a novel mechanism and the brainchild of Mohd Yunus a
Noble Prize Winner of 2006 in Bangladesh Now it has developed into a bank named Bangladesh Grameen Bank Its
report in February 1998 states that the bank has 1138 branches and covers 39572 villages It has 2367503 members of
which only 124571 are men With the success of BGB and similar organisations elsewhere the concept of Micro
credit has gained momentum in India Based on this success many Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) in our
country are involved in organising Self Help Groups and they serve as an agent between the bank and the poor Self
Help Groups play today a major role in poverty alleviation in rural India A growing number of poor people (mostly
women) in various parts of India are members of Self Help Groups and actively engage in savings and credit as well
as in other activities like income generation natural resources management literacy child care and nutrition etc The
Self Help Group system has proven to be very relevant and effective in offering women the possibility to break

Dr Ghanashyam Deka Assistant Professor Department of Geography Pachhunga University Mizoram
Tourism is considered as one of the largest service industry in the world In Indian economy tourism is
playing significant role to upgrade the development and raising the gross domestic product The tourism sector
becomes increasingly important in national development North-Eastern state are very fortunate and one of the most
potential region in India to attract tourists Uniqueness of the region physical and cultural diversities can attract huge
numbers of visitors and ultimately generate income from them Though this region is counted as one of the backward
regions it has potentialities for future development Tourism sector will be the suitable for that However this sector
necessitates formulation of sustainable tourism strategy so that it can be utilized as a tool for regional development
Being a hilly state Mizoram is always attracting tourists from different parts of the country The state has potential of
adventure and rural tourism Apart from that with its cultural and ethnic uniqueness the state can attract a lot of
tourists to each of the isolated village situated in the hilltop Already the state government declared tourism as an
industry under its development policies Festivals like Anthurium Chapchar Kut are now well know and attracting
few thousands of tourists every year Anthurium festival is becoming the good earning source for the villagers in

water no field of human activity is complete Today human is using water resources very badly for own benefit The
ground water decline continuously is a very thinking and understandable an issue There is not state government
responsible but local people also As like people blame on government the decline of ground water is result of
agriculture model and polices of government The ground water level of district Sangrur is continuously decline
Which is a very serious issue This issue can be seen in association with climate chance If this continues the day is

Yamuna Chambal badlands are located at margin of south-west Gangetic plain in India It is known for
horrible land degradation by water driven erosion The expansion of gully and ravine networks on arable land is
possessing serious socio-economic challenges to the society of this region In this study an estimation of soil erosion
has been made by using Morgan-Morgan Finney Model It has been found that the average annual soil loss rate is 760
tons hactaer2 year Due to undulating surface and high intensity of rainfall in a short spell of time transport capacity
of running water is too high in this region Although seasonal vegetation cover is a dominant protection from erosion
still erosive nature of soils and steep slope makes available big amount for erosion material here The model is used to
evaluate and identify the major zone of erosion Several schemes are applied to counter the land degradation process
here An evaluation of conservation and mitigation schemes has been done

Urban areas are suffering from excess hotness in summer mainly due to congested built-up structures The
problem became peculiar for cities located in hot arid conditions such as Hisar in Haryana (India) A continuous
surface of Land Surface Temperature (LST) can be extracted from Landsat thermal bands Similarly different band
combinations and ratios give a spatial pattern of land cover categories Spatiotemporal pattern of temperature in and
around the Hisar city was analyzed in the present study to assess the spatial variation in temperature in the area
Landsat TM images of May 2000 and 2016 were utilized to study the spatial-temporal thermal variations and their
relationships with land cover changes in Hisar city and surrounding area which experienced rapid urbanization in past
decades Land cover classifications were derived to quantify area-specific variations and brightness temperatures were
computed from the TM thermal data to express the urban thermal environment The spatial distributions of surface
temperature indicated that thermal variations had been largely broadened and showed good agreements with a change
in land use and land cover Temperature statistics of main land cover types indicated that built-up and bare land had
higher surface temperatures than natural land covers The findings indicated that the warming effect caused by
urbanization ie mainly where the natural landscape was replaced by urban areas

Over exploitation of available natural resources for meeting the growing demand for food fuel and fiber of an
ever-increasing population has led to serious environmental degradation Globally 19644x106 ha lands are affected
by human induced degradation Of this 1903x106 ha are subject to soil erosion by water 5483x106 ha to wind
erosion 2391x106 ha to chemical deterioration 682x106 ha to compaction and 105 x 10 ha to water logging
(UNEP 1993) Furthermore rapid industrialization coupled with the deforestation has led to building up of green

house gases in the atmosphere resulting in global warming Thus it is obvious that the environmental degradation
process unless detected early and action taken to arrest or mitigate may lead to further deterioration and may affect
sustainable development efforts which is key concern in Agenda 21 Sustainable development of natural resources
refers to maintaining a fragile balance between productivity functions and conservation practices through
identification and monitoring of problem areas and calls for optimal utilization of available natural resources based on
their potentials and limitations while maintaining a good harmony with the environment Information on the nature
extent spatial distribution along with the potentials and limitations of natural resources is a pre-requisite to achieve
the goals of sustainable development By virtue of providing synoptic view of fairly large area at a regular interval
spaceborne multispectral measurements hold great promise in generating reliable information on various natural
resources namely soils mineral surface and ground water forest cover marine resources in a timely and cost-
effective manner Geographic Information System (GIS) offers an ideal environment for integrating spatial and
attribute data on natural resources and environment and for subsequent generation of optimal land use plan on a
micro-watershed basis Furthermore Global Positioning System (GPS) enables making precise in situ measurements
on various terrain parameters which are used for both generating baseline as well as derivative information on natural
resources for various developmental activities Advancements in weather forecasting and tele-communication further
help in effective implementation of optimal land use plansaction plans An attempt has been made in this article to
provide an overview of the magnitude of the land degradation problem concepts of sustainable development based on
conservation of land and water resources and to identify sustainability indicators and to illustrate the role of remote

Teachers to remain relevant and effective need to use learning technologies to help students reach the world outside
the classroom Teachers now adhere to innovative practices in teaching- learning process and have changed their roles
into lsquofacilitatorsrsquo The role of teacher demands to promote more group tasks and stress- free learning environments
Social media is emerging in various forms to bring people together as communities It is not denied that there is also a
controversy on using new Social Media such as Face book whats up or Web Chat But in the present global scenario
when millions live and breathe on social media teachers are learning how to incorporate the medium into the
classroom successfully The social media tools help the language teachers to stay connected with their peers around
the world and stay updated about their fields Moreover these online buttons give the language teachers the chance to
help others in their fields find solutions to their problems and improve their teaching language careers This paper

Disasters are not random and do not occur by accident They are the convergence of hazards and vulnerable
conditions ie disasters take place when hazards meet vulnerable situations Natural hazards such as fires floods
earthquakes and drought are part of the natural cycles of the earth When such hazards impact on vulnerable societies-
whether it is an earthquake that collapses buildings or a drought that kills crops-that society may face a catastrophic
situation requiring emergency relief and assistance to save lives and to protect the environment Natural disasters can
have a life-altering impact on the individuals families and society and at the same time the effect of natural disasters
can be felt at the community city and state level or many times these may have an impact on entire country The
impact of disasters whether it is natural or man-made not only have human dimensions but environmental ones as
well Deforestation forest management practices agriculture systems etc can exacerbate the negative environmental

impacts of a storm leading to landslides flooding silting and groundsurface water contamination Disasters create
substantial environmental degradation and ecological imbalance hinder socio-economic development and retard the
process of improving the quality of the life of people The interaction of disasters and environment has both short-term
and long-term effects These interaction and interdependencies work in a complicated way and in turn affect people
ecosystem and bio-diversity Environmental vulnerability includes the extent of natural resource depletion reduced
access to clean air safe water sanitation and inappropriate forms of waste management especially in heavily
populated and urban environments that can aggravate socio economic vulnerability Poor environmental conditions
such as diminished biodiversity soil degradation or growing food scarcity can easily threaten food security for people
dependent on the products of land forests pastures and marine environment for their livelihoods Around the globe
land use and land cover changes are eroding the natural buffers that protect communities from hazard risk These same
changes often erode capacity of people to recover from disaster However there are several opportunities to reduce
disaster risk and enhance community resilience A comprehensive understanding of natural systems coupled with the
application of management tools such as environmental evaluation and risk assessment can make a major contribution
to the reduction of risks and mitigation of any impacts There is also a need to explore the link between environmental
systems amp disasters and also the synergies between man-made and natural disasters Changing ecological conditions
can provoke emergencies by placing concurrent stresses on the environment Mitigating the effects of disasters are
primary components in global efforts to ensure environmental security It is clear that further co-ordination and co-
operation on environmental matters depends on the ability of global community to set an environmental agenda for
disaster management and in particular to pay attention to the environmental conditions that lead to disasters and to
natural resource management for disaster prevention and reduction

Eco-friendly means not harmful to our system of environment ie not harmful to land air etc Presently due
to agriculture mainly a lot of pollutants are added day by day in our environment Because of these pollutants the soil
fertility is decreasing the fear of disease in living beings are increasing a lot of poisons chemicals and gases prevails
in the environment There is a great need to the use such a cropping system which is suitable to environment ie Eco-
friendly system of cropping The Eco-friendless of cropping system may be viewed from two different angles ie
systems which help in soil and water conservation and system which reduce the use of pesticides insecticides
herbicides organic fertilizers As far as the pesticides use is concerned at national level it is a still for below the
alarming proportions Inclusion of such crops in the cropping systems in problem areas can play a significant role in
minimizing the use of agro-chemicals in the crop production
In Haryana the use of fertilizer is increasing at a very high rate The use of fertilizers (N P K) has increased
1963 times in 2017-18 from 1970-71 The use of pesticides was also increased from 976 times in 2017-18 from
1970-71 ie from 013 tonne to 057 tonnes per hectare in 2017-18 from 1970-71 But the production of food-grain in
the year 2016-17 increases only 379 times of production in 1970-71 Similarly the average yield of important crops
in Haryana shows a little increase It may be concluded that the consumption of fertilizer and pesticides are increasing
at very high rate as compared to the production of the crops

Agriculture has an important role to play in the economic growth of an agrarian economy of IndiaWe can say
that it is backbone of our economyAgriculture contributes a large share of national income agriculture through the
provision of raw materialinfluences industrial structuretransport and other servicesAgriculture is most dominant and
important sector of Indian Economy that plays a vital role in the overall economic development of the countryThis
sector is heavily weather dependent world over more in the tropical monsoon type of climate Agriculture crops are
extremely susceptible to fluctuation in climate factors such as rainfall and temperature conditions specially there
seasonality and unpredictability Climate chage has significant effects on agriculture including changes in farm
productivity cropping pattern profitability price supply and tradeIntergovernmental panel on climate change (IPCC)

Earthquake is a tectonic event which is causedthrough the internal pressure released by the earth in the form
of seismic waves Earthquake reveals all other catastrophic events that pose threat to human life and property It is the
most hazardous phenomenon on the earth which has an impact on a very large area leading to deaths injuries and
other socio-economic and physical damage The influence of the earthquake depends mainly on its magnitude place
and time of occurrence Earthquakes can also create other hazards like volcanoes landslides and tsunamis
Approximately 30000 seismic tremors transpire each year in the world Out of these few earthquakes are of so low
magnitude that we cannot feel them while some are of high magnitude thereby causing lots of deaths and damages
The damage caused by the earthquakes depends on the three factors ie depth of the seismic focus the intensity of the
earthquake and itrsquos time of occurrenceNorthwestern Himalayan region lies in the subduction zone between the
Eurasian and Indian plate margins therefore it becomes more vulnerable to the earthquake hazard The region lies in
IV and V seismic zones which is very active In the present study an attempt has been made to analyze the spatial
pattern of earthquakes occurrence in northwest Himalayan region of India

Media and Environment
Sangeeta Mahana Research scholar Jayoti Vidyapeeth Womenrsquos University Jaipur
Mass media is one of the most important factors underlying the knowledge of environment problem This can
only be true on the condition that first mass media are accessible to large proportion of the population second are
spending some time on environment issues and third people are interested in information on ecological issues
provided by media so that they view or listen to the corresponding program as well as read newspaper articles or other
written publications dealing with environmental issues Television print news radio broadcast and the internet are
enlisted to help promote a ldquogreen ldquoethic and raise environmental awareness
Mass media play an important role for creating environment awareness among people These daysrsquo climate
change issues are getting the highest priority and making the headlines in print and electronic media Government and
the people depend on communication and mass Media not only for disseminating information but also in setting
agenda for the development and other allied activities
Media has the power of focusing the factor that causes environmental problems as well as adverse impacts on
people Media acts as a catalyst in enlightening the masses on issues related to climate change A section of the media
has drawn our attention on several environmental issues like Ganga River action plan chipko movement Narmada
Bachavo Andolan and Appiko movement were kept alive mainly by the coverage in various media
Media can play a great role in communication of the natural disaster of region media certain characteristics that make
them powerful instruments of disaster Communication as they provide quick and easy access to large numbers of
people located at different places It helps in highlighting the problem and difficulties faced by the people affected by
disaster
Through communication members of society share their experiences and knowledge understands each other
and generates collective wisdom Today various types of mass media enable people all over the world to interact and
learn from each other at a tremendous pace Communication with the help of mass media not only brings people but
also communities together Thus contracting the globe into the village The environment and media research
programs are made up of researchers from across film and screen studies media and communications and journalism

Application of Remote Sensing In Geography
Dr Pratap Singh Rajput Guest Lecturer Govt College Sarni Betul MP
Remote sensing in geology is remote sensing used in the geological sciences as a data acquisition method
complementary to field observation because it allows mapping of geological characteristics of regions without
physical contact with the areas being explored About one-fourth of the Earths total surface area is exposed land
where information is ready to be extracted from detailed earth observation via remote sensing Remote sensing is
conducted via detection of electromagnetic radiation by sensors The radiation can be naturally sourced (passive
remote sensing) or produced by machines (active remote sensing) and reflected off of the Earth surface The
electromagnetic radiation acts as an information carrier for two main variables First the intensities of reflectance at
different wavelengths are detected and plotted on a spectral reflectance curve This spectral fingerprint is governed by
the physio-chemical properties of the surface of the target object and therefore helps mineral identification and hence
geological mapping for example by hyper spectral Second the two-way travel time of radiation from and back to the
sensor can calculate the distance in active remote sensing systems for example Interferometric synthetic-aperture
radar This helps geomorphologic studies of ground motion and thus can illuminate deformations associated
with landslides earthquakes etc Remote sensing data can help studies involving geological mapping geological
hazards and economic geology (ie exploration for minerals petroleum etc) These geological studies commonly
employ a multitude of tools classified according to short to long wavelengths of the electromagnetic radiation which
various instruments are sensitive to Shorter wavelengths are generally useful for site characterization up to
mineralogical scale while longer wavelengths reveal larger scale surface information eg regional thermal anomalies
surface roughness etc Such techniques are particularly beneficial for exploration of inaccessible areas and planets
other than Earth

Environmental Impacts of Natural Disasters
Tek Chand Student of PU Patiala
It is recognized that many significant nonmarket effects result from natural disasters including environmental
impacts Though our committee had a keen interest in these topics it became clear that these impactsmdashthough often
significantmdashdid not fit easily with this studys main report and conclusions for the following reasons (1) not all
disasters result in significant ecosystem impacts (eg many earthquakes have but minor impacts on ecosystems) (2)
some extreme events have positive impacts on ecosystems (eg floods can help rejuvenate floodplain vegetation and
are important drivers of many ecological processes in floodplains) and (3) these impacts are mainly nonmarket and
are exceptionally difficult to quantify andor monetize Though there are emerging efforts in quantifying and
monetizing ecosystem services (Costanza 1997) they are in their infancy and are not yet widely accepted
Nonetheless the magnitude of the environmental impacts of many disasters compelled the committee to discuss them
and we do so in this Appendix Though no specific recommendations regarding how environmental costs should be
incorporated in loss estimates we provide here we encourage policymakers in the relevant executive branch agencies

to devote more attention and perhaps research to these issues It is important in assessing environmental impacts to
distinguish between impacts of disasters on the natural environment from those on the human-made landscape
environment As mentioned events that societies label as natural disasters may also have beneficial ecological
consequences However these benefits tend to only manifest themselves months or years after an extreme event (eg
rejuvenation of a coniferous forest months andor years after fires) or are often not readily apparent (eg recharging
of groundwater stocks after a flood) These benefits to ecological systems are of course typically overshadowed by
immediate negative impacts on societies and structures hence the use of the term natural disasters

Geographic Information System (GIS) is considered as ldquoautomated systems used for capturing store retrieve
analyze and to display spatial datardquo (Clarke etal 1996) This tool is helpful in analyzing relationships between
location environment and incidences When looking into applicability of GIS both water-borne diseases and vector-
borne diseases are widely investigated topics at global level In the present scenario GIS has an ability to identify
location of specific diseases and their spatial unusual aggregation which can help different health agencies so that they
can provide facilities and prevent further growth of incidents1
The health geography is concerned with two fundamental questions that are revolves around (i) when and
where specific disease tend to occur and why specific pattern of incidence do occur In these directions substantial
growth has been found during the last decade whereas concept of ldquoplacerdquo plays a very significant role in determining
health of people It is regarded as new perspective to look into how ldquohealthrdquo of people is influence from ldquospacerdquo
(Kwan 2012) In the recent period due to development of modern tools such as Geographic Information System
(GIS) which makes it easier to conduct spatial analysis and modeling at different levels Now with these tools modern
epidemiologist and geographers can do analysis of health both spatially and temporally (Cromley and McLafferty
2011)
Water borne diseases are considered as diseases those emerge due to consumption and ingestion of
contaminated water that may contain pathogenic viruses bacteria protozoa and other chemical substances (UNO
Health Report 2003) These pathogens are transmitted into human body through using contaminated water when
utilize for domestic purposes that may responsible for viral bacteria and parasite related diseases A report by World
Health Organization (2016) on ldquoThe situation of water-related infectious diseases in the pan-European regionrdquo define
water related diseases asany substantial effect on human health such as illness disability disorders and sometime
death due to direct or indirect alteration in the quantity or quality of water2

Urban Solid Waste Management (USWM) is most problematic and neglected aspect of Indian Cities The
high population growth and industrialization put strain on the basic infrastructural and municipal services The
Government local self governments make their best efforts to provide all basic amenities and services for meet the
demand of poses challenge before the administration for managing the huge quantity of waste generated by this large
size of population The solid waste generation is a continually growing problem at global regional and local levels
The solid waste is those organic and inorganic waste materials which are produced by various activities of the society
As a result there is considerable increase in MSW (municipal solid waste) generation in India during last few decades
In urban areas particularly in highly urbanized areas of the developing world problems and issues of municipal solid
waste management (MSWM) deserve immediate attention The present study aims at providing an overview of the
existing solid waste management practices in Chandigarh a top tier II city in India and suggests solutions to some of
the major problems being faced by the existing system An average of 400-500 tonsday of solid waste is generated in
Chandigarh municipal corporation area Chandigarh is the first city in India developed in a planned manner which has
helped in developing a comparatively better solid waste management in comparison to other Indian cities The present
study focus on existing waste management practices and it will recommend some suggestions for better management

Rural Development
Ms Priyanka Saini Jayoti Vidyapeeth Womenrsquos University Jaipur
Rural development can be defined as ldquoan integrated development of the area and the people through optimum
development and utilization of local resources-physical biological and human and by bringing about necessary
institutional structural and attitudinal changes of rural publicrdquoRural development means noticeable changes in all
these components But such changes should take place in a mutually supporting relationship so as to generate organic
and optimum development Organic development is one which maintains a healthy relationship among the various
elements or components of a system The concept of rural development was born in the context of agriculture and for
a long time it encompassed agricultural development Since 1970rsquos the concept has become more definite in its
interpretation and it is being regarded as a design to improve the economic and social life especially by extending
benefits of development to the poorest small farmers tenants and landless
Now rural development is not exclusively restricted to any single activity or area it travels many or all areas
which anyway affect upgrading enlisting and petrifying improvement of transformation in socio-economic lives of
rural 51 people Rural development means overall improvement of die quality of life for rural people It is about
reduction of poverty increasing productivity providing basic services like health education drinking water
sanitation extending infrastructure attempt to reverse distorted land distribution and ownership and host of other
aspects redressing inequality exploitation and deprivation in any conceivable sense Rural development as a concept
for planning and executing changes in rural areas is based on the assumption that production increases and social
improvements are not mutually exclusive but on the contrary are mutually strengthening The relation between the
two is complemented so heavily that development on one front cannot proceed beyond a point without a simultaneous
or prior change in the other Another trend in rural development is the special emphasis on the weaker sections of the
society ie the rural poor not merely for improving their level of living but also to bring about a greater degree of
their involvement in the development process Rural development is the ultimate analysis which involves the
provision of opportunities for optimum utilization of human resources in rural areas Human resource development in
its turn can take place only if there is adequate nutrition and working opportunities available for the rural masses

Cities are characterized by the rapid urban growth and regeneration process Consequently the land use and
land cover have been altered considerably which in lieu affected the urban environment Urban environment is a
complex entity and any sort of alteration in the urban environment makes the modern urban life unsustainable These
alterations in urban environment require changes both in lifestyle and infrastructure The expansion of Grey
infrastructure and shrinking vegetation cover have induced micro-climatic changes such as heat wave intensification
intensified urban heat island effect and winter warming effect in the study area The dominance of Grey infrastructure
means impermeable surface which affected local heat budget through increased land surface temperature Further less
vegetation cover failed to regulate temperature through cooling effect of evapo-transpiration The present research
study carries out the Geo-spatial analysis of land surface temperature and normalized difference vegetation index for
the period 1990-2015 in the study area The present research is an attempt to trace out reduction in cropland during the
period 1990-2015 in Delhi The satellite data used include Landsat- 45 (TM) Landsat -7 (ETM+) and Landsat ndash 8
(OLI) for three different time periods 1990 2000 and 2015 respectively Moreover suitable statistical techniques have
been used to conduct the present research study

there is a fluctuation in the land use pattern of the state It further analysed that the advent of modern means of
technology influenced the behaviour and thinking ability of farmers towards the use of land It is observed that
western part of the study region share the more land under the category of barren land culturable wasteland and
fallow land as compare to northern and eastern region throughout the study period It is also found that developed
irrigation facilities development of infrastructure etc are responsible for the modification in the physical
environment and this leads to change in the overall land use pattern The present study is based on secondary sources
of data Twenty years averages are drawn from 1970-71 to 2016-17 Simple statistical methods are used for deriving

