Nagpur-440 010 ~"": Regional Centre, Bangalore - 560 024. In Co-operation with Department of Agriculture, Lakshadweep Administration Kavaratti-673555 . FORE\VORD In order to meet the ever increasing food requirement of the growing population and depleting natural resources there is a need to produce more and more food from a unit area of land. For maintaining the soils in a state of high productivity on sustainable basis, there is a need of rational use of these soils and water resources with respect to their health for the sustenance of the society as a whole. The burgeoning population has its effect in encroachment of the agriculturally potential areas near the cities for settlements and also to bring the marginal areas under plough through process of deforestation. This not only affects the area under plough but also degrades the marginal lands thus affecting the ecosystem. Under these conditions, the knowledge of the soils. their extent distribution, characteristics and their use potentials gain prominence in optimising land u eon su tainablt; basis. Additionally the setting of National Land Resource CODllrussion at the Centre and I and Use Boards at 1he States signify the importance of 'oil re ouree maps at state and national level for developing the land use maps. I am pleased to see that ational Bureau of Soil Survey and Land Use Planning is engaged in preparing the soil resource maps of different tates 011 1:250.000 scale and printing on 1:500,000 scale and of the country at 1:1 m scale. Soil maps of few states have already been released and distributed to the state agencies and others are in pipeline. The present publication "Soils of Lakshadweepff is one of the series of publications being brought out by the ationa! Bureau of Soil Survey and Land Use Planning (NBSS&LUP) in cooperation with Lakshadweep Administration, Department of Agriculture. This publication comprises the resource map and a soi Is bulletin indicating the kinds of soils, their problems, extent and distribution and potentia] land for optimising land u -'e. This publication forms a basis for developmental work in t.he field of agriculture, forestry. soil consen'ation to optimise land use on sustainable basis. I, congratulate the team of devoted scientists and staff under the leadership of Director, NBSS&LUP and staff of Department of J\gricuiture, Laksbadweep Administration, to bring ou1 this publication for the benefit of our ociety. ~ ~ .1 (G .. Sing~ Dy. Director General (Solls) leAR, New Delhi PREFACE India is an agriculture based country where about 75 percent of its population is IOvolved In fanning Since agriculture forms the backbone of the country's economy. the soils on which the crops grow, gain a vital importance, Soils are the prime finite natural resources who~e proper management helps to the socia-economic development of the country, India as such is facing great problems of increasing population that demands more and more food from a unit area With the increasing demand for food, fodder and fibre, there is over use or faulty planlllng of land use that results in soil health hazards such as soil degradation thereby declining the soil quality During the green revolution in 1970's with the introduction of high yielding varieties, with the increase in irrigation facilities. associated with high usage of fertilizers and pesticides, the productIOn showed an increasing trend This increase is always associated \~itlr tire pollution and environmental degradation At present, majority of the land resources are degraded and needs an immediate attention and care before they loose their resilienc(' Thus. developing the strategies to slow down the degradation processes or anleliorate the soils to bring back normalcy are the major issues today, In order to estimate the extent of problem and potential areas for agriculture, a systematic resource inventory on I 250.000 scale was planned and undertaken with the cooperation of State Department of Agriculture and State Agricultural Universities The maps provide information on the kinds, extent and the distribution of different soils, (heir nature, characteristics, problems and potentials so as to de~elop strategies not only to increase agricultural production on sustainable basis but also to maintain the ecological balance such that the future generation may not ask the question "here is the land, but where is the soil" The soil resource maps of different states along with their te"1 are bemg brought out In the form of "Soils of India Series" For the Union Territory of Lakshadweep, detailed soil survey was carried out using cadastral maps. The islands are the main coral reserves of the country and supports a fragile ecosystem prone to degradation if used without taking into consideration, the potentials and limitations of the soils Ten soil series were identified and their phases depicting surface texture, slope and erosion were delineated on soil maps Thematic maps on depth, drainage, slope, erosion, surface texture, particle size classes and potential land use were generated using GIS The Soils were classified as per Soil Taxonomy, for understanding the taxa internationally Soil maps on scale 0f 1.8000 and thematic maps on scale J 16.000 were generated and handed over to the user agency The text in Bulletin contains a note on "How to Use The Soils Bulletin" . The report contains I: 16,0001 1 32.000 scale soil and thematic maps for nine islands and 1:2000/1 :4000 scale soil and thematic maps for the smallest island of Bitra. The Bulletin, will be of immense use for different laml users including farmers, extension workers, administrators and planners for rationalising land use It will also help research workers in undertaking research on established soils and in transferring agro-technology to similar soils in the region The Soils Bulletin will go a long way to ensure increased agricultural production on sustainable basis, ~.

