International Seminar on

“The Himalayan Challenge: Towards Interdisciplinary Dialogues for Sustainability & Development”

29 November – 1st December 2017, Doon University Dehradun

India has vast network of roads, over 3 million

kilometres, and is the 2nd largest in the world.

On hilly regions, roads extend`s for over large

length of 161000 km which includes Himalayan

roads which runs over 60,000 kms across the

length and breadth of the IHR.

The total length of only metalled roads in

Uttarakhand is 29,939 km

Over the next few decades, 292 dams in IHR, doubling

current hydropower capacity and contributing ~6% to

projected national energy needs by 2030.

population growth, climate change, economic

globalization and urbanization lead to Land use

intensifications and depletion of natural resource.

Rapid urban growth lead to disruption of hydrological regimes, reduced ground water recharge,

depleted forests and biodiversity, increased risks of natural hazards and disasters in urban areas and

increased the vulnerability of mountain inhabitants to food and livelihood insecurity (Poudel 2008)

Improved road connectivity increased the urbanisation

and growth of tourism

Urban growth caused the loss of 5.85% of natural forests during 1981 – 2011

The changing climatic conditions have already stressed mountain ecosystems through higher mean

annual temperatures, melting glaciers and snow, altered precipitation patterns, hydrological

disruptions, and more frequent and extreme weather events (Eriksson et al. 2008)

Cloudbursts/torrential rain

Flash floods

Landslides

Avalanches

Over the past few decades, these extreme events have increased in the IHR and so has the fatalities

in absence of adequate management and proper guidelines for constructional and other purposes.

• Warming in Himalayas is happening at an unprecedented rate, higher than the global average of 0.74 ̊ C over the last 100 years (IPCC, 2007a; Du et al., 2004), at least 2-3 times higher than global averages.

• As compared to global averages, Himalayan glaciers are receding at a rapid rate. Retreat in glaciers can destabilize surrounding slopes and may give rise to catastrophic landslides (Ballantyne and Benn, 1994; Dadson and Church, 2005), which can dam streams and sometimes lead to outbreak floods.

• Available studies suggest changes in climatic patterns and an increase in extreme events. An increase in the frequency of high intensity rainfall often leading to flash floods and landslides has been reported (Chalise and Khanal, 2001; ICIMOD, 2007a).

• This imbalance narrows the seasonal variation in temperature, potentially favouring some plant species over others and already having impacts on agriculture.

• Farmers’ crops suffer from changing patterns of rainfall, which threatens the food security of the local people. Warmer temperatures and changing humidity have brought insect pests and disease to areas where they were previously absent.

• Release of strain built up due to

convergence of the Indian and

Tibetan plates by seismic activity and

aseismic slip.

• The tectonic activity has effected

morphotectonic changes due to

uplift, tilting of drainage basins,

shifting or diversion of rivers and

their tributary channels.

• Seismicity is mainly due to activity

along numerous active faults, which

trend parallel or transverse to the

Himalayan mountain belt.

Most of the landslide occurrences, especially those that have caused extensive damage to life and

property, are recorded along the highways /roads of the hilly terrain of the country.

It impacts the Socio- economic, Environmental, Spatial, Cultural and Political Development

Along Highways, a large population and their economic activities are settled. Frequent

landslides present a threat to life and livelihood, ranging from minor disruption to social and

economic and environmental catastrophe.

Road side farmlands, agricultural production, agro-forest, other economic activities are also

influenced
