E-mail: [email protected] How to Cite Abstract Naveenkumar, J. and A quantitative inventory was conducted in two distinctive tropical deciduous forests at Sundarapandian, SM. Suruli falls forest of southern Western Ghats. Two one-hectare plots were established (2018). Assessment of tree and all trees >10cm DBH measured. Species richness, density, family importance value diversity in distinctive de- (FIV) and importance value index (IVI) were calculated and the results varied among the ciduous forests of Suruli two sites. A total of 777 stems and 52 species were documented in both the sites and falls, Southern Western moist deciduous forest (MDF) had maximum number species richness and density than Ghats. Journal of Applied dry deciduous forest (DDF). The basal area was higher in MDF (502 stems/ha and 16.52 and Natural Science, 10 m2/ha) than in DDF (275 stems/ha and 7.23 m2/ha). However, Shannon and evenness (4): 1085 -1093 indices showed a negative trend (DDF- 2.62, 0.41 and MDF- 2.37, 0.27). Diameter class- wise distribution of trees showed reverse ‘J shaped’ curve in both the forest types.

Water is essential for life to flourish in this world. Therefore, the Great Poet Tiruvalluvar says, “ڮϋW mikahJ cybfå‹ ah®ah®¡F« th‹Ï‹W mikahJ xG¡F” (FwŸ 20) (The world cannot exist without water and order in the world can exists only with rain) Tamil Nadu is mainly dependent upon Agriculture for it’s economic growth. Hence, timely and adequate supply of “water” is an important factor. Keeping the above in mind, I the Hon’ble Chief Minister with her vision and intention, to make Tamil Nadu a “numero uno” State in the country with “Peace, Prosperity and Progress” as the guiding principle, has been guiding the Department in the formulation and implementation of various schemes for the development and maintenance of water resources. On the advice, suggestions and with the able guidance of Hon’ble Chief Minister, the Water Resources Department is maintaining the Water Resources Structures such as, Anicuts, Tanks etc., besides rehabilitating and forming the irrigation infrastructure, which are vital for the food production and prosperity of the State.

    Report on the Ichthyo Fauna of Anna and Madurai Districts" Tamil Nadu

    Bee. zool. $urv. India,. 89( 1-4) : 233-243, 1991. REPORT ON THE ICHTHYO FAUNA OF ANNA AND MADURAI DISTRICTS" TAMIL NADU T J.INDRA Zooloqrcal Survey of India, Madras INTRODUCTION During the years 1986-1987, Zoological Survey of India, Southern Regional Station, carried out two extensive surveys of Anna and Madurai Districts, in Tamil Nadu, under the Mopping Survey Scheme. Madurai District is traversed by the river Vaigai and its tributaries such as Theni, Surali and Moolar. These are seasonal rivers. Apart from these water ways there are few lakes i.e. Kodaikanal Lake and Berijam Lake in Anna District. Some water falls and hillstreams were also surveyed for their Ichthyo fauna. The Vaigai Dam across' Vaigai river near Madurai and Sathiar Dam also near Madurai were also surveyed. No comprehensive account on the fish fauna of Anna and Madurai Districts is available and therefore, a list of fishes from these districts is worth reporting. The data under each species includes its first reference, number of examples, their size range in mm. in standard length, area of collection, date of collection, geographical distribution and remarks (wherever variations are observed). In all there are 34 species in the present collection of 560 examples (503 adults and 57 juveniles) belonging to 9 families. Puntius arenatus (Day) is being reported for the first time from Vaigai Dam. Puntius filamentosus (Valenciennes) and Puntius mahecola (Val.) were treated as two distinct species in accordance with the findings of Selvaraj, Mathew and Abraham (1986-87). Jayaram (1981) was followed for the identification and distribution of fishes.

The demand of water is increasing day by day. So, groundwater resources play a vital role for additional demand by farmers and Industries and domestic usage leads to rapid development of groundwater. About 63% of available groundwater resources are now being used. However, the development is not uniform all over the State, and in certain districts of Tamil Nadu, intensive groundwater development had led to declining water levels, increasing trend of Over Exploited and Critical Firkas, saline water intrusion, etc. ADMINISTRATIVE SET UP The geographical extent of Theni District is 3, 24,230 hectares or 3,242.30 sq.km. Accounting for 2.05 percent of the geographical area of Tamilnadu State. The district has well laid roads and railway lines connecting all major towns within and outside the State. For administrative purpose, the district has been bifurcated into 5 Taluks, 8 Blocks and 17 Firkas .

ANANDAN MINISTER FOR FORESTS © GOVERNMENT OF TAMIL NADU 2014 DEMAND No.54 POLICY NOTE 2014-2015 FOREST DEPARTMENT INTRODUCTION "kâÚU« k©Q« kiyÍ« mâãH‰ fhL« cilaJ mu©" - ÂU¡FwŸ (742) "A fort is that which owns fount of waters crystal clear, an open space, a hill, and shade of beauteous forest near." - Thirukkural (742) The ancient Tamil poets have emphasized the importance of dense forests, clean water and fertile soil in providing ecological security to the mankind. Forests are a complex eco-system which play a dual role of a renewable resource and also as a vital support base for safeguarding the overall environment and ecological balance. It is forest cover that has preserved the soil and its heavy humus that has acted as a porous reservoir to 1 retain water and is gradually releasing it in a sustained flow over a period of time. Trees draw water from the earth crust and release it to the atmosphere by process of transpiration as a part of water cycle. Trees also purify the air by releasing oxygen into the atmosphere after consuming carbon-di-oxide during photosynthesis. The survival and well-being of any nation depends on sustainable social and economic progress, which satisfies the needs of the present generation without compromising the interest of future generation. Spiraling population and increasing industrialization have posed a serious challenge to the preservation of our terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Overexploitation of our resources due to rapid population growth has lead to degradation of forests and denudation of agricultural lands.

    Tamil Nadu Biodiversity Conservation and Greening Project (TBGP)

    MAJOR ONGOING SCHEMES – 2014-15 STATE SCHEMES Tamil Nadu Biodiversity Conservation and Greening Project (TBGP) An externally aided ‘Tamil Nadu Biodiversity Conservation and Greening Project’ at an outlay of Rs. 686 crores is under implementation from 2011-12, which will continue till 2018-19. This project focuses on biodiversity conservation through forest protection and socio-economic development of forest fringe villagers and tribal communities. It will also help to continue the State’s efforts in increasing tree cover outside forests by taking up tree cultivation in private lands. During 2013-14, the project was implemented at an outlay of Rs.96.80 crores. This scheme is being continued in 2014-15 with an outlay of Rs.143.69 crores. Tamil Nadu Afforestation Project (Phase-II) In order to uplift the quality of life of the forest dependants and poorer sections of the society and to restore the degraded forests through their participation, a massive Joint Forest Management based Tamil Nadu Afforestation Project-II was implemented at a cost of Rs.567.42 crores, with funding from the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) since 2005-06. From 2005-06 to 2012-13, afforestation works were taken up over an extent of 1,77,500 hectares of degraded forests besides carrying out developmental works in 800 forest fringe villages including 150 tribal villages. JICA Funds: A two year plan has been conceptualized for about Rs.50 crores to ensure sustainability of the project activities by utilizing the balance loan amount available under Tamil Nadu Afforestation Project Phase-II. State Funds: Maintenance of plantations and soil moisture conservation works in TAP Phase–I areas were carried out at a cost of Rs.27.34 crores under TAP Phase-II during 2011-12 and 2012-13.