Flood as disaster results in large scale loss of life and property in the Kosi-Mahananda Doab region of Bihar
Though frequent flood events in Kosi-river have made it lsquoSorrow of Biharrsquo but administrative machinery worked
inefficiently and proved failure in mitigation of flood as disaster in the study area The poor implementation of
management policy poor involvement of local bodies and community-based organizations (CBOs) and weak
participation of local government and unsustainable and uneconomic mobilization of resource are major key issues
resulting in improper and inefficient management plan to mitigate flood as disaster Administrative machinery and
prevailing red tapism results in discrimination in survey delay in relief poor monitoring and evaluation poor
representation lackadaisical attitude of concerned departments The present research article investigates various
factors responsible for administrative crisis and inefficient disaster management plan related to floods in Kosi-

In 1976 Prof Mohammed Yunus of Bangladesh started womenrsquos groups in Bangladesh and developed
thrift and savings among the poorest Self Help Group is a novel mechanism and the brainchild of Mohd Yunus a
Noble Prize Winner of 2006 in Bangladesh Now it has developed into a bank named Bangladesh Grameen Bank Its
report in February 1998 states that the bank has 1138 branches and covers 39572 villages It has 2367503 members of
which only 124571 are men With the success of BGB and similar organisations elsewhere the concept of Micro
credit has gained momentum in India Based on this success many Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) in our
country are involved in organising Self Help Groups and they serve as an agent between the bank and the poor Self
Help Groups play today a major role in poverty alleviation in rural India A growing number of poor people (mostly
women) in various parts of India are members of Self Help Groups and actively engage in savings and credit as well
as in other activities like income generation natural resources management literacy child care and nutrition etc The
Self Help Group system has proven to be very relevant and effective in offering women the possibility to break

Dr Ghanashyam Deka Assistant Professor Department of Geography Pachhunga University Mizoram
Tourism is considered as one of the largest service industry in the world In Indian economy tourism is
playing significant role to upgrade the development and raising the gross domestic product The tourism sector
becomes increasingly important in national development North-Eastern state are very fortunate and one of the most
potential region in India to attract tourists Uniqueness of the region physical and cultural diversities can attract huge
numbers of visitors and ultimately generate income from them Though this region is counted as one of the backward
regions it has potentialities for future development Tourism sector will be the suitable for that However this sector
necessitates formulation of sustainable tourism strategy so that it can be utilized as a tool for regional development
Being a hilly state Mizoram is always attracting tourists from different parts of the country The state has potential of
adventure and rural tourism Apart from that with its cultural and ethnic uniqueness the state can attract a lot of
tourists to each of the isolated village situated in the hilltop Already the state government declared tourism as an
industry under its development policies Festivals like Anthurium Chapchar Kut are now well know and attracting
few thousands of tourists every year Anthurium festival is becoming the good earning source for the villagers in

water no field of human activity is complete Today human is using water resources very badly for own benefit The
ground water decline continuously is a very thinking and understandable an issue There is not state government
responsible but local people also As like people blame on government the decline of ground water is result of
agriculture model and polices of government The ground water level of district Sangrur is continuously decline
Which is a very serious issue This issue can be seen in association with climate chance If this continues the day is

Soil Erosion Modelling Using MMF Model amp Degradation Mitigation Strategy for Rural Development of
Badlands Area of Etawah UP
Hemant Kumar Assistant Professor Department of Geography RPS Degree College Mahendergarh Haryana
Yamuna Chambal badlands are located at margin of south-west Gangetic plain in India It is known for
horrible land degradation by water driven erosion The expansion of gully and ravine networks on arable land is
possessing serious socio-economic challenges to the society of this region In this study an estimation of soil erosion
has been made by using Morgan-Morgan Finney Model It has been found that the average annual soil loss rate is 760
tons hactaer2 year Due to undulating surface and high intensity of rainfall in a short spell of time transport capacity
of running water is too high in this region Although seasonal vegetation cover is a dominant protection from erosion
still erosive nature of soils and steep slope makes available big amount for erosion material here The model is used to
evaluate and identify the major zone of erosion Several schemes are applied to counter the land degradation process
here An evaluation of conservation and mitigation schemes has been done

Urban areas are suffering from excess hotness in summer mainly due to congested built-up structures The
problem became peculiar for cities located in hot arid conditions such as Hisar in Haryana (India) A continuous
surface of Land Surface Temperature (LST) can be extracted from Landsat thermal bands Similarly different band
combinations and ratios give a spatial pattern of land cover categories Spatiotemporal pattern of temperature in and
around the Hisar city was analyzed in the present study to assess the spatial variation in temperature in the area
Landsat TM images of May 2000 and 2016 were utilized to study the spatial-temporal thermal variations and their
relationships with land cover changes in Hisar city and surrounding area which experienced rapid urbanization in past
decades Land cover classifications were derived to quantify area-specific variations and brightness temperatures were
computed from the TM thermal data to express the urban thermal environment The spatial distributions of surface
temperature indicated that thermal variations had been largely broadened and showed good agreements with a change
in land use and land cover Temperature statistics of main land cover types indicated that built-up and bare land had
higher surface temperatures than natural land covers The findings indicated that the warming effect caused by
urbanization ie mainly where the natural landscape was replaced by urban areas

Dr KR Koshe Asst Professor Dept Of Geography Govt MGM PG College Itarsi (MP)
Over exploitation of available natural resources for meeting the growing demand for food fuel and fiber of an
ever-increasing population has led to serious environmental degradation Globally 19644x106 ha lands are affected
by human induced degradation Of this 1903x106 ha are subject to soil erosion by water 5483x106 ha to wind
erosion 2391x106 ha to chemical deterioration 682x106 ha to compaction and 105 x 10 ha to water logging

house gases in the atmosphere resulting in global warming Thus it is obvious that the environmental degradation
process unless detected early and action taken to arrest or mitigate may lead to further deterioration and may affect
sustainable development efforts which is key concern in Agenda 21 Sustainable development of natural resources
refers to maintaining a fragile balance between productivity functions and conservation practices through
identification and monitoring of problem areas and calls for optimal utilization of available natural resources based on
their potentials and limitations while maintaining a good harmony with the environment Information on the nature
extent spatial distribution along with the potentials and limitations of natural resources is a pre-requisite to achieve
the goals of sustainable development By virtue of providing synoptic view of fairly large area at a regular interval
spaceborne multispectral measurements hold great promise in generating reliable information on various natural
resources namely soils mineral surface and ground water forest cover marine resources in a timely and cost-
effective manner Geographic Information System (GIS) offers an ideal environment for integrating spatial and
attribute data on natural resources and environment and for subsequent generation of optimal land use plan on a
micro-watershed basis Furthermore Global Positioning System (GPS) enables making precise in situ measurements
on various terrain parameters which are used for both generating baseline as well as derivative information on natural
resources for various developmental activities Advancements in weather forecasting and tele-communication further
help in effective implementation of optimal land use plansaction plans An attempt has been made in this article to
provide an overview of the magnitude of the land degradation problem concepts of sustainable development based on

Internet has affected the preferred learning styles of young people wanting to learn English around the world
Teachers to remain relevant and effective need to use learning technologies to help students reach the world outside
the classroom Teachers now adhere to innovative practices in teaching- learning process and have changed their roles
into lsquofacilitatorsrsquo The role of teacher demands to promote more group tasks and stress- free learning environments
Social media is emerging in various forms to bring people together as communities It is not denied that there is also a
controversy on using new Social Media such as Face book whats up or Web Chat But in the present global scenario
when millions live and breathe on social media teachers are learning how to incorporate the medium into the
classroom successfully The social media tools help the language teachers to stay connected with their peers around
the world and stay updated about their fields Moreover these online buttons give the language teachers the chance to
help others in their fields find solutions to their problems and improve their teaching language careers This paper

Disasters are not random and do not occur by accident They are the convergence of hazards and vulnerable
conditions ie disasters take place when hazards meet vulnerable situations Natural hazards such as fires floods
earthquakes and drought are part of the natural cycles of the earth When such hazards impact on vulnerable societies-
whether it is an earthquake that collapses buildings or a drought that kills crops-that society may face a catastrophic
situation requiring emergency relief and assistance to save lives and to protect the environment Natural disasters can
have a life-altering impact on the individuals families and society and at the same time the effect of natural disasters
can be felt at the community city and state level or many times these may have an impact on entire country The
impact of disasters whether it is natural or man-made not only have human dimensions but environmental ones as
well Deforestation forest management practices agriculture systems etc can exacerbate the negative environmental

impacts of a storm leading to landslides flooding silting and groundsurface water contamination Disasters create
substantial environmental degradation and ecological imbalance hinder socio-economic development and retard the
process of improving the quality of the life of people The interaction of disasters and environment has both short-term
and long-term effects These interaction and interdependencies work in a complicated way and in turn affect people
ecosystem and bio-diversity Environmental vulnerability includes the extent of natural resource depletion reduced
access to clean air safe water sanitation and inappropriate forms of waste management especially in heavily
populated and urban environments that can aggravate socio economic vulnerability Poor environmental conditions
such as diminished biodiversity soil degradation or growing food scarcity can easily threaten food security for people
dependent on the products of land forests pastures and marine environment for their livelihoods Around the globe
land use and land cover changes are eroding the natural buffers that protect communities from hazard risk These same
changes often erode capacity of people to recover from disaster However there are several opportunities to reduce
disaster risk and enhance community resilience A comprehensive understanding of natural systems coupled with the
application of management tools such as environmental evaluation and risk assessment can make a major contribution
to the reduction of risks and mitigation of any impacts There is also a need to explore the link between environmental
systems amp disasters and also the synergies between man-made and natural disasters Changing ecological conditions
can provoke emergencies by placing concurrent stresses on the environment Mitigating the effects of disasters are
primary components in global efforts to ensure environmental security It is clear that further co-ordination and co-
operation on environmental matters depends on the ability of global community to set an environmental agenda for
disaster management and in particular to pay attention to the environmental conditions that lead to disasters and to
natural resource management for disaster prevention and reduction

Eco-friendly means not harmful to our system of environment ie not harmful to land air etc Presently due
to agriculture mainly a lot of pollutants are added day by day in our environment Because of these pollutants the soil
fertility is decreasing the fear of disease in living beings are increasing a lot of poisons chemicals and gases prevails
in the environment There is a great need to the use such a cropping system which is suitable to environment ie Eco-
friendly system of cropping The Eco-friendless of cropping system may be viewed from two different angles ie
systems which help in soil and water conservation and system which reduce the use of pesticides insecticides
herbicides organic fertilizers As far as the pesticides use is concerned at national level it is a still for below the
alarming proportions Inclusion of such crops in the cropping systems in problem areas can play a significant role in
minimizing the use of agro-chemicals in the crop production
In Haryana the use of fertilizer is increasing at a very high rate The use of fertilizers (N P K) has increased
1963 times in 2017-18 from 1970-71 The use of pesticides was also increased from 976 times in 2017-18 from
1970-71 ie from 013 tonne to 057 tonnes per hectare in 2017-18 from 1970-71 But the production of food-grain in
the year 2016-17 increases only 379 times of production in 1970-71 Similarly the average yield of important crops
in Haryana shows a little increase It may be concluded that the consumption of fertilizer and pesticides are increasing
at very high rate as compared to the production of the crops

Earthquake is a tectonic event which is causedthrough the internal pressure released by the earth in the form
of seismic waves Earthquake reveals all other catastrophic events that pose threat to human life and property It is the
most hazardous phenomenon on the earth which has an impact on a very large area leading to deaths injuries and
other socio-economic and physical damage The influence of the earthquake depends mainly on its magnitude place
and time of occurrence Earthquakes can also create other hazards like volcanoes landslides and tsunamis
Approximately 30000 seismic tremors transpire each year in the world Out of these few earthquakes are of so low
magnitude that we cannot feel them while some are of high magnitude thereby causing lots of deaths and damages
The damage caused by the earthquakes depends on the three factors ie depth of the seismic focus the intensity of the
earthquake and itrsquos time of occurrenceNorthwestern Himalayan region lies in the subduction zone between the
Eurasian and Indian plate margins therefore it becomes more vulnerable to the earthquake hazard The region lies in
IV and V seismic zones which is very active In the present study an attempt has been made to analyze the spatial
pattern of earthquakes occurrence in northwest Himalayan region of India

Mass media is one of the most important factors underlying the knowledge of environment problem This can
only be true on the condition that first mass media are accessible to large proportion of the population second are
spending some time on environment issues and third people are interested in information on ecological issues
provided by media so that they view or listen to the corresponding program as well as read newspaper articles or other
written publications dealing with environmental issues Television print news radio broadcast and the internet are
enlisted to help promote a ldquogreen ldquoethic and raise environmental awareness
Mass media play an important role for creating environment awareness among people These daysrsquo climate
change issues are getting the highest priority and making the headlines in print and electronic media Government and
the people depend on communication and mass Media not only for disseminating information but also in setting
agenda for the development and other allied activities
Media has the power of focusing the factor that causes environmental problems as well as adverse impacts on
people Media acts as a catalyst in enlightening the masses on issues related to climate change A section of the media
has drawn our attention on several environmental issues like Ganga River action plan chipko movement Narmada
Bachavo Andolan and Appiko movement were kept alive mainly by the coverage in various media
Media can play a great role in communication of the natural disaster of region media certain characteristics that make
them powerful instruments of disaster Communication as they provide quick and easy access to large numbers of
people located at different places It helps in highlighting the problem and difficulties faced by the people affected by
disaster
Through communication members of society share their experiences and knowledge understands each other
and generates collective wisdom Today various types of mass media enable people all over the world to interact and
learn from each other at a tremendous pace Communication with the help of mass media not only brings people but
also communities together Thus contracting the globe into the village The environment and media research

Application of Remote Sensing In Geography
Dr Pratap Singh Rajput Guest Lecturer Govt College Sarni Betul MP
Remote sensing in geology is remote sensing used in the geological sciences as a data acquisition method
complementary to field observation because it allows mapping of geological characteristics of regions without
physical contact with the areas being explored About one-fourth of the Earths total surface area is exposed land
where information is ready to be extracted from detailed earth observation via remote sensing Remote sensing is
conducted via detection of electromagnetic radiation by sensors The radiation can be naturally sourced (passive
remote sensing) or produced by machines (active remote sensing) and reflected off of the Earth surface The
electromagnetic radiation acts as an information carrier for two main variables First the intensities of reflectance at
different wavelengths are detected and plotted on a spectral reflectance curve This spectral fingerprint is governed by
the physio-chemical properties of the surface of the target object and therefore helps mineral identification and hence
geological mapping for example by hyper spectral Second the two-way travel time of radiation from and back to the
sensor can calculate the distance in active remote sensing systems for example Interferometric synthetic-aperture
radar This helps geomorphologic studies of ground motion and thus can illuminate deformations associated
with landslides earthquakes etc Remote sensing data can help studies involving geological mapping geological
hazards and economic geology (ie exploration for minerals petroleum etc) These geological studies commonly
employ a multitude of tools classified according to short to long wavelengths of the electromagnetic radiation which
various instruments are sensitive to Shorter wavelengths are generally useful for site characterization up to
mineralogical scale while longer wavelengths reveal larger scale surface information eg regional thermal anomalies
surface roughness etc Such techniques are particularly beneficial for exploration of inaccessible areas and planets
other than Earth

Environmental Impacts of Natural Disasters
Tek Chand Student of PU Patiala
It is recognized that many significant nonmarket effects result from natural disasters including environmental
impacts Though our committee had a keen interest in these topics it became clear that these impactsmdashthough often
significantmdashdid not fit easily with this studys main report and conclusions for the following reasons (1) not all
disasters result in significant ecosystem impacts (eg many earthquakes have but minor impacts on ecosystems) (2)
some extreme events have positive impacts on ecosystems (eg floods can help rejuvenate floodplain vegetation and
are important drivers of many ecological processes in floodplains) and (3) these impacts are mainly nonmarket and
are exceptionally difficult to quantify andor monetize Though there are emerging efforts in quantifying and
monetizing ecosystem services (Costanza 1997) they are in their infancy and are not yet widely accepted
Nonetheless the magnitude of the environmental impacts of many disasters compelled the committee to discuss them
and we do so in this Appendix Though no specific recommendations regarding how environmental costs should be
incorporated in loss estimates we provide here we encourage policymakers in the relevant executive branch agencies

to devote more attention and perhaps research to these issues It is important in assessing environmental impacts to
distinguish between impacts of disasters on the natural environment from those on the human-made landscape
environment As mentioned events that societies label as natural disasters may also have beneficial ecological
consequences However these benefits tend to only manifest themselves months or years after an extreme event (eg
rejuvenation of a coniferous forest months andor years after fires) or are often not readily apparent (eg recharging
of groundwater stocks after a flood) These benefits to ecological systems are of course typically overshadowed by
immediate negative impacts on societies and structures hence the use of the term natural disasters

Geographic Information System (GIS) is considered as ldquoautomated systems used for capturing store retrieve
analyze and to display spatial datardquo (Clarke etal 1996) This tool is helpful in analyzing relationships between
location environment and incidences When looking into applicability of GIS both water-borne diseases and vector-
borne diseases are widely investigated topics at global level In the present scenario GIS has an ability to identify
location of specific diseases and their spatial unusual aggregation which can help different health agencies so that they
can provide facilities and prevent further growth of incidents1
The health geography is concerned with two fundamental questions that are revolves around (i) when and
where specific disease tend to occur and why specific pattern of incidence do occur In these directions substantial
growth has been found during the last decade whereas concept of ldquoplacerdquo plays a very significant role in determining
health of people It is regarded as new perspective to look into how ldquohealthrdquo of people is influence from ldquospacerdquo
(Kwan 2012) In the recent period due to development of modern tools such as Geographic Information System
(GIS) which makes it easier to conduct spatial analysis and modeling at different levels Now with these tools modern
epidemiologist and geographers can do analysis of health both spatially and temporally (Cromley and McLafferty
2011)
Water borne diseases are considered as diseases those emerge due to consumption and ingestion of

Urban Solid Waste Management (USWM) is most problematic and neglected aspect of Indian Cities The
high population growth and industrialization put strain on the basic infrastructural and municipal services The
Government local self governments make their best efforts to provide all basic amenities and services for meet the
demand of poses challenge before the administration for managing the huge quantity of waste generated by this large
size of population The solid waste generation is a continually growing problem at global regional and local levels
The solid waste is those organic and inorganic waste materials which are produced by various activities of the society
As a result there is considerable increase in MSW (municipal solid waste) generation in India during last few decades
In urban areas particularly in highly urbanized areas of the developing world problems and issues of municipal solid
waste management (MSWM) deserve immediate attention The present study aims at providing an overview of the
existing solid waste management practices in Chandigarh a top tier II city in India and suggests solutions to some of
the major problems being faced by the existing system An average of 400-500 tonsday of solid waste is generated in
Chandigarh municipal corporation area Chandigarh is the first city in India developed in a planned manner which has
helped in developing a comparatively better solid waste management in comparison to other Indian cities The present
study focus on existing waste management practices and it will recommend some suggestions for better management

Rural Development
Ms Priyanka Saini Jayoti Vidyapeeth Womenrsquos University Jaipur
Rural development can be defined as ldquoan integrated development of the area and the people through optimum
development and utilization of local resources-physical biological and human and by bringing about necessary
institutional structural and attitudinal changes of rural publicrdquoRural development means noticeable changes in all
these components But such changes should take place in a mutually supporting relationship so as to generate organic
and optimum development Organic development is one which maintains a healthy relationship among the various
elements or components of a system The concept of rural development was born in the context of agriculture and for
a long time it encompassed agricultural development Since 1970rsquos the concept has become more definite in its
interpretation and it is being regarded as a design to improve the economic and social life especially by extending
benefits of development to the poorest small farmers tenants and landless
Now rural development is not exclusively restricted to any single activity or area it travels many or all areas
which anyway affect upgrading enlisting and petrifying improvement of transformation in socio-economic lives of
rural 51 people Rural development means overall improvement of die quality of life for rural people It is about
reduction of poverty increasing productivity providing basic services like health education drinking water
sanitation extending infrastructure attempt to reverse distorted land distribution and ownership and host of other
aspects redressing inequality exploitation and deprivation in any conceivable sense Rural development as a concept
for planning and executing changes in rural areas is based on the assumption that production increases and social
improvements are not mutually exclusive but on the contrary are mutually strengthening The relation between the
two is complemented so heavily that development on one front cannot proceed beyond a point without a simultaneous
or prior change in the other Another trend in rural development is the special emphasis on the weaker sections of the
society ie the rural poor not merely for improving their level of living but also to bring about a greater degree of
their involvement in the development process Rural development is the ultimate analysis which involves the
provision of opportunities for optimum utilization of human resources in rural areas Human resource development in
its turn can take place only if there is adequate nutrition and working opportunities available for the rural masses

Dr Sandesh Yadav Freelance Researcher and Alumni Dept of Geography Jamia Millia Islamia New Delhi
Cities are characterized by the rapid urban growth and regeneration process Consequently the land use and
land cover have been altered considerably which in lieu affected the urban environment Urban environment is a
complex entity and any sort of alteration in the urban environment makes the modern urban life unsustainable These
alterations in urban environment require changes both in lifestyle and infrastructure The expansion of Grey
infrastructure and shrinking vegetation cover have induced micro-climatic changes such as heat wave intensification
intensified urban heat island effect and winter warming effect in the study area The dominance of Grey infrastructure
means impermeable surface which affected local heat budget through increased land surface temperature Further less
vegetation cover failed to regulate temperature through cooling effect of evapo-transpiration The present research
study carries out the Geo-spatial analysis of land surface temperature and normalized difference vegetation index for
the period 1990-2015 in the study area The present research is an attempt to trace out reduction in cropland during the
period 1990-2015 in Delhi The satellite data used include Landsat- 45 (TM) Landsat -7 (ETM+) and Landsat ndash 8
(OLI) for three different time periods 1990 2000 and 2015 respectively Moreover suitable statistical techniques have
been used to conduct the present research study

Climate Change and its present day scenario
Rajwinder Singh Assistant Professor Isharjyot Degree College Pehowa
Climate change is an ever going process of nature nothing remained stable in the history of the earth weather
it is its landforms oceans and nor does its climate remained stable at all the time Today the major concern is about
the climate change that we are facing the rate of change has been accelerated in the past few decades Today
Anthropogenic factors are the biggest contributors for the emission of greenhouse gases globally July 2019 was the
hottest month ever recorded on the earth which clearly indicates how worse the situation is This changing scenario
will have its adverse effect For example the rate of forest fires will increase availability and quality of water will also
deteriorate in future On the whole climate change will have an adverse effect on every sphere of life like Agriculture

