The objective of the development is harnessing th e waters of the Bharathapuzha, the Chalakudi and the Periyar basins for irrigation and power production in both the states. It accomplishes the diversion and integration of eight west flowing rivers, six in the Anaimalai hills and two in the plains for t he benefit of the drought prone areas in the Coimbatore and Erode districts of Tamilnadu state and Palghat District of Kerala State. Storage and diversion works on the Eight Rivers with interconnecting tunnels have been constructed to divert the waters impounded to the plains of the Coimbatore and Erode districts of Tamilnadu state and Chittur area of the Kerala State. The Reservoirs lie at various elevations ranging between EL +3800 feet and +1050 feet and this difference in elevations has made it possible for generation of hydro-power. RESERVOIRS The Components of the system comprises one diversion weir, seven storage reservoirs , conveyance system, interconnecting tunnels and wide network of canal distribution system. The Main components of the syste m are 1.Upper Nirar weir 2.Lower Nirar Dam 3.Sholayar Reservoir 4.Parambikulam Reservoir 5.Thunacadavu Reservoir 6.Peruvaripallam Reservoir 7.Aliyar Reservoir 8.Thiurmoorthy Reservoir 3 SUB BASIN DETAILS Parambikulam Aliyar Basin comprises the following t hree sub basins: 1.Sholayar Sub basin 2.Aliyar sub basin 3.Palar Sub basin In the above, Sholayar sub basin has no direct ayacut and an extent of 20536 ha is irrigated from the Aliyar Reservoir in Aliyar sub basin and 1,53,965 ha is irrigated from T hirumoorthy Reservoir in Palar sub basin. Aliyar and Palar are the two sub basins in the Parambikulam Aliyar Project selected for implementing the World Bank aided IAM WARM Project. ALIYAR SUB BASIN The Aliyar River has its source in the Anamalai Hills. It flows in a north-westerly direction for about 37 Kms in Tamilnadu and enters into Kerala and finally confluence in Bharathapuzha. Uppar and Palar River are the major tributaries of Aliyar River. This river has got an old ayacut of 2576 ha of wet lands, through a system of five anicuts. The last Anicut in this series is Vadakkalur Anicut and below it there are 4 major anicuts in Kerala State irrigating an area of 8094 ha. The total catchment area at the last Anicut in Kerala State is 419 Sq.Miles of wh ich 366 Sq.Miles lies in Tamilnadu State. The Taluk covered in the sub basin is Pollachi of Coimbatore District. The annual average rainfall of the sub basin is 635 mm. ALIYAR RESERVOIR The Aliyar Reservoir was constructed across the River Aliyar having a Latitude 10 ‘ 29 “ N and Longitude 76 ‘ 58 “ E and it has a gross capacity of 3864 Mcft. Two irrigation canals i.e., Vettaikaranpudur and Pollachi Canals take off from this reservoir. This reservoir is also intended to meet the requirements of the o ld command area in TamilNadu State and 4 Kerala State . The catchment area at the Aliyar Dam is 76 Sq.Miles. Apart from its own catchments, water can be diverted to this reservoir through the Aliyar Feeder canal and the Contour canal from the Parambikulam gr oup of reservoirs. CANALS IN THE SUB BASIN The Aliyar sub basin consists of the following canal systems. 1. Aliyar feeder canal system 2. Sethumadai canal system 3. Vettaikaranpudur canal system 4.

The soil types met with are combination of Inceptisol Alfisol and Entisol. Crops grown in this sub basin area are Coconut, Sugarcane, Banana, Sapota, Mango, Fodder, besides annual crops, such as Paddy, Groundnut, Cotton, Vegetables, Pulses, Fodder, Tomato, Gaurds, Maize as I crop, and Paddy and Ground nut as II crop. WATER BALANCE. TOTAL WATER POTENTIAL Surface Water Potential - 286.80 Mcm Ground Water Potential - 84.90 Mcm Total - 371.70 Mcm TOTAL WATER DEMAND Domestic - 5.40 Mcm Live Stock - 1.20 Mcm Industries - 13.20 Mcm Export - 28.90 Mcm Agricultural - 110.19 Mcm Agri. Research Station - 0.80 Mcm Kerala - 205.32 Mcm Total - 365.01 Mcm Surplus - 6.69 Mcm In spite of the surplus scenario, the reasons for substantial gap are. (i) No technical attention is paid to the application of water to the fields. (ii) Most of the lands are in fragmented condition, consequently, lot of loss of water in field to field irrigation. 6 (iii) Farmers are not aware of modern techniques, and hybrid – varieties. (iv) Lack of efficient farm management. (v) Encroachment on canal banks, and consequently, water is allowed to spread through man made damages prevent inundation to in the upper reaches, (i.e.) the canal sections need redesigning. (vi) The cross masonry works need repairs. Stake holders Meeting In order to improve the system efficiency and productivity of irrigated agriculture, a multi disciplinary approach involving the following departments is attempted. (i) Agriculture (ii) Agriculture Engineering (iii) Horticulture (iv) Agricultural Marketing (v) Tamil Nadu Agricultural University (vi) Fisheries (vii) Animal Husbandry.

