29 METEOROLOGICAL MONITORING REPORT Period: Apr 2017 to June MICROMETEOROLOGY Meteorological parameters are important factors in the study of Air Pollution. TheTransport and diffusion of the pollutants in the atmosphere are governed bymeteorological factors. Primary / Basic Meteorological Parameters Wind Velocity Wind Direction Since the dispersion and diffusion of pollutants mainly depend on the above factors hence these factors are considered as primary meteorological parameters. Secondary Meteorological Parameters Relative Humidity Ambient Temperature The above said factors are considered as secondary factors since these factors control the dispersion of the pollutant indirectly by affecting the primary factors. 8

58 1.1 AMBIENT AIR QUALITY The scenario of the Ambient Air Quality in the study region has been assessed through a network of 5locations of Ambient Air Quality Monitoring. The design of monitoring network in the air quality surveillance program was based on the following considerations. Topography / Terrain of the study area. Human Settlements Wind pattern Health status Representation of regional Background levels. Accessibility of monitoring site. Resource availability. Pre-calibrated Respirable Dust Samplers (PM 10 ) & Fine Dust Samplers (PM 2.5 ) have been used for monitoring the existing AAQM Status. Maximum, Minimum, Average, Standard Deviation and percentile have been computed from the raw data collected at all individual sampling stations to represents the Ambient Air Quality Status. The significant parameters viz., PM 10, PM 2.5, SulphurDioxide (SO 2 ) and Oxides of Nitrogen (NO 2 ) and Mercury were monitored within the study area of 5 km from the site. 1.2 FLUE GAS MONITORING All threephases of the Thermal Power Plant is in operation. The flue gas emission from stack attached to individual boiler is monitored once in month during the monitoring period. 1.3 WATER QUALITY MONITORING The water quality parameters as per IS: for water resource within study area have been used for describing the water environment and assessing the impacts on it. Ground water samples of nearby villages was collected at five locations The parameters of prime importance selected under Physico - chemical characteristics were estimated to describe the baseline environmental status of the water resources during the monitoring periodfour bore well samples surrounding the ash dyke area were collected during the month of February, 2016 along with outfall water sample. 7

59 METEOROLOGICAL MONITORING REPORT Period: July 2017 to September MICROMETEOROLOGY Meteorological parameters are important factors in the study of Air Pollution. TheTransport and diffusion of the pollutants in the atmosphere are governed bymeteorological factors. Primary / Basic Meteorological Parameters Wind Velocity Wind Direction Since the dispersion and diffusion of pollutants mainly depend on the above factors hence these factors are considered as primary meteorological parameters. Secondary Meteorological Parameters Relative Humidity Ambient Temperature The above said factors are considered as secondary factors since these factors control the dispersion of the pollutant indirectly by affecting the primary factors. 8

98 Adani Power Limited, Mundra Terrestrial Ecology Report (April to September, 2017) 1. The Study Area The Mundra coast falls in Gulf of Kutch, an ecologically important area, supports variety of fishes and birds and other associated ecosystems and hence it is necessary to monitor the ecological environment to know if any changes are happening or not due to the operation activities of power plant. The study area has been marked as 10 Km radial distance from the existing thermal power plant boundary near village Tunda, Mundra Taluka of Kutch district of Gujarat. The study area around the plant premises comprises of terrestrial ecosystem (Fallow and barren land) and coastal ecosystem (Sea and Creeks). Topography of the study area is plain. Part of Study area falls in notified industrial zone (SEZ). 2. Sampling Period and Sampling Locations The study has been carried out during the months of April to September, 2017 in two different seasons comprising Pre-monsoon and Post-monsoon seasons. Sampling locations were selected on the basis of topography, land use, vegetation pattern, etc. as per the objectives and guidelines of MoEF. All observations were taken in and around sampling locations for quantitative representation of different species. List of sampling location for ecological study are given in Table 1 and Study area map is presented in Fig. 1.

