In the recent past, drilling of the bore-wells increased massively in search of water since most of the open wells dried up in Velliangadu area of Coimbatore district. Open well water used to be the primary source of water for irrigation purpose till last decade but more and more bore wells were drilled in search of water up to 1000 feet underground. Since the drilled bore wells were of a minimum of 300 feet and a maximum of above 1000 feet it was quite interesting to analyze the physicochemical properties of groundwater and help the farmers to gain knowledge on water quality parameters. The quality of groundwater in Velliangadu area was analyzed by determining the pH, Hardness, Alkalinity, Total Dissolved Solids, Chloride content and Electrical Conductivity. Since all the parameters were in good agreement with the standard values given by various organizations it is concluded that the groundwater quality of Velliangadu area is good. -

The National Development Council resolved that Agricultural Development strategies must be reoriented to meet the needs of farmers and called upon the Central and State governments to evolve a strategy to rejuvenate agriculture with a commitment to achieve four per cent annual growth in the agricultural sector during the 11th plan. The council also recommended special Additional Central Assistance Scheme named National Agriculture Development Programme (NADP) be launched. To implement this, formulation of District level action plans is the pre-requisite and thus District Agriculture Plan of various districts in Tamil Nadu has been prepared with the financial assistance of Government of India. The task of preparing the District Agriculture Plan has been given to Tamil Nadu Agricultural University by Government of Tamil Nadu. Thus 29 Districts level Plans, excluding Chennai and Nilgris, were prepared by the Centre for Agricultural and Rural Development Studies, Tamil Nadu Agricultural University. -

RAMACHANDRAN Sm 1|h St. George CHIEF MINISTER MADRAS-600 009 Dated 19th January 1987 FOREWORD The idea of providing whole-some food to the needy children, stemmed from my own childhood experience of poverty. When hunger haunted my home, a lady next door extended a bowl of rice gruel to us and thus saved us from cruel death. Such mtrciful women-folk elected me as the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu having great faith in me. 1 felt it lim y bounden duty to provide atleast one meal per day to the poor children in order to eliminate the suffering of their helpless mothers. Thus was born the massive nutritious noon meal programme which on date covers more than 8.5 million children through 66,000 centres spread all over the State of Tamil Nadu. ■The programme is not just to appease the hunger of the children, though it is the most important of the aims. We have to build the character of the chffdfeil in all possible ways and should see them as responsible citizens of tomorrow. -

Abstract: This study analysed treatment cost of waterborne disease by households in rural areas of Coimbatore district, Tamilnadu. A multistage sampling method namely systematic, stratified and proportionate random technique was used to select sample villages. 342 sample households were selected. Method of data analysis involved is descriptive statistics and linear regression for the sample households. The linear regression estimates, revealed the increase in the total expenditure per month, affected person children waterborne disease hepatitis and jaundice. Thus the cost of treatment for waterborne disease also increases. Keyword: Water Quality, Treatment cost, Water borne disease, Rural water supply, India I. Introduction Waterborne diseases are caused by contamination of water by virus, bacteria (cholera, typhoid fever, bacillary dysentery etc.), parasites, or chemicals. Water gets contaminated either at source level or while passing through pipes which are poorly laid and maintained, or in the homes when it is not stored properly. About 85 percent of the rural population in India is solely dependent on ground water; so quantity and quality are questionable. -

The trend analysis was done by using Mann-Kendall test. The results indicated increasing trends in annual rainfall. The mean Precipitation Concentration Index of Valaiyar sub basin and Palar sub basin indicates strongly irregular monthly distribution of annual rainfall. The mean Precipitation Concentration Index of Aliyar sub basin and Sholaiyar sub basin indicates irrugular monthly distribution of annual rainfall. The temporal pattern of rainfall trends analyzed in this study is a basic and important requirement for agricultural planning and management of water resources.

Chapter – Iii Agro Climatic Zone Profile
CHAPTER – III AGRO CLIMATIC ZONE PROFILE This chapter portrays the Tamil Nadu economy and its environment. The features of the various Agro-climatic zones are presented in a detailed way to highlight the endowment of natural resources. This setting would help the project to corroborate with the findings and justify the same. Based on soil characteristics, rainfall distribution, irrigation pattern, cropping pattern and other ecological and social characteristics, the State Tamil Nadu has been classified into seven agro-climatic zones. The following are the seven agro-climatic zones of the State of Tamil Nadu. 1. Cauvery Delta zone 2. North Eastern zone 3. Western zone 4. North Western zone 5. High Altitude zone 6. Southern zone and 7. High Rainfall zone 1. Cauvery Delta Zone This zone includes Thanjavur district, Musiri, Tiruchirapalli, Lalgudi, Thuraiyur and Kulithalai taluks of Tiruchirapalli district, Aranthangi taluk of Pudukottai district and Chidambaram and Kattumannarkoil taluks of Cuddalore and Villupuram district. Total area of the zone is 24,943 sq.km. in which 60.2 per cent of the area i.e., 15,00,680 hectares are under cultivation. And 50.1 per cent of total area of cultivation i.e., 7,51,302 19 hectares is the irrigated area. This zone receives an annual normal rainfall of 956.3 mm. It covers the rivers ofCauvery, Vennaru, Kudamuruti, Paminiar, Arasalar and Kollidam. The major dams utilized by this zone are Mettur and Bhavanisagar. Canal irrigation, well irrigation and lake irrigation are under practice. The major crops are paddy, sugarcane, cotton, groundnut, sunflower, banana and ginger. Thanjavur district, which is known as “Rice Bowl” of Tamilnadu, comes under this zone. -
