Bird Killer Of Gujarat

Gujarat will be no-1 in bird killing, Narendra modi is killer of birds. Gujarat is of Gandhi, Gujarat is of AHINSA, Gujarat is of JIV DAYA full people.

Story is going to change in narendra modi regime. Gujarat is a state of killers…?

In race of maxi. wind power generation competition Narendra modi kills birds. Wind is global phenomenon occurring on the earth’s surface due to unequal heating of various parts of the earth’s surface by the sun. Wind speed and direction vary in the short and long term. There is a variation in minute to minute. Wind is affected by the terrain and by height above the ground. Wind speed generally increases with the height above the ground as moving wind moving across the earth’s surface encounters friction caused by the turbulent flow over and around the mountains, hills, trees, buildings etc.The power contained in the wind can be harnessed for mechanical application such as water pumping or for generation of electricity, through wind turbine generators, designed for specific purpose. The state of Gujarat is blessed with a long coast line of 1600 km where the wind speeds are adequate for conversion in to electrical energy. Similarly certain inland hilly areas have potential wind speed for the same. In terms of power application, the state of Gujarat has a gross potential of 7362 MW of wind power generation. For the purpose of mechanical applications where the wind speed required is much less than that required for the power application, the land area in open fields throughout the state, with no obstructions over a specified distance is sustainable for installations of windmills for mechanical applications. The increasing costs of the fossil fuels and thus the cost of the conventional electricity, has generated an increased interest in using the natural source for meeting the energy requirements

DIVERSION OF FOREST LAND FOR ESTABLISHMENT OF WIND FARMS: Several potential sites of high wind density are situated in forest areas. It is proposed to tap this huge potential of 20,000 MW by allowing wind power projects on following guidelines. Areas of national parks and sanctuaries, areas of outstanding natural beauty, national heritage sites, sites of archeological importance, sites of special scientific interest and other important landscapes will not be considered for development of wind farm. Wind farms should be at safe distance (1 km or more) from these sites as these sites have ample tourism potential. The distance of windmills from highways, villages or natural habitations should be minimum 300 meters. No Objection Certificate from local bodies will be mandatory as these machines make lot of noise. The tips of wind turbine should be painted with orange color to avoid bird hits. Forest dept will allow installation Wind Mast by paying one time payment of one lakh per mast. It will provide 15m X 15m land for every fifty hector of land for this purpose. The wind mast should be removed after two years only after ascertaining technical parameters. Only

Birds mortality is increased in Gujarat due to following 1-Windows and tall buildings-Windows of all sizes and types, even small and narrow windows, from those found on tall buildings to those used in residential houses are very dangerous for birds. Ornithologists usually call them “invisible killers” due to the large number of deaths and injuries they cause regardless of species, age, sex and the conditions in which collisions occur. Attracted by the reflection of trees or plants located near the windows, birds try to pass through them, sometimes, at top speed. This can lead to fatal or other injuries or simply exhaustion as they attempt to overcome the invisible barrier and end up falling to the ground and thus becoming easy prey. Predators such as cats often lie in wait for their victims to quickly remove them. Moreover, some studies show that about half of those birds, which manage to fly away, die later due to injuries received. These facts are often unknown to those observing bird strikes, as they tend to think collisions do not actually harm birds and that they are able to fly away without any lasting damage. 2. Wind turbines-Although wind turbines are a form of clean technology for renewable energy production and therefore an important tool in combating climate change, they also represent a danger to migratory birds. Wind turbines, especially when standing isolated in large-scale wind farm developments, also represent a severe potential hazard for migratory birds. Their blades rotate at speeds of up to 200 kilometers per hour and, when placed along the major migratory routes of birds, wind turbines can become extremely dangerous obstacles causing both injuries and fatalities to many species of migratory birds. In addition to causing collisions, wind turbines are also known to cause displacement of migratory birds and are considered especially detrimental in areas where there is a known high concentration of migratory birds, for example at major stop-over and feeding sites. Like other obstacles that are surrounded with lights for air traffic safety, wind turbines equipped with bright lights can also attract disorientated birds and lead to fatal injuries during the night. Wind farms are often built along coastlines and mountaintops, usually in areas that have high wind potential, and which often lie along the flight paths of many migratory birds.

