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................
Keywords: Land use; spatio-temporal change; supervised classification; accuracy assessment; kappa statistics.

Abstract: The Yeshwanthapur is a sub-basin of Aler river basin with an aerial extent of 688 sq. kms with a perimeter of 136 kms. The study area comprises Archaean group of rocks represented by Peninsular Gneiss Complexes occupy major part of with grey and pink granite/gneisses. Assessment of groundwater quality for irrigation use and hydrochemical evolution of groundwater has been studied. Hydrochemical analysis has been carried out based on concentrations of Ca+, Mg+, Na+, K+, Cl+, F, So-, Co- and HCoɜ, Sodium adsorption ratio (SAR) and Percent Sodium (%Na) have been studied to evaluate suitability of irrigation use most of the area groundwater in the basin

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................