99 Adani Power Limited, Mundra Terrestrial Ecology Report (April to September, 2017) Fig. 1: Map showing Ecological Sampling Locations 3. Collection of Primary Data A. Vegetation Diversity Methodology The study area is dominated by the vegetation of dry deciduous scrub of small tree, shrub and very few large trees along with agricultural fields towards the northern part. Therefore the observation of vegetation was made by visiting different sampling stations and accordingly among available plants, the dominant plants species were recorded. Observation Forest Type: According to Champion and Seth, the vegetation in the study area can be classified as VI B Northern Tropical Forest Sub type C-I Desert Thorn Forest (Kutch, Saurashtra, Gujarat). The forest patches falling under this category have mono-dominant Prosopis juliflora. Acasia spp., Cassia auriculata Euphorbia spp., Zyziphus mauritiana and Zyziphus nummularis are also found in these scrubs. Vegetation Structure and Composition: Trees Composition varies considerably in condition, composition and density with change in location. The vegetation has a very open appearance and is widely spaced with scanty natural growth typical of a saline soil with hot and humid climate mainly composed of co-dominant, thorny trees and shrubs which are xerophytic in nature. The dominant tree species vary from 5-10m in height and tends to be collected in clumps. Regeneration by root suckers is common, especially in Prosopis and Capparis. The perennial grasses grow in clumps and tussocks (Bunch). There is a thin growth of annual grasses after the rains. They wither after the rainy season. Vegetation generally occurs near human settlement areas and agricultural bunds. Page 2 of 14

100 Adani Power Limited, Mundra Terrestrial Ecology Report (April to September, 2017) The most dominant species in this region is Prosopis juliflora. Other tree species observed are namely Salvadora oleoides, Salvadora persica, Phoenix sylvestris and Ficus religiosa. Large horticulture crops of Chiku (Manilkara zapota), Coconut (Cocos nucifera), Mango (Mangifera indica), Guava (Psidium guajava) and Date Palm (Phoenix dactylifera) are observed near northern part of the study area. Medicinal trees like Aegle marmelos (Bel), Azadirachta indica (Neem), Tamarindus indica (Amli) etc are also commonly observed in the study area. The vertical structure of the vegetation shows three distinguished layers i.e. Top, Middle and Ground. Azadirachta indica, Borassus flabellifer, Ficus bengalensis, Ficus racemosa, Mangifera indica, Tamarindus indica etc. comprises top layer of the vegetation. Salvadora oleoides, Phoenix sylvestris, Cassia auriculata, Capparis deciduas, Pithecellobium dulce, Calotropis procera, Euphorbia nevulia, Prosopis juliflora, Zizyphus mauritiana, Zizyphus nummularia, Tamarix dioica, etc. forms middle layer of vegetation.

Phytosociological studies were carried out by using least count quadrant method. Trees, shrubs and herbs were sampled by taking randomly distributed 10 quadrates of 100 m 2, 25 m 2 and 1 m 2 respectively. The data obtained was further used to estimate Relative Density, Relative Frequency, Relative Dominance and calculation of Importance Value Index (IVI). The Importance Value Index (IVI) for trees varies between and The highest IVI of studied tree recorded in study area is of Prosopis juliflora (53.28) and lowest IVI recorded is of Salvadora persica (19.50) during study period. For shrubs, IVI varies between and The highest IVI of studied shrubs recorded in study area is of Cassia auriculata (33.09) and lowest IVI recorded is of Calotropis gigantea (12.55) during study period. The undergrowth vegetation (herbs) shows IVI in between and The highest IVI of studied herbs recorded in study area is of Salicornia brachiata (29.50) and lowest IVI recorded is Page 3 of 14

101 Adani Power Limited, Mundra Terrestrial Ecology Report (April to September, 2017) of Solanum xanthocarpum (08.44) during study period. The details of IVI are presented in Table 2 to 4 for tree shrubs and herbs respectively. Diversity Index: Diversity means variety or variability. Species diversity therefore refers to the variation that exists among the different living forms. Species indicates the extent of biodiversity in the ecosystem. Species diversity is a statistical abstraction with two components. These are the number of species or richness and evenness or equitability. For better understanding of plant diversity, the Shannon-Wiener diversity index was used. The index considers two important characters of vegetation, i.e. floristic richness and proportional abundance of the species. Diversity index increases with floral spectra (more species means that more wide diversity) which represents actual scenario of ecosystem. The index is given as: H = Pi ln ( Pi) Where H = Shannon-Wiener diversity index Pi = Proportional abundance of the i th (individual) species S = species richness (total number of species present) ln = natural log (base e ) The species diversity of the study area found to be 1.96, 2.21 and 2.30 for tree, shrub and herbs respectively. The details are presented in Table 2 to 4 for trees, shrubs and herbs respectively. Page 4 of 14