machines of 500 KW and above will be allowed. Forest land will be leased for 30 years initially. It will be first leased in favor of developer and then transferred in the name investor/power producer within period of four years. If developers fail to develop wind farms, land will be revert back to Forest Department without any compensation. A lease rent of Rs. 30,000/- will be charged in addition to compensatory afforestation and net present value. Proposal for forest land should include require for land inclusive of the corridors between successive windmills, statutory buildings, earthing pits, transmission lines, roads including repose, breast walls, drains, curvature etc. Alignment of road should be done by recognized firm and got approved by the divisional forest officer concerned. The transmission lines should be aligned with roads as far as possible. Details of alternative explored on non forest land, cost benefit analysis of project, employment generated, cost of electricity produced and economic viability should be also given in proposal. Proposal should also include detail technological parameters about mechanical fatigue. Around 65% to 70% of leased out area should be utilized for development of medicinal plants. Intervening areas between two wind mill foot prints shall also be planted up by dwarf species of trees at the project cost. Soil and moisture conservation measures like counter trenching shall be taken up on hillocks supporting the windmills.

Unfortunately, wind farms are still being built along coastlines, mountain ridges and wetlands, sometimes without any prior assessment of their potential environmental impact on migratory birds and in places where there is a known high concentration of many migratory bird species. It is especially a cause for concern when wind farms are constructed in areas that are frequently used by endangered and rare bird species. 3. Power lines -Power lines and fences are believed to pose a particular risk to migratory birds. Overhead power lines stretch for millions of kilometers globally and the resulting carpet of surface cables continues to increase. Apart from the risk of electrocution faced by birds, which results from poorly designed power poles, the cables themselves constitute objects for potential collisions. Fast-flying birds, so-called poor fliers due to their small wings, and birds lacking in agility are especially at risk; they tend to hit conductors and ground wires, frequently at night and in poor weather conditions. 4. Communication towers and masts- Tens of thousands of communication towers dot landscapes across the country. These towers pose a significant threat to endangered bird species, especially migratory birds. Gujarat government must revise its rulemaking and consider the impacts within an environmental impact study that a new tower may pose. Communication towers and masts are commonly high structures located on elevated points of land and their supporting guy wires are extremely dangerous for migratory birds. Fast flying birds simply do not notice loose wires and birds that are not very agile have difficulties avoiding them. Stormy nights and bad visibility make supporting wires even more dangerous for birds and dramatically increase the risk of collision. Brightly lit towers in the similar adverse conditions make bird-strikes even more likely. Birds, especially nocturnal birds traveling in weather conditions like fog or mist, loose their navigation cues and get disoriented or dazzled by the lights of towers. Mistaking them for constellations, birds tend to circle around the lights and rarely escape fatal hits against the wires and other supporting elements. Even if they manage to avoid heavy strikes, birds are often badly injured or they waste energy they need to accomplish their migration journey.

In wind power policy there is no word used for bird, bird kill

assessment, bird saving- you can check at this linkhttp://www.geda.org.in/pdf/wind/wind_power_policy2007.pdf

In the US, cars & trucks wipe out millions of birds each year, while 100 million to 1 billion birds collide with windows. According to the 2001 National Wind Coordinating Committee study, “Avian Collisions with Wind Turbines: A Summary of Existing Studies and Comparisons to Other Sources of Avian Collision Mortality in the United States," these non-wind mortalities compare with 2.19 millions bird deaths per turbine per year.

Gujarat-India has no data to display…only dead birds bodies to count.

