The undulating topography with innumerable depressions, are used as tanks for storage of rainwater for agriculture. The prominent geomorphic units identified in the district through interpretation of Satellite imagery are 1) Structural hills, 2) Ridges, 3) Inselbergs, 4) Bazada, 5) Valley fill, 6) Pediment, 7) Shallow Pediments and 8) Deep Pediments. The Nilgiris on the northwest and Anamalai on the south are the important ranges, which attain a heights of over 2513m above mean sea level (MSL) and the highest elevation in the valleys adjoining the hills is 600 M above MSL. The ‘Palghat Gap’, which is an east-west trending mountain pass, is an important physiographic feature is located in the western part of the district. Geomorphologically, three major units are recognised from west to east. The western part comprises the Western Ghats roughly trending N-S and marked by a continuous range of Hills, extending from Nagercoil in the south upto Nilgiri -Bilgirirangan Hills in the north and further northwards through Karnataka. The elevation of these Hills ranges between 1275m and 2637m. The prominent Hills are Mahendragiri, Agasthiarmalai, Anaimalai, Palani andNilgiris. Doddabetta with an elevation of 2637 m is the highest peak in the Nilgiri Hills. The east-west trending Palghat Gap is a prominent physiographic break in the Western Ghats. The central part of the state is a vast track of dissected pediments and pediplains. Residual Hills in this part viz., Shevaroy, Kalrayan, Chitteri, Kollimalai, Pachchaimalai and Javadi demarcate the extensions of Eastern Ghats, while Karandamalai, Sirumalai andKodaikanal Hills form another set of residual Hills, further south.The eastern part of Tamil Nadu and Pondicherry and Karaikkal are marked by a coastal plain with associated landforms like vast tidal flats, continuous beach ridges, estuaries and lagoons and a narrow but fairly continuous beach. The area is drained by a number of Rivers such as Palar, Cheyyar, Ponnaiyar, Cauvery, Moyar, Bhavani, Amaravathi, Vaigai, Tambraparani etc. flowing ESE from the Western Ghats. Pondicherry and its surrounding lie in the drainage basin of the Gingee River. 6 A.B.M.ENVIRO TECH PVT LTD Karaikkal is located in the fertile Cauvery Delta and is fed by the waters of Arasalar, Nattar, Vanjiyar and Nandalar. The coastline of Tamil Nadu and Pondicherry comprises a number of cusps, spits and wave cut platforms and several palaeo-shorelines. Some of the palaeo-shorelines extend inland suggesting periods of transgression and regression. The ongoing geodynamic process is generally progradation along the coast, which is modified at several places by erosion and deposition by Aeolian and fluvial agents. The eastern areas of the central part of the state are marked by the depositional regime of many Rivers manifested by typical fluvial features like levees, channel bars and palaeo channels, back swamps and vast flood plains.. Rainfall and Climate The district receives the rain under the influence of both southwest and northeast monsoons. The northeast monsoon chiefly contributes to the rainfall in the district and summer rains are negligible. Rainfall data from six stations over the period 1901-2000 were utilized and a perusal of the analysis shows that the normal annual rainfall over the district varies from about 550mm to 900mm.