Air Pollution By Stubble Burning and Its Impact
Basant Singh
The paper presents the major environment issue regarding air pollution due to stubble burning in Haryana
Haryana lies in indo Gangetic plain The fertile land is good for extensive farming In Haryana paddy and wheat
production is higher than other farming These farming generate a huge amount of agricultural wastes in the form of
stubble The farmer is using fire to remove the stubble Burning of stubble released various Gaseous in the atmosphere
such as Carbon dioxside (co2) carbon monoxide(co)Methane (CH4) Nitrogen oxide(No) and sulphur oxside (sox) as
well as huge quantity of particulate Matter (PM10) and 25 microns or less (PM25) These gaseous causing negative
impact on human health and Global warming The management of crop residue is much important to reduce air
pollution The government takes action to solve the problem of stubble burning or make policies

there is a fluctuation in the land use pattern of the state It further analysed that the advent of modern means of
technology influenced the behaviour and thinking ability of farmers towards the use of land It is observed that
western part of the study region share the more land under the category of barren land culturable wasteland and
fallow land as compare to northern and eastern region throughout the study period It is also found that developed
irrigation facilities development of infrastructure etc are responsible for the modification in the physical
environment and this leads to change in the overall land use pattern The present study is based on secondary sources
of data Twenty years averages are drawn from 1970-71 to 2016-17 Simple statistical methods are used for deriving

thrift and savings among the poorest Self Help Group is a novel mechanism and the brainchild of Mohd Yunus a
Noble Prize Winner of 2006 in Bangladesh Now it has developed into a bank named Bangladesh Grameen Bank Its
report in February 1998 states that the bank has 1138 branches and covers 39572 villages It has 2367503 members of
which only 124571 are men With the success of BGB and similar organisations elsewhere the concept of Micro
credit has gained momentum in India Based on this success many Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) in our
country are involved in organising Self Help Groups and they serve as an agent between the bank and the poor Self
Help Groups play today a major role in poverty alleviation in rural India A growing number of poor people (mostly
women) in various parts of India are members of Self Help Groups and actively engage in savings and credit as well
as in other activities like income generation natural resources management literacy child care and nutrition etc The
Self Help Group system has proven to be very relevant and effective in offering women the possibility to break

Tourism is considered as one of the largest service industry in the world In Indian economy tourism is
playing significant role to upgrade the development and raising the gross domestic product The tourism sector
becomes increasingly important in national development North-Eastern state are very fortunate and one of the most
potential region in India to attract tourists Uniqueness of the region physical and cultural diversities can attract huge
numbers of visitors and ultimately generate income from them Though this region is counted as one of the backward
regions it has potentialities for future development Tourism sector will be the suitable for that However this sector
necessitates formulation of sustainable tourism strategy so that it can be utilized as a tool for regional development
Being a hilly state Mizoram is always attracting tourists from different parts of the country The state has potential of
adventure and rural tourism Apart from that with its cultural and ethnic uniqueness the state can attract a lot of
tourists to each of the isolated village situated in the hilltop Already the state government declared tourism as an
industry under its development policies Festivals like Anthurium Chapchar Kut are now well know and attracting
few thousands of tourists every year Anthurium festival is becoming the good earning source for the villagers in

Yamuna Chambal badlands are located at margin of south-west Gangetic plain in India It is known for
horrible land degradation by water driven erosion The expansion of gully and ravine networks on arable land is
possessing serious socio-economic challenges to the society of this region In this study an estimation of soil erosion
has been made by using Morgan-Morgan Finney Model It has been found that the average annual soil loss rate is 760
tons hactaer2 year Due to undulating surface and high intensity of rainfall in a short spell of time transport capacity
of running water is too high in this region Although seasonal vegetation cover is a dominant protection from erosion
still erosive nature of soils and steep slope makes available big amount for erosion material here The model is used to
evaluate and identify the major zone of erosion Several schemes are applied to counter the land degradation process
here An evaluation of conservation and mitigation schemes has been done

Urban areas are suffering from excess hotness in summer mainly due to congested built-up structures The
problem became peculiar for cities located in hot arid conditions such as Hisar in Haryana (India) A continuous
surface of Land Surface Temperature (LST) can be extracted from Landsat thermal bands Similarly different band
combinations and ratios give a spatial pattern of land cover categories Spatiotemporal pattern of temperature in and
around the Hisar city was analyzed in the present study to assess the spatial variation in temperature in the area
Landsat TM images of May 2000 and 2016 were utilized to study the spatial-temporal thermal variations and their
relationships with land cover changes in Hisar city and surrounding area which experienced rapid urbanization in past
decades Land cover classifications were derived to quantify area-specific variations and brightness temperatures were
computed from the TM thermal data to express the urban thermal environment The spatial distributions of surface
temperature indicated that thermal variations had been largely broadened and showed good agreements with a change
in land use and land cover Temperature statistics of main land cover types indicated that built-up and bare land had
higher surface temperatures than natural land covers The findings indicated that the warming effect caused by
urbanization ie mainly where the natural landscape was replaced by urban areas

Over exploitation of available natural resources for meeting the growing demand for food fuel and fiber of an
ever-increasing population has led to serious environmental degradation Globally 19644x106 ha lands are affected
by human induced degradation Of this 1903x106 ha are subject to soil erosion by water 5483x106 ha to wind
erosion 2391x106 ha to chemical deterioration 682x106 ha to compaction and 105 x 10 ha to water logging

house gases in the atmosphere resulting in global warming Thus it is obvious that the environmental degradation
process unless detected early and action taken to arrest or mitigate may lead to further deterioration and may affect
sustainable development efforts which is key concern in Agenda 21 Sustainable development of natural resources
refers to maintaining a fragile balance between productivity functions and conservation practices through
identification and monitoring of problem areas and calls for optimal utilization of available natural resources based on
their potentials and limitations while maintaining a good harmony with the environment Information on the nature
extent spatial distribution along with the potentials and limitations of natural resources is a pre-requisite to achieve
the goals of sustainable development By virtue of providing synoptic view of fairly large area at a regular interval
spaceborne multispectral measurements hold great promise in generating reliable information on various natural
resources namely soils mineral surface and ground water forest cover marine resources in a timely and cost-
effective manner Geographic Information System (GIS) offers an ideal environment for integrating spatial and
attribute data on natural resources and environment and for subsequent generation of optimal land use plan on a
micro-watershed basis Furthermore Global Positioning System (GPS) enables making precise in situ measurements
on various terrain parameters which are used for both generating baseline as well as derivative information on natural
resources for various developmental activities Advancements in weather forecasting and tele-communication further
help in effective implementation of optimal land use plansaction plans An attempt has been made in this article to
provide an overview of the magnitude of the land degradation problem concepts of sustainable development based on
conservation of land and water resources and to identify sustainability indicators and to illustrate the role of remote

Disasters are not random and do not occur by accident They are the convergence of hazards and vulnerable
conditions ie disasters take place when hazards meet vulnerable situations Natural hazards such as fires floods
earthquakes and drought are part of the natural cycles of the earth When such hazards impact on vulnerable societies-
whether it is an earthquake that collapses buildings or a drought that kills crops-that society may face a catastrophic
situation requiring emergency relief and assistance to save lives and to protect the environment Natural disasters can
have a life-altering impact on the individuals families and society and at the same time the effect of natural disasters
can be felt at the community city and state level or many times these may have an impact on entire country The
impact of disasters whether it is natural or man-made not only have human dimensions but environmental ones as
well Deforestation forest management practices agriculture systems etc can exacerbate the negative environmental

impacts of a storm leading to landslides flooding silting and groundsurface water contamination Disasters create
substantial environmental degradation and ecological imbalance hinder socio-economic development and retard the
process of improving the quality of the life of people The interaction of disasters and environment has both short-term
and long-term effects These interaction and interdependencies work in a complicated way and in turn affect people
ecosystem and bio-diversity Environmental vulnerability includes the extent of natural resource depletion reduced
access to clean air safe water sanitation and inappropriate forms of waste management especially in heavily
populated and urban environments that can aggravate socio economic vulnerability Poor environmental conditions
such as diminished biodiversity soil degradation or growing food scarcity can easily threaten food security for people
dependent on the products of land forests pastures and marine environment for their livelihoods Around the globe
land use and land cover changes are eroding the natural buffers that protect communities from hazard risk These same
changes often erode capacity of people to recover from disaster However there are several opportunities to reduce
disaster risk and enhance community resilience A comprehensive understanding of natural systems coupled with the
application of management tools such as environmental evaluation and risk assessment can make a major contribution
to the reduction of risks and mitigation of any impacts There is also a need to explore the link between environmental
systems amp disasters and also the synergies between man-made and natural disasters Changing ecological conditions
can provoke emergencies by placing concurrent stresses on the environment Mitigating the effects of disasters are
primary components in global efforts to ensure environmental security It is clear that further co-ordination and co-
operation on environmental matters depends on the ability of global community to set an environmental agenda for
disaster management and in particular to pay attention to the environmental conditions that lead to disasters and to
natural resource management for disaster prevention and reduction

Eco-friendly means not harmful to our system of environment ie not harmful to land air etc Presently due
to agriculture mainly a lot of pollutants are added day by day in our environment Because of these pollutants the soil
fertility is decreasing the fear of disease in living beings are increasing a lot of poisons chemicals and gases prevails
in the environment There is a great need to the use such a cropping system which is suitable to environment ie Eco-
friendly system of cropping The Eco-friendless of cropping system may be viewed from two different angles ie
systems which help in soil and water conservation and system which reduce the use of pesticides insecticides
herbicides organic fertilizers As far as the pesticides use is concerned at national level it is a still for below the
alarming proportions Inclusion of such crops in the cropping systems in problem areas can play a significant role in
minimizing the use of agro-chemicals in the crop production
In Haryana the use of fertilizer is increasing at a very high rate The use of fertilizers (N P K) has increased
1963 times in 2017-18 from 1970-71 The use of pesticides was also increased from 976 times in 2017-18 from
1970-71 ie from 013 tonne to 057 tonnes per hectare in 2017-18 from 1970-71 But the production of food-grain in
the year 2016-17 increases only 379 times of production in 1970-71 Similarly the average yield of important crops
in Haryana shows a little increase It may be concluded that the consumption of fertilizer and pesticides are increasing
at very high rate as compared to the production of the crops

Kurukshetra University
Earthquake is a tectonic event which is causedthrough the internal pressure released by the earth in the form
of seismic waves Earthquake reveals all other catastrophic events that pose threat to human life and property It is the
most hazardous phenomenon on the earth which has an impact on a very large area leading to deaths injuries and
other socio-economic and physical damage The influence of the earthquake depends mainly on its magnitude place
and time of occurrence Earthquakes can also create other hazards like volcanoes landslides and tsunamis
Approximately 30000 seismic tremors transpire each year in the world Out of these few earthquakes are of so low
magnitude that we cannot feel them while some are of high magnitude thereby causing lots of deaths and damages
The damage caused by the earthquakes depends on the three factors ie depth of the seismic focus the intensity of the
earthquake and itrsquos time of occurrenceNorthwestern Himalayan region lies in the subduction zone between the
Eurasian and Indian plate margins therefore it becomes more vulnerable to the earthquake hazard The region lies in
IV and V seismic zones which is very active In the present study an attempt has been made to analyze the spatial
pattern of earthquakes occurrence in northwest Himalayan region of India

Media and Environment
Sangeeta Mahana Research scholar Jayoti Vidyapeeth Womenrsquos University Jaipur
Mass media is one of the most important factors underlying the knowledge of environment problem This can
only be true on the condition that first mass media are accessible to large proportion of the population second are
spending some time on environment issues and third people are interested in information on ecological issues
provided by media so that they view or listen to the corresponding program as well as read newspaper articles or other
written publications dealing with environmental issues Television print news radio broadcast and the internet are
enlisted to help promote a ldquogreen ldquoethic and raise environmental awareness
Mass media play an important role for creating environment awareness among people These daysrsquo climate
change issues are getting the highest priority and making the headlines in print and electronic media Government and
the people depend on communication and mass Media not only for disseminating information but also in setting
agenda for the development and other allied activities
Media has the power of focusing the factor that causes environmental problems as well as adverse impacts on
people Media acts as a catalyst in enlightening the masses on issues related to climate change A section of the media
has drawn our attention on several environmental issues like Ganga River action plan chipko movement Narmada
Bachavo Andolan and Appiko movement were kept alive mainly by the coverage in various media
Media can play a great role in communication of the natural disaster of region media certain characteristics that make
them powerful instruments of disaster Communication as they provide quick and easy access to large numbers of
people located at different places It helps in highlighting the problem and difficulties faced by the people affected by
disaster
Through communication members of society share their experiences and knowledge understands each other
and generates collective wisdom Today various types of mass media enable people all over the world to interact and
learn from each other at a tremendous pace Communication with the help of mass media not only brings people but
also communities together Thus contracting the globe into the village The environment and media research
programs are made up of researchers from across film and screen studies media and communications and journalism

Application of Remote Sensing In Geography
Dr Pratap Singh Rajput Guest Lecturer Govt College Sarni Betul MP
Remote sensing in geology is remote sensing used in the geological sciences as a data acquisition method
complementary to field observation because it allows mapping of geological characteristics of regions without
physical contact with the areas being explored About one-fourth of the Earths total surface area is exposed land
where information is ready to be extracted from detailed earth observation via remote sensing Remote sensing is
conducted via detection of electromagnetic radiation by sensors The radiation can be naturally sourced (passive
remote sensing) or produced by machines (active remote sensing) and reflected off of the Earth surface The
electromagnetic radiation acts as an information carrier for two main variables First the intensities of reflectance at
different wavelengths are detected and plotted on a spectral reflectance curve This spectral fingerprint is governed by
the physio-chemical properties of the surface of the target object and therefore helps mineral identification and hence
geological mapping for example by hyper spectral Second the two-way travel time of radiation from and back to the
sensor can calculate the distance in active remote sensing systems for example Interferometric synthetic-aperture
radar This helps geomorphologic studies of ground motion and thus can illuminate deformations associated
with landslides earthquakes etc Remote sensing data can help studies involving geological mapping geological
hazards and economic geology (ie exploration for minerals petroleum etc) These geological studies commonly
employ a multitude of tools classified according to short to long wavelengths of the electromagnetic radiation which
various instruments are sensitive to Shorter wavelengths are generally useful for site characterization up to
mineralogical scale while longer wavelengths reveal larger scale surface information eg regional thermal anomalies
surface roughness etc Such techniques are particularly beneficial for exploration of inaccessible areas and planets
other than Earth

Environmental Impacts of Natural Disasters
Tek Chand Student of PU Patiala
It is recognized that many significant nonmarket effects result from natural disasters including environmental
impacts Though our committee had a keen interest in these topics it became clear that these impactsmdashthough often
significantmdashdid not fit easily with this studys main report and conclusions for the following reasons (1) not all
disasters result in significant ecosystem impacts (eg many earthquakes have but minor impacts on ecosystems) (2)
some extreme events have positive impacts on ecosystems (eg floods can help rejuvenate floodplain vegetation and
are important drivers of many ecological processes in floodplains) and (3) these impacts are mainly nonmarket and
are exceptionally difficult to quantify andor monetize Though there are emerging efforts in quantifying and
monetizing ecosystem services (Costanza 1997) they are in their infancy and are not yet widely accepted
Nonetheless the magnitude of the environmental impacts of many disasters compelled the committee to discuss them
and we do so in this Appendix Though no specific recommendations regarding how environmental costs should be
incorporated in loss estimates we provide here we encourage policymakers in the relevant executive branch agencies

to devote more attention and perhaps research to these issues It is important in assessing environmental impacts to
distinguish between impacts of disasters on the natural environment from those on the human-made landscape
environment As mentioned events that societies label as natural disasters may also have beneficial ecological
consequences However these benefits tend to only manifest themselves months or years after an extreme event (eg
rejuvenation of a coniferous forest months andor years after fires) or are often not readily apparent (eg recharging
of groundwater stocks after a flood) These benefits to ecological systems are of course typically overshadowed by
immediate negative impacts on societies and structures hence the use of the term natural disasters

Geographic Information System (GIS) is considered as ldquoautomated systems used for capturing store retrieve
analyze and to display spatial datardquo (Clarke etal 1996) This tool is helpful in analyzing relationships between
location environment and incidences When looking into applicability of GIS both water-borne diseases and vector-
borne diseases are widely investigated topics at global level In the present scenario GIS has an ability to identify
location of specific diseases and their spatial unusual aggregation which can help different health agencies so that they
can provide facilities and prevent further growth of incidents1
The health geography is concerned with two fundamental questions that are revolves around (i) when and
where specific disease tend to occur and why specific pattern of incidence do occur In these directions substantial
growth has been found during the last decade whereas concept of ldquoplacerdquo plays a very significant role in determining
health of people It is regarded as new perspective to look into how ldquohealthrdquo of people is influence from ldquospacerdquo
(Kwan 2012) In the recent period due to development of modern tools such as Geographic Information System
(GIS) which makes it easier to conduct spatial analysis and modeling at different levels Now with these tools modern
epidemiologist and geographers can do analysis of health both spatially and temporally (Cromley and McLafferty
2011)
Water borne diseases are considered as diseases those emerge due to consumption and ingestion of
contaminated water that may contain pathogenic viruses bacteria protozoa and other chemical substances (UNO
Health Report 2003) These pathogens are transmitted into human body through using contaminated water when
utilize for domestic purposes that may responsible for viral bacteria and parasite related diseases A report by World
Health Organization (2016) on ldquoThe situation of water-related infectious diseases in the pan-European regionrdquo define
water related diseases asany substantial effect on human health such as illness disability disorders and sometime
death due to direct or indirect alteration in the quantity or quality of water2

Cities are characterized by the rapid urban growth and regeneration process Consequently the land use and
land cover have been altered considerably which in lieu affected the urban environment Urban environment is a
complex entity and any sort of alteration in the urban environment makes the modern urban life unsustainable These
alterations in urban environment require changes both in lifestyle and infrastructure The expansion of Grey
infrastructure and shrinking vegetation cover have induced micro-climatic changes such as heat wave intensification
intensified urban heat island effect and winter warming effect in the study area The dominance of Grey infrastructure
means impermeable surface which affected local heat budget through increased land surface temperature Further less
vegetation cover failed to regulate temperature through cooling effect of evapo-transpiration The present research
study carries out the Geo-spatial analysis of land surface temperature and normalized difference vegetation index for
the period 1990-2015 in the study area The present research is an attempt to trace out reduction in cropland during the

Origin and History of Women Self Help Groups in India on Rural Development
Dr K Rani Lakshmi Professor amp Dean FHSS IASE Deemed To Be University
In 1976 Prof Mohammed Yunus of Bangladesh started womenrsquos groups in Bangladesh and developed
thrift and savings among the poorest Self Help Group is a novel mechanism and the brainchild of Mohd Yunus a
Noble Prize Winner of 2006 in Bangladesh Now it has developed into a bank named Bangladesh Grameen Bank Its
report in February 1998 states that the bank has 1138 branches and covers 39572 villages It has 2367503 members of
which only 124571 are men With the success of BGB and similar organisations elsewhere the concept of Micro
credit has gained momentum in India Based on this success many Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) in our
country are involved in organising Self Help Groups and they serve as an agent between the bank and the poor Self
Help Groups play today a major role in poverty alleviation in rural India A growing number of poor people (mostly
women) in various parts of India are members of Self Help Groups and actively engage in savings and credit as well
as in other activities like income generation natural resources management literacy child care and nutrition etc The
Self Help Group system has proven to be very relevant and effective in offering women the possibility to break

Dr Ghanashyam Deka Assistant Professor Department of Geography Pachhunga University Mizoram
Tourism is considered as one of the largest service industry in the world In Indian economy tourism is
playing significant role to upgrade the development and raising the gross domestic product The tourism sector
becomes increasingly important in national development North-Eastern state are very fortunate and one of the most
potential region in India to attract tourists Uniqueness of the region physical and cultural diversities can attract huge
numbers of visitors and ultimately generate income from them Though this region is counted as one of the backward
regions it has potentialities for future development Tourism sector will be the suitable for that However this sector
necessitates formulation of sustainable tourism strategy so that it can be utilized as a tool for regional development
Being a hilly state Mizoram is always attracting tourists from different parts of the country The state has potential of
adventure and rural tourism Apart from that with its cultural and ethnic uniqueness the state can attract a lot of
tourists to each of the isolated village situated in the hilltop Already the state government declared tourism as an
industry under its development policies Festivals like Anthurium Chapchar Kut are now well know and attracting
few thousands of tourists every year Anthurium festival is becoming the good earning source for the villagers in

Water is primary part of life and essential for human life It is play a major role in human being even we can
say in biotic organism life Human body made with the help of 60 water It can be said water is life itself Without
water no field of human activity is complete Today human is using water resources very badly for own benefit The
ground water decline continuously is a very thinking and understandable an issue There is not state government
responsible but local people also As like people blame on government the decline of ground water is result of
agriculture model and polices of government The ground water level of district Sangrur is continuously decline
Which is a very serious issue This issue can be seen in association with climate chance If this continues the day is
not far when District of Sangrur will be completely transformed into a desert

Urban areas are suffering from excess hotness in summer mainly due to congested built-up structures The
problem became peculiar for cities located in hot arid conditions such as Hisar in Haryana (India) A continuous
surface of Land Surface Temperature (LST) can be extracted from Landsat thermal bands Similarly different band
combinations and ratios give a spatial pattern of land cover categories Spatiotemporal pattern of temperature in and
around the Hisar city was analyzed in the present study to assess the spatial variation in temperature in the area
Landsat TM images of May 2000 and 2016 were utilized to study the spatial-temporal thermal variations and their
relationships with land cover changes in Hisar city and surrounding area which experienced rapid urbanization in past
decades Land cover classifications were derived to quantify area-specific variations and brightness temperatures were
computed from the TM thermal data to express the urban thermal environment The spatial distributions of surface
temperature indicated that thermal variations had been largely broadened and showed good agreements with a change
in land use and land cover Temperature statistics of main land cover types indicated that built-up and bare land had
higher surface temperatures than natural land covers The findings indicated that the warming effect caused by
urbanization ie mainly where the natural landscape was replaced by urban areas

