Introduction Landscape design in its broadest sense is the art of survival. It demarcates and signifies an event of engagement between cultural and natural landscapes of man. This engagement spans the entire spectrum of human activities; from profound to profane, from spiritual to mundane: both essential for survival, former nurturing the spirit, latter the physical well being; former satisfying the aesthetic experience, latter the material requirements. In complete reper toire of human relationship with the natural landscape; that which is perceived as metaphysical and sacred on one end of the spectrum also becomes as banal to be called resource in a materialistic sense on the other. This represents a kind of see-saw balance. Inclination towards one affects the other. Whenever humans intervene into landscape with materialistic intentions what follows is exploitation and degradation of landscape values on the other end of the spectrum. Single minded quest for enhancing the material life results ultimately in degradation of ecology and nature’s resource potential on which human survival depends. Landscape design aims at reconciling and bringing balance between these opposite ends of landscape values. With this understanding in mind, Mount Abu was selected as the study region that is fast developing as a tourist destination. Significance of Mount Abu as tourist destination can be attributed to following: 1. It is important religious centre for jains. 2. Landscape value as the only hill station in Rajasthan and bordering Gujarat state. 3. Comfortable climatic conditions. 4. Ecological value as protected forest with diverse floral and faunal habitat. The objective of study is hence to understand and evaluate natural resources of Mt. Abu, assess their criticality in terms of conservation and in this light propose landscape interventions, conservation methods and development guidelines for sustainable development in the study region.

1.1.1 Location The study region is located in the Aravalli Range in Sirohi district of Rajasthan state, which extends until western India near the border with Gujarat. The mountain, a part of the Aravali Range, forms a distinct rocky plateau 22 km long by 9 km wide. The highest peak on the mountain is Guru Shikhar at 1,722 m (5,650 ft) above sea level. 1.1.2 Connectivity Mt. Abu is the only hill station in Rajasthan, which lies on Rajasthan - Gujarat border. Most of the tourists come to this region from Ahmedabad, Gujarat. This area is well connected with major cities by road. Nearest Railway, station is Abu Road Railway station, which is 27 km away.

Map no.1 Location of Mt. Abu

Mount Abu the only hill station in Rajasthan is more than just a summer retreat. It comprises the oldest mountain ranges The Aravali. Attitudinally it varies from 300m at the foothills to 1722m at Gurashikhar, the highest peak of the Aravali Ranges. The rocks are igneous and due the weathering effect of wind and water, large cavities are common the rocks. This feature is typical of Aravali and particularly of Mt. Abu. This area has significant ecological importance comprising of dry deciduous forests at lower altitude and evergreen forests at higher altitude and the flora and fauna of the region comprise of several endemic and rare species. Besides Mount Abu has natural heritage such as Nakki Lake and man-made heritage like Dilwara temples and other heritage buildings and structures. Map no.2 Hill Stations in India

A group of Jain temples emerged at Nagda, near Udaipur. Late 10th century onwards: influence of Solanki architecture styles of Gujarat. Jain temples built at Delwada and Barmer, Mt. Abu during this time. Traces of early settlements at Delwada and along border of Sirohi during this time. Approximately 100 images carved on the stone slab of one part of the temple complex. Transport Route: Elephants were used to carry stone slabs from the foothills upto Delwada. This route was also the route used by the Jain monks to reach Delwada from Chandravati. This was an unmetalled road, through the dense forest. Availability of Water: During this time, most settlements were formed along the rivulets. Natural lake available at Delwada temple. The river Banas also served the demand for water requirement. Vegetation Type: Dense forest Regional Study - Mount Abu, Rajasthan

1301 AD: Parmar establish their capital at Chandravati (now in ruins near Abu road). Palace (Jalore) built on hill, flat ground used for agriculture. The king owned all land. 100 years after which, Rao Sabhaji the then king, built the town of Sirohi which was then shifted to the slopes of the hills (present day Capital). Transport Route: Two routes were developed to reach Delwada temple: one from Chandravati to Delwada which was along the Arana village, were there was a Jain Dharamshala. The Jains on their way to Delwada would hault here and enjoy the natural forest and mountain. The second route was from Anadara, a small village on the western side of the river, which had a steep slope, which was a pedestrian route. Later during 16th century, the road from Chandravati til Arana Taleti was made into a tar road. The Chiefs of Rajputana, would park their carts and carriages at Taleti and then walk all the way upto Delwada via Arana village, enjoying the scenic beauty. This route further extended upto Gurushikhar, the highest point, via Achalgadh and Oriya. The route form Anadara, which was along the main road to Agra from Ahmedabad, was made into a tar road until halfway, after which it was an unmetalled pedestrian pathway. Villagers from this village came to Abu to sell milk, vegetables, etc. Availability of Water: There were small shallow lakes and water table was just a few centimeters below the ground level. Hence, people would draw water easily by digging. Water was available from parts of these lakes. Vegetation type: Over a period of time, people started agricultural practices. Some part of forest was cleared. Agricultural practices increased. A lot of wasteland was converted to agriculture. A lot of forest degraded in order to construct tar roads.

By this time, Britishers influence was seen on the development happening at Abu. Nakki Lake, Polo ground and main bazaar near the lake was being set up. Many kings from the nearby regions who paid taxes to the King of Abu setup their houses in the surrounding regions, so that they could be seen and become part of the functions of British officers. Hence, alternate routes were developed to move from Abu road camp to Polo ground. State conditioned developed and became good. All tribes settled down. Boundaries were demarcated. It was during this time that Rajputana Malwar Railways were setup. Railway colony came up near Abu road camp. The Bhills and Minas, tribes in this region settled down and no more conflicts happened. Transport Route: Due to the construction of railways, there was a very rapid urbanization, which took place. By this time, alternate route also developed. Road uptill the town made into tar road. Main bazaar was set up in the town. Until this time, only a few cars allowed until Taleti. Rest had to come by carts. Entry was restricted. Availability of Water: There were small shallow lakes. Water was available from these lakes. Vegetation type: Major degradation of forest started happening during this time. Forest along the roads was removed. Regional Study - Mount Abu, Rajasthan

More devotees and tourists started visiting Mt. Abu, as it was the only hill station of Rajasthan, then. The settlement pattern was very different in the Mt. Abu town (along the spine) while that of Abu road (grid pattern). The king started selling patches of land for hoteliers to built hotels. Most of land under cultivation was also sold fo for constructing farmhouses and hotels. Polo ground, taken up by Nagarpalika has been declared as a public open space now. Later to all this, the region was declared as an eco sensitive zone, and no changes in the town are allowed. Almost all houses (during peak season) serve as motels and guesthouses. appened. Transport Route: All roads are now made into tar roads, up until Gurushikhar. The steep slope route from Mt. Abu to Anadara remains as a pedestrian unmetalled pathway. By this time major man made modifications had taken over the natural setting with respect to roads, vegetation, and land. Avalability of Water: Many dams were constructed during this period. Water table even today is a high, but during summers, it gets very low (almost 27.5m from ground level). Many overhead tanks were built during this time as a major source of water for domestic means. Vegetation Type: Most areas converted in settlement, hence lot of forest cover removed. Farmlands converted to hotels and Guesthouses. Regional Study - Mount Abu, Rajasthan

Extents of natural resources and impacts of the human imprint often go beyond political or administrative boundaries. Hence, physiographic factors may become the premise governing extents for landscape regional planning. Study region is the origin of tributaries, which drains into the river basin of Banas and Sulki. The entire region is a granitic intrusion with highest peak at 1600 m. This influences climate and rainfall of this region. The average rainfall that Mt. Abu region receives is 1600mm, while that of surrounding region is only 650 mm. Dams in the foothills of Mt. Abu becomes important natural resources, which further affects the settlements pattern, which has come up in the foothills. Hence influence of these natural resources, were taken into consideration while defining the regional boundary.

