In the age of climate change, hydrological cycle is most sensitive which being adversely affected. The natural water sources such as springs, rivulets, rivers etc non-glacial fed watershed in Uttarakhand are drying and dying steadily disturbing society’s economy, environment creating threat on livelihood ecosystem region. basic goal current paper to evaluate impact change gravity flow drinking ...

The genus Pristosia Motschulsky, 1865 was so far only known to be highly diverse in the North-Western Himalaya and present in the Eastern Himalaya. Only a single female specimen has been documented in the literature from the Nepal Himalaya and was described as P. dahud Morvan, 1994. During a study of comprehensive carabid beetle material collected throughout Nepal, which has been deposited at s...

Aromatic plants have played key roles in the lives of tribal peoples living in the Himalaya by providing products for both food and medicine. This review presents a summary of aromatic medicinal plants from the Indian Himalaya, Nepal, and Bhutan, focusing on plant species for which volatile compositions have been described. The review summarizes 116 aromatic plant species distributed over 26 fa...

Cenozoic convergence between the Indian and Asian plates produced the archetypical continental collision zone comprising the Himalaya mountain belt and the Tibetan Plateau. How and where India-Asia convergence was accommodated after collision at or before 52 Ma remains a long-standing controversy. Since 52 Ma, the two plates have converged up to 3,600 ± 35 km, yet the upper crustal shortening d...

The geochemistry of granite is largely controlled by physical and chemical parameters that are closely linked to tectonic processes in evolving orogenic belts. Therefore, temporal changes the geochemical compositions granites could be used infer critical shifts processes. Himalayan leucogranites crustal anatexis products, providing a case formulate petrogenetic models for test models. From west...

The Himalayan rivers yield the most significant flux of continental sediments into ocean. Organic matter (OM) transported by these provides a peek at influence diverse geological terrains, soil types, vegetation, and climate on carbon cycling within narrow boundary. We analyzed suspended bedload from four to trace their sources, elucidate fate during fluvial transport, estimate organic (OC) flu...