104 Adani Power Limited, Mundra Terrestrial Ecology Report (April to September, 2017) B. Faunal Diversity Methodology For animals, since they are capable of moving from one place to another, this makes their study entirely different. Therefore, specific methods were adopted for counting these animals in the field. The on-site information (observation and interview with local people) collected during survey was further enriched by the information collected from different secondary sources. Observation Mammals: The diversity in fauna basically depends upon density and diversity of flora. The richer the diversity among the flora better will be the diversity in fauna. Present conditions (sparse, dry and thorny vegetation) of the area do not support higher mammals, however animals like Fox and Jackal are commonly observed. Vermin animals like Nilgai, Wild Boar and Hare also observed from the study area. Reptiles and amphibians: Area is devoid of good agricultural land, however standing orchards of coconut, mango and chiku attracts many rodents and birds, which ultimately attracts many reptiles and amphibians. Lizards such as monitor lizard and garden lizards are observed in the study area. The faunal elements observed in the study area during this period are given in Table 5.

105 Adani Power Limited, Mundra Terrestrial Ecology Report (April to September, 2017) C. Avifauna Methodology For survey of the birds, the area around APL power plant and adjacent areas of the study area was carried out from April to September, Birds were observed once a week. A working day was divided into two parts, viz., morning (0600 to 0800hr) and afternoon (1700 to 1900hr). Existing roads, bridle paths, embankments, cattle trails, plantation areas, shore lines, canal and pond banks, etc., were used to cover the study area. The trail length varied from 500m to 1000m and the visibility of these trails was 50m to 100m width on both sides. All types of habitats were visited weekly. Maximum field visits were carried on foot but sometimes vehicles were also used to cover long distance of the study area. Birds were observed either by a pair of binoculars (Nikon Action 8x40CF) or by naked eyes depending on the distance of the object. Long notes were taken on whether the observed birds were singing, feeding or flying over. For identification, external morphology and other modes i.e., colour, size, shape, flight, walk, habitat, call, and sitting postures were considered, followed by the use of Field guide by Ali (1996), Ali and Ripley (1983). A camera camera (Nikon Coolpix P900) with 83x zoom lens was used for photography. The estimates of the survey provide an index of the various species of birds in the study area and allow species comparison between them. For better understanding of avian diversity, the Shannon-Wiener diversity index was used. The index considers two important characters of birds, i.e. its richness and proportional abundance of the species. Diversity index increases with the avian spectra (more species means that more wide diversity) which represents actual scenario of ecosystem. The index is given as: H = Pi ln ( Pi) Where H = Shannon-Wiener diversity index Pi = Proportional abundance of the i th (individual) species S = species richness (total number of species present) ln = natural log (base e ) Observation Mundra coast provides very good grounds for roosting and food to the avifauna. The coastal wetlands in Mundra coast with broad intertidal mudflats, mangroves and salt pans offer a great diversity of habitats for birds to utilize for roosting, nesting and breeding. The study area supports three habitat types of birds namely water birds, grassland birds and coastal birds. The birds like Mynas, Crows, Sparrows, Bulbuls, Babblers and Pigeons were commonly observed in and around villages. Areas with or near the agriculture fields, grain eating herbivorous species were dominant. These species includes Doves, Sparrows, Pigeons, etc. Insectivorous bird species viz. Bee- Eaters, Bulbuls, Wagtails, Desert Wheatears, Drongos, etc. were observed in the study area. Fruit eating birds like Bulbuls, Mynas and Sunbirds usually observed near the village settlements. Water habitat and fish eating birds like Curlews, Kingfishers, Herons, Lapwings, Plovers, Sandpipers, Indian Rollers, and Egrets were observed near the water bodies and in low-lying marshy areas. View of migratory birds (Plate 3) & resident birds observed in the study area are shown in (Plate 4-5). Page 8 of 14

106 Adani Power Limited, Mundra Terrestrial Ecology Report (April to September, 2017) List of birds observed during the study period in the study area are given in Table 6. The Shannon Weiner Diversity Index for birds in the study area is found to be 3.28 during this period. The Species richness for the study area is found to be 53. Proportional abundance of the individual species varies between and The highest abundance recorded was of Blue Rock Pigeon (0.1594) and the lowest recorded were of Grey Plover (0.0005). The details are presented in Table 6.

