Ans (b) Explanation: Sea breeze is caused due to the heating of land and it occurs in the day time 3. Ans (c) Explanation: • Days are hot, and during the hot season, noon temperatures of over 100°F. are quite frequent. When night falls the clear sky which promotes intense heating during the day also causes rapid radiation in the night. Temperatures drop to well below 50°F. and night frosts are not uncommon at this time of the year. This extreme diurnal range of temperature is another characteristic feature of the Sudan type of climate. • The savanna, particularly in Africa, is the home of wild animals. It is known as the ‘big game country. • The leaf and grass-eating animals include the zebra, antelope, giraffe, deer, gazelle, elephant and okapi. • Many are well camouflaged species and their presence amongst the tall greenish-brown grass cannot be easily detected. The giraffe with such a long neck can locate its enemies a great distance away, while the elephant is so huge and strong that few animals will venture to come near it. It is well equipped will tusks and trunk for defence. • The carnivorous animals like the lion, tiger, leopard, hyaena, panther, jaguar, jackal, lynx and puma have powerful jaws and teeth for attacking other animals. 4. Ans (b) Explanation: Rivers of Tamilnadu • The Thamirabarani River (Porunai) is a perennial river that originates from the famous Agastyarkoodam peak of Pothigai hills of the Western Ghats, above Papanasam in the Ambasamudram taluk.

K. Puram, New Delhi-110066 FOREWORD Salinity is a significant challenge and poses risks to sustainable development of Coastal regions of India. If left unmanaged, salinity has serious implications for water quality, biodiversity, agricultural productivity, supply of water for critical human needs and industry and the longevity of infrastructure. The Coastal Salinity has become a persistent problem due to ingress of the sea water inland. This is the most significant environmental and economical challenge and needs immediate attention. The coastal areas are more susceptible as these are pockets of development in the country. Most of the trade happens in the coastal areas which lead to extensive migration in the coastal areas. This led to the depletion of the coastal fresh water resources. Digging more and more deeper wells has led to the ingress of sea water into the fresh water aquifers turning them saline. The rainfall patterns, water resources, geology/hydro-geology vary from region to region along the coastal belt.

  • Irrigation Projects of Tamil Nadu from 2001-2021
    IRRIGATION PROJECTS OF TAMIL NADU FROM 2001-2021 NAME – VRINDA GUPTA INSTITUTION – K.R. MANGALAM UNIVERSITY 1 ABSTRACT From the ancient times water is always most important for agriculture purpose for growing crops. Since thousand years, humans have relied on agriculture to feed their communities and they have needed irrigation to water their crops. Irrigation includes artificially applying water to the land to enhance the growing of crops. Over the years, irrigation has come in many different forms in countries all over the world. Irrigation projects involves hydraulic structures which collect, convey and deliver water to those areas on which crops are grown. Irrigation projects unit may starts from a small farm unit to those serving extensive areas of millions of hectares. Irrigation projects consist of two types first a small irrigation project and second a large irrigation project. Small irrigation project includes a low diversion or an inexpensive pumping plant along with small channels and some minor control structures. Large irrigation project includes a huge dam, a large storage reservoir, hundreds kilometers of canals, branches and distributaries, control structures and other works. In this paper we discussing about irrigation plan of Tamil Nadu from 2001-2021. INTRODUCTION Water is the important or elixir of life, a precious gift of nature to humans and millions of other species living on the earth. It is hard to find in most part of the world. 4% of India’s land area in Tamil Nadu and inhabited by 6% of India’s population but water resources in India is only 2.5%. In Tamil Nadu, water is a serious limiting factor for agriculture growth which leads to irrigation reduces risk in farming, increases crop productivity, provides higher employment opportunities to the rural areas and increases farmer income.

  • A Study on the Impact of Water Quality on the Murrel Fish Channa Striata
    RSC Advances PAPER View Article Online View Journal | View Issue A study on the impact of water quality on the murrel fish Channa striata and Channa punctata Cite this: RSC Adv.,2018,8,11375 from three major Southern Tamilnadu rivers, India† Raghavan Kuppu, Shobana Manoharan and Ramesh Uthandakalaipandian * Rivers are one of the natural fresh water resources that satisfy the domestic, agricultural and industrial needs of people. The Cauvery, Vaigai and Thamirabarani are the three major rivers flowing through the Southern Tamil Nadu region of India. In this study, the Water Quality Index (WQI) and heavy metal concentrations of river water during the pre- and post-monsoon periods in 2015 were recorded and the impact of heavy metal accumulation in two important murrel fish species, Channa striata and Channa punctata, was analysed using micronuclei and histology assays. The results revealed that the WQI was greater than 50 in most sites, indicating poor water quality for the sustainability of living organisms. The Heavy metal Pollution Index (HPI) was critical with values >100 in a few sites along the Cauvery and the Vaigai. The Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 3.0 Unported Licence. bioaccumulation of heavy metals was higher in the C. punctata than in the C. striata in most instances. Cd, Cu and Pb showed higher bioaccumulation in the pre-monsoon samples whereas As, Cr and Zn exhibited higher bioaccumulation during the post monsoon period. The Ni bioconcentration was consistent in both of the periods. The accumulation of heavy metals in the fish organs was as follows: gills > liver > kidney > muscle. The muscles exhibited Hazard Quotient (HQ) values 0.05–3.3 Â 10À6 times lower than the Reference Dose (RfD) level, indicating no significant health risk from the intake of these metals through the consumption of their muscle tissues.