Over exploitation of available natural resources for meeting the growing demand for food fuel and fiber of an
ever-increasing population has led to serious environmental degradation Globally 19644x106 ha lands are affected
by human induced degradation Of this 1903x106 ha are subject to soil erosion by water 5483x106 ha to wind
erosion 2391x106 ha to chemical deterioration 682x106 ha to compaction and 105 x 10 ha to water logging

house gases in the atmosphere resulting in global warming Thus it is obvious that the environmental degradation
process unless detected early and action taken to arrest or mitigate may lead to further deterioration and may affect
sustainable development efforts which is key concern in Agenda 21 Sustainable development of natural resources
refers to maintaining a fragile balance between productivity functions and conservation practices through
identification and monitoring of problem areas and calls for optimal utilization of available natural resources based on
their potentials and limitations while maintaining a good harmony with the environment Information on the nature
extent spatial distribution along with the potentials and limitations of natural resources is a pre-requisite to achieve
the goals of sustainable development By virtue of providing synoptic view of fairly large area at a regular interval
spaceborne multispectral measurements hold great promise in generating reliable information on various natural
resources namely soils mineral surface and ground water forest cover marine resources in a timely and cost-
effective manner Geographic Information System (GIS) offers an ideal environment for integrating spatial and
attribute data on natural resources and environment and for subsequent generation of optimal land use plan on a
micro-watershed basis Furthermore Global Positioning System (GPS) enables making precise in situ measurements
on various terrain parameters which are used for both generating baseline as well as derivative information on natural
resources for various developmental activities Advancements in weather forecasting and tele-communication further
help in effective implementation of optimal land use plansaction plans An attempt has been made in this article to
provide an overview of the magnitude of the land degradation problem concepts of sustainable development based on
conservation of land and water resources and to identify sustainability indicators and to illustrate the role of remote

Disasters are not random and do not occur by accident They are the convergence of hazards and vulnerable
conditions ie disasters take place when hazards meet vulnerable situations Natural hazards such as fires floods
earthquakes and drought are part of the natural cycles of the earth When such hazards impact on vulnerable societies-
whether it is an earthquake that collapses buildings or a drought that kills crops-that society may face a catastrophic
situation requiring emergency relief and assistance to save lives and to protect the environment Natural disasters can
have a life-altering impact on the individuals families and society and at the same time the effect of natural disasters
can be felt at the community city and state level or many times these may have an impact on entire country The
impact of disasters whether it is natural or man-made not only have human dimensions but environmental ones as
well Deforestation forest management practices agriculture systems etc can exacerbate the negative environmental

impacts of a storm leading to landslides flooding silting and groundsurface water contamination Disasters create
substantial environmental degradation and ecological imbalance hinder socio-economic development and retard the
process of improving the quality of the life of people The interaction of disasters and environment has both short-term
and long-term effects These interaction and interdependencies work in a complicated way and in turn affect people
ecosystem and bio-diversity Environmental vulnerability includes the extent of natural resource depletion reduced
access to clean air safe water sanitation and inappropriate forms of waste management especially in heavily
populated and urban environments that can aggravate socio economic vulnerability Poor environmental conditions
such as diminished biodiversity soil degradation or growing food scarcity can easily threaten food security for people
dependent on the products of land forests pastures and marine environment for their livelihoods Around the globe
land use and land cover changes are eroding the natural buffers that protect communities from hazard risk These same
changes often erode capacity of people to recover from disaster However there are several opportunities to reduce
disaster risk and enhance community resilience A comprehensive understanding of natural systems coupled with the
application of management tools such as environmental evaluation and risk assessment can make a major contribution
to the reduction of risks and mitigation of any impacts There is also a need to explore the link between environmental
systems amp disasters and also the synergies between man-made and natural disasters Changing ecological conditions
can provoke emergencies by placing concurrent stresses on the environment Mitigating the effects of disasters are
primary components in global efforts to ensure environmental security It is clear that further co-ordination and co-
operation on environmental matters depends on the ability of global community to set an environmental agenda for
disaster management and in particular to pay attention to the environmental conditions that lead to disasters and to
natural resource management for disaster prevention and reduction

Eco-friendly means not harmful to our system of environment ie not harmful to land air etc Presently due
to agriculture mainly a lot of pollutants are added day by day in our environment Because of these pollutants the soil
fertility is decreasing the fear of disease in living beings are increasing a lot of poisons chemicals and gases prevails
in the environment There is a great need to the use such a cropping system which is suitable to environment ie Eco-
friendly system of cropping The Eco-friendless of cropping system may be viewed from two different angles ie
systems which help in soil and water conservation and system which reduce the use of pesticides insecticides
herbicides organic fertilizers As far as the pesticides use is concerned at national level it is a still for below the
alarming proportions Inclusion of such crops in the cropping systems in problem areas can play a significant role in
minimizing the use of agro-chemicals in the crop production
In Haryana the use of fertilizer is increasing at a very high rate The use of fertilizers (N P K) has increased
1963 times in 2017-18 from 1970-71 The use of pesticides was also increased from 976 times in 2017-18 from
1970-71 ie from 013 tonne to 057 tonnes per hectare in 2017-18 from 1970-71 But the production of food-grain in
the year 2016-17 increases only 379 times of production in 1970-71 Similarly the average yield of important crops
in Haryana shows a little increase It may be concluded that the consumption of fertilizer and pesticides are increasing
at very high rate as compared to the production of the crops

Earthquake is a tectonic event which is causedthrough the internal pressure released by the earth in the form
of seismic waves Earthquake reveals all other catastrophic events that pose threat to human life and property It is the
most hazardous phenomenon on the earth which has an impact on a very large area leading to deaths injuries and
other socio-economic and physical damage The influence of the earthquake depends mainly on its magnitude place
and time of occurrence Earthquakes can also create other hazards like volcanoes landslides and tsunamis
Approximately 30000 seismic tremors transpire each year in the world Out of these few earthquakes are of so low
magnitude that we cannot feel them while some are of high magnitude thereby causing lots of deaths and damages
The damage caused by the earthquakes depends on the three factors ie depth of the seismic focus the intensity of the
earthquake and itrsquos time of occurrenceNorthwestern Himalayan region lies in the subduction zone between the
Eurasian and Indian plate margins therefore it becomes more vulnerable to the earthquake hazard The region lies in
IV and V seismic zones which is very active In the present study an attempt has been made to analyze the spatial

Mass media is one of the most important factors underlying the knowledge of environment problem This can
only be true on the condition that first mass media are accessible to large proportion of the population second are
spending some time on environment issues and third people are interested in information on ecological issues
provided by media so that they view or listen to the corresponding program as well as read newspaper articles or other
written publications dealing with environmental issues Television print news radio broadcast and the internet are
enlisted to help promote a ldquogreen ldquoethic and raise environmental awareness
Mass media play an important role for creating environment awareness among people These daysrsquo climate
change issues are getting the highest priority and making the headlines in print and electronic media Government and
the people depend on communication and mass Media not only for disseminating information but also in setting
agenda for the development and other allied activities
Media has the power of focusing the factor that causes environmental problems as well as adverse impacts on
people Media acts as a catalyst in enlightening the masses on issues related to climate change A section of the media
has drawn our attention on several environmental issues like Ganga River action plan chipko movement Narmada
Bachavo Andolan and Appiko movement were kept alive mainly by the coverage in various media
Media can play a great role in communication of the natural disaster of region media certain characteristics that make
them powerful instruments of disaster Communication as they provide quick and easy access to large numbers of
people located at different places It helps in highlighting the problem and difficulties faced by the people affected by
disaster
Through communication members of society share their experiences and knowledge understands each other
and generates collective wisdom Today various types of mass media enable people all over the world to interact and
learn from each other at a tremendous pace Communication with the help of mass media not only brings people but
also communities together Thus contracting the globe into the village The environment and media research

Application of Remote Sensing In Geography
Dr Pratap Singh Rajput Guest Lecturer Govt College Sarni Betul MP
Remote sensing in geology is remote sensing used in the geological sciences as a data acquisition method
complementary to field observation because it allows mapping of geological characteristics of regions without
physical contact with the areas being explored About one-fourth of the Earths total surface area is exposed land
where information is ready to be extracted from detailed earth observation via remote sensing Remote sensing is
conducted via detection of electromagnetic radiation by sensors The radiation can be naturally sourced (passive
remote sensing) or produced by machines (active remote sensing) and reflected off of the Earth surface The
electromagnetic radiation acts as an information carrier for two main variables First the intensities of reflectance at
different wavelengths are detected and plotted on a spectral reflectance curve This spectral fingerprint is governed by
the physio-chemical properties of the surface of the target object and therefore helps mineral identification and hence
geological mapping for example by hyper spectral Second the two-way travel time of radiation from and back to the
sensor can calculate the distance in active remote sensing systems for example Interferometric synthetic-aperture
radar This helps geomorphologic studies of ground motion and thus can illuminate deformations associated
with landslides earthquakes etc Remote sensing data can help studies involving geological mapping geological
hazards and economic geology (ie exploration for minerals petroleum etc) These geological studies commonly
employ a multitude of tools classified according to short to long wavelengths of the electromagnetic radiation which
various instruments are sensitive to Shorter wavelengths are generally useful for site characterization up to
mineralogical scale while longer wavelengths reveal larger scale surface information eg regional thermal anomalies
surface roughness etc Such techniques are particularly beneficial for exploration of inaccessible areas and planets
other than Earth

Water Resources Issues and Management in India
Naresh Kumar Assit Professor CRM Jat College Hisar
Water is one of the most essential natural resources for sustaining life Its development and
management play a vital role in agriculture production Integrated water management is vital for poverty
reduction environmental sustenance and sustainable economic development In view of the rapid increase
in population urbanization and industrialization the demand for water for meeting various requirements is
continuously increasing Therefore we are facing numerous challenges in the water sector which include
reducing per capita water availability the decline in groundwater table in many areas and saltwater
intrusion in coastal aquifers The quality of surface water and groundwater is also deteriorating because of
increasing pollutant loads from various sources Climate change may also adversely affect the availability
and distribution of water resources This article presents an overview of relevant issues pertaining to
development and management of water resources in India

Environmental Impacts of Natural Disasters
Tek Chand Student of PU Patiala
It is recognized that many significant nonmarket effects result from natural disasters including environmental
impacts Though our committee had a keen interest in these topics it became clear that these impactsmdashthough often
significantmdashdid not fit easily with this studys main report and conclusions for the following reasons (1) not all
disasters result in significant ecosystem impacts (eg many earthquakes have but minor impacts on ecosystems) (2)
some extreme events have positive impacts on ecosystems (eg floods can help rejuvenate floodplain vegetation and
are important drivers of many ecological processes in floodplains) and (3) these impacts are mainly nonmarket and
are exceptionally difficult to quantify andor monetize Though there are emerging efforts in quantifying and
monetizing ecosystem services (Costanza 1997) they are in their infancy and are not yet widely accepted
Nonetheless the magnitude of the environmental impacts of many disasters compelled the committee to discuss them
and we do so in this Appendix Though no specific recommendations regarding how environmental costs should be
incorporated in loss estimates we provide here we encourage policymakers in the relevant executive branch agencies

to devote more attention and perhaps research to these issues It is important in assessing environmental impacts to
distinguish between impacts of disasters on the natural environment from those on the human-made landscape
environment As mentioned events that societies label as natural disasters may also have beneficial ecological
consequences However these benefits tend to only manifest themselves months or years after an extreme event (eg
rejuvenation of a coniferous forest months andor years after fires) or are often not readily apparent (eg recharging
of groundwater stocks after a flood) These benefits to ecological systems are of course typically overshadowed by
immediate negative impacts on societies and structures hence the use of the term natural disasters

Soils are derived from parent rock material through the process of break-up wear and tear Soil is our prime
natural and economic resource because we derive everything that we need in our life from the soil It is the soil that
provides food both for humans and animals Soil is the most valuable wealth of the country on which the prosperity
and total agricultural products is based There are various factors such as parent material vegetation climate and slope
which affect the formation of soil The change in any one of these factors cause a change in soil types and soil
character
An intimate knowledge of soil is a prerequisite for all agricultural operations and planning The role of soil is
of paramount importance in Hisar district where it provides livelihood to 70 of the total population The Hisar
district soils have developed under the arid and humid climate over the bedrocks of complex nature predominantly
under the process of laterization The present paper deals with the various types of soil of Hisar district It also

Disaster Prevention and Management in India
Om Prakash Choyal Kuchaman PG College Rajasthan
India is one of the hazard prone countries in South Asia Floods droughts landslides snowstorms hurricanes
and cyclones occur regularly Among these earthquakes floods and drought risk are extremely high These hazards
threaten millions of lives and cause large scale financial infrastructure agriculture and productivity losses that
seriously hinder Indiarsquos overall development In India the primary responsibility for responding to disaster lies at the
state and the central level The GOI have a national emergency plan for disaster management some of the state also
has a disaster management plan It can be and is called upon to assist when necessary but there is a lack of awareness
in the public Many Indian States have limited resources and lack their own disaster management plans Considering
these problems this paper attempts to throw light on a more integrated and responsive disaster management system in
India This paper will provide important information in three mutually reinforcing areas viz disaster preparedness
response and rehabilitation management The various case studies for disaster management will be discussed

Geographic Information System (GIS) is considered as ldquoautomated systems used for capturing store retrieve
analyze and to display spatial datardquo (Clarke etal 1996) This tool is helpful in analyzing relationships between
location environment and incidences When looking into applicability of GIS both water-borne diseases and vector-
borne diseases are widely investigated topics at global level In the present scenario GIS has an ability to identify
location of specific diseases and their spatial unusual aggregation which can help different health agencies so that they
can provide facilities and prevent further growth of incidents1
The health geography is concerned with two fundamental questions that are revolves around (i) when and
where specific disease tend to occur and why specific pattern of incidence do occur In these directions substantial
growth has been found during the last decade whereas concept of ldquoplacerdquo plays a very significant role in determining
health of people It is regarded as new perspective to look into how ldquohealthrdquo of people is influence from ldquospacerdquo
(Kwan 2012) In the recent period due to development of modern tools such as Geographic Information System
(GIS) which makes it easier to conduct spatial analysis and modeling at different levels Now with these tools modern
epidemiologist and geographers can do analysis of health both spatially and temporally (Cromley and McLafferty
2011)
Water borne diseases are considered as diseases those emerge due to consumption and ingestion of
contaminated water that may contain pathogenic viruses bacteria protozoa and other chemical substances (UNO
Health Report 2003) These pathogens are transmitted into human body through using contaminated water when
utilize for domestic purposes that may responsible for viral bacteria and parasite related diseases A report by World
Health Organization (2016) on ldquoThe situation of water-related infectious diseases in the pan-European regionrdquo define
water related diseases asany substantial effect on human health such as illness disability disorders and sometime
death due to direct or indirect alteration in the quantity or quality of water2

which only 124571 are men With the success of BGB and similar organisations elsewhere the concept of Micro
credit has gained momentum in India Based on this success many Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) in our
country are involved in organising Self Help Groups and they serve as an agent between the bank and the poor Self
Help Groups play today a major role in poverty alleviation in rural India A growing number of poor people (mostly
women) in various parts of India are members of Self Help Groups and actively engage in savings and credit as well
as in other activities like income generation natural resources management literacy child care and nutrition etc The

Tourism is considered as one of the largest service industry in the world In Indian economy tourism is
playing significant role to upgrade the development and raising the gross domestic product The tourism sector
becomes increasingly important in national development North-Eastern state are very fortunate and one of the most
potential region in India to attract tourists Uniqueness of the region physical and cultural diversities can attract huge
numbers of visitors and ultimately generate income from them Though this region is counted as one of the backward
regions it has potentialities for future development Tourism sector will be the suitable for that However this sector
necessitates formulation of sustainable tourism strategy so that it can be utilized as a tool for regional development
Being a hilly state Mizoram is always attracting tourists from different parts of the country The state has potential of
adventure and rural tourism Apart from that with its cultural and ethnic uniqueness the state can attract a lot of
tourists to each of the isolated village situated in the hilltop Already the state government declared tourism as an
industry under its development policies Festivals like Anthurium Chapchar Kut are now well know and attracting
few thousands of tourists every year Anthurium festival is becoming the good earning source for the villagers in

Urban areas are suffering from excess hotness in summer mainly due to congested built-up structures The
problem became peculiar for cities located in hot arid conditions such as Hisar in Haryana (India) A continuous
surface of Land Surface Temperature (LST) can be extracted from Landsat thermal bands Similarly different band
combinations and ratios give a spatial pattern of land cover categories Spatiotemporal pattern of temperature in and
around the Hisar city was analyzed in the present study to assess the spatial variation in temperature in the area
Landsat TM images of May 2000 and 2016 were utilized to study the spatial-temporal thermal variations and their
relationships with land cover changes in Hisar city and surrounding area which experienced rapid urbanization in past
decades Land cover classifications were derived to quantify area-specific variations and brightness temperatures were
computed from the TM thermal data to express the urban thermal environment The spatial distributions of surface
temperature indicated that thermal variations had been largely broadened and showed good agreements with a change
in land use and land cover Temperature statistics of main land cover types indicated that built-up and bare land had
higher surface temperatures than natural land covers The findings indicated that the warming effect caused by
urbanization ie mainly where the natural landscape was replaced by urban areas

Over exploitation of available natural resources for meeting the growing demand for food fuel and fiber of an
ever-increasing population has led to serious environmental degradation Globally 19644x106 ha lands are affected
by human induced degradation Of this 1903x106 ha are subject to soil erosion by water 5483x106 ha to wind
erosion 2391x106 ha to chemical deterioration 682x106 ha to compaction and 105 x 10 ha to water logging
(UNEP 1993) Furthermore rapid industrialization coupled with the deforestation has led to building up of green

house gases in the atmosphere resulting in global warming Thus it is obvious that the environmental degradation
process unless detected early and action taken to arrest or mitigate may lead to further deterioration and may affect
sustainable development efforts which is key concern in Agenda 21 Sustainable development of natural resources
refers to maintaining a fragile balance between productivity functions and conservation practices through
identification and monitoring of problem areas and calls for optimal utilization of available natural resources based on
their potentials and limitations while maintaining a good harmony with the environment Information on the nature
extent spatial distribution along with the potentials and limitations of natural resources is a pre-requisite to achieve
the goals of sustainable development By virtue of providing synoptic view of fairly large area at a regular interval
spaceborne multispectral measurements hold great promise in generating reliable information on various natural
resources namely soils mineral surface and ground water forest cover marine resources in a timely and cost-
effective manner Geographic Information System (GIS) offers an ideal environment for integrating spatial and
attribute data on natural resources and environment and for subsequent generation of optimal land use plan on a
micro-watershed basis Furthermore Global Positioning System (GPS) enables making precise in situ measurements
on various terrain parameters which are used for both generating baseline as well as derivative information on natural
resources for various developmental activities Advancements in weather forecasting and tele-communication further
help in effective implementation of optimal land use plansaction plans An attempt has been made in this article to
provide an overview of the magnitude of the land degradation problem concepts of sustainable development based on
conservation of land and water resources and to identify sustainability indicators and to illustrate the role of remote
sensing GIS GPS and digital photogrammetry A few case studies are cited on the success stories on sustainable
development of land and water resources Furthermore the article also identifies gap areas and projects future

Disasters are not random and do not occur by accident They are the convergence of hazards and vulnerable
conditions ie disasters take place when hazards meet vulnerable situations Natural hazards such as fires floods
earthquakes and drought are part of the natural cycles of the earth When such hazards impact on vulnerable societies-
whether it is an earthquake that collapses buildings or a drought that kills crops-that society may face a catastrophic
situation requiring emergency relief and assistance to save lives and to protect the environment Natural disasters can
have a life-altering impact on the individuals families and society and at the same time the effect of natural disasters
can be felt at the community city and state level or many times these may have an impact on entire country The
impact of disasters whether it is natural or man-made not only have human dimensions but environmental ones as
well Deforestation forest management practices agriculture systems etc can exacerbate the negative environmental

impacts of a storm leading to landslides flooding silting and groundsurface water contamination Disasters create
substantial environmental degradation and ecological imbalance hinder socio-economic development and retard the
process of improving the quality of the life of people The interaction of disasters and environment has both short-term
and long-term effects These interaction and interdependencies work in a complicated way and in turn affect people
ecosystem and bio-diversity Environmental vulnerability includes the extent of natural resource depletion reduced
access to clean air safe water sanitation and inappropriate forms of waste management especially in heavily
populated and urban environments that can aggravate socio economic vulnerability Poor environmental conditions
such as diminished biodiversity soil degradation or growing food scarcity can easily threaten food security for people
dependent on the products of land forests pastures and marine environment for their livelihoods Around the globe
land use and land cover changes are eroding the natural buffers that protect communities from hazard risk These same
changes often erode capacity of people to recover from disaster However there are several opportunities to reduce
disaster risk and enhance community resilience A comprehensive understanding of natural systems coupled with the
application of management tools such as environmental evaluation and risk assessment can make a major contribution
to the reduction of risks and mitigation of any impacts There is also a need to explore the link between environmental
systems amp disasters and also the synergies between man-made and natural disasters Changing ecological conditions
can provoke emergencies by placing concurrent stresses on the environment Mitigating the effects of disasters are
primary components in global efforts to ensure environmental security It is clear that further co-ordination and co-
operation on environmental matters depends on the ability of global community to set an environmental agenda for
disaster management and in particular to pay attention to the environmental conditions that lead to disasters and to
natural resource management for disaster prevention and reduction

Eco-friendly means not harmful to our system of environment ie not harmful to land air etc Presently due
to agriculture mainly a lot of pollutants are added day by day in our environment Because of these pollutants the soil
fertility is decreasing the fear of disease in living beings are increasing a lot of poisons chemicals and gases prevails
in the environment There is a great need to the use such a cropping system which is suitable to environment ie Eco-
friendly system of cropping The Eco-friendless of cropping system may be viewed from two different angles ie
systems which help in soil and water conservation and system which reduce the use of pesticides insecticides
herbicides organic fertilizers As far as the pesticides use is concerned at national level it is a still for below the
alarming proportions Inclusion of such crops in the cropping systems in problem areas can play a significant role in
minimizing the use of agro-chemicals in the crop production
In Haryana the use of fertilizer is increasing at a very high rate The use of fertilizers (N P K) has increased
1963 times in 2017-18 from 1970-71 The use of pesticides was also increased from 976 times in 2017-18 from
1970-71 ie from 013 tonne to 057 tonnes per hectare in 2017-18 from 1970-71 But the production of food-grain in
the year 2016-17 increases only 379 times of production in 1970-71 Similarly the average yield of important crops
in Haryana shows a little increase It may be concluded that the consumption of fertilizer and pesticides are increasing
at very high rate as compared to the production of the crops

Agriculture has an important role to play in the economic growth of an agrarian economy of IndiaWe can say
that it is backbone of our economyAgriculture contributes a large share of national income agriculture through the
provision of raw materialinfluences industrial structuretransport and other servicesAgriculture is most dominant and
important sector of Indian Economy that plays a vital role in the overall economic development of the countryThis
sector is heavily weather dependent world over more in the tropical monsoon type of climate Agriculture crops are
extremely susceptible to fluctuation in climate factors such as rainfall and temperature conditions specially there
seasonality and unpredictability Climate chage has significant effects on agriculture including changes in farm
productivity cropping pattern profitability price supply and tradeIntergovernmental panel on climate change (IPCC)
published on 31st March 2014 stresses the risk of global warming and tries to make a stronger case for governments to
adopt policy on adaption and cut greenhouse gas emissionsThe agriculture sector has low production due to a number