GC Method Note: MDL = Minimum Detection Limit (MDL: 0.01) and N.D. = Not detectable a) Temperature: Marine water temperature of the study area was checked on site, so surface & bottom water temperature observed in the study area in range of c to c. The water temperature generally varied in accordance with the prevailing air temperature, tidal activity and seasonal variation. 11 Prepared by: UniStar Environment & Research Labs Pvt. Ltd.

124 b) ph: The ph of the water is generally buffering effect, influenced by the freshwater and anthropogenic discharge from land. The observed ph in the study area in range of 7.99 to 8.34 at surface level and 8.13 to 8.31 at bottom level. c) Salinity: Salinity which is an indicator of seawater, the standard average salinity of sea water is 33 to 37ppt, which is variable depending on the riverine flow, any fresh water discharge from landward side, rainy season and temperature in study area. Average salinity (ppt) for monsoon study is 34.6 to 37.6ppt at surface water as well as 33.3 to 37.1ppt at bottom water. d) DO & BOD: High Dissolve oxygen level is measured of good oxidizing conditions in an aquatic environment. In unpolluted waters equilibrium is maintained between its generation through photosynthesis and dissolution from the atmosphere, and consumption by the respiration and decay of organic matter in a manner that Dissolve oxygen levels are close to or above saturation value. Dissolve oxygen level of the study area is varied from 4.8mg/l to 5.8 mg/l at water surface level & 4.8mg/l to 5.6mg/l at water bottom level. The comparison of average Dissolve oxygen value of monsoon period is 5.25mg/l which show the good oxidizing conditions in study area aquatic environment. BOD was generally indicating effective consumption of oxidisable matter in that water body. BOD of the study area is varied from 3.4 to 4.2mg/l at water surface level and 3.2 to 4.8mg/l at water bottom level. e) Nutrients: Dissolved phosphorus and nitrogen compounds serve as the nutrients for phytoplankton which is the primary producer in aquatic food chain. Phosphorous compounds are present predominantly as reactive phosphate while combined nitrogen is present as nitrate, nitrite and ammonium species. So nutrient concentration (phosphate nitrate - nitrite) in the study area is Phosphate range is below detection level area, Nitrate range 8.06 µmol/l in surface water and 6.06 to 11.28µmol/l at bottom water, Nitrite range 0.23 to 0.32µmol/l in surface level and 0.21to 0.36µmol/l at bottom level. This nutrient concentration values indicate water healthiness. f) PHc and phenol: The level of PHc and Phenol is below detection level which indicates insignificant influence of anthropogenic inputs on the water body in study area. g) Total suspended solids: The suspended solids generally constitute clay, silt and sand from the bed sediment and that from the upstream as well as contributed through shore erosion. 12 Prepared by: UniStar Environment & Research Labs Pvt. Ltd.

125 Anthropogenic discharges also contribute to suspended solids in the form of contaminates such as oil and solid waste in polluted area. Suspended solids in the study area are little variable, surface area range observed 46 to 76mg/l as well as bottom area range is 42 to 71mg/l. BIOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS (BIODIVERSITY STUDIES): 3.1 Planktonic Forms: The name plankton is derived from the Greek word planktons, meaning wanderer or drifter. While some forms of plankton are capable of independent movement and can swim up to several hundred meters in a single day, their position is primarily determined by currents in the body of water they inhabit. By definition, organisms classified as "plankton" are unable to resist ocean currents. Plankton is primarily divided into broad functional groups: 1. Phytoplankton 2. Zooplankton This scheme divides the plankton community into broad producer and consumer groups. a) Phytoplankton: The organisms responsible for primary production in all aquatic ecosystems are known as phytoplankton. These miraculous microscopic organisms not only form the base of life in our oceans, but also produce up to 90% of the oxygen in our atmosphere. Phytoplankton is microscopic plants that live in the ocean, freshwater and other terrestrial based water systems. There are many species of phytoplankton, each of which has a characteristic shape, size and function. Marine species of phytoplankton grow abundantly in oceans around the world and are the foundation of the marine food chain. Marine Phytoplankton is the producing (autotrophic) component in the ocean. There are fourteen classes of phytoplankton. Each class of phytoplankton contains unique attributes in size, cell structure, nutrients and function. b) Zooplankton: A consumer is an organism that is incapable of making its own food from light or inorganic compounds, and feeds on organisms or the remains of other organisms to get the energy necessary for survival. A consumer is known as a heterotroph (heterone = (an) other and trophe = nutrition) in the food chain. All animals as well as humans are consumers 13 Prepared by: UniStar Environment & Research Labs Pvt. Ltd.

