Studies on air temperature are necessary for assessing climatic conditions favourable for growing crops and also for altering the cropping pattern, if necessary, on the basis of hydrological balance in a particular area. Contai (21 ̊47´.15 N Lat ) coastal area by the northern shore of the Bay of Bengal is a well […]

Water harvesting in coastal and deltaic region
Water harvesting in coastal and deltaic regions is the basic and problematic task for any other developmental works in these areas. The problem further intensifies with the ingress of sea water in rivers, channels and groundwater. Water harvesting in suitably designed ponds, mixed farming with agroforestry and fish farming may rule out the complexities to […]
Quality of Groundwater in Coastal Areas depends on distance from Surface waterbodies
Quality of water is the major problem In the coastal areas. Electrical conductivity is one of the major parameters to determine the quality of water. Though the saline water ingress in the aquifer is the common fact in the coastal areas, distance of surface water bodies like rivers, channels and sea has great influence […]