Indian Agriculture is associated with the monsoon patterns CO2 level in atmosphere soil condition etc Due to
changing climate there are certain problems those are variations in rainfall patterns Stream flows of rivers which are
leading to floodsExtra tropical cyclones Intense rainfall Increasing of temperature Desertification AridityClimate

Earthquake is a tectonic event which is causedthrough the internal pressure released by the earth in the form
of seismic waves Earthquake reveals all other catastrophic events that pose threat to human life and property It is the
most hazardous phenomenon on the earth which has an impact on a very large area leading to deaths injuries and
other socio-economic and physical damage The influence of the earthquake depends mainly on its magnitude place
and time of occurrence Earthquakes can also create other hazards like volcanoes landslides and tsunamis
Approximately 30000 seismic tremors transpire each year in the world Out of these few earthquakes are of so low
magnitude that we cannot feel them while some are of high magnitude thereby causing lots of deaths and damages
The damage caused by the earthquakes depends on the three factors ie depth of the seismic focus the intensity of the
earthquake and itrsquos time of occurrenceNorthwestern Himalayan region lies in the subduction zone between the
Eurasian and Indian plate margins therefore it becomes more vulnerable to the earthquake hazard The region lies in
IV and V seismic zones which is very active In the present study an attempt has been made to analyze the spatial
pattern of earthquakes occurrence in northwest Himalayan region of India

Media and Environment
Sangeeta Mahana Research scholar Jayoti Vidyapeeth Womenrsquos University Jaipur
Mass media is one of the most important factors underlying the knowledge of environment problem This can
only be true on the condition that first mass media are accessible to large proportion of the population second are
spending some time on environment issues and third people are interested in information on ecological issues
provided by media so that they view or listen to the corresponding program as well as read newspaper articles or other
written publications dealing with environmental issues Television print news radio broadcast and the internet are
enlisted to help promote a ldquogreen ldquoethic and raise environmental awareness
Mass media play an important role for creating environment awareness among people These daysrsquo climate
change issues are getting the highest priority and making the headlines in print and electronic media Government and
the people depend on communication and mass Media not only for disseminating information but also in setting
agenda for the development and other allied activities
Media has the power of focusing the factor that causes environmental problems as well as adverse impacts on
people Media acts as a catalyst in enlightening the masses on issues related to climate change A section of the media
has drawn our attention on several environmental issues like Ganga River action plan chipko movement Narmada
Bachavo Andolan and Appiko movement were kept alive mainly by the coverage in various media
Media can play a great role in communication of the natural disaster of region media certain characteristics that make
them powerful instruments of disaster Communication as they provide quick and easy access to large numbers of
people located at different places It helps in highlighting the problem and difficulties faced by the people affected by
disaster
Through communication members of society share their experiences and knowledge understands each other
and generates collective wisdom Today various types of mass media enable people all over the world to interact and
learn from each other at a tremendous pace Communication with the help of mass media not only brings people but
also communities together Thus contracting the globe into the village The environment and media research
programs are made up of researchers from across film and screen studies media and communications and journalism

Application of Remote Sensing In Geography
Dr Pratap Singh Rajput Guest Lecturer Govt College Sarni Betul MP
Remote sensing in geology is remote sensing used in the geological sciences as a data acquisition method
complementary to field observation because it allows mapping of geological characteristics of regions without
physical contact with the areas being explored About one-fourth of the Earths total surface area is exposed land
where information is ready to be extracted from detailed earth observation via remote sensing Remote sensing is
conducted via detection of electromagnetic radiation by sensors The radiation can be naturally sourced (passive
remote sensing) or produced by machines (active remote sensing) and reflected off of the Earth surface The
electromagnetic radiation acts as an information carrier for two main variables First the intensities of reflectance at
different wavelengths are detected and plotted on a spectral reflectance curve This spectral fingerprint is governed by
the physio-chemical properties of the surface of the target object and therefore helps mineral identification and hence
geological mapping for example by hyper spectral Second the two-way travel time of radiation from and back to the
sensor can calculate the distance in active remote sensing systems for example Interferometric synthetic-aperture
radar This helps geomorphologic studies of ground motion and thus can illuminate deformations associated
with landslides earthquakes etc Remote sensing data can help studies involving geological mapping geological
hazards and economic geology (ie exploration for minerals petroleum etc) These geological studies commonly
employ a multitude of tools classified according to short to long wavelengths of the electromagnetic radiation which
various instruments are sensitive to Shorter wavelengths are generally useful for site characterization up to
mineralogical scale while longer wavelengths reveal larger scale surface information eg regional thermal anomalies
surface roughness etc Such techniques are particularly beneficial for exploration of inaccessible areas and planets
other than Earth

A rapidly emerging menace ie deforestation is a big concern and challenge not only before India but across
the world and poses a threat to the sustainable development of mankind Forest resource is renewable resources and is
prominent geographic feature at the global level supporting living organisms of various forms Forest is defined as a
community of living trees and associated organisms which covers a considerable area It usually refers to all lands
more than one hectare in area with a tree canopy density of more than 10 percent irrespective of ownership and legal
status India is one of the ten most forest-rich countries of the world Forestry in India is a significant rural industry
and a major environmental resource But ironically the rate of deforestation in India is alarmingly high to suit a
variety of needs especially to fulfill the agricultural pursuits
In light of preceding discussion the present study will examine and unravel the regional patterns of
deforestation in India In particular the study intends to analyze and explore the extent trends magnitude and
distributional pattern of deforestation across various regions and states and their accuracy assessments for two

Environmental Impacts of Natural Disasters
Tek Chand Student of PU Patiala
It is recognized that many significant nonmarket effects result from natural disasters including environmental
impacts Though our committee had a keen interest in these topics it became clear that these impactsmdashthough often
significantmdashdid not fit easily with this studys main report and conclusions for the following reasons (1) not all
disasters result in significant ecosystem impacts (eg many earthquakes have but minor impacts on ecosystems) (2)
some extreme events have positive impacts on ecosystems (eg floods can help rejuvenate floodplain vegetation and
are important drivers of many ecological processes in floodplains) and (3) these impacts are mainly nonmarket and
are exceptionally difficult to quantify andor monetize Though there are emerging efforts in quantifying and
monetizing ecosystem services (Costanza 1997) they are in their infancy and are not yet widely accepted
Nonetheless the magnitude of the environmental impacts of many disasters compelled the committee to discuss them
and we do so in this Appendix Though no specific recommendations regarding how environmental costs should be
incorporated in loss estimates we provide here we encourage policymakers in the relevant executive branch agencies

to devote more attention and perhaps research to these issues It is important in assessing environmental impacts to
distinguish between impacts of disasters on the natural environment from those on the human-made landscape
environment As mentioned events that societies label as natural disasters may also have beneficial ecological
consequences However these benefits tend to only manifest themselves months or years after an extreme event (eg
rejuvenation of a coniferous forest months andor years after fires) or are often not readily apparent (eg recharging
of groundwater stocks after a flood) These benefits to ecological systems are of course typically overshadowed by
immediate negative impacts on societies and structures hence the use of the term natural disasters

Geographic Information System (GIS) is considered as ldquoautomated systems used for capturing store retrieve
analyze and to display spatial datardquo (Clarke etal 1996) This tool is helpful in analyzing relationships between
location environment and incidences When looking into applicability of GIS both water-borne diseases and vector-
borne diseases are widely investigated topics at global level In the present scenario GIS has an ability to identify
location of specific diseases and their spatial unusual aggregation which can help different health agencies so that they
can provide facilities and prevent further growth of incidents1
The health geography is concerned with two fundamental questions that are revolves around (i) when and
where specific disease tend to occur and why specific pattern of incidence do occur In these directions substantial
growth has been found during the last decade whereas concept of ldquoplacerdquo plays a very significant role in determining
health of people It is regarded as new perspective to look into how ldquohealthrdquo of people is influence from ldquospacerdquo
(Kwan 2012) In the recent period due to development of modern tools such as Geographic Information System
(GIS) which makes it easier to conduct spatial analysis and modeling at different levels Now with these tools modern
epidemiologist and geographers can do analysis of health both spatially and temporally (Cromley and McLafferty
2011)
Water borne diseases are considered as diseases those emerge due to consumption and ingestion of
contaminated water that may contain pathogenic viruses bacteria protozoa and other chemical substances (UNO
Health Report 2003) These pathogens are transmitted into human body through using contaminated water when
utilize for domestic purposes that may responsible for viral bacteria and parasite related diseases A report by World
Health Organization (2016) on ldquoThe situation of water-related infectious diseases in the pan-European regionrdquo define
water related diseases asany substantial effect on human health such as illness disability disorders and sometime
death due to direct or indirect alteration in the quantity or quality of water2

Dr Ashutosh Singh Assistant Professor Department of Geography Pachhunga University College Mizoram
Dr Ghanashyam Deka Assistant Professor Department of Geography Pachhunga University Mizoram
Tourism is considered as one of the largest service industry in the world In Indian economy tourism is
playing significant role to upgrade the development and raising the gross domestic product The tourism sector
becomes increasingly important in national development North-Eastern state are very fortunate and one of the most
potential region in India to attract tourists Uniqueness of the region physical and cultural diversities can attract huge
numbers of visitors and ultimately generate income from them Though this region is counted as one of the backward
regions it has potentialities for future development Tourism sector will be the suitable for that However this sector
necessitates formulation of sustainable tourism strategy so that it can be utilized as a tool for regional development
Being a hilly state Mizoram is always attracting tourists from different parts of the country The state has potential of
adventure and rural tourism Apart from that with its cultural and ethnic uniqueness the state can attract a lot of
tourists to each of the isolated village situated in the hilltop Already the state government declared tourism as an
industry under its development policies Festivals like Anthurium Chapchar Kut are now well know and attracting
few thousands of tourists every year Anthurium festival is becoming the good earning source for the villagers in
Reiek This paper is an attempt to study the role of tourism in rural development in light of Anthurium

Water is primary part of life and essential for human life It is play a major role in human being even we can
say in biotic organism life Human body made with the help of 60 water It can be said water is life itself Without
water no field of human activity is complete Today human is using water resources very badly for own benefit The
ground water decline continuously is a very thinking and understandable an issue There is not state government
responsible but local people also As like people blame on government the decline of ground water is result of
agriculture model and polices of government The ground water level of district Sangrur is continuously decline
Which is a very serious issue This issue can be seen in association with climate chance If this continues the day is
not far when District of Sangrur will be completely transformed into a desert

Urban areas are suffering from excess hotness in summer mainly due to congested built-up structures The
problem became peculiar for cities located in hot arid conditions such as Hisar in Haryana (India) A continuous
surface of Land Surface Temperature (LST) can be extracted from Landsat thermal bands Similarly different band
combinations and ratios give a spatial pattern of land cover categories Spatiotemporal pattern of temperature in and
around the Hisar city was analyzed in the present study to assess the spatial variation in temperature in the area
Landsat TM images of May 2000 and 2016 were utilized to study the spatial-temporal thermal variations and their
relationships with land cover changes in Hisar city and surrounding area which experienced rapid urbanization in past
decades Land cover classifications were derived to quantify area-specific variations and brightness temperatures were
computed from the TM thermal data to express the urban thermal environment The spatial distributions of surface
temperature indicated that thermal variations had been largely broadened and showed good agreements with a change
in land use and land cover Temperature statistics of main land cover types indicated that built-up and bare land had
higher surface temperatures than natural land covers The findings indicated that the warming effect caused by
urbanization ie mainly where the natural landscape was replaced by urban areas

house gases in the atmosphere resulting in global warming Thus it is obvious that the environmental degradation
process unless detected early and action taken to arrest or mitigate may lead to further deterioration and may affect
sustainable development efforts which is key concern in Agenda 21 Sustainable development of natural resources
refers to maintaining a fragile balance between productivity functions and conservation practices through
identification and monitoring of problem areas and calls for optimal utilization of available natural resources based on
their potentials and limitations while maintaining a good harmony with the environment Information on the nature
extent spatial distribution along with the potentials and limitations of natural resources is a pre-requisite to achieve
the goals of sustainable development By virtue of providing synoptic view of fairly large area at a regular interval
spaceborne multispectral measurements hold great promise in generating reliable information on various natural

Disasters are not random and do not occur by accident They are the convergence of hazards and vulnerable
conditions ie disasters take place when hazards meet vulnerable situations Natural hazards such as fires floods
earthquakes and drought are part of the natural cycles of the earth When such hazards impact on vulnerable societies-
whether it is an earthquake that collapses buildings or a drought that kills crops-that society may face a catastrophic
situation requiring emergency relief and assistance to save lives and to protect the environment Natural disasters can
have a life-altering impact on the individuals families and society and at the same time the effect of natural disasters
can be felt at the community city and state level or many times these may have an impact on entire country The
impact of disasters whether it is natural or man-made not only have human dimensions but environmental ones as
well Deforestation forest management practices agriculture systems etc can exacerbate the negative environmental

impacts of a storm leading to landslides flooding silting and groundsurface water contamination Disasters create
substantial environmental degradation and ecological imbalance hinder socio-economic development and retard the
process of improving the quality of the life of people The interaction of disasters and environment has both short-term
and long-term effects These interaction and interdependencies work in a complicated way and in turn affect people
ecosystem and bio-diversity Environmental vulnerability includes the extent of natural resource depletion reduced
access to clean air safe water sanitation and inappropriate forms of waste management especially in heavily
populated and urban environments that can aggravate socio economic vulnerability Poor environmental conditions
such as diminished biodiversity soil degradation or growing food scarcity can easily threaten food security for people
dependent on the products of land forests pastures and marine environment for their livelihoods Around the globe
land use and land cover changes are eroding the natural buffers that protect communities from hazard risk These same
changes often erode capacity of people to recover from disaster However there are several opportunities to reduce
disaster risk and enhance community resilience A comprehensive understanding of natural systems coupled with the
application of management tools such as environmental evaluation and risk assessment can make a major contribution
to the reduction of risks and mitigation of any impacts There is also a need to explore the link between environmental
systems amp disasters and also the synergies between man-made and natural disasters Changing ecological conditions
can provoke emergencies by placing concurrent stresses on the environment Mitigating the effects of disasters are
primary components in global efforts to ensure environmental security It is clear that further co-ordination and co-
operation on environmental matters depends on the ability of global community to set an environmental agenda for
disaster management and in particular to pay attention to the environmental conditions that lead to disasters and to
natural resource management for disaster prevention and reduction

Eco-friendly means not harmful to our system of environment ie not harmful to land air etc Presently due
to agriculture mainly a lot of pollutants are added day by day in our environment Because of these pollutants the soil
fertility is decreasing the fear of disease in living beings are increasing a lot of poisons chemicals and gases prevails
in the environment There is a great need to the use such a cropping system which is suitable to environment ie Eco-
friendly system of cropping The Eco-friendless of cropping system may be viewed from two different angles ie
systems which help in soil and water conservation and system which reduce the use of pesticides insecticides
herbicides organic fertilizers As far as the pesticides use is concerned at national level it is a still for below the
alarming proportions Inclusion of such crops in the cropping systems in problem areas can play a significant role in
minimizing the use of agro-chemicals in the crop production
In Haryana the use of fertilizer is increasing at a very high rate The use of fertilizers (N P K) has increased
1963 times in 2017-18 from 1970-71 The use of pesticides was also increased from 976 times in 2017-18 from
1970-71 ie from 013 tonne to 057 tonnes per hectare in 2017-18 from 1970-71 But the production of food-grain in
the year 2016-17 increases only 379 times of production in 1970-71 Similarly the average yield of important crops
in Haryana shows a little increase It may be concluded that the consumption of fertilizer and pesticides are increasing
at very high rate as compared to the production of the crops

Earthquake is a tectonic event which is causedthrough the internal pressure released by the earth in the form
of seismic waves Earthquake reveals all other catastrophic events that pose threat to human life and property It is the
most hazardous phenomenon on the earth which has an impact on a very large area leading to deaths injuries and
other socio-economic and physical damage The influence of the earthquake depends mainly on its magnitude place
and time of occurrence Earthquakes can also create other hazards like volcanoes landslides and tsunamis
Approximately 30000 seismic tremors transpire each year in the world Out of these few earthquakes are of so low
magnitude that we cannot feel them while some are of high magnitude thereby causing lots of deaths and damages
The damage caused by the earthquakes depends on the three factors ie depth of the seismic focus the intensity of the
earthquake and itrsquos time of occurrenceNorthwestern Himalayan region lies in the subduction zone between the
Eurasian and Indian plate margins therefore it becomes more vulnerable to the earthquake hazard The region lies in
IV and V seismic zones which is very active In the present study an attempt has been made to analyze the spatial

spending some time on environment issues and third people are interested in information on ecological issues
provided by media so that they view or listen to the corresponding program as well as read newspaper articles or other
written publications dealing with environmental issues Television print news radio broadcast and the internet are
enlisted to help promote a ldquogreen ldquoethic and raise environmental awareness
Mass media play an important role for creating environment awareness among people These daysrsquo climate
change issues are getting the highest priority and making the headlines in print and electronic media Government and
the people depend on communication and mass Media not only for disseminating information but also in setting
agenda for the development and other allied activities
Media has the power of focusing the factor that causes environmental problems as well as adverse impacts on
people Media acts as a catalyst in enlightening the masses on issues related to climate change A section of the media
has drawn our attention on several environmental issues like Ganga River action plan chipko movement Narmada
Bachavo Andolan and Appiko movement were kept alive mainly by the coverage in various media
Media can play a great role in communication of the natural disaster of region media certain characteristics that make
them powerful instruments of disaster Communication as they provide quick and easy access to large numbers of
people located at different places It helps in highlighting the problem and difficulties faced by the people affected by
disaster
Through communication members of society share their experiences and knowledge understands each other
and generates collective wisdom Today various types of mass media enable people all over the world to interact and
learn from each other at a tremendous pace Communication with the help of mass media not only brings people but
also communities together Thus contracting the globe into the village The environment and media research

Application of Remote Sensing In Geography
Dr Pratap Singh Rajput Guest Lecturer Govt College Sarni Betul MP
Remote sensing in geology is remote sensing used in the geological sciences as a data acquisition method
complementary to field observation because it allows mapping of geological characteristics of regions without
physical contact with the areas being explored About one-fourth of the Earths total surface area is exposed land
where information is ready to be extracted from detailed earth observation via remote sensing Remote sensing is
conducted via detection of electromagnetic radiation by sensors The radiation can be naturally sourced (passive
remote sensing) or produced by machines (active remote sensing) and reflected off of the Earth surface The
electromagnetic radiation acts as an information carrier for two main variables First the intensities of reflectance at
different wavelengths are detected and plotted on a spectral reflectance curve This spectral fingerprint is governed by
the physio-chemical properties of the surface of the target object and therefore helps mineral identification and hence
geological mapping for example by hyper spectral Second the two-way travel time of radiation from and back to the
sensor can calculate the distance in active remote sensing systems for example Interferometric synthetic-aperture
radar This helps geomorphologic studies of ground motion and thus can illuminate deformations associated
with landslides earthquakes etc Remote sensing data can help studies involving geological mapping geological
hazards and economic geology (ie exploration for minerals petroleum etc) These geological studies commonly
employ a multitude of tools classified according to short to long wavelengths of the electromagnetic radiation which
various instruments are sensitive to Shorter wavelengths are generally useful for site characterization up to
mineralogical scale while longer wavelengths reveal larger scale surface information eg regional thermal anomalies
surface roughness etc Such techniques are particularly beneficial for exploration of inaccessible areas and planets
other than Earth

Environmental Impacts of Natural Disasters
Tek Chand Student of PU Patiala
It is recognized that many significant nonmarket effects result from natural disasters including environmental
impacts Though our committee had a keen interest in these topics it became clear that these impactsmdashthough often
significantmdashdid not fit easily with this studys main report and conclusions for the following reasons (1) not all
disasters result in significant ecosystem impacts (eg many earthquakes have but minor impacts on ecosystems) (2)
some extreme events have positive impacts on ecosystems (eg floods can help rejuvenate floodplain vegetation and
are important drivers of many ecological processes in floodplains) and (3) these impacts are mainly nonmarket and
are exceptionally difficult to quantify andor monetize Though there are emerging efforts in quantifying and
monetizing ecosystem services (Costanza 1997) they are in their infancy and are not yet widely accepted
Nonetheless the magnitude of the environmental impacts of many disasters compelled the committee to discuss them
and we do so in this Appendix Though no specific recommendations regarding how environmental costs should be

to devote more attention and perhaps research to these issues It is important in assessing environmental impacts to
distinguish between impacts of disasters on the natural environment from those on the human-made landscape
environment As mentioned events that societies label as natural disasters may also have beneficial ecological
consequences However these benefits tend to only manifest themselves months or years after an extreme event (eg
rejuvenation of a coniferous forest months andor years after fires) or are often not readily apparent (eg recharging
of groundwater stocks after a flood) These benefits to ecological systems are of course typically overshadowed by
immediate negative impacts on societies and structures hence the use of the term natural disasters

Soils are derived from parent rock material through the process of break-up wear and tear Soil is our prime
natural and economic resource because we derive everything that we need in our life from the soil It is the soil that
provides food both for humans and animals Soil is the most valuable wealth of the country on which the prosperity
and total agricultural products is based There are various factors such as parent material vegetation climate and slope
which affect the formation of soil The change in any one of these factors cause a change in soil types and soil
character
An intimate knowledge of soil is a prerequisite for all agricultural operations and planning The role of soil is
of paramount importance in Hisar district where it provides livelihood to 70 of the total population The Hisar
district soils have developed under the arid and humid climate over the bedrocks of complex nature predominantly
under the process of laterization The present paper deals with the various types of soil of Hisar district It also
investigates the major soil problems in the study area

Disaster Prevention and Management in India
Om Prakash Choyal Kuchaman PG College Rajasthan
India is one of the hazard prone countries in South Asia Floods droughts landslides snowstorms hurricanes
and cyclones occur regularly Among these earthquakes floods and drought risk are extremely high These hazards
threaten millions of lives and cause large scale financial infrastructure agriculture and productivity losses that
seriously hinder Indiarsquos overall development In India the primary responsibility for responding to disaster lies at the
state and the central level The GOI have a national emergency plan for disaster management some of the state also
has a disaster management plan It can be and is called upon to assist when necessary but there is a lack of awareness
in the public Many Indian States have limited resources and lack their own disaster management plans Considering
these problems this paper attempts to throw light on a more integrated and responsive disaster management system in
India This paper will provide important information in three mutually reinforcing areas viz disaster preparedness
response and rehabilitation management The various case studies for disaster management will be discussed