126 (heterotrophic) and therefore must obtain their nutrition from another consumer (heterotroph) or a producer (autotroph) 3.2 Significance of Phytoplankton and Zooplankton: Phytoplankton s are the major primary producers of organic matter in the aquatic ecosystem and especially oceans whose 90% productivity is from the planktons. Collectively, they directly or indirectly support the entire animal population, apart from those dependent on chemosynthetic bacteria around submarine vents, and thus form the basis of most marine food webs. When the mixed layers become shallower in spring, phytoplankton s are exposed to higher light intensity in the upper sunlight ocean. After nutrient enrichment caused by turbulent mixing of deep water into surface waters in the winters, phytoplankton can grow rapidly and build up to very high concentration (tens of millions cells per liter) in a matter of days. The massive build up of phytoplankton in spring directly contributes new organic carbon to support the zooplankton, which, in turn, benefits larger marine animals including fish, squid, birds, and marine mammals in the ocean. The significance of zooplanktons is found in their role in transferring biological production from phytoplankton s to large organisms in the marine food web (e.g. whales, seals, seabirds, fish and squid) and to the sea floor. A large number of phytoplankton species are grazed upon by the microscopic protozoan, tunicates, copepods and other crustaceans. These in turn become food for other animals further linking the food web. Therefore, variability in the reproduction of copepods would affect the survival of young fish that depend on them.

The size of benthic invertebrates spans 6-7 orders of magnitude. They range from microscopic (e.g. micro invertebrates, <10 microns) to a few tens of centimeters or more in length (e.g. macro invertebrates, >50 cm). The benthic zone is the ecological region at the lowest level of a body of water such as an ocean or a lake including the sediment surface and some sub-surface layers. Organisms living in this zone are called benthos. They generally live in close relationship with the substrate bottom; many such organisms are permanently attached to the bottom. The 20 Prepared by: UniStar Environment & Research Labs Pvt. Ltd.

133 superficial layer of the soil lining the given body of water is an integral part of the benthic zone, as it influences greatly the biological activity which takes place there. They may be found in contact with soil layers which includes sand bottoms, rocky outcrops, coral, and bay mud. Benthos is the organisms which live in the benthic zone, and are different from that elsewhere in the water column. Many are adapted to live on the substrate (bottom). In their habitats they can be considered as dominant creatures. Many organisms adapted to deepwater pressure cannot survive in the upper parts of the water column. The pressure difference can be very significant (approximately one atmosphere for each 10 meters of water depth). Because light does not penetrate very deep ocean-water, the energy source for the benthic ecosystem is often organic matter from higher up in the water column which drifts down to the depths. This dead and decaying matter sustains the benthic food chain; most organisms in the benthic zone are scavengers or detritivores. Some microorganisms use chemosynthesis to produce biomass. Macro invertebrates are mainly dwelling at the bottom of the substratum but at times may travel upwards in the water column. They may also occupy rock crevices, organic debris and other microhabitat at the bottom. These organisms by virtue of being relatively stationary, are constantly exposed to changes undergoing in overlying water, and hence, respond very well to aquatic pollution. The macro benthic population is very sensitive to environmental perturbation and is highly influenced by the physicochemical characteristics of water, nature of substratum, food, predation and other factors. The density of benthic invertebrates also fluctuates widely with the changes in the season Significance of benthic macro invertebrates The biomass of benthic macro invertebrates in estuaries and coastal embayment is often high. It declines if communities are affected by prolonged periods of poor water quality especially when anoxia and hypoxia are common. Burrowing and tube-building by deposit-feeding benthic macro invertebrates (bioturbators) helps to mix the sediment and enhances decomposition of organic matter. Nitrification and denitrification are also enhanced because a range of oxygenated and anoxic micro-habitats are created. For example, the area of oxic-anoxic boundaries and the surface area available for diffusive exchange are increased by tube-building macro invertebrates. Loss of nitrification and 21 Prepared by: UniStar Environment & Research Labs Pvt. Ltd.

