IDRB Report.Pdf Irrigation Department Government of Kerala PERFORMANCE PROGRESSION POLICIES Irrigation Design and Research Board November 2020 PREFACE Water is a prime natural resource, a basic human need without which life cannot sustain. With the advancement of economic development and the rapid growth of population, water, once regarded as abundant in Kerala is becoming more and more a scarce economic commodity. Kerala has 44 rivers out of which none are classified as major rivers. Only four are classified as medium rivers. All these rivers are rain-fed (unlike the rivers in North India that originate in the glaciers) clearly indicating that the State is entirely dependent on monsoon. Fortunately, Kerala receives two monsoons – one from the South West and other from the North East distributed between June and December. Two-thirds of the rainfall occurs during South West monsoon from June to September. Though the State is blessed with numerous lakes, ponds and brackish waters, the water scenario remains paradoxical with Kerala being a water –stressed State with poor water availability per capita. The recent landslides and devastating floods faced by Kerala emphasize the need to rebuild the state infrastructure ensuring climate resilience and better living standards. The path to be followed to achieve this goal might need change in institutional mechanisms in various sectors as well as updation in technology. Irrigation Design and Research Board with its functional areas as Design, Dam Safety, Hydrology, Investigation etc., plays a prominent role in the management of Water Resources in the State. The development of reliable and efficient Flood Forecasting and Early Warning System integrated with Reservoir Operations, access to real time hydro-meteorological and reservoir data and its processing, etc. have become inevitable to ensure climate resilience. Being an organization that continuously strives in pursuit of excellence in the field of quality design and innovative research for water resources management of the State, capacity building of the technical resource in Irrigation Design and Research Board (IDRB) is of prime importance to achieve these goals. This documentation summarizes the strategy for performance improvement of IDRB to complement the efforts taken by Water Resources Department to rebuild the State in line with the goals envisaged by various Government/International agencies. ii The document suggests specific short-term goals and targets for each wing under IDRB so as to ensure overall development of the organization in the long-run. The various goals are being set with a view to develop climate resilient infrastructure and new major development projects that ensures people and their assets are able to withstand the onslaught of future disasters. Some of the major achievements of IDRB are also included. This document is prepared with a view to clearly lay down the path for performance betterment and is hoped to serve as an evaluation tool. I wish to place on record my heartfelt thanks to Hon’ble Minister for Water Resources, Government of Kerala Sri. K Krishnankutty for his extraordinary support and encouragement. I also wish to place on record my sincere gratitude to Sri. T K Jose IAS, Additional Chief Secretary, Home & Water Resources Department for his intellectual inputs and being the visionary, whose relentless follow-up has paved way in formulating this document. I thank Sri. Pranab Jyothi Nath IAS, Special Secretary, Water Resources for his advice and offer in supporting the document so as to realize the goals envisioned in this document. I also thank various other staff in the Government as well as State Planning Board for their offer of support in ensuring the ideals should this document be published. I thank all the Joint Directors (Smt. Subhalekshhmi R, Canals, Smt. Bindhu K P, Design Manual, Smt. Manju S, Dam Safety, Smt. Ranjitha C N, Dams, Smt.

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.

  • The Sand Bar Formation and Its Impact on the Mangrove Ecosystem: a Case Study of Kadalundi Estuary of Kadalundi River Basin in Kerala, India
    Current World Environment Vol. 11(1), 65-71 (2016) The Sand Bar Formation and its Impact on the Mangrove Ecosystem: A Case Study of Kadalundi Estuary of Kadalundi River Basin in Kerala, India K B BINDU1* and G JAYAPAL2 Department of Geography, Kannur University. http://dx.doi.org/10.12944/CWE.11.1.08 (Received: March 11, 2016; Accepted: April 06, 2016) Abstract Mangrove ecosystems are prone to die due to both anthropogenic and natural effects. The present study is a case study of how the formation of sand bars affects the natural mangrove ecosystem and becoming a threat to its rich biodiversity of flora and fauna. The Kadalundi – Vallikkunnu Community Reserve located in Kozhikode and Malappuram Districts in Kerala State is the first community reserve of Kerala, declared in 2007 which spread across 1.5 sq. km. and this area includes Kadalundi bird sanctuary, mangroves and estuarine. These area mainly affected by numerous biotic interferences like over fishing, collection of oyster and mussels, mining of sand and lime and also retting of coconut. The formation of sand bars at the mouth of the river has resulted in the massive die back of the mangrove vegetation, especially that of Avicennia Marina which is one of the five species of mangroves found in the Kadalundi – Vallikunnu community reserve. The illegal utilization of land for coconut plantation, urbanization and dumping of urban waste near the mouth of the river had made the problem highly complicated. The present study highlights the need for urgent measures to be adopted from the authorities to ensure community participation for restoration of community reserve.
