  • Wave Refraction and Energy Patterns in the Vicinity of Gangavaram, East Coast of India
    Indian Journal of Geo-Marine Sciences Vol. 39(4), December 2010, pp. 509-515 Wave refraction and energy patterns in the vicinity of Gangavaram, east coast of India K. V. S. R. Prasad, S. V. V. Arun Kumar*, Ch. Venkata Ramu & K. V. K. R. K. Patnaik Department of Meteorology and Oceanography, Andhra University, Visakhapatnam– 530003, India *[E-mail: [email protected]] Received 20 August 2010; revised 21 December 2010 Wave energy distribution along Gangavaram, east coast of India has been carried out for the predominant waves representing southwest monsoon (June-September), northeast monsoon (October-February) and storm period (March-May and October) using a wave refraction model. Model computes refraction coefficient, shoaling coefficient, breaker heights and breaker energies along the coast. During all seasons, higher wave energy pattern is observed in the region to the south of the port but towards north, complex wave conditions exist due to rocky headlands and promontories and as a result wave breaking transpires at deeper depths. Low wave energy conditions are observed very near to north breakwater during all the seasons and even during storms. During storm conditions wave energies amplify along the coast. South breakwater of the port is under the region of convergence during southwest monsoon and for the storms approaching in south-south-east direction. Numerical wave refraction studies facilitate the coastal engineers and scientists to understand the coastal processes.

  • Vamsadhara River Water Dispute
    Vamsadhara River Water Dispute drishtiias.com/printpdf/vamsadhara-river-water-dispute Why in News The Chief Ministers of Andhra Pradesh and Odisha will hold talks to clear out all differences with regard to the sharing of Vamsadhara river waters. Andhra Pradesh wants to build the Neradi bridge across the river which will be possible only after Odisha’s consent. Key Points Andhra Pradesh also wants to complete the inter-linking of its Nagavali river with the Vamsadhara and expand the Madduvalasa Reservoir project soon. Madduvalasa Project is a Medium Irrigation Project with a reservoir across Suvarnamukhi river, a tributary of Nagavali river. Agriculture is the only assured economic activity for the people living in the backward region and in the absence of rapid industrialisation, there is a need to concentrate on irrigation projects to make agriculture a viable activity. Background: In February 2006, Odisha sent a complaint to the Central Government under Section 3 of the Inter-State River Water Disputes (ISRWD) Act, 1956 regarding its water disputes with Andhra Pradesh pertaining to Inter-State River Vamsadhara. It demanded for the constitution of an Inter-State Water Disputes Tribunal for adjudication. Grievances of Orissa: Adverse effect of undertaking the construction of a canal (called a flood flow canal at Katragada, Andhra Pradesh) taking off from the river Vamsadhara. The flood flow canal would result in drying up the existing river bed and consequent shifting of the river affecting the groundwater table. Failure of Andhra Pradesh to implement the terms of the inter-state agreement relating to use, distribution and control of waters of vamsadhara and its valley.

Vol. 12 2008 Devarapalli / Natural Disturbances and Cultural Responses 5 ARTICLES Natural Disturbances and Cultural Responses on a River Island in Andhra Pradesh Jesurathnam Devarapalli Abstract Ayodhya Lanka is a river island situated in Vasista Godavari in Andhra Pradesh, India. The island, due to its strategic location in the channel bed, is endowed with rich alluvial soil and provides a rich ground for fishing operations attracting both farming and fishing communities who made their permanent abode on it since times immemorial. Owing to certain special physiographical and ecological features the island possesses five ethno- ecozones (micro-environments) that are effectively managed and exploited by the islanders under the fluctuating environmental conditions. As such, the island is exposed to three important recurring natural disturbances such as perennial floods, erratic rainfall and frost of which the first one has very serious consequences.