Water is one of the most essential natural resources for sustaining life Its development and management play
a vital role in agriculture production Integrated water management is vital for poverty reduction environmental
sustenance and sustainable economic development In view of the rapid increase in population urbanization and
industrialization the demand for water for meeting various requirements is continuously increasing Therefore we are
facing numerous challenges in the water sector which include reducing per capita water availability the decline in
groundwater table in many areas and saltwater intrusion in coastal aquifers The quality of surface water and
groundwater is also deteriorating because of increasing pollutant loads from various sources Climate change may also
adversely affect the availability and distribution of water resources This article presents an overview of relevant
issues pertaining to development and management of water resources in India

Geographic Information System (GIS) is considered as ldquoautomated systems used for capturing store retrieve
analyze and to display spatial datardquo (Clarke etal 1996) This tool is helpful in analyzing relationships between
location environment and incidences When looking into applicability of GIS both water-borne diseases and vector-
borne diseases are widely investigated topics at global level In the present scenario GIS has an ability to identify
location of specific diseases and their spatial unusual aggregation which can help different health agencies so that they
can provide facilities and prevent further growth of incidents1
The health geography is concerned with two fundamental questions that are revolves around (i) when and
where specific disease tend to occur and why specific pattern of incidence do occur In these directions substantial
growth has been found during the last decade whereas concept of ldquoplacerdquo plays a very significant role in determining
health of people It is regarded as new perspective to look into how ldquohealthrdquo of people is influence from ldquospacerdquo
(Kwan 2012) In the recent period due to development of modern tools such as Geographic Information System
(GIS) which makes it easier to conduct spatial analysis and modeling at different levels Now with these tools modern
epidemiologist and geographers can do analysis of health both spatially and temporally (Cromley and McLafferty
2011)
Water borne diseases are considered as diseases those emerge due to consumption and ingestion of
contaminated water that may contain pathogenic viruses bacteria protozoa and other chemical substances (UNO
Health Report 2003) These pathogens are transmitted into human body through using contaminated water when
utilize for domestic purposes that may responsible for viral bacteria and parasite related diseases A report by World
Health Organization (2016) on ldquoThe situation of water-related infectious diseases in the pan-European regionrdquo define
water related diseases asany substantial effect on human health such as illness disability disorders and sometime
death due to direct or indirect alteration in the quantity or quality of water2

horrible land degradation by water driven erosion The expansion of gully and ravine networks on arable land is
possessing serious socio-economic challenges to the society of this region In this study an estimation of soil erosion
has been made by using Morgan-Morgan Finney Model It has been found that the average annual soil loss rate is 760
tons hactaer2 year Due to undulating surface and high intensity of rainfall in a short spell of time transport capacity
of running water is too high in this region Although seasonal vegetation cover is a dominant protection from erosion
still erosive nature of soils and steep slope makes available big amount for erosion material here The model is used to
evaluate and identify the major zone of erosion Several schemes are applied to counter the land degradation process

Urban areas are suffering from excess hotness in summer mainly due to congested built-up structures The
problem became peculiar for cities located in hot arid conditions such as Hisar in Haryana (India) A continuous
surface of Land Surface Temperature (LST) can be extracted from Landsat thermal bands Similarly different band
combinations and ratios give a spatial pattern of land cover categories Spatiotemporal pattern of temperature in and
around the Hisar city was analyzed in the present study to assess the spatial variation in temperature in the area
Landsat TM images of May 2000 and 2016 were utilized to study the spatial-temporal thermal variations and their
relationships with land cover changes in Hisar city and surrounding area which experienced rapid urbanization in past
decades Land cover classifications were derived to quantify area-specific variations and brightness temperatures were
computed from the TM thermal data to express the urban thermal environment The spatial distributions of surface
temperature indicated that thermal variations had been largely broadened and showed good agreements with a change
in land use and land cover Temperature statistics of main land cover types indicated that built-up and bare land had
higher surface temperatures than natural land covers The findings indicated that the warming effect caused by
urbanization ie mainly where the natural landscape was replaced by urban areas

house gases in the atmosphere resulting in global warming Thus it is obvious that the environmental degradation
process unless detected early and action taken to arrest or mitigate may lead to further deterioration and may affect
sustainable development efforts which is key concern in Agenda 21 Sustainable development of natural resources
refers to maintaining a fragile balance between productivity functions and conservation practices through
identification and monitoring of problem areas and calls for optimal utilization of available natural resources based on
their potentials and limitations while maintaining a good harmony with the environment Information on the nature
extent spatial distribution along with the potentials and limitations of natural resources is a pre-requisite to achieve
the goals of sustainable development By virtue of providing synoptic view of fairly large area at a regular interval
spaceborne multispectral measurements hold great promise in generating reliable information on various natural
resources namely soils mineral surface and ground water forest cover marine resources in a timely and cost-
effective manner Geographic Information System (GIS) offers an ideal environment for integrating spatial and
attribute data on natural resources and environment and for subsequent generation of optimal land use plan on a
micro-watershed basis Furthermore Global Positioning System (GPS) enables making precise in situ measurements
on various terrain parameters which are used for both generating baseline as well as derivative information on natural
resources for various developmental activities Advancements in weather forecasting and tele-communication further
help in effective implementation of optimal land use plansaction plans An attempt has been made in this article to
provide an overview of the magnitude of the land degradation problem concepts of sustainable development based on
conservation of land and water resources and to identify sustainability indicators and to illustrate the role of remote

Disasters are not random and do not occur by accident They are the convergence of hazards and vulnerable
conditions ie disasters take place when hazards meet vulnerable situations Natural hazards such as fires floods
earthquakes and drought are part of the natural cycles of the earth When such hazards impact on vulnerable societies-
whether it is an earthquake that collapses buildings or a drought that kills crops-that society may face a catastrophic
situation requiring emergency relief and assistance to save lives and to protect the environment Natural disasters can
have a life-altering impact on the individuals families and society and at the same time the effect of natural disasters
can be felt at the community city and state level or many times these may have an impact on entire country The
impact of disasters whether it is natural or man-made not only have human dimensions but environmental ones as
well Deforestation forest management practices agriculture systems etc can exacerbate the negative environmental

impacts of a storm leading to landslides flooding silting and groundsurface water contamination Disasters create
substantial environmental degradation and ecological imbalance hinder socio-economic development and retard the
process of improving the quality of the life of people The interaction of disasters and environment has both short-term
and long-term effects These interaction and interdependencies work in a complicated way and in turn affect people
ecosystem and bio-diversity Environmental vulnerability includes the extent of natural resource depletion reduced
access to clean air safe water sanitation and inappropriate forms of waste management especially in heavily
populated and urban environments that can aggravate socio economic vulnerability Poor environmental conditions
such as diminished biodiversity soil degradation or growing food scarcity can easily threaten food security for people
dependent on the products of land forests pastures and marine environment for their livelihoods Around the globe
land use and land cover changes are eroding the natural buffers that protect communities from hazard risk These same
changes often erode capacity of people to recover from disaster However there are several opportunities to reduce
disaster risk and enhance community resilience A comprehensive understanding of natural systems coupled with the
application of management tools such as environmental evaluation and risk assessment can make a major contribution
to the reduction of risks and mitigation of any impacts There is also a need to explore the link between environmental
systems amp disasters and also the synergies between man-made and natural disasters Changing ecological conditions
can provoke emergencies by placing concurrent stresses on the environment Mitigating the effects of disasters are
primary components in global efforts to ensure environmental security It is clear that further co-ordination and co-
operation on environmental matters depends on the ability of global community to set an environmental agenda for
disaster management and in particular to pay attention to the environmental conditions that lead to disasters and to
natural resource management for disaster prevention and reduction

Eco-friendly means not harmful to our system of environment ie not harmful to land air etc Presently due
to agriculture mainly a lot of pollutants are added day by day in our environment Because of these pollutants the soil
fertility is decreasing the fear of disease in living beings are increasing a lot of poisons chemicals and gases prevails
in the environment There is a great need to the use such a cropping system which is suitable to environment ie Eco-
friendly system of cropping The Eco-friendless of cropping system may be viewed from two different angles ie
systems which help in soil and water conservation and system which reduce the use of pesticides insecticides
herbicides organic fertilizers As far as the pesticides use is concerned at national level it is a still for below the
alarming proportions Inclusion of such crops in the cropping systems in problem areas can play a significant role in
minimizing the use of agro-chemicals in the crop production
In Haryana the use of fertilizer is increasing at a very high rate The use of fertilizers (N P K) has increased
1963 times in 2017-18 from 1970-71 The use of pesticides was also increased from 976 times in 2017-18 from
1970-71 ie from 013 tonne to 057 tonnes per hectare in 2017-18 from 1970-71 But the production of food-grain in
the year 2016-17 increases only 379 times of production in 1970-71 Similarly the average yield of important crops
in Haryana shows a little increase It may be concluded that the consumption of fertilizer and pesticides are increasing
at very high rate as compared to the production of the crops

Earthquake is a tectonic event which is causedthrough the internal pressure released by the earth in the form
of seismic waves Earthquake reveals all other catastrophic events that pose threat to human life and property It is the
most hazardous phenomenon on the earth which has an impact on a very large area leading to deaths injuries and
other socio-economic and physical damage The influence of the earthquake depends mainly on its magnitude place
and time of occurrence Earthquakes can also create other hazards like volcanoes landslides and tsunamis
Approximately 30000 seismic tremors transpire each year in the world Out of these few earthquakes are of so low
magnitude that we cannot feel them while some are of high magnitude thereby causing lots of deaths and damages
The damage caused by the earthquakes depends on the three factors ie depth of the seismic focus the intensity of the
earthquake and itrsquos time of occurrenceNorthwestern Himalayan region lies in the subduction zone between the
Eurasian and Indian plate margins therefore it becomes more vulnerable to the earthquake hazard The region lies in
IV and V seismic zones which is very active In the present study an attempt has been made to analyze the spatial
pattern of earthquakes occurrence in northwest Himalayan region of India

Mass media is one of the most important factors underlying the knowledge of environment problem This can
only be true on the condition that first mass media are accessible to large proportion of the population second are
spending some time on environment issues and third people are interested in information on ecological issues
provided by media so that they view or listen to the corresponding program as well as read newspaper articles or other
written publications dealing with environmental issues Television print news radio broadcast and the internet are
enlisted to help promote a ldquogreen ldquoethic and raise environmental awareness
Mass media play an important role for creating environment awareness among people These daysrsquo climate
change issues are getting the highest priority and making the headlines in print and electronic media Government and
the people depend on communication and mass Media not only for disseminating information but also in setting
agenda for the development and other allied activities
Media has the power of focusing the factor that causes environmental problems as well as adverse impacts on
people Media acts as a catalyst in enlightening the masses on issues related to climate change A section of the media
has drawn our attention on several environmental issues like Ganga River action plan chipko movement Narmada
Bachavo Andolan and Appiko movement were kept alive mainly by the coverage in various media
Media can play a great role in communication of the natural disaster of region media certain characteristics that make
them powerful instruments of disaster Communication as they provide quick and easy access to large numbers of
people located at different places It helps in highlighting the problem and difficulties faced by the people affected by
disaster
Through communication members of society share their experiences and knowledge understands each other
and generates collective wisdom Today various types of mass media enable people all over the world to interact and
learn from each other at a tremendous pace Communication with the help of mass media not only brings people but

Dr Pratap Singh Rajput Guest Lecturer Govt College Sarni Betul MP
Remote sensing in geology is remote sensing used in the geological sciences as a data acquisition method
complementary to field observation because it allows mapping of geological characteristics of regions without
physical contact with the areas being explored About one-fourth of the Earths total surface area is exposed land
where information is ready to be extracted from detailed earth observation via remote sensing Remote sensing is
conducted via detection of electromagnetic radiation by sensors The radiation can be naturally sourced (passive
remote sensing) or produced by machines (active remote sensing) and reflected off of the Earth surface The
electromagnetic radiation acts as an information carrier for two main variables First the intensities of reflectance at
different wavelengths are detected and plotted on a spectral reflectance curve This spectral fingerprint is governed by
the physio-chemical properties of the surface of the target object and therefore helps mineral identification and hence
geological mapping for example by hyper spectral Second the two-way travel time of radiation from and back to the
sensor can calculate the distance in active remote sensing systems for example Interferometric synthetic-aperture
radar This helps geomorphologic studies of ground motion and thus can illuminate deformations associated
with landslides earthquakes etc Remote sensing data can help studies involving geological mapping geological
hazards and economic geology (ie exploration for minerals petroleum etc) These geological studies commonly
employ a multitude of tools classified according to short to long wavelengths of the electromagnetic radiation which
various instruments are sensitive to Shorter wavelengths are generally useful for site characterization up to
mineralogical scale while longer wavelengths reveal larger scale surface information eg regional thermal anomalies
surface roughness etc Such techniques are particularly beneficial for exploration of inaccessible areas and planets
other than Earth

Application of Geospatial Technology in Monitoring Forest Cover Change An Indian Perspective
Dr Shweta Rani Assistant Professor Department of Geography Dyal Singh College DU New Delhi
A rapidly emerging menace ie deforestation is a big concern and challenge not only before India but across
the world and poses a threat to the sustainable development of mankind Forest resource is renewable resources and is
prominent geographic feature at the global level supporting living organisms of various forms Forest is defined as a
community of living trees and associated organisms which covers a considerable area It usually refers to all lands
more than one hectare in area with a tree canopy density of more than 10 percent irrespective of ownership and legal
status India is one of the ten most forest-rich countries of the world Forestry in India is a significant rural industry
and a major environmental resource But ironically the rate of deforestation in India is alarmingly high to suit a
variety of needs especially to fulfill the agricultural pursuits
In light of preceding discussion the present study will examine and unravel the regional patterns of
deforestation in India In particular the study intends to analyze and explore the extent trends magnitude and
distributional pattern of deforestation across various regions and states and their accuracy assessments for two
different time periods ie 2015 and 2017 The Forest Survey of India and the National Remote Sensing Agency
(NRSA) are two major source providing data for forest cover in India based on interpretation of satellite data The
changes in area under forest have depicted through a change matrix and accuracy assessments of classification of
forest cover have been attempted through Kappa Co-efficient It is a multi-variate technique providing a statistic

The environment is something we are very familiar with Its everything that makes up our surroundings and
affects our ability to live on the earth-the air we breathe the water that covers most of the earths surface The
Environment that consists of everything surrounding us is becoming a major problem day by day This paper attempts
to highlight the role that Media has played in setting perceptions and creating awareness on environmental issues In
the past decades sustainability and environmental awareness have gained media attention Due to increasing media
coverage our society is becoming more aware of the effects that our activities put on the health of the environment In
this regard the media has a big role to play in making people aware of environment issues Most recent steps by the
Government of India for promoting sanitation lsquoSwachchha Bharat Abhiyanrsquo has got success by the united efforts of
the Government and media Media has always covered social and environmental issues thus it is the most

Water is one of the most essential natural resources for sustaining life Its development and
management play a vital role in agriculture production Integrated water management is vital for poverty
reduction environmental sustenance and sustainable economic development In view of the rapid increase
in population urbanization and industrialization the demand for water for meeting various requirements is
continuously increasing Therefore we are facing numerous challenges in the water sector which include
reducing per capita water availability the decline in groundwater table in many areas and saltwater
intrusion in coastal aquifers The quality of surface water and groundwater is also deteriorating because of
increasing pollutant loads from various sources Climate change may also adversely affect the availability
and distribution of water resources This article presents an overview of relevant issues pertaining to

Environmental Impacts of Natural Disasters
Tek Chand Student of PU Patiala
It is recognized that many significant nonmarket effects result from natural disasters including environmental
impacts Though our committee had a keen interest in these topics it became clear that these impactsmdashthough often
significantmdashdid not fit easily with this studys main report and conclusions for the following reasons (1) not all
disasters result in significant ecosystem impacts (eg many earthquakes have but minor impacts on ecosystems) (2)
some extreme events have positive impacts on ecosystems (eg floods can help rejuvenate floodplain vegetation and
are important drivers of many ecological processes in floodplains) and (3) these impacts are mainly nonmarket and
are exceptionally difficult to quantify andor monetize Though there are emerging efforts in quantifying and
monetizing ecosystem services (Costanza 1997) they are in their infancy and are not yet widely accepted
Nonetheless the magnitude of the environmental impacts of many disasters compelled the committee to discuss them
and we do so in this Appendix Though no specific recommendations regarding how environmental costs should be
incorporated in loss estimates we provide here we encourage policymakers in the relevant executive branch agencies

to devote more attention and perhaps research to these issues It is important in assessing environmental impacts to
distinguish between impacts of disasters on the natural environment from those on the human-made landscape
environment As mentioned events that societies label as natural disasters may also have beneficial ecological
consequences However these benefits tend to only manifest themselves months or years after an extreme event (eg
rejuvenation of a coniferous forest months andor years after fires) or are often not readily apparent (eg recharging
of groundwater stocks after a flood) These benefits to ecological systems are of course typically overshadowed by
immediate negative impacts on societies and structures hence the use of the term natural disasters

Soils are derived from parent rock material through the process of break-up wear and tear Soil is our prime
natural and economic resource because we derive everything that we need in our life from the soil It is the soil that
provides food both for humans and animals Soil is the most valuable wealth of the country on which the prosperity
and total agricultural products is based There are various factors such as parent material vegetation climate and slope
which affect the formation of soil The change in any one of these factors cause a change in soil types and soil
character
An intimate knowledge of soil is a prerequisite for all agricultural operations and planning The role of soil is
of paramount importance in Hisar district where it provides livelihood to 70 of the total population The Hisar
district soils have developed under the arid and humid climate over the bedrocks of complex nature predominantly

Geographic Information System (GIS) is considered as ldquoautomated systems used for capturing store retrieve
analyze and to display spatial datardquo (Clarke etal 1996) This tool is helpful in analyzing relationships between
location environment and incidences When looking into applicability of GIS both water-borne diseases and vector-
borne diseases are widely investigated topics at global level In the present scenario GIS has an ability to identify
location of specific diseases and their spatial unusual aggregation which can help different health agencies so that they
can provide facilities and prevent further growth of incidents1
The health geography is concerned with two fundamental questions that are revolves around (i) when and
where specific disease tend to occur and why specific pattern of incidence do occur In these directions substantial
growth has been found during the last decade whereas concept of ldquoplacerdquo plays a very significant role in determining
health of people It is regarded as new perspective to look into how ldquohealthrdquo of people is influence from ldquospacerdquo
(Kwan 2012) In the recent period due to development of modern tools such as Geographic Information System
(GIS) which makes it easier to conduct spatial analysis and modeling at different levels Now with these tools modern
epidemiologist and geographers can do analysis of health both spatially and temporally (Cromley and McLafferty
2011)
Water borne diseases are considered as diseases those emerge due to consumption and ingestion of
contaminated water that may contain pathogenic viruses bacteria protozoa and other chemical substances (UNO
Health Report 2003) These pathogens are transmitted into human body through using contaminated water when
utilize for domestic purposes that may responsible for viral bacteria and parasite related diseases A report by World
Health Organization (2016) on ldquoThe situation of water-related infectious diseases in the pan-European regionrdquo define
water related diseases asany substantial effect on human health such as illness disability disorders and sometime
death due to direct or indirect alteration in the quantity or quality of water2

Urban areas are suffering from excess hotness in summer mainly due to congested built-up structures The
problem became peculiar for cities located in hot arid conditions such as Hisar in Haryana (India) A continuous
surface of Land Surface Temperature (LST) can be extracted from Landsat thermal bands Similarly different band
combinations and ratios give a spatial pattern of land cover categories Spatiotemporal pattern of temperature in and
around the Hisar city was analyzed in the present study to assess the spatial variation in temperature in the area
Landsat TM images of May 2000 and 2016 were utilized to study the spatial-temporal thermal variations and their
relationships with land cover changes in Hisar city and surrounding area which experienced rapid urbanization in past
decades Land cover classifications were derived to quantify area-specific variations and brightness temperatures were
computed from the TM thermal data to express the urban thermal environment The spatial distributions of surface
temperature indicated that thermal variations had been largely broadened and showed good agreements with a change
in land use and land cover Temperature statistics of main land cover types indicated that built-up and bare land had
higher surface temperatures than natural land covers The findings indicated that the warming effect caused by
urbanization ie mainly where the natural landscape was replaced by urban areas

house gases in the atmosphere resulting in global warming Thus it is obvious that the environmental degradation
process unless detected early and action taken to arrest or mitigate may lead to further deterioration and may affect
sustainable development efforts which is key concern in Agenda 21 Sustainable development of natural resources
refers to maintaining a fragile balance between productivity functions and conservation practices through
identification and monitoring of problem areas and calls for optimal utilization of available natural resources based on
their potentials and limitations while maintaining a good harmony with the environment Information on the nature
extent spatial distribution along with the potentials and limitations of natural resources is a pre-requisite to achieve
the goals of sustainable development By virtue of providing synoptic view of fairly large area at a regular interval
spaceborne multispectral measurements hold great promise in generating reliable information on various natural
resources namely soils mineral surface and ground water forest cover marine resources in a timely and cost-
effective manner Geographic Information System (GIS) offers an ideal environment for integrating spatial and
attribute data on natural resources and environment and for subsequent generation of optimal land use plan on a

Disasters are not random and do not occur by accident They are the convergence of hazards and vulnerable
conditions ie disasters take place when hazards meet vulnerable situations Natural hazards such as fires floods
earthquakes and drought are part of the natural cycles of the earth When such hazards impact on vulnerable societies-
whether it is an earthquake that collapses buildings or a drought that kills crops-that society may face a catastrophic
situation requiring emergency relief and assistance to save lives and to protect the environment Natural disasters can
have a life-altering impact on the individuals families and society and at the same time the effect of natural disasters
can be felt at the community city and state level or many times these may have an impact on entire country The
impact of disasters whether it is natural or man-made not only have human dimensions but environmental ones as
well Deforestation forest management practices agriculture systems etc can exacerbate the negative environmental

impacts of a storm leading to landslides flooding silting and groundsurface water contamination Disasters create
substantial environmental degradation and ecological imbalance hinder socio-economic development and retard the
process of improving the quality of the life of people The interaction of disasters and environment has both short-term
and long-term effects These interaction and interdependencies work in a complicated way and in turn affect people
ecosystem and bio-diversity Environmental vulnerability includes the extent of natural resource depletion reduced
access to clean air safe water sanitation and inappropriate forms of waste management especially in heavily
populated and urban environments that can aggravate socio economic vulnerability Poor environmental conditions
such as diminished biodiversity soil degradation or growing food scarcity can easily threaten food security for people
dependent on the products of land forests pastures and marine environment for their livelihoods Around the globe
land use and land cover changes are eroding the natural buffers that protect communities from hazard risk These same
changes often erode capacity of people to recover from disaster However there are several opportunities to reduce
disaster risk and enhance community resilience A comprehensive understanding of natural systems coupled with the
application of management tools such as environmental evaluation and risk assessment can make a major contribution
to the reduction of risks and mitigation of any impacts There is also a need to explore the link between environmental
systems amp disasters and also the synergies between man-made and natural disasters Changing ecological conditions
can provoke emergencies by placing concurrent stresses on the environment Mitigating the effects of disasters are
primary components in global efforts to ensure environmental security It is clear that further co-ordination and co-
operation on environmental matters depends on the ability of global community to set an environmental agenda for
disaster management and in particular to pay attention to the environmental conditions that lead to disasters and to
natural resource management for disaster prevention and reduction