Inference from Wind Pattern • The longer axis of Mt.Abu is parallel to prevailing SW-NE wind direction as a result it does not form significant barrier to the wind. • The topography of Mt.abu is chracterised by series of undulating plateaus with elevation range of 1200m-1500m. The plateaus are interspersed with peaks ranging from 300m-500m from base of the plateaus. The wind easily passes through the valley gaps formed between peaks thus no distinct rain shadow or leeward regions are formed. • Only Gurushikhar peak, the highest on the mount offer any significant barrier thereby receiving a slightly more rainfall than other areas. • Most of the plateau areas are thus in under the influence of prevailing winds for major part of the year.

The Aravalli- one of the oldest mountain ranges of India- of which the study region is a part, along its longitudinal axis in NNE-SSW direction extends for about 695km from south of Delhi in the North to the plains of north Gujarat in its southern extremity dividing the state of Rajasthan into arid region of the west encompassing the Thar desert and fertile land with a network of rivers and seasonal streams to the east. The Vedic River Saraswati (now extinct) during the initial stage of its migratory evolution flowed close to the foothills of the Aravalli Mountain Range. Regional Study - Mount Abu, Rajasthan

The entire mountain range can broadly be divided into: The northeastern hill range to the northwest of Jaipur district with an average height of 550-650 m (Alwar hills) and intermittent wide valleys The central Aravalli hill range comprising hills of Shekhawati and Marwar region with an average height of 400 m (Shekhawati hills) The Mewar hills covering the area of Udaipur, Dungarpur and Sirohi districts with the relief varying from a plateau between Kumbhalgarh and Gogunda to uniformly rolling country on the south-central part. The Mt. Abu hill range, with an average 1,200 m height, constituted by the Abu batholith of the Erinpura Granite. The highest peak called Guru Shikhar is 1,722 m above MSL and is situated on Mount Abu. The Aravalli range partly forms one of the main watersheds of India, which divides drainage to the Bay of Bengal from Fig No.19 Aravalli hill region the Arabian Sea. The geographical significance of the Aravalli range is that it has prevented the spread of Thar Desert; especially in the south east direction by the basins of Sukli (of which Sipu river is part), Luni, Sabarmati and most importantly the Banas river all of which have origins in these hills. The study region forms the southern part of the Aravalli range. It occurs as a slightly isolated hill separated by a long narrow valley. The longer axis of the hill aligns with the axis of the Aravallis. The overall topography of the study region is undulating, highly rugged and dissected terrain with high rising hills and deep valleys. The tract is much intersected and broken up by rocky hilltops interspersed with a network of streams and nallahs, the slope is medium and at places very steep. The configuration of the land is hilly and rugged with high altitudinal variation ranging from 300m to above 1700m at Guru Shikhar. The top of the hill is characterized by a continuous series of undulating plateaus but comparatively gentler slopes which forms part of various tourist destinations. The plateau is marked by a number of artificial lakes of which Nakki Lake is the most prominent. The topography presents a picture of tangled wilderness of valleys, ridges, plateaus, with a network of streams and nallahs. The foothills of the range on either side are intersected by numerous water courses, which become torrents of greater or less volume in the rainy season, but are dry during the remainder of the year. The study region drains into Sukli river basin (of which Sipu river is a part) on the Northwest and into Banas river basin in the southeast.

Slope is an important determinant as it influences the hydrology of the terrain, soil depth and erosion susceptibility, recharge potential and surface storage, and vegetation. Slope also determines the suitability for various land uses as well as conservation measures. Since the topography of the study region is highly undulating with hills, deep valleys and plateaus it has a wide slope range. Slope categories for the purpose of analysis are as follows: 1. Extremely steep (100% &above), 2. Very steep (33-100%), 3. Steep (25-33%), 4. Moderate (15-25% & 10-15%), 4. Gentle slope (5-10% & 2-5%), 5. Flat-gentle (0-2%). Northwestern edge of the mountain is characterized by very steep slopes ranging from 33-100% and greater than 100% slopes. The edge falls sharply to the foothills and is in the most parts highly inaccessible. These slopes are very densely vegetated. Regional Study - Mount Abu, Rajasthan

The series of plateaus extending from Mt.Abu through Achalgarh, Oriya and Jawai villages have gentle to moderate slopes and show suitability for agriculture and settlements. Beyond Jawai in the north-east direction steep rise begins interjecting the series of plateau and terminating in to Gurushikhar at 1722m; the highest peak of Aravalli region. Though the angle of repose of the gravelly soil, the type found in the study region, ranges from 30-35 degrees, however the soil depth and type makes erosion a serious problem even at slightly gentler slopes with rocky barren surfaces and high rainfall. Soil erosion adversely affects the vegetation cover and therefore the forest resources and agriculture on which local community is dependent. Thus it may be inferred that soil erosion directly and indirectly affects the livelihood of people.

Mineral resources of Rajasthan Rajasthan, endowed with a rich mineral wealth, occupies a significant position on the mineral map of the country. In the area of metallic and non-metallic minerals, Rajasthan, leads the country by possessing 19% of working mines. It possesses a wide range of mineral resources and offers considerable potential for the future. The important metallic minerals with which the name of the State is intimately associated are: lead, zinc, copper and tungsten. It is also richly endowed with a variety of non-metallic minerals. Rajasthan has also enormous deposits of building stones like marble, granite, sandstone, limestone, slate etc. It is a leading producer of asbestos, soapstone/steatite, gypsum, rock phosphate, calcite, feldspar, clay etc. Presently, the State enjoys a monopoly in the production of wollastonite, emerald, jasper and semi-precious garnet. In addition, the State has good deposits of lignite in Bikaner, Nagaur and Barmer districts. Regional Study - Mount Abu, Rajasthan

Mount Abu is a granitic intrusion into older Delhi super group (DSG) formed during the lower to middle Proterozoic period (2500-1000 Million years ago). It is overlaid on the much older Aravalli super group (ASG) which is over 3500-2600 million years old and from which the Mountain range gets its name. Mount Abu is entirely formed of Erinpura granite (735 million years ago) and Jhalor granites (740-430 million years ago) of the Malani igneous suite formed during the upper Proterozoic period. Aravallis were formed as result of faulting and hence of structural origin. The evolutionary history suggests at least two Orogenic movements, an Aravalli orogeny in early Proterozoic age and Fig No.24 A characterization of typical granite intrusion second orogeny in middle Proterozoic age which affected the ASG as well as younger DSG. The evolution of Aravallis in terms of plate tectonic model has been discussed by Sinha Roy (1988); Sugden et al. (1990); Banerjee and Bhattacharya, (1994) and Sharma, (1995). All the models suggest that the Aravalli craton was consolidated during the period 3500-2600Ma. Rifting of the crust started around 2000 Ma, as suggested by development of ASG and DSG of rocks in terms of plate tectonics model (Sinha Roy, 1988). Results of deep crustal reflection studies (Tewari et al., 1995; Reddy et al., 1995, a, b) along Nagaur (27.2° N, 73.7°E) to Jhalawar (24.6°N, 76.2°E) support the model of evolution of Delhi-Aravalli Fig No.25 Bowl formations on rocky plateau giving rise folded belts in terms of plate tectonics. The Precambrian crust, to many lakes composed mostly of BGC (Banded Gneissic Complex) (including Berach Granite) underwent rifting processes as early as 2500 Ma, resulting in the formation of two continental blocks –eastern and western. As a result of this rifting, the ASG of rocks were deposited in the rifted basin. Coming together of the continental blocks resulted in the formation of major thrusts, which led to the uplift of sediments and formation of the Aravalli Mountain Range. Dykes of younger origin (upper proterozoic) consisting chiefly of granite porphyry, Rhyolite porphyry and Dolerite are occasionally Fig No.26 Highly jointed granite formations become observed indicative of the regions volcanic past. Younger granite cools slowly under high pressure forming a susceptible to fluvial erosion and chemical weathering uniformly arranged crystalline structure consisting of black and white minerals. Also during intrusion under high pressure and temperature, the older granite metamorphoses into Gneiss. Gneiss displays distinct foliation consisting of alternating layers of different minerals. Granites exhibit jointing in all three directions and therefore mount Abu hills are heavily dissected. Due to jointing granitic rocks get dislodged and also become prone to erosion. As a result the landform of the study region is marked by massive rocks eroded due to chemical weathering and presence of high moisture in the densely vegetated parts of the hill. Potash feldspar gets dissolved into water weakening the crystalline structure of the rock which then displays a characteristic sinuous Fig No.27 Chemical weathering of felspar result in weakening of crystalline structure resulting in dugouts dugout rocks in the entire landscape. Highly jointed and fissured granitic base severely undermines the surface water holding capacity of the lakes found on the plateau. The ground water level drops are very high due to this reason. Open wells and tubewells observed in Oriya and Jawai villages report a drop in level to 15-21 metres during the summer. This also implies that water holding capacity of Nakki lake may be threatened if the lake bed is disturbed.

