People who have carried out research in the area include Mr. Auden (1933), Mr. Mathur (1958 and 1965), and Professor S. Kumar (1980–81). On 23 August 2001, the area was featured in an article written by journalist Vijay Shankar Chaturvedi for the Hindi newspaper Hindustan. Subsequently, it was formally inaugurated as a fossil park by District Magistrate Bhagawan Shankar on 8 August 2002. An international workshop was organised in December 2002, attracting participation from 42 delegates from India and abroad. Canadian geologist H.J. Hoffman was impressed by the fossils, and remarked that he had not seen such "beautiful and clear fossils" anywhere else in the world. In 2004, researcher Mukund Sharma further explored the area. In 2013, the state government sanctioned ₹ 12.5 million for the development of the Salkhan Fossils Park. Since 2024, research is being carried out at the site by Birbal Sahni Institute of Palaeosciences (BSIP), Lucknow. References .Salkhan Fossil Park UNESCO World Heritage, tentative list, 2025

Dhanauri Wetlands

Dhanauri is about 15 km north of Noida Airport in GB Nagar district. Location National Inventory of Wetlands records the Dhanauri wetland over 98 hectares. It has Dhanauri to the northwest, Thasrana to the east and Aminpur Bangar to the southeast. Biodiversity The Dhanauri Wetlands is home to over 120 Sarus cranes.

Threat A condition imposed by the India's Environment Ministry while granting environmental clearance to the Jewar airport, "conservation plan for birds and fauna, in consultation with the Wildlife Institute of India, shall be submitted within six months from the grant of clearance and be implemented in letter and spirit", remains ignored by Uttar Pradesh government as of February 2024. Consequently, National Green Tribunal (NGT) has not received any proposal from the UP government to designatee Dhanauri wetland as a Ramsar site. The site is under threat from encroachment and misallocation of land by the government. Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority's (YEIDA) 2031 Master Plan records only 55.69 hectares for the Dhanauri Wetland - 16.89 hectares wetland and 38.80 hectares green belt around it. This is 42.31 hectares less out of total 98 hectares recorded in the National Inventory of Wetlands. YEIDA has allotted the land for building houses in this 42.31 hectares, and people have started construction. YEIDA CEO said the equivalent land would be allocated to the wetland on the other side of the wetland where there's no construction.

ГЕС Тапован-Вішнугад

ГЕС Тапован-Вішнугад — гідроелектростанція, що споруджується на півночі Індії у штаті Уттаракханд. Використовуватиме ресурс із річки Дхауліганга, лівої притоки Алакнанди, яка в свою чергу є лівою твірною Гангу. Можливо відзначити, що в тому ж штаті протікає й інша річка з назвою Дхауліганга, яка є притокою Сарди та живить ГЕС Дхауліганга. У межах проекту річку перекриють бетонною греблею висотою 22 метри та довжиною 200 метрів, яка утримуватиме водосховище з припустимим коливанням рівня між позначками 1790,5 та 1794 метри НРМ. Звідси під лівобережним гірським масивом прямуватиме дериваційний тунель довжиною 11,6 км з діаметром 4,8 метра, який переходитиме у два напірні водоводи діаметром по 3,6 метра, котрі розгалужуватимуться на чотири діаметрами по 2,7 метра. В системі також працюватиме верхній вирівнювальний резервуар висотою 127 метрів з діаметром 6,5 метра. Підземний машинний зал розташовуватиметься вже на лівобережжі Алакнанди після впадіння Дхауліганги, у 17 км нижче за течією від греблі. Також існуватиме окреме підземне приміщення для трансформаторів. Основне обладнання станції становитимуть чотири турбіни типу Пелтон потужністю по 130 МВт, які використовуватимуть чистий напір у 476 метрів. Відпрацьована вода потраплятиме до Алакнанади по відвідному тунелю довжиною 0,5 км з діаметром 5,3 метра та каналу довжиною 0,13 км. Воду з місця будівництва відвели ще навесні 2013 року, а введення станції в експлуатацію планується на 2021 рік. Примітки
