The forest department will construct and water conservation structures at an estimated cost of Rs 70 lakh, to revive a few hundred hectares of degraded forest patches in the state.<\/p>\n

As per the Union Environment<\/a> ministrys instructions, the degraded forest patches have already been identified for the state by the Water and Power Consultancy Services<\/a> (WAPCOS), India.<\/p>\n

The detailed project report for Goa submitted by the WAPCOS has already been forwarded to Goa forest officials for implementation and the centrally-funded project has to be implemented in nine months.<\/p>\n

WAPCOS has used the Light<\/a> detection and ranging (LiDAR) technology to identify major ridge areas inside forest areas of Goa. LiDAR is an active remote sensing system used to measure vegetation height across wide areas.<\/p>\n

To conserve water under the project, ridge-to-valley approach of Watershed Management<\/a> will be used. The ridge-to-valley approach detains, diverts, stores and uses available rainwater.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