The soil types found in the region comprise of: • Sandy Red Soil- these soils have formed by the disintegration of granite, grani gneiss, quartzite and sandstone • Gravelly Red Soil – they are well drained similar to sandy red soils but with larger particle size. • Red and yellow soils - The reddish – yellow colour is due to the presence of iron oxide. These soils are formed where the rainfall is low and there is a little leaching lesser than that in the laterite soils. Red soils are as such usually developed on old crystalline and metamorphic rocks. These contain more sand and comparatively less clay and are porous. These soils cannot retain moisture for a longtime. Regional Study - Mount Abu, Rajasthan

In general these soils are deficient in lime, magnesia, phosphates, nitrogen, humus and potash. Intense leaching is a menace to these soils. In the undulating plateau areas, they are thin, poor and gravelly, sandy, or stony and porous, light-coloured soils on which food crops like bajra or maize can be grown. But on the lower plains and valleys they are rich, deep, dark coloured fertile loam on which, under irrigation, can produce excellent crops like cotton, wheat, pulses, tobacco, jowar, linseed, millets, potatoes and fruits. These are also characterised by stunted forest growth and are suited to dry farming. Oxidation of ferromagnesium forms iron oxide which imparts characteristic red color to the soil in the region. Water enters into the joints in rocks and faults widening them by erosion. Soil lodges into these widened joints where vegetation takes hold causing further erosion of rocks. Dense vegetation growing in such crevices is a characteristic of landscape of granitic origin. On upper slopes, the soils are reddish brown to grayish brown in colour, light textured fairly drained devoid of humus and strongly liable to water erosion. In the lower region, the soil eroded from Fig No.31 Locations from which soil samples are taken hills is reddish to yellowish red in color and vary from light to rich alluvium of varying depth. In terms of soil depth the region is marked by rocky outcrops which are highly prone to erosion and show barren rock faces to soil depth less than 10cm irrespective of the slope. The major portion of the study region is covered by shallow to moderately shallow soils ranging from 10-40 cm deep with irrigated lands 1.Jawai Lake Point showing depth up to 60cm on the plateau. Deep soils in excess of 60cm are found at very few places. Despite the vegetation suitability on gentler slopes and deeper soils they have been preserved well on steeper slopes and shallower soils. This indicates degradation of anthropogenic origin. The susceptibility to soil erosion of these clay deficient 3.Farm at Oriya Village well drained soils is very high, especially on steeper slopes and hence need to be conserved.

• The region falls under two river basins namely River Sukli and River Banas. • Sukli is a tributary of River Banas, which later joins River Banas downstream of the region. • Mount Abu region gets an average annual rainfall of 1600mm, while the surrounding regions get an average annual rainfall of 650mm. • The average ground water level of the region ranges between 280m – 320m. • The region has an average run-off of about 88% due to the steep slopes, rocky outcrops and shallow soil depths. So the maximum rain water results in run off. • The possibility of percolation of water is very less. Check dams have been built on the streams to capture and store water at the foot hills. These dams cater to the water needs of the settlements downstream of Mt Abu. Regional Study - Mount Abu, Rajasthan

Total Water Available in Watershed (Supply) To calculate the amount of water collected in a given watershed, the equation is as follows: VOLUME OF WATER RECEIVED IN WATERSHED (m³) = AVERAGE ANNUAL RAINFALL (m) x AREA (m²) Runoff Calculation: According to SCS - CN Method (Soil Conservation services (SCS) of US) for Runoff Calculation, S = (25400/CN)-254 where, S = Retention (mm), CN = it ranges from 0 to 100, CN = 0, means Complete Retention CN = 100, means Zero Retention. Now, Q = [ P - 0 . 2 ( S ) ]² / [ P + 0 . 8 ( S ) ] where, Q = River Flow (mm), P = Precipitation / Rainfall (mm), Thus, to calculate total runoff volume, Runoff Volume (m³) = Q ( m ) x Area (m²)

Ground Water

Hydro-geological Condition Groundwater occurs under water table condition both in unconsolidated and consolidated saturated zone of formation. Its occurrence is controlled by topography, physiography and structural features of the geological formations. The movement of the groundwater in hard rock areas is governed by size, openness, interconnection and continuity of structural weak planes while in unconsolidated rocks, ground water movement takes place through pore space between grains. Heavily jointed granitic formations and dissected topography also influence groundwater percolation to perched aquifers. Water level between 10m to 30m below ground level is observed in Mount Abu region during pre monsoon, whereas during post monsoon water level is as high as 1m to 2m below ground level.

Methodology The degradation stages have been derived by considering following layers: • Vegetation density • Slope / topography The factors responsible for degradation are: • Biotic factors like grazing, timber extraction, fuel collection, forest fires etc. • Anthropogenic activities like timber extraction, grazing has caused wastelands to develop within the sanctuary boundary. Forest Characteristics • Mt. Abu area is considered to be the richest spot of floral diversity in whole of Rajasthan. • Mount Abu area has significant ecological importance comprising of dry deciduous forests at lower altitude and evergreen forests at higher altitude and the flora and fauna of the region comprise of several endemic and rare species. • These forests consist of 112 plant families with 449 genera and 820 species. Of these, 663 species are dicots while 157 species are monocots. • Variety of flora & fauna for ex. leopard, sloth bear, wild boar, Sambhar, langur can be seen in the sanctuary area. More than 246 species of exotic birds, including the rare grey jungle fowl, green munia nestle the sanctuary, making it a bird watchers paradise. • Some endemic, rare and threatened plants viz. Diclipteraabuensis, Strobillanthescallosus, Ischaemumkingii, Convolvulus blatteri, Ceropegiaodorata, and Hydrillapolysperma are found here. • On comparing the vegetation of Mt. Abu with that of western Himalayas in the north and Ghats in the south, Gupta & Saxena (1968) concluded that about 40% of the species are common and are mostly represented in the sub-tropical regions (ranging from plains to 1,500 m) of the Himalayas while more than 30% of the species are present in the Ghat forest of Mahabaleshwar and Matheran. Similarly comparison with the flora of Panchmari, in central India showed 29% of the species common to both. • Ground Fire is mostly the type of forest fire, Canopy Fire is rare & reason of almost all the forest fires is the anthropogenic activities. • Pine, Oak, Eucalyptus and even Mango are all the exotic species which are well adapted in the ecosystem of Abu. • Similarly, invasive species Lantana camera, Prosopis juliflora, Argemone mexicana etc. are largely spreading and competes for nutrition, space and sun with the native forest species. • There local communities within the region namely Bhil and Garasiyas, which depend majorly on forest for its livelihood. • The nearby villages depend on forest for timber, fuelwood, cattle grazing and other forest produce. • However lack of environmental awareness among the locals is also posing threat to the ecosystem of the Reasons behind Forest Degradation Anthropogenic activities: • Local communities : • Fuel wood and timber extraction • Killing of animals like goats, junglefowl, partridges, quails, boars, hares, sambhars, buffalo and peacocks etc. for food • Burning of forest for cultural reasons • Tree felling: Illicit cutting of wood for use in the boilers at hotels and resorts, making furniture, roof construction etc. • Fire: Crown fires are rare, but ground fires are very frequent caused due to human carelessness. The risk and damage is more in summers since undergrowth is dry along with dry leaf litter and dry wood making a forest highly inflammable. Fire leads to : • • • •

