Topic: Shivaliks

	Introduction to the Himalayas
		Shivaliks (Siwaliks, the Outer Himalayas or the Sub-Himalayas)
		The Shivaliks rise steeply from the great northern plains of India and Pakistan and run parallel to the main ranges of the Himalayas towards the north, from which they are separated by high mountains and deep valleys.
		Lying between the Himadri region in the north and the Shivaliks to the south, the Himachal region forms the middle section of the Himalayan mountain chain.

	The Shivaliks
		Longitudinal valleys lying between the Shivaliks and the main range to the north, are known as Dun valleys.
		The Shivalik hills are well developed along the southern edge of Himachal Pradesh, from the Kangra valley, in a broad belt, to the Sirmaur region on the border with U.P. The landscape is typically, low rolling hills, bisected by innumerable gullies, seasonal streams, known as choes, which drain this region.
		The Shivaliks are a part of the Himalayan mountain chain that have been neglected for a long time, though the problems and the conservation measures required were identified as early as 1895.

		If all the five states in shadow of the Shivaliks were to pool their sources and resources, much of the problems that man first created then helplessly suffered, can be countered.
		It is a painstaking effort by three scientists, S. Mittal, R.K. Aggarwal and J. Samra, who have compiled and edited the scientific works, research, field surveys and studies and experiences of as many as 86 scientists who have contributed to the publication recounting their experiences gained through experimentation and involvement of the hill people.
		The land affected by choes in Hoshiarpur district alone increased from 194 sq km in 1852 to 286 sq km in 1886 and to 2,000 sq km by 1939.

	Forest Management in the Himalaya Foothills
		The Himalayan foothills, the Shivaliks, in north India, occupy an area of nearly two million hectares in the states of Punjab, Haryana and Himachal Pradesh.
		The Shivaliks are densely populated and people follow a semi pastoral occupation which is more diverse in its crops-tree-livestock interrelation.
		The Arabari project was followed by the Sukhomajri experiment in the Shivaliks where this new concept of enlisting people's participation in the protection and management of forests evolved in the mid-70s with the active help of the state forest department and the local communities.

		This act of collision of the soft sedimentary crust with hard volcanic rocks pushed the latter upwards to create the highest mountain range on this planet with a landscape and bio diversity of flora and fauna that is as awe inspiring as it is enchanting.
		The debris that settled in a ring around the rising mountains is the Shivaliks range or land of Shiva, the lord of destruction.
		Carried away by the recent stay in the Shivaliks there was little choice but to prostrate in phallic worship before the lingam of Shiva, a symbol of the awesome erection of the still rising Himalayas.

		The Shivaliks, which lie in the foothills of the Himalayan range, have been identified as one of the eight most degraded rainfed agro-ecosystems of the country and hence included in the priority areas for watershed development.
		In each state, the Shivalik Watershed Development Strategy would be the basis for project interventions and would link watershed activities to the several centrally sponsored schemes, state and donor interventions.
		The Shivalik Watershed Development Strategy would be completed, discussed with various stakeholders, and recommendations incorporated in the annual action plan for implementation by March 31, 2000.

	The Open Earth Project - Location of remaining tiger habitats in the Himalayan foothills of India
		At the contact with the Himalaya, the Shivaliks are made of material brought down from the Himalayas and uplifted to altitudes ranging from 750 m (2460 ft) to 1400 m (4590 ft).
		Next to this the babhar is hilly terrain resulting from the accumulation of coarse alluvium and boulders along the foothills, while finer material such as silt is deposited further out to form the floodplains of the terai.
		Shivaliks and bhabar originally presented a dense cover of deciduous forest, while the terai floodplains are the domain of savannahs and grasslands.