Eco-friendly means not harmful to our system of environment ie not harmful to land air etc Presently due
to agriculture mainly a lot of pollutants are added day by day in our environment Because of these pollutants the soil
fertility is decreasing the fear of disease in living beings are increasing a lot of poisons chemicals and gases prevails
in the environment There is a great need to the use such a cropping system which is suitable to environment ie Eco-
friendly system of cropping The Eco-friendless of cropping system may be viewed from two different angles ie
systems which help in soil and water conservation and system which reduce the use of pesticides insecticides
herbicides organic fertilizers As far as the pesticides use is concerned at national level it is a still for below the
alarming proportions Inclusion of such crops in the cropping systems in problem areas can play a significant role in
minimizing the use of agro-chemicals in the crop production
In Haryana the use of fertilizer is increasing at a very high rate The use of fertilizers (N P K) has increased
1963 times in 2017-18 from 1970-71 The use of pesticides was also increased from 976 times in 2017-18 from
1970-71 ie from 013 tonne to 057 tonnes per hectare in 2017-18 from 1970-71 But the production of food-grain in
the year 2016-17 increases only 379 times of production in 1970-71 Similarly the average yield of important crops
in Haryana shows a little increase It may be concluded that the consumption of fertilizer and pesticides are increasing
at very high rate as compared to the production of the crops

Indora Suraj Rajkumar Deepak Saini amp Nachita Kumari Research Scholar Dept of Geography
Kurukshetra University
Earthquake is a tectonic event which is causedthrough the internal pressure released by the earth in the form
of seismic waves Earthquake reveals all other catastrophic events that pose threat to human life and property It is the
most hazardous phenomenon on the earth which has an impact on a very large area leading to deaths injuries and
other socio-economic and physical damage The influence of the earthquake depends mainly on its magnitude place
and time of occurrence Earthquakes can also create other hazards like volcanoes landslides and tsunamis
Approximately 30000 seismic tremors transpire each year in the world Out of these few earthquakes are of so low
magnitude that we cannot feel them while some are of high magnitude thereby causing lots of deaths and damages
The damage caused by the earthquakes depends on the three factors ie depth of the seismic focus the intensity of the
earthquake and itrsquos time of occurrenceNorthwestern Himalayan region lies in the subduction zone between the
Eurasian and Indian plate margins therefore it becomes more vulnerable to the earthquake hazard The region lies in
IV and V seismic zones which is very active In the present study an attempt has been made to analyze the spatial
pattern of earthquakes occurrence in northwest Himalayan region of India

Media and Environment
Sangeeta Mahana Research scholar Jayoti Vidyapeeth Womenrsquos University Jaipur
Mass media is one of the most important factors underlying the knowledge of environment problem This can
only be true on the condition that first mass media are accessible to large proportion of the population second are
spending some time on environment issues and third people are interested in information on ecological issues
provided by media so that they view or listen to the corresponding program as well as read newspaper articles or other
written publications dealing with environmental issues Television print news radio broadcast and the internet are
enlisted to help promote a ldquogreen ldquoethic and raise environmental awareness
Mass media play an important role for creating environment awareness among people These daysrsquo climate
change issues are getting the highest priority and making the headlines in print and electronic media Government and
the people depend on communication and mass Media not only for disseminating information but also in setting
agenda for the development and other allied activities
Media has the power of focusing the factor that causes environmental problems as well as adverse impacts on
people Media acts as a catalyst in enlightening the masses on issues related to climate change A section of the media
has drawn our attention on several environmental issues like Ganga River action plan chipko movement Narmada
Bachavo Andolan and Appiko movement were kept alive mainly by the coverage in various media
Media can play a great role in communication of the natural disaster of region media certain characteristics that make
them powerful instruments of disaster Communication as they provide quick and easy access to large numbers of
people located at different places It helps in highlighting the problem and difficulties faced by the people affected by
disaster
Through communication members of society share their experiences and knowledge understands each other
and generates collective wisdom Today various types of mass media enable people all over the world to interact and
learn from each other at a tremendous pace Communication with the help of mass media not only brings people but
also communities together Thus contracting the globe into the village The environment and media research
programs are made up of researchers from across film and screen studies media and communications and journalism

Application of Remote Sensing In Geography
Dr Pratap Singh Rajput Guest Lecturer Govt College Sarni Betul MP
Remote sensing in geology is remote sensing used in the geological sciences as a data acquisition method
complementary to field observation because it allows mapping of geological characteristics of regions without
physical contact with the areas being explored About one-fourth of the Earths total surface area is exposed land
where information is ready to be extracted from detailed earth observation via remote sensing Remote sensing is
conducted via detection of electromagnetic radiation by sensors The radiation can be naturally sourced (passive
remote sensing) or produced by machines (active remote sensing) and reflected off of the Earth surface The
electromagnetic radiation acts as an information carrier for two main variables First the intensities of reflectance at
different wavelengths are detected and plotted on a spectral reflectance curve This spectral fingerprint is governed by
the physio-chemical properties of the surface of the target object and therefore helps mineral identification and hence
geological mapping for example by hyper spectral Second the two-way travel time of radiation from and back to the
sensor can calculate the distance in active remote sensing systems for example Interferometric synthetic-aperture
radar This helps geomorphologic studies of ground motion and thus can illuminate deformations associated
with landslides earthquakes etc Remote sensing data can help studies involving geological mapping geological
hazards and economic geology (ie exploration for minerals petroleum etc) These geological studies commonly
employ a multitude of tools classified according to short to long wavelengths of the electromagnetic radiation which
various instruments are sensitive to Shorter wavelengths are generally useful for site characterization up to
mineralogical scale while longer wavelengths reveal larger scale surface information eg regional thermal anomalies
surface roughness etc Such techniques are particularly beneficial for exploration of inaccessible areas and planets
other than Earth

Environmental Impacts of Natural Disasters
Tek Chand Student of PU Patiala
It is recognized that many significant nonmarket effects result from natural disasters including environmental
impacts Though our committee had a keen interest in these topics it became clear that these impactsmdashthough often
significantmdashdid not fit easily with this studys main report and conclusions for the following reasons (1) not all
disasters result in significant ecosystem impacts (eg many earthquakes have but minor impacts on ecosystems) (2)
some extreme events have positive impacts on ecosystems (eg floods can help rejuvenate floodplain vegetation and
are important drivers of many ecological processes in floodplains) and (3) these impacts are mainly nonmarket and
are exceptionally difficult to quantify andor monetize Though there are emerging efforts in quantifying and
monetizing ecosystem services (Costanza 1997) they are in their infancy and are not yet widely accepted
Nonetheless the magnitude of the environmental impacts of many disasters compelled the committee to discuss them
and we do so in this Appendix Though no specific recommendations regarding how environmental costs should be
incorporated in loss estimates we provide here we encourage policymakers in the relevant executive branch agencies

to devote more attention and perhaps research to these issues It is important in assessing environmental impacts to
distinguish between impacts of disasters on the natural environment from those on the human-made landscape
environment As mentioned events that societies label as natural disasters may also have beneficial ecological
consequences However these benefits tend to only manifest themselves months or years after an extreme event (eg
rejuvenation of a coniferous forest months andor years after fires) or are often not readily apparent (eg recharging
of groundwater stocks after a flood) These benefits to ecological systems are of course typically overshadowed by
immediate negative impacts on societies and structures hence the use of the term natural disasters

Geographic Information System (GIS) is considered as ldquoautomated systems used for capturing store retrieve
analyze and to display spatial datardquo (Clarke etal 1996) This tool is helpful in analyzing relationships between
location environment and incidences When looking into applicability of GIS both water-borne diseases and vector-
borne diseases are widely investigated topics at global level In the present scenario GIS has an ability to identify
location of specific diseases and their spatial unusual aggregation which can help different health agencies so that they
can provide facilities and prevent further growth of incidents1
The health geography is concerned with two fundamental questions that are revolves around (i) when and
where specific disease tend to occur and why specific pattern of incidence do occur In these directions substantial
growth has been found during the last decade whereas concept of ldquoplacerdquo plays a very significant role in determining
health of people It is regarded as new perspective to look into how ldquohealthrdquo of people is influence from ldquospacerdquo
(Kwan 2012) In the recent period due to development of modern tools such as Geographic Information System
(GIS) which makes it easier to conduct spatial analysis and modeling at different levels Now with these tools modern
epidemiologist and geographers can do analysis of health both spatially and temporally (Cromley and McLafferty
2011)
Water borne diseases are considered as diseases those emerge due to consumption and ingestion of
contaminated water that may contain pathogenic viruses bacteria protozoa and other chemical substances (UNO
Health Report 2003) These pathogens are transmitted into human body through using contaminated water when
utilize for domestic purposes that may responsible for viral bacteria and parasite related diseases A report by World
Health Organization (2016) on ldquoThe situation of water-related infectious diseases in the pan-European regionrdquo define
water related diseases asany substantial effect on human health such as illness disability disorders and sometime
death due to direct or indirect alteration in the quantity or quality of water2

process unless detected early and action taken to arrest or mitigate may lead to further deterioration and may affect
sustainable development efforts which is key concern in Agenda 21 Sustainable development of natural resources
refers to maintaining a fragile balance between productivity functions and conservation practices through
identification and monitoring of problem areas and calls for optimal utilization of available natural resources based on
their potentials and limitations while maintaining a good harmony with the environment Information on the nature
extent spatial distribution along with the potentials and limitations of natural resources is a pre-requisite to achieve
the goals of sustainable development By virtue of providing synoptic view of fairly large area at a regular interval
spaceborne multispectral measurements hold great promise in generating reliable information on various natural
resources namely soils mineral surface and ground water forest cover marine resources in a timely and cost-
effective manner Geographic Information System (GIS) offers an ideal environment for integrating spatial and

Disasters are not random and do not occur by accident They are the convergence of hazards and vulnerable
conditions ie disasters take place when hazards meet vulnerable situations Natural hazards such as fires floods
earthquakes and drought are part of the natural cycles of the earth When such hazards impact on vulnerable societies-
whether it is an earthquake that collapses buildings or a drought that kills crops-that society may face a catastrophic
situation requiring emergency relief and assistance to save lives and to protect the environment Natural disasters can
have a life-altering impact on the individuals families and society and at the same time the effect of natural disasters
can be felt at the community city and state level or many times these may have an impact on entire country The
impact of disasters whether it is natural or man-made not only have human dimensions but environmental ones as
well Deforestation forest management practices agriculture systems etc can exacerbate the negative environmental

impacts of a storm leading to landslides flooding silting and groundsurface water contamination Disasters create
substantial environmental degradation and ecological imbalance hinder socio-economic development and retard the
process of improving the quality of the life of people The interaction of disasters and environment has both short-term
and long-term effects These interaction and interdependencies work in a complicated way and in turn affect people
ecosystem and bio-diversity Environmental vulnerability includes the extent of natural resource depletion reduced
access to clean air safe water sanitation and inappropriate forms of waste management especially in heavily
populated and urban environments that can aggravate socio economic vulnerability Poor environmental conditions
such as diminished biodiversity soil degradation or growing food scarcity can easily threaten food security for people
dependent on the products of land forests pastures and marine environment for their livelihoods Around the globe
land use and land cover changes are eroding the natural buffers that protect communities from hazard risk These same
changes often erode capacity of people to recover from disaster However there are several opportunities to reduce
disaster risk and enhance community resilience A comprehensive understanding of natural systems coupled with the
application of management tools such as environmental evaluation and risk assessment can make a major contribution
to the reduction of risks and mitigation of any impacts There is also a need to explore the link between environmental
systems amp disasters and also the synergies between man-made and natural disasters Changing ecological conditions
can provoke emergencies by placing concurrent stresses on the environment Mitigating the effects of disasters are
primary components in global efforts to ensure environmental security It is clear that further co-ordination and co-
operation on environmental matters depends on the ability of global community to set an environmental agenda for
disaster management and in particular to pay attention to the environmental conditions that lead to disasters and to

friendly system of cropping The Eco-friendless of cropping system may be viewed from two different angles ie
systems which help in soil and water conservation and system which reduce the use of pesticides insecticides
herbicides organic fertilizers As far as the pesticides use is concerned at national level it is a still for below the
alarming proportions Inclusion of such crops in the cropping systems in problem areas can play a significant role in
minimizing the use of agro-chemicals in the crop production
In Haryana the use of fertilizer is increasing at a very high rate The use of fertilizers (N P K) has increased
1963 times in 2017-18 from 1970-71 The use of pesticides was also increased from 976 times in 2017-18 from
1970-71 ie from 013 tonne to 057 tonnes per hectare in 2017-18 from 1970-71 But the production of food-grain in
the year 2016-17 increases only 379 times of production in 1970-71 Similarly the average yield of important crops
in Haryana shows a little increase It may be concluded that the consumption of fertilizer and pesticides are increasing
at very high rate as compared to the production of the crops

Earthquake is a tectonic event which is causedthrough the internal pressure released by the earth in the form
of seismic waves Earthquake reveals all other catastrophic events that pose threat to human life and property It is the
most hazardous phenomenon on the earth which has an impact on a very large area leading to deaths injuries and
other socio-economic and physical damage The influence of the earthquake depends mainly on its magnitude place
and time of occurrence Earthquakes can also create other hazards like volcanoes landslides and tsunamis
Approximately 30000 seismic tremors transpire each year in the world Out of these few earthquakes are of so low
magnitude that we cannot feel them while some are of high magnitude thereby causing lots of deaths and damages
The damage caused by the earthquakes depends on the three factors ie depth of the seismic focus the intensity of the
earthquake and itrsquos time of occurrenceNorthwestern Himalayan region lies in the subduction zone between the
Eurasian and Indian plate margins therefore it becomes more vulnerable to the earthquake hazard The region lies in
IV and V seismic zones which is very active In the present study an attempt has been made to analyze the spatial
pattern of earthquakes occurrence in northwest Himalayan region of India

Media and Environment
Sangeeta Mahana Research scholar Jayoti Vidyapeeth Womenrsquos University Jaipur
Mass media is one of the most important factors underlying the knowledge of environment problem This can
only be true on the condition that first mass media are accessible to large proportion of the population second are
spending some time on environment issues and third people are interested in information on ecological issues
provided by media so that they view or listen to the corresponding program as well as read newspaper articles or other
written publications dealing with environmental issues Television print news radio broadcast and the internet are
enlisted to help promote a ldquogreen ldquoethic and raise environmental awareness
Mass media play an important role for creating environment awareness among people These daysrsquo climate
change issues are getting the highest priority and making the headlines in print and electronic media Government and
the people depend on communication and mass Media not only for disseminating information but also in setting
agenda for the development and other allied activities
Media has the power of focusing the factor that causes environmental problems as well as adverse impacts on
people Media acts as a catalyst in enlightening the masses on issues related to climate change A section of the media
has drawn our attention on several environmental issues like Ganga River action plan chipko movement Narmada
Bachavo Andolan and Appiko movement were kept alive mainly by the coverage in various media
Media can play a great role in communication of the natural disaster of region media certain characteristics that make
them powerful instruments of disaster Communication as they provide quick and easy access to large numbers of
people located at different places It helps in highlighting the problem and difficulties faced by the people affected by
disaster
Through communication members of society share their experiences and knowledge understands each other
and generates collective wisdom Today various types of mass media enable people all over the world to interact and
learn from each other at a tremendous pace Communication with the help of mass media not only brings people but
also communities together Thus contracting the globe into the village The environment and media research
programs are made up of researchers from across film and screen studies media and communications and journalism

Application of Remote Sensing In Geography
Dr Pratap Singh Rajput Guest Lecturer Govt College Sarni Betul MP
Remote sensing in geology is remote sensing used in the geological sciences as a data acquisition method
complementary to field observation because it allows mapping of geological characteristics of regions without
physical contact with the areas being explored About one-fourth of the Earths total surface area is exposed land
where information is ready to be extracted from detailed earth observation via remote sensing Remote sensing is
conducted via detection of electromagnetic radiation by sensors The radiation can be naturally sourced (passive
remote sensing) or produced by machines (active remote sensing) and reflected off of the Earth surface The
electromagnetic radiation acts as an information carrier for two main variables First the intensities of reflectance at
different wavelengths are detected and plotted on a spectral reflectance curve This spectral fingerprint is governed by
the physio-chemical properties of the surface of the target object and therefore helps mineral identification and hence
geological mapping for example by hyper spectral Second the two-way travel time of radiation from and back to the
sensor can calculate the distance in active remote sensing systems for example Interferometric synthetic-aperture
radar This helps geomorphologic studies of ground motion and thus can illuminate deformations associated
with landslides earthquakes etc Remote sensing data can help studies involving geological mapping geological
hazards and economic geology (ie exploration for minerals petroleum etc) These geological studies commonly
employ a multitude of tools classified according to short to long wavelengths of the electromagnetic radiation which
various instruments are sensitive to Shorter wavelengths are generally useful for site characterization up to
mineralogical scale while longer wavelengths reveal larger scale surface information eg regional thermal anomalies
surface roughness etc Such techniques are particularly beneficial for exploration of inaccessible areas and planets
other than Earth

A rapidly emerging menace ie deforestation is a big concern and challenge not only before India but across
the world and poses a threat to the sustainable development of mankind Forest resource is renewable resources and is
prominent geographic feature at the global level supporting living organisms of various forms Forest is defined as a
community of living trees and associated organisms which covers a considerable area It usually refers to all lands
more than one hectare in area with a tree canopy density of more than 10 percent irrespective of ownership and legal
status India is one of the ten most forest-rich countries of the world Forestry in India is a significant rural industry
and a major environmental resource But ironically the rate of deforestation in India is alarmingly high to suit a
variety of needs especially to fulfill the agricultural pursuits

Environmental Impacts of Natural Disasters
Tek Chand Student of PU Patiala
It is recognized that many significant nonmarket effects result from natural disasters including environmental
impacts Though our committee had a keen interest in these topics it became clear that these impactsmdashthough often
significantmdashdid not fit easily with this studys main report and conclusions for the following reasons (1) not all
disasters result in significant ecosystem impacts (eg many earthquakes have but minor impacts on ecosystems) (2)
some extreme events have positive impacts on ecosystems (eg floods can help rejuvenate floodplain vegetation and
are important drivers of many ecological processes in floodplains) and (3) these impacts are mainly nonmarket and
are exceptionally difficult to quantify andor monetize Though there are emerging efforts in quantifying and
monetizing ecosystem services (Costanza 1997) they are in their infancy and are not yet widely accepted
Nonetheless the magnitude of the environmental impacts of many disasters compelled the committee to discuss them
and we do so in this Appendix Though no specific recommendations regarding how environmental costs should be
incorporated in loss estimates we provide here we encourage policymakers in the relevant executive branch agencies

to devote more attention and perhaps research to these issues It is important in assessing environmental impacts to
distinguish between impacts of disasters on the natural environment from those on the human-made landscape
environment As mentioned events that societies label as natural disasters may also have beneficial ecological
consequences However these benefits tend to only manifest themselves months or years after an extreme event (eg
rejuvenation of a coniferous forest months andor years after fires) or are often not readily apparent (eg recharging
of groundwater stocks after a flood) These benefits to ecological systems are of course typically overshadowed by
immediate negative impacts on societies and structures hence the use of the term natural disasters

Geographic Information System (GIS) is considered as ldquoautomated systems used for capturing store retrieve
analyze and to display spatial datardquo (Clarke etal 1996) This tool is helpful in analyzing relationships between
location environment and incidences When looking into applicability of GIS both water-borne diseases and vector-
borne diseases are widely investigated topics at global level In the present scenario GIS has an ability to identify
location of specific diseases and their spatial unusual aggregation which can help different health agencies so that they
can provide facilities and prevent further growth of incidents1
The health geography is concerned with two fundamental questions that are revolves around (i) when and
where specific disease tend to occur and why specific pattern of incidence do occur In these directions substantial
growth has been found during the last decade whereas concept of ldquoplacerdquo plays a very significant role in determining
health of people It is regarded as new perspective to look into how ldquohealthrdquo of people is influence from ldquospacerdquo
(Kwan 2012) In the recent period due to development of modern tools such as Geographic Information System
(GIS) which makes it easier to conduct spatial analysis and modeling at different levels Now with these tools modern
epidemiologist and geographers can do analysis of health both spatially and temporally (Cromley and McLafferty
2011)
Water borne diseases are considered as diseases those emerge due to consumption and ingestion of
contaminated water that may contain pathogenic viruses bacteria protozoa and other chemical substances (UNO
Health Report 2003) These pathogens are transmitted into human body through using contaminated water when
utilize for domestic purposes that may responsible for viral bacteria and parasite related diseases A report by World
Health Organization (2016) on ldquoThe situation of water-related infectious diseases in the pan-European regionrdquo define
water related diseases asany substantial effect on human health such as illness disability disorders and sometime
death due to direct or indirect alteration in the quantity or quality of water2

impacts of a storm leading to landslides flooding silting and groundsurface water contamination Disasters create
substantial environmental degradation and ecological imbalance hinder socio-economic development and retard the
process of improving the quality of the life of people The interaction of disasters and environment has both short-term
and long-term effects These interaction and interdependencies work in a complicated way and in turn affect people
ecosystem and bio-diversity Environmental vulnerability includes the extent of natural resource depletion reduced
access to clean air safe water sanitation and inappropriate forms of waste management especially in heavily
populated and urban environments that can aggravate socio economic vulnerability Poor environmental conditions
such as diminished biodiversity soil degradation or growing food scarcity can easily threaten food security for people
dependent on the products of land forests pastures and marine environment for their livelihoods Around the globe
land use and land cover changes are eroding the natural buffers that protect communities from hazard risk These same
changes often erode capacity of people to recover from disaster However there are several opportunities to reduce
disaster risk and enhance community resilience A comprehensive understanding of natural systems coupled with the
application of management tools such as environmental evaluation and risk assessment can make a major contribution
to the reduction of risks and mitigation of any impacts There is also a need to explore the link between environmental
systems amp disasters and also the synergies between man-made and natural disasters Changing ecological conditions
can provoke emergencies by placing concurrent stresses on the environment Mitigating the effects of disasters are
primary components in global efforts to ensure environmental security It is clear that further co-ordination and co-
operation on environmental matters depends on the ability of global community to set an environmental agenda for
disaster management and in particular to pay attention to the environmental conditions that lead to disasters and to
natural resource management for disaster prevention and reduction