Loss of organisms under the soil Top soil prone to erosion Loss of animal habitat Harm to existing trees

• Over grazing: Livestock has caused huge grazing pressures and led to wasteland formation which further leads to other problems like • Soil erosion • Shallow top soil • Less ground water recharge • Drought in dry summers • Lack of drinking water for animal • Invasive species have caused havoc in the forest not only for carnivorous but also for the herbivores. Various species are : • Lantana camera • Prosopis juliflora • Parthenium hysterophorus • Argemone maxicana • Very large areas are infested by these species which are not utilized by the herbivores and they reduce grass cover on the ground, adversely affecting the herbivore population. These low populations of herbivores cause low availability of prey to the carnivores. Observations • Heavy dense forest is found in the western part (Abu forest Block No.1) of the region as due to inaccessibility via connecting routes it remains undisturbed, hence forms a very good habitat for sloth bear, panther and other species • Northern (Abu forest Block No.3) and eastern part (Abu forest Block No.2) of the region is most affected due to anthropogenic activities like agriculture, grazing etc. which needs to be taken care to prevent habitat fragmentation • The southern part (Abu forest Block No.1) has fairly dense vegetation and needs to be conserved with appropriate up gradation as required.

Table No.10 Degradation stages Source : Forest Ecology (volume I) – G.S Puri

Vegetation Types 01-Savanna Woodland The areas with the northern aspect are more densely wooded than those with southern aspect which are also exposed to the direct action of the southwest salty winds. In the latter case the thorny species predominate. On the northern slopes, the density of the crop is about 0.4 and height growth varies between 7 and 8 m. Dry Deciduous Low Forest

02-Shrub Savanna Acacia leucopholea and Butea monosperma are reduced to a shrubby size. Among the low shrubs are Ziziphus nummularia, Mimosa rubicaulis and Securinega virosa.there is a good growth of grasses about 100 cm high Scrub woodland during the rains. Regional Study - Mount Abu, Rajasthan

03-Thorny Thicket Discontinuous Thicket and In the thickets due to the dearth of inflammable material the risk of fire is minimised and spiny/thorny shrubs scattered shrubs are the prevailing elements. Dichrestachys cinerea, Ziziphus nummularia, Flacourtia indica, Commiphora mukul, Acacia leucophloea, Acacia senegal. Tree Savanna

04-Discontinuous Thicket and Scattered Shrubs The density of the shrubs becomes gradually less and less. Shrubs present an average height of 2m. The essential constituents are Euphorbia caducifolia, Grewia tenax, Dichrostachys cinerea, Acacia senegal, Acacia leucophloea, Maytenus emarginata, Balanites aegyptiaca,Securinega virosa, Ziziphus nummularia, Commiphora mukul, Ehretia laevis. 05-Tree Savanna These areas are grass reserves. Grazing is generally not permitted but grasses are allowed to be cut. Lopping and hacking are common. Due to persistent maltreatment, only few malformed trees are left amidst the grass cover.

Table No.11 Degradation stages

Source : Forest Ecology (volume I) – G.S Puri

01-Scrub Woodland Due to continuous indiscriminate cutting, rampant grazing, browsing and periodical fires most of the tree species have been reduced to a shrubby stage. The shrub layer becomes comparatively denser forming a thicket about 1 ½ m high from which some isolated trees- 3 m to 4 m high- emerge here and there. The tree species are: Anogeissus pendula, Acacia Senegal or Acacia catechu, Acacia leucophloea, Bauhinia racemosa and Holoptelea integrifolia. 02-Thorny Thicket When the trees of the scrub-woodland formation have disappeared, the resulting physiognomy is a thornythicket. The general height of the crop is 3 m to 4 m. Species typical of this series are: Aerva persica, Prosopis cineraria, Capparis decidua, Sericostoma pauciflorum. 03-Discontinuous Thicket This is the next stage of degradation where the regeneration, both coppice and seed, is not allowed to come up because of continuous browsing and grazing. The spread of such bushes is almost 2 m in diameter. Euphorbia caducifolia and Rhus mysorensis are two common shrubs. Ground flora is sparse. 04-Tree Savanna Grasslands containing rather tall grasses, about 1 m high, like Dichanthium annulatum, Apluda mutica, Themeda quadrivalvis, Eremopogon foveolatus with scattered trees. 05-Shrub Savanna Certain areas known locally as jors or birs( grass reserves) are earmarked for the production of grass and grazing. They are interspersed with cultivation. Shrubs about 3-4m in height, are scattered amidst grass cover attaining a height of 1 m and even more during the rains. 06-Scattered Shrubs This type represents the most devastated stage of degradation. Due to the exposure of the soil to the fury of the monsoon rains and high velocity of winds, the soil has been most completely eroded.the general height of the shrubs is about 2m.

Vegetation suitability map shows areas well suited for vegetation in the study region. It does not take into consideration the existing vegetation density or degradation. Parameters considered for vegetation suitability are 1. Slope, 2. Hydrology, 3. Geology and, 4. Soil depth. Steep slopes greater than 25% have been considered as difficult to establish vegetation. Streams and their influence areas, based on gradient and stream order, have been considered good for vegetation suitability. Geological features like lineaments which are associated with locations offering good recharge potential and high moisture content have been considered as highly suitable. Rocky outcrops have been considered as not suitable. Shallow soils have been considered as less suitable. Regional Study - Mount Abu, Rajasthan

Inference On comparison of vegetation suitability with vegetation degradation map it can be inferred that areas suitable for vegetation have undergone degradation and fragmentation whereas areas least suitable for vegetation, like steep slopes, have dense vegetation. This indicates degradation due to anthropogenic activities and development pressures. Inaccessibility of areas with very steep slopes has resulted in preservation of vegetation and forest cover in the study region.

Fig No.49 Soil Erosion Susceptibility

Less cohesive soil type of granitic origin, highly undulating topography with very steep slopes coupled with high rainfall concentrated during monsoon makes greater part of study region highly susceptible to erosion. Study of erosion susceptibility is important because it directly affects the quality of vegetation in the forest as well as agriculture yield in the study region. Poor agriculture yield increases direct and indirect dependency on forest leading to further degradation of the forest endangering in the process floral and faunal diversity of the region. Parameters that directly affect the erosion potential are: 1. Slope, 2. Soil texture, 3. Hydrology, 4. Vegetation suitability 1. Slope: Slope is the single most important factor affecting soil erosion. Steep slopes on rocky surfaces increase surface run off and long continuous slope lengths further increases the erodability of storm water. Regional Study - Mount Abu, Rajasthan

Masters in Landscape Architecture and Design, CEPT University, Batch 2013 - 2015


The Region

2. Soil texture: Coarse textured and cohension less soil found in the study region is highly susceptible to erosion. Rocky outcrops with less than 10 cm soil depth with little or no vegtative cover have also been considered highly susceptible. 3. Hydrology: Rainfall on steep slopes and rocky terrain result in sudden swelling of streams carrying water at great velocities. The influence areas of these streams have been considered as areas of high erosion susceptibility. 4. Vegetation suitability: despite densely vegetated, very steep slopes have been considered as susceptible to Methodology: For analysis, map overlay was used. 1.

