: The coastal zones are highly resourceful and dynamic. Last decade has been witness to the increased frequency of tropical cyclones and the devastating tsunami. These changing times has brought importance of assessing the vulnerability of the coast to natural hazards. Present study intends to develop Coastal Vulnerability Index (CVI) for the administrative units, known as talukas of Karnataka State. Four variables characterising the vulnerability of the coast were considered, which includes rate of shoreline change, low-lying area, population and road network. Data was assimilated using the techniques of remote sensing and GIS. A total of 298 km of shoreline was assessed in accordance with the talukas in the study. It was observed that 63 km of the shoreline of the study area is under very high vulnerable category and 77 km of shoreline is high vulnerable category while 100 km and 58 km of coast are of moderate and low vulnerable categories respectively.

: Groundwater recharge from surface water sources is an essential aspect in any watershed or a hydrological unit. For any small scale groundwater assessment, experimental approaches are usually adopted. However, recharge into aquifers depends on several hydrogeological factors on a regional scale analysis; groundwater assessment is conducted in a comprehensive approach considering all the geospatial data of different contributing factors. These factors include geomorphological, geological and structural elements like lineaments, drainage frequency, drainage density, lithology, land use and land cover. This study has been conducted with an integrated approach to identify the groundwater potential of the area, and the factors influencing groundwater recharge. The study has shown that the prevailing groundwater conditions are very good along the stream networks and the remaining zones show moderate to poor groundwater resources. It is also found that for such an integrated study, the tools and techniques of remote sensing and GIS are more useful.

: Arc GIS and RUSLE software’s are used for classification and estimation of the annual average soil loss of four watersheds in the South Mahanadi delta along east coast of India. The uplands between the distributaries constitute the West of Daya, Daya- Bhargovi, Bhargovi- Kushabhadra and the coastal watersheds. The major water shed is the upland bounded by the rivers Daya and Bhargovi which decant to the Chilika lagoon which has unique ecosystem and hotspot biodiversity. The lagoon receives 70-80% of its inland flow from the Mahanadi system. About 6-8% of total sediment of the total Mahanadi system debouches into the lagoon threating the lagoon to be a depleted wetland in future. The sediment due to reel and the gully erosion of the local catchments plays important role in soil management. To study the average annual loss of soil of the watersheds, the rainfall erodent factor (R), soil erosion factor (K), basin length (L), gradient (S), crop type coefficient (Cc), tilling practice coefficient (Cp) and support practice factor (P) have been derived using rainfall data, satellite imageries and agriculture statistics of the area. The West of Daya watershed shows higher soil erosion rate than others. The average erosion rate of the south Mahanadi delta is estimated as 8.347 MT/ha/yr. and the coastal sandy area as 0.393 MT/ha/yr. Management strategies for reducing erosion rate are check dams, stone terraces, contour ploughing and cultivating salinity tolerant crops by proper catchment treatment plan for the area.

: According to the Hindu mythology, river Yamuna is considered as one of the most sacred rivers after the Ganges. In this study water quality of the river Yamuna was assessed at four different sampling locations during the months of May to August 2014. Physico-chemical parameters like pH, EC, turbidity, TDS, DO, BOD, COD, Cl - and SO42- were analyzed and the observed results were compared with the standard limits of BIS and WHO. The mean pH, EC, turbidity, TDS, DO, BOD, COD, Cl - and SO 42- values at the four sampling sites were observed in the range of 7.81-8.00, 1046.5-1195.3 µS/cm, 27.0-37.3 NTU, 856.5-936.0 mg/l, 4.5-5.2 mg/l, 19.3-25.8 mg/l, 58.0-85.0 mg/l, 242.5-267.0 mg/l and 97.75-114.0 mg/l respectively. The results on the water quality parameters of Yamuna river indicate that the river is not safe for domestic purposes.

The present study makes an attempt to study drainage morphometry and its influence on hydrology of Agaram Watershed, Tamil Nadu, India. For detailed study, Shuttle Radar Topographic Mission (SRTM) data was used to create Digital Elevation Model (DEM), aspect grid and slope maps. Geographical Information System (GIS) was used in evaluation of linear, areal, relief and gradient aspects of morphometric parameters. The study reveals that the elongated shape of the basin is mainly due to the guiding effect of thrusting and faulting. The lower order streams are found mostly dominating in the basin. The mean Bifurcation Ratio of the entire basin is 3.80, indicating that the drainage pattern is not much influenced by geological structures. The Relief ratio of the basin is 0.018. This indicates that the discharge capability of the watershed is very high and the groundwater potential is meager. Morphometric analysis of Agaram watershed reveals that about 38% of the area was highly suitable for rainwater harvesting and about 25% of the watershed coming under high alarming of soil erosion. This study is very useful for planning rainwater harvesting and watershed management.

This paper focusing on the usage of biomaterials as self-curing agents in concrete. Biomaterials like Calatropis Gigantea (CG) and Spinacea Oleracia (SO) are found to be equivalent to the existing chemical admixture Polyethylene Glycol since they have specific characteristic of holding water and releasing whenever it is needed as internal reservoirs like self-curing agents and their microstructural properties are resembling Polyethylene Glycol. From the previous studies, it was found that these biomaterials of a small quantity of about less than 1% by weight of cement performing better than PEG and found to be cost effective and no need of water curing of the day one of concreting and achieving the required strength 9-13. This paper discusses on the strength development of self-cured concrete using above said biomaterials at the age of 3, 7, 14, 21, 28 and 56 days without water curing and compared with the performance of conventional water cured concrete specimen. Also splitting tensile strength and flexural strength of both concrete at 28 days were determined and compared. From the results, it is found that Spinacea Oleracia is performing better than CG and PEG.
