Riswana .K.P PG Scholars. Department of Economics DGMMES Mampad College, Malappuram,676542, Kerala Sithara Beegam C.R, PG Scholars. Department of Economics DGMMES Mampad College, Malappuram,676542, Kerala Abstract Kerala experienced an abnormally high rainfall from 1/6/2018 to 19/8/2018. This resulted in serve flooding in 13 out of 14 districts in the state. Chaliyar panchayath is one of the worst places affected by the flood in Kerala. As a resulted, we could see lot of damages there. About 600 families lost their homes, farms and churches. The lava mixed with the intensely flowing mountain water, causing the trees to burn down. Farms and other places were taken the river away, so that they could not be recovered. This paper seriously discusses about the impact of flood on Chaliyar panchayath and suggestions to rebuild the Chaliyar Grama panchayath. Keywords: Rebuild, Flood Farms INTRODUCTION “If we nurture the nature, nature will reverse; Chaliyar Panchayath is a small panchayath which is a part of Neelimbapuram (Nilambur) on the map. A small area of land with a foothold in agriculture with water rich and fertile soil covering a wide range of forests, rivers, streams and small streams. But on August 11 2018, unexpected rain and frequent landslides in the Nilambur region caused flooding in the eastern part of Malappuram. The water of the Chaliyar panchayath has changed the face of the chaliyar panchayath rather than the source of water. Volume XII Issue XI NOVEMBER 2019 Page No: 186 A JOURNAL OF COMPOSITION THEORY ISSN : 0731-6755 The people who migrated to chaliyar and its adjoining areas took up land for agriculture purpose, cut down forests, lined the mountains, and found suitable housing and allied employment in these areas and become permanent residents. This may have been a consequence of the later generations not properly caring for the territories. One of the reasons for this is construction of the hills, the construction of houses, on the hill and the cutting down of forests are the reasons for this. Lava mixed water is only thing that looks different from the normal flooding. The lava mixed with the intensively flowing mountain water, causing the trees to burn farms and other places were taken the river away. PROFILE OF THE AREA District: Malappuram. Block: Nilambur.

FLOOD EXPERIENCE OF CHALIYAR Flood impact on both individuals and communities, and have social, economic, and environmental consequences. The consequences of floods, both negative and positive, very greatly depending on the location and extend flooding, and the vulnerability and value of the natural and construction environment they effect. As most people are well aware, the immediate impacts of flooding includes loss of human life, damage property, destruction of crops, loss of livestock, and deterioration of health condition owning to waterborne diseases. As communication links and infrastructure such as power plants, roads and bridge are damaged and disrupted, some economic activities may come to a standstill, people are forced to their homes and normal life is disrupted. In Chaliyar panchayath Chettiyampara, Aadyanpara, Tharamuttam, Valamthode, there has been a massive rollout in these areas. The river flowed in a roller coaster at Aadyanpara. The damage to infrastructure also causes long-term impacts. Such as disruption to supplies of clean water, waste water treatment, electricity, transport, communication, education and health care,loss of livelihood etc. In one of these sudden blasts, large rocks were thrown into the rivers and water flow was blocked. The water then flowed and covered the entire area. The 50-meter section of Erumamunda road was completely collapsed. The area of Valamthod was almost completely isolated due to landslides; 22.6kms of roads were damaged in the village panchayath. Due to this kind of flood, all the educational institutions were closed down. Flood can also traumatize victims and their families for long period of time. In these areas six members of one family died due to this flood. Emergency intervention by locals, volunteers, Grama panchayath, Revenue, Health, Police and Fire department with their efficient interventions. The people survived a major disaster. Of these, 19 families lost their homes, Volume XII Issue XI NOVEMBER 2019 Page No: 188 A JOURNAL OF COMPOSITION THEORY ISSN : 0731-6755 and142 families were partially damaged. In chaliyar, the worst hit panchayath in district, to houses were wrecked in the deluge at Mathilmoola colony which was home to 54 families, including 26 tribal and 23 SC families. At Chettiyanpara colony, a few kilometers from Mathimoola, 8 houses were completely destroyed, while landslides killed seven. The colony had 16 SC and ST families. The losses of loved ones have deep impacts, especially on children. Displacement from one’s home, loss of property and disruption to business and social affairs can have continuing stress for some people the psychological impact can be long lasting. Flooding in key agricultural production areas can lead to wide spread damage to crops and fencing and loss of livestock. Crop losses through rain damage water logged soils, and delays in harvesting are further intensified by transport problems due to flooded roads and damaged infrastructure. The flow-on effects of reduced agricultural production can often impact well outside the production areas as food prices increases due to shortage in supply. 