Abstract: The proposed Kakoragad small hydroelectric project is a run of the river scheme, on Kakora River near Harsil in Uttarkashi district of Uttarakhand. The water will be diverted by an 18m long rectangular trench type weir at an altitude of ±2942m. The diverted water will be carried to the powerhouse through power tunnels over a distance of 1629m to produce 12.5MW of electricity. The whole project is located within the rocks of Vaikrita Group. This study includes detailed discussions on geological setting in addition to highlighting the anticipated Engineering Geological problems likely to be encountered during construction of the project. The rocks at the project site have been classified using Rock Mass Rating (RMR) system and also by Q-system in order to predict rock load and support requirements
Keywords: Kakoragad small hydroelectric project, RMR, Q-system, in-situ stresses, remedial measures

Abstract: Land is becoming a scarce resource due to population growth and industrialization. Rapid growth of human activities can also be attributed as one of the reasons. Thus, it becomes an important task to regulate land resource for sustainable development and environmental protection. Land use/cover (LULC) change studies have become a central component in current strategies for managing natural resources and monitoring environmental changes. The present study the land use/cover and its pattern was studied for the Sasan Ultra mega thermal power plant covering an area of 10 km2 for three years (2005, 2010 and 2015) respectively................

Abstract: A drainage basin is simply the area that gathers water from precipitation and delivers it to a larger stream, lake or ocean. It is an area limited by a drainage divide and occupies by a drainage network wherein the upstream drainage basin supplies water and sediment to the lower parts reflecting the upstream geologic and hydrologic character of watershed. In the present study the morphometric analysis is quantitatively done with (ARC GIS 10.0) and ERDAS which is a powerful tool and it is advanced very easily measuring basin length, basin, area, automatic creating of drainage network, stream order, stream length, circular area of basin etc. Fragments in the creation of basin, delineation of drainage network, stream length, flow direction and stream orders. Using Arc Gis technique the work................

Abstract: The surface water bodies and ground water resources of Madurai district, Tamil Nadu, India were monitored for the last 45 years. The surface waterbodies were derived from toposheet and satellite images for 1970,1990, 2001, 2010 & 2014 years. The changes in surface waterbodies were discussed in this paper. Most of the surface waterbodies were silted and dumped by the wastages in recent years. Many water bodies were transformed as other land use. Few water bodies were still serving to the environment in terms of storage and supply..

Abstract: To investigate the variation in the spatial distribution of aquifers in the Basement Complex, a total of 12 Vertical Electrical Soundings (VES) were undertaken in the Study Area. The field work was followed by VES Interpretation using IPI2Win electrical resistivity interpretation software, which involves the creation of VES curves, pseudo and resistivity sections. The study revealed considerable variability in the distribution, extent, type, thickness, water content and resistivity of the aquifers in the area. Also the high groundwater potential points in the area have been delineated.

Abstract: Introduction : A geotechnical study was undertaken at Lubambe Copper Mine, Zambia, centring on understanding the variations in the uniaxial compressive strength of all rock units coupled with underground discontinuity mapping. The current mining method employed at Lubambe is Longitudinal Room and Pillar (LRP) mining with 30 m strike-wide panels. The Lubambe Copper deposit is located within the Central African Lufilian arc fold and thrust belt. It is located in an area underlain largely by rocks belonging to the Katanga sequence group.............

Abstract: The 67 groundwater samples were collected from the basaltic aquifer of Tuppaarea, New Nanded, among these, 25 water samples from bore wells and 42 from dug wells. The collection of groundwater samples during pre-monsoon and post-monsoon seasons in three years (1997, 1998& 1999). The hydro-chemical investigations of the area werecarried out on the basis of Piper Trilinear diagram. The study shows that the dominance of alkaline element and secondary salinity particularly with dominance of CaCl2.The Cl concentration of groundwater of study area has increased by Industrial pollution especially the discharge of HCl.