Narendra modi give me account in per night electricity generation, how many birds will be killed. Or birds killed per kilowatt electricity generated. Can you stop this projects in narendra modi Government to save birds, environ? •

State-run lignite and bauxite mining major Gujarat Mineral Development Corporation Ltd (GMDC) is all set to mark its entry into wind power generation. The company has firmed up its plans to take up 100 Mw wind power project in a phased manner. The Gujarat government has already approved generation of 100 Mw wind power by GMDC. "This is the first wind power project of the company and it will be implemented in a phased manner. The company has envisaged a total of Rs. 600 crore investments for the project," sources close to the development revealed. In the first phase, GMDC, which already has interests in various power projects in and outside Gujarat, intends to put up wind mills having aggregate capacity of 19.5 Mw, for which it will pump in Rs 120 crore? This wind farm will be funded through internal accruals. The company has identified Rajkot district's Malaya area, which borders arid region of Kutch in Gujarat. "The first phase of the project will be taken up in current year, while it will take not less than two years to complete the remaining phases", sources added.GMDC's move to foray into wind power generation is prompted by various factors, one of which is that the company is sitting on surplus fund. Apart from this, the company willl be able to avail special incentives offered under the state government's wind power policy. The new wind power policy of the state has fixed Rs. 3.50 per unit tariff for purchasing wind power. Earlier, the rate was Rs. 3.37 per unit.” The company will also get the benefit of carbon credit while supply power to state grid, which will further help Gujarat to meet its power requirement", sources explained. he state of Gujarat blessed with along coast lined and certain inland areas which have potential for harnessing of Wind energy for power generation. According to the study

conducted by the Ministry of Non – Conventional Sources of Energy, the state of Gujarat has a gross potential of 7362 MW of Wind Power. About 50 sites in the state have been declared potential for setting up of Wind farms, on the basis of the long term data of Wind speed, collected and analyzed under the aegis of the Ministry of Non Conventional Sources of Energy. Given the potential of wind power generation in the state, the first demonstration Wind farm project was set up by the Agency in 1986 at the Okha coast followed by few more demonstration Wind farms with an aggregate capacity of 16.295 MW. The satisfactory performance and operation of these demonstration Wind farms, led to an incentive scheme in 1993, declared by the state government for private sector participation in the Wind power generation. Under the incentive scheme of 1993, a Wind farm capacity of 149.55 MW by the private sector has been established during the period from 1993 to March, 1998.The state government in June, 2002, has declared the new Wind Power Generation Policy – 2002, for private sector participation, for setting up of the Wind farms.

Gujarat Paguthan Energy Corp (GPEC), an independent power project in Bharuch district, has sought a $20-million loan from the International Finance Corp (IFC) to part finance the first of its two wind power projects at Samana, about 65 kilometers from Jamnagar. The company is setting up two 50.4 megawatt wind power projects in the windswept Samana in two phases. Its Bharuch unit has a generating capacity of 655 megawatt a larger 360 megawatt wind power plant is already in operation in Samana.

This is also the region where Tata Power has planned two wind energy projects of 50 megawatt each. A Chinese firm and the Tata group are investing Rs.8.15 billion ($189.5 million) to generate together over 150 megawatt of wind power in Gujarat’s Rajkot district. The two power projects are to be set up in Samana, in the Rajkot district, making it a major centre for wind-generated power. CLP, through its India subsidiary CLP India, is investing close to Rs.5 billion for installing 126 wind turbines in Samana that will generate 100.8 megawatt of power. Tata Power has installed wind turbines in the same area for generating 50 megawatt of power at a cost of Rs.3.15 billion. Both projects are expected to become operational by early next year. The state government, which is banking heavily on wind power, has identified Samana as an ideal location for installing 450 turbines that can generate a total of 360 megawatt. To encourage investment in wind energy developments in the state, the government has introduced a raft of incentives including a higher wind energy tariff. Sources confirmed that both CLP and Tata Power projects would be located in Samana, which is a large area and could accommodate more than one project. Amana has a high-tension transmission grid and electricity generated by wind turbines can be fed into it. For this purpose, a substation at Sadodar has been installed.