Fig No. 50 Water Recharge Potential

Dykes and lineaments have been considered as areas which are most suitable for recharge because fractured strata of dykes and weaker zones of rock basement around the lineaments have very high potential for ground water recharge. Stream edges including their spill areas during high rainfall, i.e. their influence areas have been considered very suitable in terms of recharge potential. Coarse grained texture with less clay content of soil found in the study region have high percolation rates, therefore areas with deeper soils have been considered as suitable for recharge potential. However, areas with deeper soils at foothills where chemical fertilizer and pesticide based agriculture is practiced have been downgraded for recharge potential. Similarly wastelands found at the foothills of the study region have been upgraded for the recharge potential. Rocky outcrops with shallow soil cover have been considered poor for ground water recharge. At the foothills, the zone formed at the convergence of steeper granitic hill with flatter terrain has been considered suitable for recharge because storm runoff from the hill slows down due to change in gradient and deeper soils in these zones. Very steep slopes, despite vegetation cover have been considered poor for recharge. Regional Study - Mount Abu, Rajasthan

Observations • Most suitable habitat is seen on the western side (Abu Forest Block No.1) of the region, the reason being less human intervention due to steep slopes. • Green Munia is commonly sighted within the agricultural fields with the altitudinal range of 900m and above. • Fewer habitats of these animals are observed close to town and along the roads where human accessibility is high. • Moderate habitat of these animals are scattered as we moved towards the lower altitude i.e. plains, where signs of exploitation due to human habitation occurs. • Moreover the region suffers from habitat fragmentation which is majorly observed in Abu Forest Block No. 3 due to anthropogenic activities.

Fig No. 52 Critical zones

Critical assessment of the study region helps in understanding the inter-relationship between natural resources, dependency on them, their availability and ultimately pressure created on them for their various use values. It tries to correlate these dependencies vis-Ă -vis intrinsic value of these resources which in turn determines the suitability of region for various land uses. Suitability inferred from critical assessment of the region, both as opportunities and limitations have been considered as determining as well as limiting factors. Critical assessment of the study region in terms of its natural resources involve their evaluation in current state; identify potential threats that can cause degradation and landscape values to be conserved, and finding appropriate solutions for their up gradation and enhancement. For this purpose a Conservation criticality zone map was made. The parameters considered were, 1.Erosion susceptibility, 2.Recharge potential and, 3.Habitat suitability. Methodology involved overlay of erosion susceptibility map, recharge potential map and habitat suitability map. Regional Study - Mount Abu, Rajasthan

Erosion susceptibility Soil erosion directly affects not only the existing vegetation cover but also its regeneration possibilities. It also impacts the agriculture of a region and therefore affects livelihood and income sources. Meager agriculture and horticulture produce in the study region barely supports local consumption. Poor agriculture produce has increased dependency on dairy products for dietary requirements. Cattle keeping therefore have become important to their livelihoods. However, this increases dependency on forest in terms of fodder requirements. Cattle grazing deplete fodder in the forest on which wildlife is also dependent. Furthermore grazing on slopes with less soil depth aggravates the problem of soil erosion. To augment income, pressure increases on forest produce. Firewood is obtained by lopping trees. Besides domestic use it is also sold in town. This results in further degradation of forest vegetation cover and ecology of the study region.

In this way it forms a vicious circle triggered by high susceptibility to erosion which in turn affects the livelihoods, this results in increased dependency on forest causing degradation which further, in a sort of feedback mechanism, increases susceptibility to erosion. In this sense erosion susceptibility has been considered as the most important and weighted parameter in assessing conservation criticality.

Fig No.53 Vicious Circle

Ground water recharge potential Despite good annual rainfall, owing to geology and topography and Mt. Abu faces shortage of water. Lakes run dry due to high percolation rates and surface evaporation. Undulating terrain with very steep slopes results in high surface runoff. Deep subsidence of ground water in open and tube wells, depletion of water in lakes and lack of irrigation facilities affect the agriculture and fodder availability. Hence conserving water resources, improving rainwater harvesting possibilities and augmenting recharge potential is very important for improving vegetation cover, up gradation of degraded forest, and resilience to erosion and livelihood possibilities. Habitat suitability A healthy ecosystem is dependent on a good balance between floral and faunal component. This is more so important in the context of study region because a larger part of it is also a habitat to wildlife with rich floral and faunal diversity and species richness. However, pressure from human dependency may threaten habitat suitability due to forest degradation and ultimately the ecosystem of the study region. This may further increase the chances of man animal conflict due to habitat loss. Thus conservation of existing habitats and up gradation of degraded habitats sustainably is an important aspect of critical assessment of study region. Though tourism is important to local economy and employment generation, however, unsustainable development of tourism may threaten regions ecosystem.

The overlay of these maps help in identifying zones with similar criticality and therefore possible solutions for conservation. The aim is to conserve highly critical zones, upgrade the degraded areas according to their criticality and propose sustainable development measures in less critical zones. Study region has been divided into four critical zones in descending order of conservation criticality from Zone 1 to Zone 4. Conservation criticality zone map then forms the basis for development proposal guidelines with emphasis on conservation and sustainability. Regional Study - Mount Abu, Rajasthan

Important inferences that can be derived from analysis of natural resources, overlay maps and critical zone map are: 1. Susceptibility to erosion is one of the core threats in the study region from landscape conservation perspective and therefore needs to be addressed both in terms of conservation of these areas and improving resilience against erosion through appropriate measures. 2. Degrading ecosystem of the region can be directly attributed to anthropogenic activities related to augmentation of income and livelihood through increased dependency on forest produce and through tourism. Other biotic pressure related to animal husbandry, cattle rearing and rabbit farming are also directly affecting the ecosystem of the study region. Thus livelihood upgradation through sustainable development, efficient forest resource management through community participation, and creative ways to enhance income and employment through dissemination of information on alternative sustainable practices. 3. Water scarcity is an important concern and measures to improve water balance of the region should be one of the primary objectives. 4. Vegetation degradation and habitat fragmentation is one of the grave threats to the regions ecosystem. Regional Study - Mount Abu, Rajasthan

Topographically Mt. Abu can be considered as an agglomeration of series of undulating plateaus. Comfortable climate, gentler slopes and availability of water from lakes makes this plateau suitable for human settlement and development. This is the reason why Mt.abu is characterized by; 1. Long history of human settlement. 2. Religious pilgrimage and heritage. 3. Tourism and related activities. This, however also means that the plateau areas have come under maximum influence of anthropogenic activities and development. Vegetation degradation map and vegetation suitability map also corroborate such an inference. All anthropogenic activities are in turn, direct or indirect, functions of natural resources available; water being the most important. At the same time anthropogenic activities are delimited by physical aspect like topography, for example, excessive slopes and inaccessibility makes development very difficult; or at times by strong landscape values and aesthetic experiences of forest, rivers, mountains open vistas etc. With this understanding sub region has been defined as an extent delimited by the abovementioned factors. For the purpose of this study sub region has been delineated by following determining factors: • Watersheds and catchments which govern the surface hydrology and help determining flow directions. Watershed analysis helps understanding water availability to lakes and reservoirs in the sub region. • Inclusion of all popular tourist spots. • Inclusion of all important religious places. • Villages and settlements directly under influence of tourism activities. • Mt. Abu town as the heritage, cultural and historic hub that controls tourist activities and also the microeconomics of the region.