Earthquake is a tectonic event which is causedthrough the internal pressure released by the earth in the form
of seismic waves Earthquake reveals all other catastrophic events that pose threat to human life and property It is the
most hazardous phenomenon on the earth which has an impact on a very large area leading to deaths injuries and
other socio-economic and physical damage The influence of the earthquake depends mainly on its magnitude place
and time of occurrence Earthquakes can also create other hazards like volcanoes landslides and tsunamis
Approximately 30000 seismic tremors transpire each year in the world Out of these few earthquakes are of so low
magnitude that we cannot feel them while some are of high magnitude thereby causing lots of deaths and damages
The damage caused by the earthquakes depends on the three factors ie depth of the seismic focus the intensity of the
earthquake and itrsquos time of occurrenceNorthwestern Himalayan region lies in the subduction zone between the
Eurasian and Indian plate margins therefore it becomes more vulnerable to the earthquake hazard The region lies in
IV and V seismic zones which is very active In the present study an attempt has been made to analyze the spatial
pattern of earthquakes occurrence in northwest Himalayan region of India

Application of Remote Sensing In Geography
Dr Pratap Singh Rajput Guest Lecturer Govt College Sarni Betul MP
Remote sensing in geology is remote sensing used in the geological sciences as a data acquisition method
complementary to field observation because it allows mapping of geological characteristics of regions without
physical contact with the areas being explored About one-fourth of the Earths total surface area is exposed land
where information is ready to be extracted from detailed earth observation via remote sensing Remote sensing is
conducted via detection of electromagnetic radiation by sensors The radiation can be naturally sourced (passive
remote sensing) or produced by machines (active remote sensing) and reflected off of the Earth surface The
electromagnetic radiation acts as an information carrier for two main variables First the intensities of reflectance at
different wavelengths are detected and plotted on a spectral reflectance curve This spectral fingerprint is governed by
the physio-chemical properties of the surface of the target object and therefore helps mineral identification and hence
geological mapping for example by hyper spectral Second the two-way travel time of radiation from and back to the
sensor can calculate the distance in active remote sensing systems for example Interferometric synthetic-aperture
radar This helps geomorphologic studies of ground motion and thus can illuminate deformations associated
with landslides earthquakes etc Remote sensing data can help studies involving geological mapping geological
hazards and economic geology (ie exploration for minerals petroleum etc) These geological studies commonly
employ a multitude of tools classified according to short to long wavelengths of the electromagnetic radiation which
various instruments are sensitive to Shorter wavelengths are generally useful for site characterization up to
mineralogical scale while longer wavelengths reveal larger scale surface information eg regional thermal anomalies
surface roughness etc Such techniques are particularly beneficial for exploration of inaccessible areas and planets
other than Earth

A rapidly emerging menace ie deforestation is a big concern and challenge not only before India but across
the world and poses a threat to the sustainable development of mankind Forest resource is renewable resources and is
prominent geographic feature at the global level supporting living organisms of various forms Forest is defined as a
community of living trees and associated organisms which covers a considerable area It usually refers to all lands
more than one hectare in area with a tree canopy density of more than 10 percent irrespective of ownership and legal
status India is one of the ten most forest-rich countries of the world Forestry in India is a significant rural industry
and a major environmental resource But ironically the rate of deforestation in India is alarmingly high to suit a
variety of needs especially to fulfill the agricultural pursuits
In light of preceding discussion the present study will examine and unravel the regional patterns of
deforestation in India In particular the study intends to analyze and explore the extent trends magnitude and
distributional pattern of deforestation across various regions and states and their accuracy assessments for two
different time periods ie 2015 and 2017 The Forest Survey of India and the National Remote Sensing Agency

Water is one of the most essential natural resources for sustaining life Its development and
management play a vital role in agriculture production Integrated water management is vital for poverty
reduction environmental sustenance and sustainable economic development In view of the rapid increase
in population urbanization and industrialization the demand for water for meeting various requirements is
continuously increasing Therefore we are facing numerous challenges in the water sector which include
reducing per capita water availability the decline in groundwater table in many areas and saltwater
intrusion in coastal aquifers The quality of surface water and groundwater is also deteriorating because of
increasing pollutant loads from various sources Climate change may also adversely affect the availability
and distribution of water resources This article presents an overview of relevant issues pertaining to

Environmental Impacts of Natural Disasters
Tek Chand Student of PU Patiala
It is recognized that many significant nonmarket effects result from natural disasters including environmental
impacts Though our committee had a keen interest in these topics it became clear that these impactsmdashthough often
significantmdashdid not fit easily with this studys main report and conclusions for the following reasons (1) not all
disasters result in significant ecosystem impacts (eg many earthquakes have but minor impacts on ecosystems) (2)
some extreme events have positive impacts on ecosystems (eg floods can help rejuvenate floodplain vegetation and
are important drivers of many ecological processes in floodplains) and (3) these impacts are mainly nonmarket and
are exceptionally difficult to quantify andor monetize Though there are emerging efforts in quantifying and
monetizing ecosystem services (Costanza 1997) they are in their infancy and are not yet widely accepted
Nonetheless the magnitude of the environmental impacts of many disasters compelled the committee to discuss them
and we do so in this Appendix Though no specific recommendations regarding how environmental costs should be
incorporated in loss estimates we provide here we encourage policymakers in the relevant executive branch agencies

to devote more attention and perhaps research to these issues It is important in assessing environmental impacts to
distinguish between impacts of disasters on the natural environment from those on the human-made landscape
environment As mentioned events that societies label as natural disasters may also have beneficial ecological
consequences However these benefits tend to only manifest themselves months or years after an extreme event (eg
rejuvenation of a coniferous forest months andor years after fires) or are often not readily apparent (eg recharging
of groundwater stocks after a flood) These benefits to ecological systems are of course typically overshadowed by
immediate negative impacts on societies and structures hence the use of the term natural disasters

Geographic Information System (GIS) is considered as ldquoautomated systems used for capturing store retrieve
analyze and to display spatial datardquo (Clarke etal 1996) This tool is helpful in analyzing relationships between
location environment and incidences When looking into applicability of GIS both water-borne diseases and vector-
borne diseases are widely investigated topics at global level In the present scenario GIS has an ability to identify
location of specific diseases and their spatial unusual aggregation which can help different health agencies so that they
can provide facilities and prevent further growth of incidents1
The health geography is concerned with two fundamental questions that are revolves around (i) when and
where specific disease tend to occur and why specific pattern of incidence do occur In these directions substantial
growth has been found during the last decade whereas concept of ldquoplacerdquo plays a very significant role in determining
health of people It is regarded as new perspective to look into how ldquohealthrdquo of people is influence from ldquospacerdquo
(Kwan 2012) In the recent period due to development of modern tools such as Geographic Information System
(GIS) which makes it easier to conduct spatial analysis and modeling at different levels Now with these tools modern
epidemiologist and geographers can do analysis of health both spatially and temporally (Cromley and McLafferty
2011)
Water borne diseases are considered as diseases those emerge due to consumption and ingestion of
contaminated water that may contain pathogenic viruses bacteria protozoa and other chemical substances (UNO
Health Report 2003) These pathogens are transmitted into human body through using contaminated water when
utilize for domestic purposes that may responsible for viral bacteria and parasite related diseases A report by World
Health Organization (2016) on ldquoThe situation of water-related infectious diseases in the pan-European regionrdquo define
water related diseases asany substantial effect on human health such as illness disability disorders and sometime
death due to direct or indirect alteration in the quantity or quality of water2

Environmental Impacts of Natural Disasters
Tek Chand Student of PU Patiala
It is recognized that many significant nonmarket effects result from natural disasters including environmental
impacts Though our committee had a keen interest in these topics it became clear that these impactsmdashthough often
significantmdashdid not fit easily with this studys main report and conclusions for the following reasons (1) not all
disasters result in significant ecosystem impacts (eg many earthquakes have but minor impacts on ecosystems) (2)
some extreme events have positive impacts on ecosystems (eg floods can help rejuvenate floodplain vegetation and
are important drivers of many ecological processes in floodplains) and (3) these impacts are mainly nonmarket and
are exceptionally difficult to quantify andor monetize Though there are emerging efforts in quantifying and
monetizing ecosystem services (Costanza 1997) they are in their infancy and are not yet widely accepted
Nonetheless the magnitude of the environmental impacts of many disasters compelled the committee to discuss them
and we do so in this Appendix Though no specific recommendations regarding how environmental costs should be
incorporated in loss estimates we provide here we encourage policymakers in the relevant executive branch agencies

Geographic Information System (GIS) is considered as ldquoautomated systems used for capturing store retrieve
analyze and to display spatial datardquo (Clarke etal 1996) This tool is helpful in analyzing relationships between
location environment and incidences When looking into applicability of GIS both water-borne diseases and vector-
borne diseases are widely investigated topics at global level In the present scenario GIS has an ability to identify
location of specific diseases and their spatial unusual aggregation which can help different health agencies so that they
can provide facilities and prevent further growth of incidents1
The health geography is concerned with two fundamental questions that are revolves around (i) when and
where specific disease tend to occur and why specific pattern of incidence do occur In these directions substantial
growth has been found during the last decade whereas concept of ldquoplacerdquo plays a very significant role in determining
health of people It is regarded as new perspective to look into how ldquohealthrdquo of people is influence from ldquospacerdquo
(Kwan 2012) In the recent period due to development of modern tools such as Geographic Information System
(GIS) which makes it easier to conduct spatial analysis and modeling at different levels Now with these tools modern
epidemiologist and geographers can do analysis of health both spatially and temporally (Cromley and McLafferty
2011)
Water borne diseases are considered as diseases those emerge due to consumption and ingestion of
contaminated water that may contain pathogenic viruses bacteria protozoa and other chemical substances (UNO
Health Report 2003) These pathogens are transmitted into human body through using contaminated water when
utilize for domestic purposes that may responsible for viral bacteria and parasite related diseases A report by World
Health Organization (2016) on ldquoThe situation of water-related infectious diseases in the pan-European regionrdquo define
water related diseases asany substantial effect on human health such as illness disability disorders and sometime
death due to direct or indirect alteration in the quantity or quality of water2

Accuracy assessment is one of the most important tools in production of Land use and land cover maps
through the process of image classification Land use land cover information is spatial details of particular landscape
which recorded in satellite image through the remote sensing initial step for policy making business and
administrative purposes Land use land cover classification play a vital role because it provide data which can be used
as input for modeling especially the one dealing with environment for instance models dealing with climate change
and policy developments by the process of image classification with the help of geographic information system (GIS)
and remote sensing techniques The present study aims to analyze the accuracy assessment of land use land cover
classification of Almora District of Uttarakhand State of India and to identify the land use land cover classes through
the Andersonrsquo s satellite image classification within the district
In this study the Landsat 8oli image will be used to process of image classification by supervised

Application of Remote Sensing In Geography
Dr Pratap Singh Rajput Guest Lecturer Govt College Sarni Betul MP
Remote sensing in geology is remote sensing used in the geological sciences as a data acquisition method
complementary to field observation because it allows mapping of geological characteristics of regions without
physical contact with the areas being explored About one-fourth of the Earths total surface area is exposed land
where information is ready to be extracted from detailed earth observation via remote sensing Remote sensing is
conducted via detection of electromagnetic radiation by sensors The radiation can be naturally sourced (passive
remote sensing) or produced by machines (active remote sensing) and reflected off of the Earth surface The
electromagnetic radiation acts as an information carrier for two main variables First the intensities of reflectance at
different wavelengths are detected and plotted on a spectral reflectance curve This spectral fingerprint is governed by
the physio-chemical properties of the surface of the target object and therefore helps mineral identification and hence
geological mapping for example by hyper spectral Second the two-way travel time of radiation from and back to the
sensor can calculate the distance in active remote sensing systems for example Interferometric synthetic-aperture
radar This helps geomorphologic studies of ground motion and thus can illuminate deformations associated
with landslides earthquakes etc Remote sensing data can help studies involving geological mapping geological
hazards and economic geology (ie exploration for minerals petroleum etc) These geological studies commonly
employ a multitude of tools classified according to short to long wavelengths of the electromagnetic radiation which
various instruments are sensitive to Shorter wavelengths are generally useful for site characterization up to
mineralogical scale while longer wavelengths reveal larger scale surface information eg regional thermal anomalies
surface roughness etc Such techniques are particularly beneficial for exploration of inaccessible areas and planets
other than Earth

Naresh Kumar Assit Professor CRM Jat College Hisar
Water is one of the most essential natural resources for sustaining life Its development and management play
a vital role in agriculture production Integrated water management is vital for poverty reduction environmental
sustenance and sustainable economic development In view of the rapid increase in population urbanization and
industrialization the demand for water for meeting various requirements is continuously increasing Therefore we are
facing numerous challenges in the water sector which include reducing per capita water availability the decline in
groundwater table in many areas and saltwater intrusion in coastal aquifers The quality of surface water and
groundwater is also deteriorating because of increasing pollutant loads from various sources Climate change may also
adversely affect the availability and distribution of water resources This article presents an overview of relevant
issues pertaining to development and management of water resources in India

Geographic Information System (GIS) is considered as ldquoautomated systems used for capturing store retrieve
analyze and to display spatial datardquo (Clarke etal 1996) This tool is helpful in analyzing relationships between
location environment and incidences When looking into applicability of GIS both water-borne diseases and vector-
borne diseases are widely investigated topics at global level In the present scenario GIS has an ability to identify
location of specific diseases and their spatial unusual aggregation which can help different health agencies so that they
can provide facilities and prevent further growth of incidents1
The health geography is concerned with two fundamental questions that are revolves around (i) when and
where specific disease tend to occur and why specific pattern of incidence do occur In these directions substantial
growth has been found during the last decade whereas concept of ldquoplacerdquo plays a very significant role in determining
health of people It is regarded as new perspective to look into how ldquohealthrdquo of people is influence from ldquospacerdquo
(Kwan 2012) In the recent period due to development of modern tools such as Geographic Information System
(GIS) which makes it easier to conduct spatial analysis and modeling at different levels Now with these tools modern
epidemiologist and geographers can do analysis of health both spatially and temporally (Cromley and McLafferty
2011)
Water borne diseases are considered as diseases those emerge due to consumption and ingestion of
contaminated water that may contain pathogenic viruses bacteria protozoa and other chemical substances (UNO

Application of Geospatial Technology in Monitoring Forest Cover Change An Indian Perspective
Dr Shweta Rani Assistant Professor Department of Geography Dyal Singh College DU New Delhi
A rapidly emerging menace ie deforestation is a big concern and challenge not only before India but across
the world and poses a threat to the sustainable development of mankind Forest resource is renewable resources and is
prominent geographic feature at the global level supporting living organisms of various forms Forest is defined as a
community of living trees and associated organisms which covers a considerable area It usually refers to all lands
more than one hectare in area with a tree canopy density of more than 10 percent irrespective of ownership and legal
status India is one of the ten most forest-rich countries of the world Forestry in India is a significant rural industry
and a major environmental resource But ironically the rate of deforestation in India is alarmingly high to suit a
variety of needs especially to fulfill the agricultural pursuits
In light of preceding discussion the present study will examine and unravel the regional patterns of
deforestation in India In particular the study intends to analyze and explore the extent trends magnitude and
distributional pattern of deforestation across various regions and states and their accuracy assessments for two
different time periods ie 2015 and 2017 The Forest Survey of India and the National Remote Sensing Agency
(NRSA) are two major source providing data for forest cover in India based on interpretation of satellite data The
changes in area under forest have depicted through a change matrix and accuracy assessments of classification of
forest cover have been attempted through Kappa Co-efficient It is a multi-variate technique providing a statistic

Environmental Impacts of Natural Disasters
Tek Chand Student of PU Patiala
It is recognized that many significant nonmarket effects result from natural disasters including environmental
impacts Though our committee had a keen interest in these topics it became clear that these impactsmdashthough often
significantmdashdid not fit easily with this studys main report and conclusions for the following reasons (1) not all
disasters result in significant ecosystem impacts (eg many earthquakes have but minor impacts on ecosystems) (2)
some extreme events have positive impacts on ecosystems (eg floods can help rejuvenate floodplain vegetation and
are important drivers of many ecological processes in floodplains) and (3) these impacts are mainly nonmarket and
are exceptionally difficult to quantify andor monetize Though there are emerging efforts in quantifying and
monetizing ecosystem services (Costanza 1997) they are in their infancy and are not yet widely accepted
Nonetheless the magnitude of the environmental impacts of many disasters compelled the committee to discuss them
and we do so in this Appendix Though no specific recommendations regarding how environmental costs should be
incorporated in loss estimates we provide here we encourage policymakers in the relevant executive branch agencies

to devote more attention and perhaps research to these issues It is important in assessing environmental impacts to
distinguish between impacts of disasters on the natural environment from those on the human-made landscape
environment As mentioned events that societies label as natural disasters may also have beneficial ecological
consequences However these benefits tend to only manifest themselves months or years after an extreme event (eg
rejuvenation of a coniferous forest months andor years after fires) or are often not readily apparent (eg recharging
of groundwater stocks after a flood) These benefits to ecological systems are of course typically overshadowed by
immediate negative impacts on societies and structures hence the use of the term natural disasters

Soils are derived from parent rock material through the process of break-up wear and tear Soil is our prime
natural and economic resource because we derive everything that we need in our life from the soil It is the soil that
provides food both for humans and animals Soil is the most valuable wealth of the country on which the prosperity
and total agricultural products is based There are various factors such as parent material vegetation climate and slope
which affect the formation of soil The change in any one of these factors cause a change in soil types and soil
character
An intimate knowledge of soil is a prerequisite for all agricultural operations and planning The role of soil is
of paramount importance in Hisar district where it provides livelihood to 70 of the total population The Hisar
district soils have developed under the arid and humid climate over the bedrocks of complex nature predominantly
under the process of laterization The present paper deals with the various types of soil of Hisar district It also

natural and economic resource because we derive everything that we need in our life from the soil It is the soil that
provides food both for humans and animals Soil is the most valuable wealth of the country on which the prosperity
and total agricultural products is based There are various factors such as parent material vegetation climate and slope
which affect the formation of soil The change in any one of these factors cause a change in soil types and soil
character
An intimate knowledge of soil is a prerequisite for all agricultural operations and planning The role of soil is
of paramount importance in Hisar district where it provides livelihood to 70 of the total population The Hisar
district soils have developed under the arid and humid climate over the bedrocks of complex nature predominantly
under the process of laterization The present paper deals with the various types of soil of Hisar district It also

Disaster Prevention and Management in India
Om Prakash Choyal Kuchaman PG College Rajasthan
India is one of the hazard prone countries in South Asia Floods droughts landslides snowstorms hurricanes
and cyclones occur regularly Among these earthquakes floods and drought risk are extremely high These hazards
threaten millions of lives and cause large scale financial infrastructure agriculture and productivity losses that
seriously hinder Indiarsquos overall development In India the primary responsibility for responding to disaster lies at the
state and the central level The GOI have a national emergency plan for disaster management some of the state also
has a disaster management plan It can be and is called upon to assist when necessary but there is a lack of awareness
in the public Many Indian States have limited resources and lack their own disaster management plans Considering
these problems this paper attempts to throw light on a more integrated and responsive disaster management system in
India This paper will provide important information in three mutually reinforcing areas viz disaster preparedness
response and rehabilitation management The various case studies for disaster management will be discussed

Water Resources Issues and Management in India
Naresh Kumar Assit Professor CRM Jat College Hisar
Water is one of the most essential natural resources for sustaining life Its development and management play
a vital role in agriculture production Integrated water management is vital for poverty reduction environmental
sustenance and sustainable economic development In view of the rapid increase in population urbanization and
industrialization the demand for water for meeting various requirements is continuously increasing Therefore we are
facing numerous challenges in the water sector which include reducing per capita water availability the decline in
groundwater table in many areas and saltwater intrusion in coastal aquifers The quality of surface water and
groundwater is also deteriorating because of increasing pollutant loads from various sources Climate change may also
adversely affect the availability and distribution of water resources This article presents an overview of relevant
issues pertaining to development and management of water resources in India

location environment and incidences When looking into applicability of GIS both water-borne diseases and vector-
borne diseases are widely investigated topics at global level In the present scenario GIS has an ability to identify
location of specific diseases and their spatial unusual aggregation which can help different health agencies so that they
can provide facilities and prevent further growth of incidents1
The health geography is concerned with two fundamental questions that are revolves around (i) when and
where specific disease tend to occur and why specific pattern of incidence do occur In these directions substantial
growth has been found during the last decade whereas concept of ldquoplacerdquo plays a very significant role in determining

Water borne diseases are considered as diseases those emerge due to consumption and ingestion of
contaminated water that may contain pathogenic viruses bacteria protozoa and other chemical substances (UNO

to devote more attention and perhaps research to these issues It is important in assessing environmental impacts to
distinguish between impacts of disasters on the natural environment from those on the human-made landscape
environment As mentioned events that societies label as natural disasters may also have beneficial ecological
consequences However these benefits tend to only manifest themselves months or years after an extreme event (eg
rejuvenation of a coniferous forest months andor years after fires) or are often not readily apparent (eg recharging
of groundwater stocks after a flood) These benefits to ecological systems are of course typically overshadowed by
immediate negative impacts on societies and structures hence the use of the term natural disasters

location of specific diseases and their spatial unusual aggregation which can help different health agencies so that they
can provide facilities and prevent further growth of incidents1
The health geography is concerned with two fundamental questions that are revolves around (i) when and
where specific disease tend to occur and why specific pattern of incidence do occur In these directions substantial
growth has been found during the last decade whereas concept of ldquoplacerdquo plays a very significant role in determining
health of people It is regarded as new perspective to look into how ldquohealthrdquo of people is influence from ldquospacerdquo
(Kwan 2012) In the recent period due to development of modern tools such as Geographic Information System
(GIS) which makes it easier to conduct spatial analysis and modeling at different levels Now with these tools modern
epidemiologist and geographers can do analysis of health both spatially and temporally (Cromley and McLafferty
2011)
Water borne diseases are considered as diseases those emerge due to consumption and ingestion of
contaminated water that may contain pathogenic viruses bacteria protozoa and other chemical substances (UNO
Health Report 2003) These pathogens are transmitted into human body through using contaminated water when
utilize for domestic purposes that may responsible for viral bacteria and parasite related diseases A report by World
Health Organization (2016) on ldquoThe situation of water-related infectious diseases in the pan-European regionrdquo define
water related diseases asany substantial effect on human health such as illness disability disorders and sometime
death due to direct or indirect alteration in the quantity or quality of water2
