How the Kurnool district in Andhra Pradesh, India, fought Corona (Case study). SEEJPH 2020, posted: 18 November 2020. DOI: 10.4119/seejph-3963 Abstract Background: Kurnool, one of the four districts in the Rayalaseema region of the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh, emerged as a COVID-19 hotspot by mid-April 2020. Method: The authors compiled the publicly available information on different public health measures in Kurnool district and related them to the progression of COVID-19 from March to May 2020. Results: Two surges in pandemic progression of COVID-19 were recorded in Kurnool. The ini- tial upsurge in cases was attributed to return of people from other Indian states, along with return of participants of a religious congregation in Delhi, followed by in-migration of workers and truckers from other states and other districts of Andhra Pradesh, particularly from the state of Maharashtra (one of the worst affected states in India) and Chennai (the Koyambedu wholesale market - epicenter of the largest cluster of COVID-19 in Tamil Nadu).

  • Occurrence of Helically Coiled Microfossil Obruchevella in the Owk Shale of the Kurnool Group and Its Significance
    Occurrence of helically coiled microfossil Obruchevella in the Owk Shale of the Kurnool Group and its significance Mukund Sharma∗ and Yogmaya Shukla Birbal Sahni Institute of Palaeobotany, 53 University Road, Lucknow 226 007, Uttar Pradesh, India. ∗Corresponding author. e-mail: [email protected] [email protected] The present study reports occurrence of helically coiled microfossil Obruchevella Reitlinger from the Owk Shale of the Kurnool Group from the peninsular India. The age of the Kurnool Group is poorly constrained due to the absence of direct radiometric dating and meager palaeobiological data. Occurrence of Obruchevella is considered as a typical Vendian marker genus recorded mostly from close to the Precambrian–Cambrian boundary successions. Hence, the present assemblage is important to ascertain the age of the basin. In the Owk Shale, four species of Obruchevella, viz., O. delicata, O. parva, O. minor and O. valdaica are recorded as organic walled microfossils. Among them O. valdaica is the largest in terms of size parameters. On the global scale, the recovered species occur in the Late Neoproterozoic to Early Cambrian sediments. Therefore, the occurrence of microfossil Obruchevella in the Owk Shale and known burrow structures in the Narji Limestone suggest Ediacaran age close to the Cambrian for the Kurnool Basin and challenges the recently assigned Mesoproterozoic age of the basin. 1.

Bhavani Associate Professor in Civil Engineering, JNTUA College of Engineering, Anantapur. E’mail ID : rb h avani 77@ yahoo.com ABSTRACT Kundu’ is one of the eight sub basins of Pennar basin having 8683 Sq. km of catchment area. Thirty four rain gauge stations located within and around the sub-basin are influencing the catchment area. Percentage areas of influence for various rain gauges were determined by drawing Theissen polygons for all the existing rain gauge stations. Normal monsoon rainfall values for all rain gauge stations were extracted from the Hand book of Statistics, 2013 published by the Chief Planning Offices of respective districts. Weighted normal monsoon rain fall for the entire Kundu sub-basin has been computed and founded to be 649.7 mm. The total yield available in the sub-basin has been estimated for the weighted normal monsoon rainfall using the Strange’s table. For the purpose of yield calculations, Kundu sub-basin catchment has been considered as 50% good and 50% average. The total yield in the sub-basin from the entire catchment area of 8683 Sq. km considering weighted normal monsoon rainfall of 649.7 mm has been estimated as 1053.25 M.Cum. Key words: Basin, Sub-basin, Normal monsoon rainfall, Perpendicular bisectors, Rain gauge station, Thiessen polygon, Weighted area and Yield.