• Though sub region covers all the slope ranges those varying from 5-15% slopes are greater in comparison. Settlements are mostly found in this range. • Areas with gentle slopes have deeper soils (50 -90 cm and above); as such they are favorable for agriculture. It is actively practiced in flatter areas of Oriya, Achalgarh and Jawai villages. However, due to coarse textured gravelly and non cohesive soils these areas are susceptible to erosion. • Bowl like formations terminating into steeper slopes of the hills generate a sense of enclosure, for example, Abu town area; especially around Nakki lake, Delwada area and Oriya. Whereas plateau terminating in steeper slopes of valleys open up vistas towards distant ranges and geographical features like lakes, rivers on the foothills, for example, Sunset point, Trevor tank and Jawai lake area. This produces an experience of interspersed open and close spaces in sub region. These places can be developed as potential tourist spots. Regional Study - Mount Abu, Rajasthan

The vegetation density map has been considered as one of the key factors affecting the soil erosion susceptibility, recharge potential and habitat suitability of the region, these along with topography and hydrology form the basis for proposal in the Land Suitability Map. Census 2011 clearly states that 20% of the Mount Abu town is dependent upon firewood as a source of fuel. Also of the total population of the villages around, it can be assumed that almost 80% of the households in the villages are dependent on firewood as the basic source of fuel. Considering each of them as gives us the total amount of firewood required and hence the depletion of the forest cover through cutting of the trees. Regional Study - Mount Abu, Rajasthan

1,43,032 kg of firewood is required to cater to the Households every month. 17,16,390 kg required every year. This directly causes vegetation degradation leading to soil erosion. The aspects considered to achieve a greater standard of experiential quality in the sub region are: • To conserve and protect the existing forest by improving the avian and faunal habitat in the sanctuary and controlling proliferation of the invasive species • To improve erosion resilience by appropriate afforestation, especially on steep slopes. • By upgrading degraded forest through introduction of native species. • By upgrading local livelihoods through minor forest produce practices and community forest management practices. • By controlling access to critical areas. • To propose tourism related activities. • To propose sustainable development.

Population growth rate of Mount Abu Town has deteriorated from 4.21%(1991-2001) to 0.36%(20012011). The reason could be the reduction in agricultural practices as an occupation lack of Institutions in the town, that is driving people to move out. Also the occupation is shifting to tertiary sector, as there is less oppourtunity of agriculture.

As discussed earlier, sub region comes under direct influence of anthropogenic activities and demands in terms of land productivity (agriculture and other biotic pressures), tourism and development based land uses. To propose appropriate land uses it is important to identify critical areas for conservation. Methodology used for analysis was overlay of: 1. Soil erosion susceptibility map created on the basis of slope, hydrology, soil texture and vegetation as important parameters. 2. Ground water recharge potential map where slope, geology, hydrology and soil are governing parameters. 3. Habitat suitability based on considerations of slope, elevation and vegetation density as guiding factors. The Critical zone map, thus created, helps identifying criticality of zones in terms of conservation. Land suitability map was created to identify appropriate land uses in the sub region.

(According to Kaiser et al 1995), “Land suitability analysis is a systematic procedure for examining combined effects of a related set of factors…assumed to be important determinants of locational suitability”. Based on this understanding, for the purpose of this study, ‘land suitability, may be defined as appropriateness of an area for a certain land use where not only it has least negative impacts on natural layers but also where opportunities to improve landscape values are considered important when weighed against competing development driven land uses. Land suitability for various land uses can be broadly classified as under: 1. For conservation. 2. For up gradation of degraded areas. 3. For land uses relating to augmenting livelihoods through sustainable means. 4. For tourism and infrastructure development. Regional Study - Mount Abu, Rajasthan

Locational suitability Zone 1 (A,B,C) – Areas with steep slopes with dense vegetation, areas favourable for wildlife habitats, areas around lineaments, those having ground water recharge potential and lakes & streams have been considered for conservation. Zone 2 – Degraded vegetation outside 2 km range from the settlements have been considered suitable for afforestation to improve: • Habitat suitability • Erosion resilience • Availability of minor forest produces. • Accessibility through non vehicular trails and tracks to experience landscape values of forest ecology. Zone 3 – Degraded forest within 2 km range of settlements have been considered suitable for: • Agroforestry, plantations, community participatory forest management and livelihood up gradation. • Camping sites. • Small scale cottage industry, handicrafts, selling minor forest and agriculture produce. Zone 4 – Highly degraded areas within settlements with considerations of slopes, quality of vegetation, size of open spaces have been considered in proposing appropriate land use for development of hotels, commercial and residential buildings, small scale cottage industries and markets for selling handicrafts, agroforestry, agriculture and horticulture produce.

Demonstration area was chosen to understand application of productive landscape management practices and check the outcomes. It seeks to understand by example how community integrative landscape management can augment local economics sustainably. It is believed that such measures can effectively ameliorate and restore degraded ecosystems and prevent destruction of natural resources and forests driven single handedly due to poverty and dependency on the forests: while tourism brings valuable income to the local economy and generates employment; it adds to the already burdened natural resources. For this purpose, an area of 198 hectares comprising Oriya and Jawai villages was chosen as demonstration area. The area was chosen because these villages not only come under the influence of tourism but are also located within the forest area, thereby establishing potential dependency and impacts on the forests. Locational aspect of these villages makes them suitable for study on effective landscape management practices and helps to understand how these practices can improve livelihoods, incomes and generate long term employment to alleviate poverty and forced migration.

The local markets in Abu are a great attraction for shoppers till late in the night. Like all other hill stations, Abu too, has its horse rides, honeymoon and sunset points, which are definitely worth a visit. Entire hills have been carved into layers to accommodate different vistas. All in all, Mount Abu serves as a great tourist destination with its climate and lush green environment.

2.6.1 Tourism Data Mount Abu gets tourists all around the year, the peak inflow seasons being during Diwali, i.e. The month of November and summer holidays, i.e. the months of April and May. It also caters to a certain amount of foreign tourists all around the year. They often come as a part of the Udaipur – Mount Abu – Kumbhalgarh tourist circuit. Mount Abu is also an important place for religious tourism owing to the large number of Jain temples situated there, e.g. the Dilwara temples. It has the World Spiritual University and head quarters of the Bhrama Kumaris, a well known sect. There are lectures and spiritual courses for devotees. Around 65 percent of the tourists coming to Mount Abu, come to enjoy the weather. Gujarat state contributes to 50% of the tourist inflow and foreign tourists form 10% of the total inflow.

2.6.2 Tourist Attractions Evaluation method: •The tourist attractions were ranked on the basis of landscape values, amenities and potential development. •Usability of potential sites was also studied. •Tourist spots were categorised on the basis of religious, adventure and sight seeing. •Comparative analysis of the plaes of tourist interest on the basis of common parameters such as distance, amenities and landscape values. Each site has been evaluated on the basis of availability of basic facilities like lodging, food, commercial activity etc. This helped in understanding whether the location was underused or overused. This will also help to recognize the tourist paths based onthe usability of these points of interest, thus seeing the scope for future development. Distance was measured keeping Nakki lake as the point of origin, as it is the hub of major commercial activity in Mount Abu. This helped in understanding the pedestrian potential of Mount Abu. This also helped recognize popular trekking trails. Amenities were rated on the basis of their quantity, visibility and availability. Larger sites like Guru Shikhar where there is a heavy foot fall were found incapable of handling the current volumes of tourist/ visitors in terms of basic amenities while privately owned places like Peace park had all facilities inspite of a low foot fall. All these criteria were helpful in evaluating the development of the tourist places.

