Prof. P. Seralathan (Research Supervisor) Dept. of Marine Geology and Geophysics School of Marine Sciences Cochin -16 Cochin University of Science and Technology August, 2003. Cochin - 682 016 PREFACE Water is the lifeblood of every living creature on the earth. Through the wonders of nature, water can take different forms. Although about 72 percent of the earth's surface is covered with water, the fresh water including groundwater occupies a small portion of it. It is easy to understand the significance of water in our lives however; it is difficult to understand the characteristics and movement of water with in the earth's surface - the groundwater. In India, more than 90% of rural and nearly 30% of urban population depends on groundwater for meeting their drinking and domestic requirements. In addition, it accounts for nearly 60% of the irrigation potential created in the country. The spatio-temporal variation in rainfall and regional/local differences in geology and geomorphology has led to an uneven distribution of groundwater in different regions across the country. So an attempt has been made to develop a scientific database on the Muvattupuzha river basin, Kerala, spreading over an area of 1488 km2 (latitudes, 9° 40' - 10° 10' Nand longitudes, 76° 20' - 77° 00' E). The present investigation deals with the hydrogeological characteristics of the Muvattupuzha river basin. Geologically this basin is characterised by Precambrian crystalline rocks overlained by laterites. Groundwater occurs under water table conditions in laterites and semi-confined to confined conditions in fractured crystalline rocks. In weathered crystallines, the depth and intensity of weathering controls the occurrence and movement of groundwater. But in hard crystallines with negligible weathering and lateritisation, the presence of lineaments and joints are the controlling factors. The lateritic clay materials also reduce hydraulic conductivity to some extent in this basin. The occurrence of dykes and veins in the area may at times acts as barriers to groundwater movement. Studies relating to hydrogeology, hydrometeorology, hydrochemistry, geophysics and remote sensing are essential for a scientific management and sustainable development of groundwater resources. Muvattupuzha river basin experiences serious water shortage during April and May every year. Except a preliminary study by the Muvattupuzha Valley Irrigation Project (MVIP) and Central Ground Water Board (CGWB) in the eighties, no serious attempt has been made to study the behaviour of groundwater characteristics, aquifer parameters, groundwater chemistry, demarcation of potential groundwater zones etc. Hence the groundwater of the Muvattupuzha river basin has been studied by conventional survey (hydrological characteristics, geophysical analysis and groundwater chemistry) and remote sensing techniques. Geographic information system, being the best tool to create scientific groundwater database, has also been employed. The thesis has been addressed in 7 chapters with further subdivisions. The first chapter is introductory, stating the necessity of an integrated study and drawing it from a careful review of literature relevant to the present study. It also provides a description about the study area, geology, drainage, physiography, climate and land use. It also contains the major objectives of the present study. Chapter 2 deals with the methodology adopted in this work. The collection of groundwater samples, processing techniques, various laboratory methods adopted in the analysis of water samples, pumping test analysis, resistivity data analysis, satellite data collection, image processing techniques and Geographic Information System are presented in detail. The hydrogeology of the basin is discussed in chapter 3. The systematic description of water level study, water fluctuation study, pumping tests etc. and their results are covered in this chapter. Chapter 4 deals with the hydrogeophysical characteristics based on resistivity analysis. The layer parameters and probable phreatic potential zone are identified. Chapter 5 examines the groundwater quality of the basin for the pre and post monsoon seasons. The suitability of the groundwater for various purposes like domestic, irrigation and industries are evaluated. Chapter 6 integrates the remotely sensed data (hydrogeomorphology, lineament, landuse etc.), terrain parameters (slope, drainage etc.) and geophysical data with the help of Geographic Information System to demarcate the groundwater potential zones of the basin. By in putting hydrogeological, geophysical and hydrogeochemical data in GIS a strong database of this basin has been generated. A summary of the work and the major conclusions drawn thereof are given in Chapter 7.