3hecters of farm land is in ruins in this area. The loss of domestic animal caused about 330000/- rupees in damage and loss of Rs 175000/- reported on the collapse of cattle herds. The lava mixed with the water that came from the roller pot, 80 the whole plantation was burnt. These areas are difficult to cultivate in recent years it also dismissed an important source of income for the locals. All the houses along the banks of the river have been completely taken away. Areas that have been highly modified by human activity tend to suffer more dexterous effects from flooding. Floods tend to further degrade already degrade system. The main issue that, the government and district administration have assured a comprehensive rehabilitation package, there is nothing on the go get development for the chaliyar panchayath. Volume XII Issue XI NOVEMBER 2019 Page No: 189 A JOURNAL OF COMPOSITION THEORY ISSN : 0731-6755 Climate changes expected to affect flooding through changes in rain fall, temperature, sea level and river processes. Climate changes will exacerbate the existing effects on flooding on infrastructure and community services, including roads, strong water and water systems and drainage, rivers flood mitigate works, and private and public assets including houses: business and schools. SUGGESTIONS Provide an opportunity for the water to flow safely in areas that are still at risk. Determine a certain distance from river into the Eco area. Open all clogged water sources & facilitate smooth flow of water. Reforestation Removal of vegetation in and around rivers, increased channel size, dams, levee bank and catchment clearing all work to degrade the hill- slopes, rivers and flood plains, and increased erosion and transfer of both sediment and nutrients. While, cycling of sediments and nutrients is essential to a healthy system, too much sediment and nutrient entering water way has negative impacts on downstream water quality. Climate change may change flood risk management priorities and may event increase the risk from flooding to unacceptable levels in some places. It is there for important that flood risk assessments incorporate an understanding of the impacts of climate change on the flood hazards. Managing present day and future risk from flooding involves a combination of risk avoidance and risk reduction activities. The treatment options could be a combination of avoiding risk where possible, controlling risk through structural or regulatory measures, transferring risk through insurance, accepting risk, emergency management planning, warning systems and communicating risk (including residual risk) to affected parties. The best combination will consider the needs of future generation and not lock communities into a future of increasing risk from flooding. CONCLUSION There are 17 families from the 2 colonies at the relief camp functioning at Eranjimangad Orphanage, while 36 families were shifted to rented houses and cottages. Others are staying with relatives. Things are better in relief camps then at homes for these who moved to rented houses. Food clothes and other necessities are available at the camp where a temporary Anganwadi Volume XII Issue XI NOVEMBER 2019 Page No: 190 A JOURNAL OF COMPOSITION THEORY ISSN : 0731-6755 functions for children. The district administration is set to rehabilitate 37 tribal families belonging to Mathilumoola and chettiyanpara in Nilambur. The plan is shift them to a safe place where fresh houses will be set up. According to Integrated Tribal Development Project (ITDP) district officer T. Sreekumaran, residents of the 2 colonies are not ready to go back as they are now scared by the threat of floods and landslides. The Gadgil report, Kasturirangan report is very important into after the flood. We can try to rebuild Chaliyar Grama panchayath, rebuild the wishes and dreams of the people in the land.

School of Industrial Fisheries, Cochin University of Science & Technology, Cochin 682 016, India E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT The identification of 175 freshwater fish- es from 41 west flowing and 3 east flowing river systems of Kerala were confirmed. These can be grouped under 106 ornamental and 67 food fish- es. The biodiversity status of these fishes was assessed according to IUCN criteria. The results showed that populations of the majority of fish species showed drastic reduction over the past five decades. Thirty-three fish species were found to be endemic to the rivers of Kerala. The distributions of the species were found to vary within and between the river systems and some of the species exhibited a high degree of habitat specificity. The diversity and abundance of the species generally showed an inverse relationship with altitude. The serious threats faced by the freshwater fishes of Kerala are mostly in the form of human interventions and habitat alter- ations and conservation plans for the protection and preservation of the unique and rare fish bio- diversity of Kerala are also highlighted. 164 Biodiversity status of fishes inhabiting rivers of Kerala (S.India) INTRODUCTION river.