2.6.2 Tourist Attractions Nakki Lake: It is a very ancient sacred Lake, according to the Hindu legend. It is called by this name because it was dug out with nails (Nakh). One story is of it being dug by Gods to live in, for protection against the Bashkali rakshash (a wicked demon). While other is of Rasiya Balam (a sculpture of Dilwara Jain temple), who dug the lake, as the king told that whoever will dug the lake within one night I will marry my daughter to him. Temple of Rasiya Balam and Kunwari Kanya (king’s daughter)’s is located behind the Dilwara Jain temple. The lake is in length of about 800m and in width about 400m and 20 to 30 ft. deep towards the dam on the west. It is an important tourist attraction of Mount Abu. Toad Rock is located on a hill near the lake. By the side of the lake there is a path leading to Sunset Point. Raghunath Temple and Maharaja Jaipur Palace are also on hills near the Lake. Boating in the lake and horse rides are available around the lake. Mahatma Gandhi’s ashes were immersed in this Holy Lake on 12 February 1948 and the Gandhi Ghat was constructed.

Peace Park: The Peace park is nestled between two famous peaks of the Aravali hills – the well known spiritual pilgrimage destinations of Gurusikhar and Achalgarh. The park is 8kms from the Brahma Kumaris headquarters in Mount Abu. The park offers a perfect recreation retreat, with playing fields, picnic areas, swings, and nature walks. Unique rock gardens play host to a wide variety of Succulents. The park is landscaped to house an orchard and citrus corner as well as floral displays which include ornamental shrubs, climbers and creepers. The garden shows a short video presentation highlighting the concepts and techniques of Rajyoga. One can also go for meditation, in the place of your choice- open – air grass hut, the stone cave, the bamboo meditation hut or simply a quiet corner in the serene ambiance.

2.6.4 Tourism Potentials Carrying Capacity For a given region, carrying capacity is the maximum number of individuals of a given species that an area’s resources can sustain indefinitely without significantly depleting or degrading those resources. For humans, the definition is expanded to include not degrading our cultural and social environments and not harming the physical environment in ways that would adversely affect future generations. Source: www.wikipedia.org

Table No.27 Carrying capacity of existing tourist spots: It can be derived that Sunset point holds the maximum existing load during peak hours.

Calculation of carrying capacity

Table No.28 Carrying capacity of proposed tourist spots: Potential tourist spots are to be used as buffers to divert people from the maximum crowded areas.

Ideal carrying capacity = (Area of spot/ Area required per person) / (Time required per area/ Working hours) Existing load = Estimated number of people/ Working hours Potentials According to the identified tourist attractions there are idicators with subcatagories which are classified in accordance to the tourist place. There is an representation of presence or absence of the indicators in the current scenario. The potentials which are shown is rated, to be increased or decreased, shown using arrows to depict the potential of the site to its benefit. There are some scenarios where the catogories do not apply, or the situation is ideal at present.

Proposed Trails Trail A The trail is designed to be a Night safari trail with the intent of letting the tourist have a clear glimpse of the wildlife therein within their natural habitats. Especially the area chosen for the trail has a populace of leopards and sloth bears apart from the other commonly found fauna. The animals here are commonly known to come out during the night and also during the day for various activities such as drinking from the near by watering hole and also hunting amongst their other activities. The path of the safari would be pre-allocated and mapped out for a safe distance viewing. The windows and the doors would be safely locked and sealed for the viewer’s safety. There would be decided times for the trips as well as the hours in which there would be allowance of the vehicles in-between intervals so as to protect the natural habitat of the fauna. Trail B This trail starts from a designated camping site which has a huge potential for tourists for visiting as well as camping out. Achalgarh is a well know tourist destination for religious reasons but this trail has been allocated to display the many vistas and views along the way for the tourists to break and take in through the journey. Inculcating and associating adventure to the now religious tourist destination is the main intent of this trail as well as encouraging a varied tourist experience catering to all the different preferences. Trail C The already existing Trevor’s tank road has not been widely used by the tourist populace as of now. This trail has been allocated to provide a linkage between the existing path till Trevor’s and beyond till the mini nakki lake. This trail connecting the two water bodies also runs though a wild life sanctuary. The wild life sanctuary is a main attraction for tourist due the crocodiles inhabiting the Trevor’s tank. As one proceeds along this trail, they get a view of the whole picturesque valley below. This area is known to have a population of leopard and sloth bear which can be seen from a safe distance while over looking the lower region from the elevated ridge. Trail D This trail consists of various pause points along the way that have great vistas. Along with that the trail also has sub trails that diverge onto more experiential paths. There are high chances of spotting the indigenous Green munia along with the great views, this trails connects Shanti Shikar to the Adhar Devi temple.

System description Two cabins firmly attached to the rope, one at each terminal station but on the opposite sides. Once driven, they start moving in opposite direction. Once the cabins reach the respective terminal, the system stops automatically. After deboarding of passenger and boarding of fresh ones, the drive is restarted in reverse direction. Jig back movement thus continues. Advantages • Simple System • Low operation and maintenance cost • Comfortable boarding / deboarding and ride • Low investment • Capacity can be easily augmented to the Design limit with the increase in demand.

The hierarchy of roads means categorizing the roads according to their functions and capacities. They can be categorized as Highways, Primary, Secondary and tertiary roads. In case of Mount Abu town the hierarchy of the roads happens as: 1.Primary Roads 2. Secondary Roads 3.Tertiary Roadsv The primary road network is fully connected, meaning you can reach any part from any other without leaving the network. Hence for Mount Abu Town, the road which takes one from Abu road to the Mount Abu town and further till Gurushikhar connecting to the Town and villages on its way is the only primary road. This is the only vehicular road from Abu road to Mount Abu town and further connecting Achalgarh, Oriya, Jawai and Gurushikhar. It goes around the Nakki lake and the polo ground considering them as the major tourist attraction spots. The secondary roads are the streets for collecting and distributing the traffic from the primary roads and providing access to the tertiary roads. In case of the Mount Abu Town these are the streets which take one from the main market places into the interiors of the town. The tertiary roads are basically the streets for access to residence, business or other abutting property. In case of Mount Abu Town also these are majorly the roads going to the residences and then the others are the ones Regional Study - Mount Abu, Rajasthan

Sewage Disposal Currently town lacks a planned sewage disposal and treatment system. Sewage from the city and waste water generated by tourism is directly dumped into the nallahs which find its way into minor and major streams that ultimately joins the Banas river polluting it. Considering 80% of water supplied as waste water generated: Total Household waste water generated= 2477844 Litres/day = 2.48 mld Total Tourist waste water generated = 936000 Litres/day = 0.94 mld Total Waste water generated is 2.48+0.94 = 3.42 mld Also 80% of the households have Septic Tank which constitutes 3217 of the total households; rest of the households have piped sewage network. The presence of septic tanks in huge numbers is one of the reasons for the Ground water pollution. Also a large number of hotels dispose their waste directly into the stream thereby leading to the pollution of these streams. STP of 6mld capacity is under construction with underground sewage pipeline network for Mt.Abu town. Regional Study - Mount Abu, Rajasthan

Few of these spots consist of water as the landscape feature apart from the vegetation. Majorly all the recreational spots are connected through pedestrian walkways and consists of dense vegetation. Therefore, there is a slight demarcation in terms of specific landscape variations on being approached to the recreation venue.