  • Living to Tell the Tale-The Knanaya Christians of Kerala
    Living to Tell The Tale-The Knanaya Christians of Kerala Maria Ann Mathew , Department of Sociology, Delhi School of Economics. LIVING TO TELL THE TALE- THE KNANAYA CHRISTIANS OF KERALA In the first week of August, Kottayam town witnessed a protest rally by approximately 600 former members of the Knanaya Christians. The rally vouched for the restoration of the erstwhile Knanaya identity of the participants, who by way of marrying outside the Knanaya circle, got ex- communicated from the community. What is it about the Knanaya Community that people who have been ousted from it, refuse to part with their Knanaya identity? Who can give them their Knanaya Identity back? What is the nature of this identity? Belonging to a Jewish-Christian Ancestry, the Knanaya Christians of Kerala are believed to have reached the port of Kodungaloor (Kerala), in 345 CE, under the leadership of Thomas of Cana. This group, also known as ‘Thekkumbaggar’ (Southists) claims to have been practising strict endogamy since the time of their arrival. ‘Thekkumbaggar’ has been opposed to the ‘Vadakkumbaggar’ (Northists) who were the native Christians of that time, for whose ecclestiacal and spiritual uplift, it is believed that the Knanayas migrated from South Mesopotamia. However, the Southists did not involve in marriage relations with the Northists. The Knanaya Christians today, number up to around 2,50,000 people. Within the Knanaya Christians, there are two groups that follow different churches-one follows the Catholic rite and the other , the Jacobite rite. This division dates back to the Coonen Kurush Satyam of 1653, when the Syrian Christians of Kerala, revolted against the Portuguese efforts to bring the Syrian Christians under the Catholic rite.

  • The Continuing Decline of Hindus in Kerala
    The continuing decline of Hindus in Kerala Kerala—like Assam, West Bengal, Purnia and Santhal Pargana region of Bihar and Jharkhand, parts of Western Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand, Mewat of Haryana and Rajasthan, and many of the States in the northeast—has seen a drastic change in its religious demography in the Census period, beginning from 1901. The share of Indian Religionists in Kerala, who are almost all Hindus, has declined from nearly 69 percent in 1901 to 55 percent in 2011, marking a loss of 14 percentage points in 11 decades. Unlike in the other regions mentioned above, in Kerala, both Christians and Muslims have considerable presence and both have gained in their share in this period. Of the loss of 14 percentage points suffered by the Indian Religionists, 9.6 percentage points have accrued to the Muslims and 4.3 to the Christians. Christians had in fact gained 7 percentage points between 1901 and 1961; after that they have lost about 3 percentage points, with the rapid rise in the share of Muslims in the recent decades. This large rise in share of Muslims has taken place even though they are not behind others in literacy, urbanisation or even prosperity. Notwithstanding the fact that they equal others in these parameters, and their absolute rate of growth is fairly low, the gap between their growth and that of others remains very wide. It is wider than, say, in Haryana, where growth rates are high and literacy levels are low. Kerala, thus, proves that imbalance in growth of different communities does not disappear with rising literacy and lowering growth rates, as is fondly believed by many.

Much of the materials released during natural crustal weathering have been carried to the ocean by various geological agents such as rivers, wind, glaciers etc., of which rivers alone transport about 90% of the total sediment flux annually. However, all the sediments borne off by rivers seldom reach the sea as considerable quantity is detained in the estuarine and the other near shore environments.

  • A Study on Ground Water Quality Analysis in the District of Idukki, Kerala
    International Journal of Scientific and Engineering Research Volume 8, Issue 3, March 2017 ISSN 2229-5518 842 A Study on Ground Water Quality Analysis in the District of Idukki, Kerala By Dhiraj Singha, ABSTRACT: This study has been done in a district of Kerala, Idukki. Here to check the quality of Ground water, data are taken from where the samples are taken from 12 dug wells of this district. The quality of Ground Water (WG) will be measured in the term of drinking and irrigation purpose along with the changeability of seasons and space. So for that, some parameters and calculations are done like PH, EC, TDS, SAR, TH, % Na, SSP, Potential Salinity, Permeability Index, Mg Hazard, Mg Ratio etc. Otherwise Wilcox and Richard’s diagram has been used to know the quality of water for the irrigation purpose. Gibb’s diagram has been used and it has been found that the GW chemistry of this region is controlled by the rock dominance. Water Quality Index has been also used which gives positive result for the use of this water. Piper’s Trilinear diagram has also been used to know the type of the GW, on the basis of cations and anions, which shows the type of Ground Water like Carbonate hardness (Secondary alkalinity), exceeds 50% (Chemical properties are dominated by alkaline earth and weak acids), Non-carbonate hardness (Secondary salinity), exceeds 50% (Chemical properties are dominated by alkaline earth and strong acids), Mixed types (No cation-anion pairs exceeds 50%). There has been also a try to know the relation between the major ions and their chemistry.
