1 Water and Energy solutions in changing climatic conditions for Next century using Geospatial applications Dr Ritesh Arya Director Geothermal section International Sustainable Energy Organisation Geospatial World Forum

2 Geospatial digitalization is in its infancy stage in India but good geospatial maps in future holds the key for the policy and decision makers to effectively take immediate decisions for natural resource and infrastructural development both in times of peace or disaster (manmade during wars or natural due to earthquakes or floods) for the welfare of the nation right upto village level to make SMART India. Geospatial World Forum 2017

3 Groundwater in Himalaya Mountains devoid of groundwater till early 1990s Geospatial World Forum

4 1996 CONCEPTUAL MODEL to explain OCCURRENCE and MOVEMENT of groundwater resources in entire Hindukush Himalayas IGC Beijing Geospatial World Forum

5 Tibetans who fled Tibet in 1959 following Chinese aggression, settled in Ladakh 3000TIBETANS got 24 x 7 water since 1998 Geospatial World Forum

20 Geospatial World Innovation Forum 2017 Asia

21 l Gore Geospatial World Innovation Forum 2017 Asia

22 But that s not the truth IT s Inconvenient truth Geospatial World Innovation Forum 2017 Asia

23 Pollution 100% natural & 100% man made Fossil fuel causes pollution Volcanic eruption causes pollution Geospatial World Innovation Forum 2017 Asia

24 CO2 is essential part of food chain CO2 increase ~ Agricultural increase Geospatial World Innovation Forum 2017 Asia

25 No evidence supports man made activities increase or decrease climate change Geospatial World Innovation Forum 2017 Asia

26 Glaciers in Himalaya extinct or on verge of extinction much before..industrialisation Geospatial World Innovation Forum 2017 Asia

27 EXTINCT GLACIERS IN HIMALAYA Extinct glacier 1006 AD Geospatial World Innovation Forum 2017 Asia

28 ON VERGE OF EXTINCTION K On verge of extinction Chuhul Khardung la - Water Lifeline of Leh (receded 20.8km) Geospatial World Innovation Forum 2017 Asia

32 Indus Glacier. discovered in Ladakh Borewell samples Geospatial World Innovation Forum 2017 Asia

33 PALEOCLIMATIC SIGNATURES Geospatial World Innovation Forum 2017 Asia

34 Paleoclimatic signatures represent alphabet C- hence C cycles (Half cycle preserved) Geospatial World Innovation Forum 2017 Asia

35 C cycles Taphonomic studies reveal 10 cycles preserved in the granites Geospatial World Innovation Forum 2017 Asia

36 R Resemble ALPHABET C Geospatial World Innovation Forum 2017 Asia

37 Aryas C cylce Climate change follows curvilinear pattern Geospatial World Innovation Forum 2017 Asia

38 Ice age GRADUALLY transforms into warming and warming Maxima subsequently culminates into ICE age Geospatial World Innovation Forum 2017 Asia

39 Dr Arya discovered 10 such C cycles Since last Ice age around years from today ( 8 complete and 2 half) Each Climate C cycle is of years Half C cycle of years Geospatial World Innovation Forum 2017 Asia

40 Frozen Thames 1677 (Little ICE AGE around ago fits with Arya s C cycle) Geospatial World Innovation Forum 2017 Asia

42 Lamayuru Medieval warming 1006 Paleo glaciated Lake Outburt Geospatial World Innovation Forum 2017 Asia

43 Geologically it means More transportation of sediments deposited during global cooling times into the ocean Geospatial World Innovation Forum 2017 Asia

44 Solutions - enjoy warming Climate change is a geological phenomenon therefore Solutions to combat Climate change need to be geological. Build sustainable habitats in geologically favorable environments away from coast or river channels. Dr Ritesh Arya talks at TEDX Geospatial World Innovation Forum 2017 Asia

45 SUSTAINABLE SOLUTIONS 1200 Lamayuru monastery constructed on Solid rock on bank of Lamayuru Lake outburst Geospatial World Innovation Forum 2017 Asia

46 Enjoy warming Its natural. and best time to be on this planet earth Geospatial World Innovation Forum 2017 Asia
