Abstract:

Detailed studies on the status of Saraswati Nadi of northern Haryana have

been carried out using multidate and multi resolution satellite images, GIS

techniques and ground data. Palaeochannels have been delineated using remote

sensing techniques and validated using discovered archaeological sites,

sedimentological data from drilled wells and water quality data. Detailed

analysis of hydrological data (rainfall and stream discharge), catchment area

and petrographic analysis of rock samples have been done to decipher the

dwindling state of Saraswati Nadi. Likelihood of Adi Badri as the place of

origin of Saraswati Nadi and its possible linkage with the Vedic Saraswati

River is discussed.

Suggestions have been given for safeguarding and revival of Saraswati Nadi as a

national heritage.

Congratulations

to BK Bhadra, AK Gupta and JR Sharma of ISRO for the brilliant contribution.
