| Description |
185-192
Present study using Geographical Information System strongly suggests that the Kalpong watershed is susceptible to soil erosion and increased runoff with greater flow velocity. Increased runoff potential and greater flow velocity is positively compensated with the establishment of the Kalpong hydro-electric plant and setting a finest example of sustainable development in an island ecosystem. Mangrove have luxuriantly colonized in the Aerial Bay where the nutrient rich sediments are discharged at the mouth of Kalpong river articulating Darwin’s theory of natural selection and thus forming a natural shield against tsunami and storm surges. |
