Glaciers are considered as one of the best indicators of climate change and glacial landforms are analysed for the reconstruction of palaeoclimate. It has been noticed that the landforms keep on changing with time and space. However, no attention has been paid to this problem. The catastrophic event such as Kedarnath event of June 2013 is identified as one important process which modifies the landforms and landscape. The flash floods which initiated the new channels, activated the abandoned channels and raised the water of Mandakini River and caused bank erosion and deepening of the valley are the main process for devastation. The human encroachment in the natural events multiplied the damage.Keywords

The present communication deals with the impact of rapid urbanization of Lucknow City on Gomati River. The lower values of water quality index (WQI < 50) at upstream of the city confirm the presence of good quality water. When it leaves the city downstream the value of WQI raises to >75, indicating that the water quality has deteriorated considerably and has become unfit for human consumption. The groundwater is also polluted due to urbanization and requires immediate attention for improving the water quality of Gomati river.Keywords