You have to see Nal sarovar bird Sanctuary in photo or past recorded video only. You can not see even any living bird in Gujarat, costal, katchh, & in whole Gujarat. Nal Sarovar Bird Sanctuary-The Nal Sarovar Bird Sanctuary in Ahmedabad is one of the premier attractions of the diverse wildlife in Gujarat. A wetland sanctuary of the most beautiful and colorful birds of the state, the Nal Sarovar Bird Sanctuary is home to a number of endangered species of both flora and

Alarming points-When wind turbines, power lines and other man-made structures are placed in areas where the density of birds is high or along major migratory paths, the

fauna. The most interesting fact about the sanctuary is that a number of birds migrate to the reserve during the winter and spring seasons. A shelter to about 250 species of wetland birds, Nal Sarovar Sanctuary, Gujarat is a window to the states magnificent wildlife. The winter migrants of the sanctuary comprise White Storks, Rosy Pelicans, Herons, Flamingoes and Brahminy Ducks. The reserve also has a lake which is as long as 116 sq km. During the months of November and February, one can see a large number of indigenous and migratory birds flocking to Nal Sarovar Bird Sanctuary. If you visit the sanctuary early morning, you can also catch a glimpse of ducks, flamingos, geese and pelicans.

The lake measures 123 km², attracts over 210 species of birds in the winter, and harbours a variety of flora and fauna. Thousands of migratory waterfowl flock to this sanctuary just after the Indian monsoon season. The shallow area and ponds on the outer fringes of the lake attract the wading birds that feed in the shallow waters. Besides a few mammalian species including the endangered wild ass and the blackbuck, its migratory bird population includes Rosy Pelicans, Flamingoes, White Storks, Brahminy Ducks and Herons. Millions of magnificently colored visit the delightful bird sanctuary in winter and spring. It harbours over 250 species of wetland birds. Winter migrants from the north including Rosy Pelicans, Flamingos, White Storks, Brahminy Ducks and Herons visit Nal Sarovar.Between November and February, this 116 sq km lake, is home to vast flocks of indigenous and migratory birds. Ducks, geese, pelicans and flamingos are best seen early in the morning and in the evening and the sanctuary is best visited as a day excursion by taxi, as buses are infrequent and there is no convenient accommodation. The best time

to tour the park is during winters and spring seasons, as this is the perfect time, when you get to see plentiful migratory birds. and its also a best time for wind flow in Gujarat. Now it will be season of bird killing. because its season of wind power generations too.

probability of collisions significantly increases. In particular, the placement of wind farms and other structures along landscape features such as river valleys and coastal areas, used by migratory birds as navigation cues, is believed to significantly increase collisions. Collision risks are also increased or diminished by the intensity and use of lighting and size – the more lighting in place and the taller the structure is, the more dangerous the objects are for birds. Bad weather and darkness, as well as the physical characteristics of birds (acuteness of vision) or flight behavior (flocks), also influence the collision rate.

Gujarat has been conferred the ‘Best Wind Power Developer State in India’ award by the World Institute of Sustainable Energy (WISE), Pune for registering maximum increase in installed Wind Energy Power generation during 2007-08. Gujarat Energy Development Agency (GEDA), the nodal agency of the Government of Gujarat for promotion and popularization of Renewable Energy and Energy Conservation, said that the state has added 616 MW in wind energy generation in the above mentioned period. This is far greater than Tamil Nadu and Maharashtra who have added 380 and 260 MW of wind power generation capacity respectively. GEDA said that the wind energy installed capacity in Gujarat in 2004-05 was only 51 MW. But with the announcement of Wind Power Policy on June 13, 2007 to promote clean and green energy, the capacity was increased to 1252.9 MW as the per March 2008 figures.