134 denitrification (and increased ammonium efflux from sediment) in coastal and estuarine systems is an important cause of hysteresis, which can cause a shift from clear water to a turbid state. The loss of benthic suspension-feeding macro invertebrates can further enhance turbidity levels because these organisms filter suspended particles including planktonic algae, and they enhance sedimentation rates through bio deposition (i.e. voiding of their wastes and unwanted food). Changes in the macro fauna (and flora) cause changes in nutrient storage pools and in the flux of nutrients between micro fauna (and flora) and macro fauna and flora. Macro fauna are also important constituents of fish diets and thus are an important link for transferring energy and nutrients between trophic levels and driving pelagic fish and crustacean production. It is for these reasons and others, that benthic invertebrates are extremely important indicators of environmental change Methodology Macro-invertebrates representative samples were collected from selected 5 sampling stations and 3 sampling transect, the details are as mentioned in the table.

The total Macro benthos population (sub tidal & intertidal) was estimated as number of 1 m 2 area and biomass on wet weight basis Handling and Preservation The samples were first sieved and then washed from the sediment. From this, the samples were transferred along with some water to a coarse sieve with a mesh size of 0.5 to 0.6 mm and a fine one with a mesh width of less than 0.2 mm, one over the other. Quadrangular wooden box, at the bottom of which sieves of brass of various widths are inserted, has also been used for sieving macro invertebrates. Sieving yields residue-a mixture of animals and sediment. The organisms are picked from here by using forceps and pipettes. They were also hand-picked, if bigger, after keeping the slurry in white background. For quantitative sampling, each sample was handled separately, avoiding any loss. After sorting, macro invertebrates were identified to the lowest practical identification level (LPIL) which in most cases was to the species level unless the organism was a juvenile, damaged, or otherwise unidentifiable. Macro invertebrates were preserved in 10% formalin. 23 Prepared by: UniStar Environment & Research Labs Pvt. Ltd.

136 3.5.4 Identification Identification of the organisms was done under Stereo-microscope. Pennak (1978), Tonapi (1980), Ward and Whipple (1992) were used as standard reference for identification of the macro invertebrates Benthic Diversity Benthic invertebrates in the present study area were distributed on the surface of bed forms i.e. sandy and Silty clay in nature. The abundance and diversity, species composition of benthic invertebrates were recorded which is the indicators of changing environmental conditions.

138 3.6 Chlorophyll and Pheophytin Chlorophyll and Pheophytin Levels: Chlorophyll is the green molecule in plant cells that carries out the bulk of energy fixation in the process of photosynthesis. Chlorophyll is a measure of algal biomass that is relatively unaffected by non-algal substances, it is a fairly accurate measure of algal weight and volume, and, it acts as an empirical link between nutrient concentration and a number of important biological phenomena. Chlorophyll is also relatively easy to measure. In addition to the naturally occurring pigments in algal cells, a filtered water sample will also contain colored degradation products of these pigments. When algal chlorophyll degrades, it forms a series of degradation products, the nature of which depends on what part of the molecule that is affected. As chlorophyll degrades, the initial step is either the loss of the magnesium from the center of the molecule or the loss of the phytol tail. The former pathway results in the formation of the molecule, phaeophytin; in the latter pathway, the resulting molecule is termed a chlorophyllide. The degradation scheme is shown in Figure below. Further degradation of either the phaeophytin or the chlorophyllide produces a molecule termed a pheophorbidespheophytin is degraded by the loss of the phytol tail and a chlorophyllide loses its magnesium ion. When a chlorophyll molecule breaks down, a number of distinct phaeophytins, chlorophyllides, and pheophorbides will be produced, depending on the parent molecule.

