Abstract. The Himalayas, also known as third pole of the Earth feed some major rivers world viz. Ganga, Indus, Brahmaputra etc. accurate assessment water resources in eastern Himalayas is very important for respective policy makers. detailed and hydrological cycle component are critical attaining United Nations sustainable development goals (SDGs) such affordable clean energy, sanitation buildi...

The Atchafalaya River in Louisiana shares the third largest drainage basin in the world with the Mississippi River. Sediment cores and seismic profiles were used to examine the development and impact on land accretion of an early-stage subaqueous delta accumulating on the shallow (b25 m water depth) continental shelf seaward of the Atchafalaya River mouths in the period (~100 years) since the A...

Clastic sediments in the Bengal Fan contain a Neogene history of erosion and weathering of the Himalaya. We present data on clay mineralogy, major element, stable and radiogenic isotope abundances from Lower Miocene-Pleistocene sediments from ODP Leg 116. Nd and Sr isotope data show that the Himalayan provenance for the eroded material has varied little since > 17 Ma. However, from 7 to 1 Ma sm...

a r t i c l e i n f o Keywords: silicon isotopes Si cycle groundwater ocean isotope balance MC-iCP-MS This study presents silicon isotope data for rivers and groundwater from the Bengal Basin. Variations of Si isotope ratios were analyzed by means of high-resolution MC-ICP-MS using a NuPlasma HR. The rivers show typical positive δ 30 Si values between 1.3 and 1.7‰, whereas the groundwater sampl...

Abstract The PIANC InCom/EnviCom Working Group 236 was established in early 2021 to develop guidelines for improving navigability conditions on natural or quasi-natural rivers, while maintaining morphological processes and river form function. Its key objectives include: 1) development of improve maintain the rivers; 2) assess sustainability training works designed navigability; 3) dynamic mana...

Prices reached famine rates. Rice 9 seers 2 4|7 chittacks the rupee. Salt only the usual Price, 2 annas a seer. The Brahmaputra swollen as never before. Ominous predictions heard everywhere.
