EVALUATION OF GROUNDWATER RESOURCES AND ESTIMATION OF STAGE OF GROUNDWATER DEVELOPMENT IN A BASIN – A CASE STUDY - G. N. Pradeep Kumar; P. Srinivas (Irrigation and Drainage, 2012)
Rapid industrial development, urbanization and increase in agricultural production have led to freshwater shortage in many parts of the world. For sustainable development of water resources, it is imperative to make quantitative estimations of the available water resources. The study area, the Kurmapalli Vagu Basin, is located in the semi‐arid tropics of the Deccan Plateau and is a chronic drought‐prone, backward and endemic fluoride area. Hence evaluation of groundwater resources and stage of groundwater development of the Kurmapalli Vagu Basin was carried out utilizing remote sensing and geographical information system techniques in conjunction with conventional methods. The arithmetic average method was used to compute the total quantity of water from precipitation received by the basin. The groundwater resources were evaluated based on Groundwater Resource Estimation Committee norms. Groundwater recharge from rainfall, canals, return flow of irrigation, minor irrigation tanks and water conservation structures were also estimated. The total groundwater recharge and annual utilizable groundwater resources from various sources were computed. The net annual groundwater draft was estimated based on the number and type of wells and unit draft. The groundwater balance of the basin works out to be 1.95 MCM. The stage of groundwater development for the Kurmapalli Vagu Basin as on date works out to be 80.6% which falls in the semi‐critical category. Suggestions have been made for proper augmentation of groundwater resources. Further, to ensure sustainable development of the basin water‐harvesting structures have been proposed.

Assessing the impact of rehabilitation and irrigation management transfer in minor irrigation projects in Orissa, India: A case study - A. Mishra; S. Ghosh; P. Nanda; A. Kumar (Irrigation and Drainage, 2011)
This paper presents a case study on the impact of rehabilitation and irrigation management transfer (IMT) on irrigation, agriculture and functioning of a water user association (WUA) from farmers' perspectives. The study was carried out in three selected minor irrigation projects (MIPs) in Orissa, India, which were rehabilitated by the state government obtaining financial assistance from European Commission during 1995–2005. A total number of 207 farmers were selected as respondents for this study following the probability proportionate random sampling method. The impact on irrigation was assessed with a set of 11 indicators on a 5‐point continuum scale and it is revealed that the overall irrigation impact value lies between 3 and 4. A paradigm shift in water delivery from supply driven to demand driven was observed. Impact on agriculture is reflected through an increase in cultivated area by 9.6–22%, cropping intensity by 10–26%, irrigated area by 18–107%, irrigation intensity by 15–57% and a diversified cropping pattern with higher productivity. Functioning of the WUA was studied with a group dynamic effectiveness index (GDEI) having 10 parameters. GDEI value ranged from 6.28 to 6.82 on a scale of 0 to 10. The lessons learnt from the study and measures for further improvement in the system's performance are presented. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Modernizing Sarda Sahayak canal system: The Masscote approach - Ravindra Kumar; Navin Shukla; D. P. Nigam; V. K. Verma (Irrigation and Drainage, 2010)
Mapping system and services of canal management, operation and maintenance aims (a) to enable decision makers, before engaging in investment plans, to ensure that diagnosis and solutions are investigated properly in irrigation modernization projects (through a rapid appraisal procedure); and (b) to suggest some specific strategies on how one should make the best use of the modernization investment made currently (mapping system and services for canal operation techniques). On the basis of analysis carried out through a Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and Uttar Pradesh Irrigation Department (UPID) training workshop on 7–19 December 2007 for the Jaunpur Branch Canal (JBC) system of the Sarda Sahayak Irrigation Scheme, this paper describes what more needs to be done for modernizing irrigation management in JBC and in other command areas of the state. Some suggestions are: (i) recycling water through shallow wells in the area close to the canal to reduce waterlogging; (ii) formation of a federation of Water Users Associations (WUA) to reduce the cost of operation; (iii) installation of more cross‐regulators in the branch canal to run the canal at the designed full supply level; (iv) installation of modular gates for distributaries and minors; (v) periodic calibration of measurement structures; and (vi) modernization of inner and outer cross‐sections of the canal to attain their water‐carrying capacity.