139 3.6.1 Method: Sampling locations were same as that for the plankton samples. Surface water samples were collected in clean plastic dark bottles. Water samples were filtered through Whattman glass microfiber filters (GF/F: 47 mm) and preserved in 90% acetone for one night in the dark at 4ºC until analysis. The sample was concentrated by centrifugation. The pellet so obtained was then put in a tissue grinder with 2 to 3 ml of 90% aqueous acetone solution and macerated at 500 rpm for 1 min. The sample was transferred to screw capped centrifuge tube. The grinder was rinsed with a few millimeters of 90% aqueous acetone solution and added to the extraction slurry. The total volume was adjusted to 10 ml with 90% aqueous acetone. The sample was centrifuged in closed tubes for 20 min at 500 rpm. The extract was decanted into a calibrated 15ml screw cap centrifuge tube. 2ml of clarified extract was transferred to 1cm cuvette and optical density was read at 750 and 665 nm. The extract was then acidified in the cuvette with 0.1 ml of 0.1 N NH 4 Cl. The acidified extract is gently agitated and OD was read at 750 and 665 nm, 90 seconds after acidification Results Chlorophyll estimation results showed that it varied from lowest of 1.74mg/l on station 4 surface water and highest of 2.95mg/l on station 2 Surface water. The chlorophyll content is more in station 2 so may be as a result of high plankton density at this site had conducive environment. While Pheophytin content varies from lowest 0.68mg/l on station 4 surface water and highest 0.98mg/l on station 2 surface water.

177 Stake holder Engagement Women Participation in income generation activities through self help groups has created a positive impact on the life pattern of women and that has empowered them at various levels not only as individuals but also as members of the community and the society as whole. Adani Foundation has developed 7 SHG Groups consists of 97 members (Saving 2.5 Lacs for 18 months). Apart from savings, this women are associated with Saheli Mahila Gruh Udyog preparing household items i.e. washing powder, phynayle, dish wash liquid etc. The groups are empowered to market their products themselves. The profits drawn from their rural enterprises are now being used for their essential family requirements and education of their children. Regular meetings with Fisherman Community at Vasahats are conducted regularly. Main topics are covered about safety in sea, importance of savings, health and hygiene, various schemes of fisheries department, women empowerment, training and development of Adani skill development center etc. This type of interaction create trust and transparency towards community.

178 Biogas is a clean, non-polluting and low cost fuel. It contains about 55 to 75 percent methane, which is inflammable. Bio gas can be produced from cattle dung, human waste and other organic matter by a process called Anaerobic digestion which takes place in a biogas plant. The digested effluent, which comes out of the plant, is enriched manure. The Multiple benefits of the biogas have changed many lives in rural areas. During the last year 11 plants have been constructed and process for 10 more plants is going on. We are providing support addition to Government support to the beneficiary. (Under bio-gas scheme of government, the total cost is Rs.33, 500 out of which Rs.15, 000 will be granted by the government and out of the pending amount of Rs.18, 500 sum of Rs.10, 000 will be contributed by the Adani Foundation. The beneficiary will have to pay only Rs. 8, 500). Beneficiary women use the time, saved from cooking and fuelwood collection, to take up an additional economic activities. Spreading Smiles During the non-fishing months, the fishermen under usual circumstances were benefit of any other alternate economic activity to sustain them. Under such cases due to the scarcity of their available funds and resources, it became extremely difficult for a majority of them to survive. Looking at the miseries the Foundation introduced mangrove plantation and Mangroves Algae Removal in the area as a means of alternate income generating activity for the fisher folk community during the non-fishing months. Both men and women from the communities received trainings on Cheriya Plantation, moss cleaning etc. required for mangrove plantation. The program again was developed holistically, where focus was not only given on income generation but this initiative was seen as an important means to ensure environment sustainability. At the moment total 110 fisher folks from Luni, Shekhadia and Bhadreshwar are working for mangroves plantation and cleaning and getting income upto Rs. 300 per day.

179 Spreading Smiles Kitchen Garden We have motivated adolescent girls and their mothers to develop kitchen garden at the back of their house. We have selected three different beneficiaries having biogas at their vadi. Kitchen garden and bio gas plant combination brings worth results for Suposhan in Adolescent girls. All the vegetables grown at the garden are consumed by their own house. This is a model developed to motivate local people to develop a small kitchen garden in their home to get access to nutritional vegetables. Bhujpur, a village 20 kilometres from Mundra has agriculture as its main occupation. The people of Kutch have to face the water related problems due to the geographical location of Kutch and the salinity of sea water here. Bhujpur has two inter connected ponds. Once the Sarpanch of the village Meghraj Gadhvi thought of deepening the pond and this he put forward in form of a request to the Head of the Adani foundation in coordination with the village heads, school teachers and the various members of women organizations. This participatory approach brought matter of great amazement when the village offered their services of three tractors. The villagers were happy to acknowledge that if the ponds keep on getting filled up year after year, it would help in increasing the level of ground water. It would also decrease the salinity of water and increase the agricultural production.
