In current scenario a changing climate, natural springs, their main resource, drying up. experiences an acute shortage summer, precisely when town hosts numerous tourists. Devprayag,...
Mountain ecosystems, owing to their skewed development trends and amplified climatic perturbations, are extremely vulnerable climate change. Existing developmental challenges manifested as limited access basic services over reliance on weather sensitive livelihoods further amplify the vulnerability of communities. This study, using empirical evidence from sites in Uttarakhand, establishes an understanding how place-based vulnerabilities influence – analyzed through sustainable frameworks....
Hydropower is often termed “green energy” and proffered as an alternative to polluting coal-generated electricity for burgeoning cities energy-insecure rural areas. India the third largest coal producer in world; it projected be consumer by 2050. In Himalayan state of Uttarakhand, India, over 450 hydroelectric power schemes are proposed or under development. projects ranging from micro hydro (run-of-the-river systems with generating capacity up 100 kW) large reservoirs (storage 2000 MW) such...
Migration is a complex behavioural pattern which shaped by cross-scale variables and heuristic rules. This article captures the complexity dynamic behaviour of migration in Tehri Garhwal district Uttarakhand using agent-based modelling (ABM). Scenarios considering different starting points were developed to understand influencing migration. governed not only intrinsic factors, but also extrinsic influences. Exploratory ABM techniques used validate hypothesis assumed explain study area. The...
Abstract Farming communities in the Upper Ganga basin, nestled Himalayan region, are finding it extremely difficult to face water-related shocks, which stand profoundly impact their quality of life and livelihoods, due climate change. Often, coping strategies (technological or institutional interventions), developed by planners, become counter-productive as they not cognizance with end user community. This study presents a methodology enable incorporation community knowledge expectations...