    IJIRST –International Journal for Innovative Research in Science & Technology| Volume 1 | Issue 12 | May 2015 ISSN (online): 2349-6010 Design and Implementation of Water Quality Integrated System for Periyar River J. Jeberlin Jency R. V. Sheeja PG Student of Remote Sensing Senior Scientist Department of Civil Engineering Department of Environmental Sciences Kerala State Remote Sensing and Environment Regional Centre of Anna University, Tirunelveli-627007. Centre, Thiruvananthapuram. S. Karuppasamy Assistant Professor Department of Civil Engineering Regional Centre of Anna University, Tirunelveli-627007. Abstract Due to the improperly treated and unplanned release of effluents of industry, municipal and domestic into the nearby streams and ponds and the majority usage of water for irrigation are increasing the ionic concentration of the river water and making it more saline. In order to assess the water quality, the present study has been undertaken to map the spatial variability of water quality using Geographical Information System (GIS) approach. Periyar river is the main drinking water resource of Cochin corporation, Aluva and Paravur towns. The water quality data for 20 sampling stations were collected from Pollution Control Board (PCB). The spatial variation map for the major water quality parameters are generated using Arc View 9.3.1 software tool (i.e.,) Inverse Distance Weighted (IDW).To analyze the pollutant sources, landuse/land cover change detection is needed. Geographical Information System (GIS) is a potential tool to detect the landuse/land cover changes using toposheet and satellite images. From this study, the water pollution sources were identified. Finally, water quality integrated system is designed using Visual Studio 2010 and asp.net.

  • Chapter Iv Audit of Transactions
    CHAPTER IV AUDIT OF TRANSACTIONS Audit of transactions of the Departments of the Government, their field formations as well as that of the autonomous bodies brought out several instances of lapses in management of resources and failures in the observance of the norms of regularity, propriety and economy. These have been presented in the succeeding paragraphs. 4.1 Wasteful/unfruitful expenditure and excess payment PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT 4.1.1 Unfruitful expenditure on excavation of branch canals Excavation of branch canals to irrigate 4,191 acres of new ayacut, even when there was insufficient water to irrigate the existing ayacut resulted in expenditure of Rs 12.45 crore remaining unfruitful. Water losses up to 10 per cent occurred when water for irrigating the ayacut of Periyar System1 was carried through Vaigai river between Vaigai dam and Peranai regulator (32.4 km). To reduce this transmission loss, a lined link canal from Vaigai dam to Peranai regulator was constructed (August 1995) at a cost of Rs 35.12 crore. To utilise the water thus saved, excavation of 12 unlined branch canals from the link canal to irrigate 4,191 acres of land was proposed (March 1996) under the World Bank aided Tamil Nadu Water Resources Consolidation Project. The new ayacut was to get last priority for irrigation after supply to the original and extended ayacuts of the Periyar System. The work was split into two packages and awarded to the contractors in May and June 1999. While 10 branch canals were completed by November 2002 and another in March 2003, the last canal was not completed (March 2005) due to non-acquisition of land over some portion.

Climate signals are the indicators of climate change evidence in a particular region or area, which can be witnessed through an erratic rainfall pattern showing less variability than usual which simultaneously affects the hydrological cycle of water systems in major. The behaviour of any weather pattern can be visualized by statistical analysis in combination with trend patterns. This study was made to draw the rainfall and river discharge variability of the Thamirabarani River, Tamilnadu, India through statistical analogy. The trend analysis was carried out by non-parametric Mann-Kendall, Spearman’s Rho and Linear Regression Test for ten Rain Gauge stations and one Stream Gauge station from 1980 to 2018 (39 years). The results were interpreted for annual and seasonal patterns where seasonal includes South- west monsoon, North-east monsoon, Winter and Summer periods respectively. This statistical analysis of weather parameters is a preliminary investigation for further research, through hydrological simulations, predictions and scenarios a better management and planning of water resources can be achieved in the Thamirabarani River basin, Tamilnadu, India.