Development of a New Comprehensive Ocean Atlas for Indian Ocean utilizing ARGO Data - B. Prasad Kumar; Rahul Barman; S. K. Dube; P. C. Pandey; M. Ravichandran; Shailesh Nayak (International Journal of Climatology, 2010)
The World Ocean Atlas (WOA), also termed ‘Levitus Climatology’, is a global ocean climatology containing monthly, seasonal and annual means of temperature (T) and salinity (S) fields at standard ocean depths. The monthly climatology for T and S is available for standard depths up to 1000 m. The database used in the preparation of this climatology (WOA) are historical records of Conductivity, Temperature and Depth (CTD) casts and other available marine observations collected in the past. The methodology used in preparation of this WOA is objective analysis which is essentially non‐synoptic and widely scattered in the space domain. We understand that ARGO data has so far not been blended with WOA, nor has its impact for improving WOA climatology been attempted. Presently, with the wealth of marine data from ARGO profilers in the Indian Ocean, we propose a new approach to reconstruct T and S fields optimally utilizing the ARGO data. Here we develop a new model using Delaunay Tessellation with QHull algorithm delivering three‐dimensional T and S fields from a non‐uniform scattered database up to a depth of 1000 m. For gaps in a data‐sparse region, we use all available quality‐checked Ocean Station Data (OSD) and Profiling Float Data (PFL) information on T and S, in addition to the existing ARGO data. The initiative here was to replace WOA data points with realistic information from ARGO and in situ data, thereby producing a new climatology atlas. We demonstrate the robustness of our approach, and the final climatology on T and S is better compared with the existing state‐of‐the‐art WOA. The advantage of the proposed methodology is the scope of improving the ocean atlas with the addition of more ARGO data in the near future. The clustered approach in modelling enables ocean parameter retrieval in geometrically disconnected regions with an option for hot restart. We believe that the new climatology will benefit the research community immensely. Copyright © 2009 Royal Meteorological Society

Mahseer is a group of fish species that are well known as food and game fishes. The taxonomy of the mahseer species is confusing owing to the morphological variations and habitat adaptation. Detailed karyomorphological investigations have been carried out in seven species of mahseer, using karyotyping, Ag‐NOR and fluorescent staining techniques. The basic diploid chromosome number (2n), in all mahseer species, was observed to be 100; however, the karyotype formula varied among the species, which were recorded as: 20m + 14sm + 22st + 44t (fundamental arm number, FN = 134) in Tor khudree ; 22m + 24sm + 24st + 30t (FN = 146) in Tor mussullah; 12m + 22sm + 14st + 52t (FN = 134) in Tor putitora ; 20m + 24sm + 24st + 32t (FN = 144) in Tor tor ; 20m + 30sm + 24st + 26t (FN = 150) in Tor chelynoides; 20m + 20sm + 20st + 40t (FN = 140) in Tor progeneius; and 20m + 18sm + 14st + 48t (FN = 138) in Neolissochilus hexagonolepis . Silver staining of the chromosomes revealed the presence of multiple nucleolar organizer regions (NOR) in these mahseer species. The highest number of NORs was observed in T. tor (four pairs of chromosomes), whereas the other six species possessed Ag‐NOR signals on only two pairs of chromosomes. Although chromomycin A 3 (CMA 3 ) staining induced bright fluorescence signals on same Ag‐NORs sites, with CMA 3 , one additional signal was observed on the p arm of subtelocentric chromosomes in T. tor , T. chelynoides , T. progeneius and N. hexagonolepis , which may indicate the presence of inactive NOR in these species. The information on cytogenetic profile of these mahseer species is discussed in the light of cytotaxonomic implications and understanding the karyoevolution of these fish species.