The houses lie away from the main circulation route, hence overall environment in this area is very peaceful. The houses have no demarcated plot boundaries. The three sides other than the front side of these houses are surrounded with vegetation. Here the rocky outcrops make the vegetation pattern interesting to look at, as these outcrops are at different levels, hence plants growing on them are also at different levels which adds to the aesthetic value.

3.3.5 Landscape character of Hotels

Fig No.125 Existing view of Nakki lake

Most of the newly constructed buildings, especially hotels, do not respect the natural terrain of Mount Abu in their design. While most of the old hotels were constructed in the form of terraces and levels, new hotels tend to deform natural slope to form flat base strata. Owing to the natural topography, buildings do not follow a pattern or regular form, instead forming chaotic and haphazard spaces between them.Unlike many other hill stations, most hotels in Mount Abu ignore existing and native vegetation during construction. As they do not provide enough parking as per norms, many guests park their vehicles on the road, causing impaired traffic flow and bottle necking. Whereas previously building heights were restricted to G+1 or 6 m, many new hotels have violated this rule by constructing G+3 or 12m high buildings.

Fig No.126 Existing section showing the character of development near town

• • • •

Supporting development in appropriate hillside locations which respects and protects the natural topography Protecting the natural characteristics of the hillsides Maintaining and enhancing the quality of hillside flora and fauna habitat Encouraging cluster housing options which respond to the natural environment on appropriate sites where grading and site disturbance could be reduced • Encouraging creation of private and public green spaces between development nodes Of key importance to the very character of hillside development is the preservation of undeveloped land which provides natural space, buffering and habitat for native plants and animals. Poorly designed or constructed development will not harmonize with the surroundings to create the necessary components of a complete neighborhood. Development design for hillsides needs to not only protect natural features and provide natural open space; it must also reflect the character and quality of its setting.

3.3.6 Landscape character of Lake Edge Nakki Lake Water Supply to the town of Mount Abu: Town of Mount Abu lies in a bowl formation. The water supply to Mount Abu is dependent upon two main dams namely Upper Kodara and Lower Kodara dams located at a higher elevation when compared to the town. Nakki Lake located at the periphery of the town, is considered as an emergency source of water, which is utilized in the situation of inadequate water in the dams or when the blending of Upper Kodara and Lower Kodara dams, water is provided to the town with Nakki lake water. It has an in-built Filtration unit and pumping station from where water is supplied when in need. If the water collection exceeds beyond the live capacity limit, it overflows into the Karodi Dhawaj Dam located at the foothill of Mount Abu.

Fig No.132 Proposed Edge condition for Nakki Lake

Proposals to upgrade Nakki lake Nakki being a depression receives storm water from the surrounding ridges. Around 5 culverts are present that discharges storm water as well as grey water from some areas into the lake. Along with the water a lot of silt too goes into the lake degrading it. A sewage network along the lake has been proposed with grating on top. Sedimentation tanks at the location of the existing culverts would cater to the silt and allow only water to flow in Nakki. A lot of people throw garbage into the lake, polluting it. Thus a vegetation cover of 2m has been proposed on the lake edge which would prevent the throwing of garbage in the lake as well as prevent people from jumping into it. The vegetation will also improve the aesthetics of the lake. Regional Study - Mount Abu, Rajasthan

Nakki lake acts as the most favorite tourist destination and has a huge foot fall. During peak hours there is a lot of congestion. In order to decrease the congestion a stretch of the periphery could be made pedestrian. There is an alternate route which will cater to the vehicular traffic for the residences. Making the area strictly pedestrian will in turn make the area easy to use for the disabled. A number of seatings are provided along the Nakki lake edge. In order to enhance those areas, the paving material of that area could be changed which would make people aware of those spaces and increase the interaction. With addition of proper lighting, those areas will act as small squares at regular intervals along the edge of the lake. These seatings also provide a very good view of the lake and the background.

Dr. B.R. Ambedkar square lies to the south-east of the Nakki lake plaza and thereby serves a gateway to the same. This square is an important shopping destination for the tourists and a source of economy for the locals. Due to the concentration of these commercial activities associated with this square, vehicular and pedestrian movements from all roads leading this square causes congestion. The plot behind Arbuda hotel is presently used as a parking space for cars, two wheelers and buses. The parking is not organised and leads to congestion within the parking lot as well as the Arbuda square. Also, the roadside venders and hawkers contribute to traffic congestion, which need to be relocated.

Fig No. 139 Dr.Ambedkar square Existing Section AA’

Fig No. 140 Arbuda Proposed Section AA’

Proposal: The circulation pattern of roads and paths leading the square is redesigned, by converting the central road from Polo ground to Nakki for only pedestrian movement and diverting the vehicular flow from Polo groun via Nagarpalika to Nakki. The parking would be shifted near Sher e Punjab square and near Polo ground. Present Bus parking along with a tourist pickup point is proposed on Polo ground. The Existing Bus parking is converted to Pedestrain zone with a place to accommodate the local hawkers and venders at one place, which will transform the character of the area. This would act as an extension of the Nakki market. Regional Study - Mount Abu, Rajasthan

A number of squares are formed within the city but they are not seen or used as public squares due to a number of reasons. The squares form a transition space along with the asphalt road as the material used is the same. All activities that happen along the road happen in these squares too thus not differentiating them. At the end they just act as parking spaces.

Proposal: The squares need to be defined as a pause point in order to change the use of this area. The area presently is just used for parking and circulation. The area has a number of restaurants and food shops around and thus could be transformed into a food court with seatings outside. The central court will have an inviting and comfortable atmosphere with the use of trees and different paving patterns. The vacant government plot next to the square would be upgraded by removal of existing Prosopis juliflora vegetation and merging it with the square. The area of the plot next to the road will be used as a parking lot while the entire area inside will be made pedestrian.

The marble temples of Dilwara is a sacred pilgrimage place of the Jains. It is considered to be one of the most beautiful Jain pilgrimage sites in the world. The marble temple has an opulent entranceway, the simplicity in architecture reflecting Jain values like honesty and frugality. Abu town started with the Dilwara temple nestled in the lush green hill. That was the basic character of the town. Over the period the character of the sacred place has been lost due to haphazard settlements around it. The temple which once used to stand out , now is lost in the concrete around it. The road leading to the temple from the main road has been encroached by shops and the same road is presently used to reach the parking lot. This leads to a lot of congestion and further dilutes the entrance to the grand temple. The Dilwara temple forms the most important religious space of the town and requires a grand entrance and an undisturbed foreground and background.

Fig No. 147 Existing Section AA’

Fig No. 148 Proposed Section AA’

Proposal The view of the temple is disturbed by the settlements around and thus a number of trees planted around the temple would give back the character of the temple of mountains in the backdrop and lush green around, as well as hide the settlements around. The congestion could be corrected by providing a different way directly leading to the parking space.

4.3 Reference data for evaluation of demonstration area Agro forestry A farmer on an average earns Rs 8-10 lakh per acre in agro forestry in five years, says Devinder Chawala, president, Yamunanagar Plywood Manufacturers Association. Hence, in our case we can consider, 5 lakh per acre. Therefore, per hectare price would be Rs. 12.5 lakh. http://articles.economictimes.indiatimes.com/2012-11-11/news/35034149_1_indian-farmers-crop-marginal-farmers

Fodder Silvipastoral system increases the dry fodder biomass yield from 1.25 – 4.50 tons (natural pasture) to 4.50- 8.70 tons per hectare per year and could hold 8- 15 sheep per hectare. Hence we can assume that it can hold 5-7 cattle per hectare. http://www.wca2014.org/abstract/fodder-production-through-agroforestry-a-boon-for-profitable-sheep-and-goat-farming

It is estimated that marketing 100kg of fodder generates revenues of Rs. 395. http://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/48651/1/MPRA_paper_48651.pdf
