The main objective was to contribute to the sustainable water resources management in the basin. The SWAT model was runned to partition the watershed into sub-basins and sub-units called Hydrological Response Unit (HRU). With this model, runoff was assessed by the method of curves number. Soil moisture was evaluated by the method of tracking with storage. Evapotranspiration was assessed with the method of Penman-Monteith. Soil erosion rate was quantified using the Modified version of the Universal Soil Loss Equation. The main data included in the model were Digital Elevation Model (DEM), soil characteristics, land cover, management practices and long term climate data. After the calibration and validation of the model, the adjusted water balance indicated that evapotranspiration and water basin production were respectively 72%and 25% of annual precipitation. Regarding the soil erosion, an average value of 1.45tha-1yr-1was obtained for the watershed. The vegetation in the basin has undergone rapid decline due to loss of natural formations namely the gallery forest, savannah and lakes, in favor of new land for agriculture and urbanization.<#LINE#>Abbott M.B. and Refsgaard J.C.

Parameters like, Iron, Nitrate, Sulphate, Fluoride, Phosphate, Chemical Oxygen Demand were determined. These values were compared with permissible limit. Higher value were found in water sample near the dumpsite area when compared to other site. Mild to high Iron concentration found in most samples, which are higher than Indian standard limit of 1.0mg. The higher value of COD indicates inorganic chemicals pollute that ground water. Therefore, the soil parameters in study area have some influenced leachate migration.<#LINE#>Abdelwaheb A., Moncef Z. and Hamed B.D.

The present study investigates the post-monsoon mineralogical variations in the suspended load in a 2nd order channel of the Brahmaputra River in Majuli, Assam. The channel flows along the southern bank of Majuli. Representative suspended sediment samples were collected from different locations and depths along the 2nd order channel, which were subsequently subjected to laboratory analysis for the determination of amount of suspended load as well as their mineralogical content.  The suspended load varies from 0.337 gm/l to 1.77 gm/l. X-ray Diffraction analysis of the sediments indicate the presence of quartz, chlorite, chamosite, strontianite, sanidine, orthoclase, tourmaline, albite, oligoclase, augite, hornblende, biotite, muscovite, enstatite, epidote calcite, dolomite, hematite, goethite, gypsum, garnet, apatite, tourmaline, zircon,  silimanite, kyanite, rutile, zoisite, clinozoisite and glauconite. The clay minerals varieties found are illite, montmorillonite and chlorite. A decrease in the amount of suspended load is observed from upstream towards the downstream part of the channel due to drop in stream power and change in flow direction of the 2nd order channel in its downstream portion. No clear segregation of minerals is observed along the course of the river channel.<#LINE#>Campodonico V.A., García M.G. and Pasquini A.I.

During the study period, a total of 37 species of zooplanktons were recorded viz., Rotifer-18 species, Cladocera-11 species, Copepoda-4 species, Ostracoda-4 species. The results of the physico-chemical analysis were found to be within the maximum permissible limit as prescribed by BIS and WHO. The various physico-chemical parameters are either significantly positive or negative correlation with density of different zooplankton groups at the level of P<0.01 or P<0.05.Rotifera group was found to be the most dominant among the other groups. The density of zooplankton community was higher in summer and lower in monsoon. The diversity and density of zooplankton species at Perur lake during study period are as follows – Rotifera (50 %) >Cladocera (25 %) >Copepoda (21 %) >Ostracoda (4%). The various kinds of diversity indices indicate the seasonal variation of zooplankton community and good quality of Lake Ecosystem. However, the presence of certain species like Brachionus sp., Keratella sp., Philodina sp., Bosminopsis sp., Moina sp., Mesocyclopes sp., Cypris sp. Indicates the possibility of eutrophication in the near future.<#LINE#>Venkatesharaju K., Ravikumar P., Somashekar R.K. and Prakash K.L.

These corridors are known to provide access to the new forest patches to the dispersing tigers where they can establish their territories. Linear development in the absence of any smart green infrastructure increases fragmentation of the wildlife habitat and poses threat to the wild animals including tigers. Present study aimed to monitor tiger and its associated species in a corridor by using 30 pairs of camera traps in a period of 30 days. In total, fifteen mammalian species were recorded in addition to tiger. World’s smallest wild cat i.e. rusty spotted cat was also recorded from the study area which is first capture of the species from this corridor. However, largest terrestrial mammal photo-captured during the study was elephant.<#LINE#>Wikramanayake E.D., Dinerstein E., Robinson J.G., Karanth U.K., Rabinowitz A., Olson D., Mathew T., Hedao P., Conner M., Hemley G. and Bolze D.

Soil pollution has accelerated drastically since the beginning of industrial revolution, especially the accumulation of heavy metal. Human activities are the main source of heavy metal accumulation in soil on a global scale (eg 5.6-38 x 106  kg Cd /yr) and comes mainly from industrial activities like mining, smelting, refining and manufacturing processes. The toxic substances are released into the environment and cause variety of toxic effects on living organism and their food chain. In areas with high anthropogenic pressures, heavy metals such as Cd, Cu, Pd, Cr, Zn and Ni are important environmental pollutants. They are also present in significant amount in sewage sludge and reach the soil where they become part of the lifecycle. This review explores phyto-remediation as a potential remediation strategy which is eco-friendly and low tech alternative to more active and intrusive remedial methods.<#LINE#>Shen Z.G., Li X.D., Wang C.C., Chen H.M. and Chua H.

The adverse debate around climate change and associated natural disasters has started to hurt Madagascar’s economy and are projected to cause economic losses worth 114-1047 million US$. To cope up with various loss and damages due to climate change, Madagascar would require 42 billion US$, but it faces various technical, social and policy constraints. The problem is compounded by high poverty rates and higher rates of climate change and global warming. Given the extreme vulnerability of Madagascar to climate change associated risks and disasters, developed countries could do well to come together and financially provide adequate contributions to save this island nation.<#LINE#>IMF.