Sivakumar & T.Thangaradjou* Centre of Advanced Study in Marine Biology, Faculty of Marine Sciences Annamalai University, Parangipettai - 608 502, Tamilnadu, India *[Email: [email protected]] Received 8 April 2010; revised 26 October 2010 Present study explains the diversity, distribution, biomass and productivity of seagrasses in the Lakshadweep group of Islands. Seven seagrass species under five genera were recorded from nine islands and no seagrass was found at Bitra island. Out of seven seagrass species, Cymodocea serrulata was found to be dominant in the Lakshadweep group of islands whereas Halophila decipiens was found only in Kalpeni island. Biomass varied widely from 72+9 to 944+99 gfr.wt.m-2 among all the species of seagrasses. Productivity also showed clear variation within the species and between the species at different stations. Productivity of the species varied from 2.76+0.17 mgCm-2day-1 to 95.53+10.06 mgCm-2day-1 and it was in the following order of increase: H. decipiens< H. pinifolia< H. uninervis< T. hemprichii< C. rotundata< S. isoetifolium < C. serrulata. The spatial cover of seagrasses in Lakshadweep Island is more and are healthy in almost all the islands.

  • Technical Report on Design and Execution of Desalination Plants in Minicoy and Agatti, UT Lakshadweep
    Technical Report on Design and Execution of Desalination Plants in Minicoy and Agatti, UT Lakshadweep Sea water desalination is attaining increasing attention of present day policy makers, especially with the growing demands that urbanization, population explosion, irregular rainfall and ground water contamination on the fragile natural resources. ‘Low Temperature Thermal Desalination’ (LTTD) is one process that uses the availability of a temperature gradient between two water bodies, such as the Ocean Thermal Gradient that describes temperature variation across the depth of the oceans, to obtain fresh water. The available thermal gradient between warmer surface water and colder deep seawater is utilized by flash evaporating the warm water at low temperatures and condensing the resultant vapour with cold water. Earth System Science Organization, Ministry of Earth Sciences, Government of India, Through National Institute of Ocean Technology (ESSO-NIOT), India, has successfully demonstrated the 100 m3/day capacity land based desalination plant in the remote islands of Agatti and Minicoy of UT Lakshadweep in 2011 following the initial success of similar capacity plant at Kavaratti island.

Corals were represented by 12 species, the most dominant being Acropora and Porites. The distribution of coral was mainly confined to the reef slope and fore reef; however, the cover was very poor except for a few patches on the fore reef towards northwest (< 10%). The lagoon and reef flats were almost devoid of corals. The low counts (0-80x10~ cells I-') and poor composition (11 spp.) of phytoplanktons could be due to oligotrophic waters around the island. The high contents of dissolved oxygen (DO) might be due to photosynthetic activities of macrophytes in the lagoon. Seagrass meadow occupied only 0.14 km2 area of the lagoon leaving 98% of it barren. It was more prominent in the mid- and landward region of the lagoon due to fine and well-sorted thick sediment. Seagrass flora was comprised of two species and was dominated by Cymodocea rotundata.