  • Guidelines for Small Reservoir Fisheries Management in India
    GUIDELINES FOR SMALL RESERVOIR FISHERIES MANAGEMENT IN INDIA v.v. SUGUNAN & M. SINHA Central Inland Capture Fisheries Research Institute (Indian Council of Agricultur~1 Research) Barrackpore-743101 West Bengal Guidelines for Small Reservoir Fisheries Management V.V. Sugunan & M. Sinha Bull No. 93 February 2000 Central Inland Capture Fisheries Research Institute (Indian Council of Agricultural Research) Barrackpore-743 101 West Bengal Preface Reservoirs constitute the prime inland fishery resource of India by virtue of their vast area and huge production potential. Apart from allowing quick yield I enhancement at minimal capital investment and environmental cost, fisheries i development of reservoirs directly benefits some of the weakest sections of our society. The benefits accrued due to increase in yield and income generation directly contribute to improve the quality of life of fishermen. Unlike the culture systems, where the profit is accrued to a single investor or a small group of investors, in reservoir fisheries, the cake of increased yield is more equitably distributed among a large number of people, albeit as smaller slices. This, being a community- based development process, has a direct bearing on our rural populace. Reservoirs exhibit wide variations in their morphometric limno-chemical and biological characteristics making it difficult to develop a technology package that can be adopted uniformly in the country. Nevertheless, the researches conducted by CIFRI over the last few decades have resulted in many guidelines, based on which the reservoir fishery managers can develop location-specific management norms. Such guidelines are more effective in case of small reservoirs where the relation between management and yield improvement is known to· be more precise compared tv the large impoundments.

In the present study, the Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) a most widely used rainfall based drought index was applied to investigate the temporal characteristics, areal extent and frequency of meteorological drought in the Parambikulam-Aliyar basin, Tamil Nadu. For this purpose, the basin was divided into 97 grid-cells of 5 × 5 km with each grid correspondence to approximately 1.03% of total area. Gridded monthly rainfall was developed by spatial interpolation technique with the help of GIS capabilities at each grid point using monthly rainfall data for the period of 40 years (1972-2011) from 28 rain gauge stations. Regional representative of SPI values calculated from spatially averaged mean areal rainfall were used to characterize the temporal variation of drought. Drought severity-areal extent-frequency (SAF) curves were constructed using gridded SPI values to assess the drought severity and areal extent with respect to return period so as to describe and characterize the spatial and recurrence patterns of drought.

    194Internat. J. Agric. Sci. Vol.3 No.2 June, 2007 : 194-197 An economic analysis of poverty levels in Coimbatore, India T. PONNARASI*, K. SITA DEVI AND M.P. SARAVANAN Dept. of Agricultural Economics, Faculty of Agriculture, Annamalai University, CHIDAMBARAM (T.N.) INDIA ABSTRACT India alone is said to be the home for about 34 per cent of the world’s poor to which Tamil Nadu contributes 35.6 per cent. Poverty has been viewed and measured from different angles by different scientist. Even among the scientists, there exists difference of opinion in specifying a level of minimum income and calorie requirement as a cut off point for poverty line. The different approaches in measuring poverty provided wide variations in the estimation of poverty at a point of time. Further, the concept of poverty would vary widely between two environments. A case with poverty measure in an irrigated and dry region would eventually reveal that poverty profile is sensitive to some aspects of measurement. Hence, the very objective of the paper is to asses the levels of poverty among the rural households in varying irrigation environs. With the assumption that the levels of poverty among the rural households may vary between irrigated and dry tract, the respondents in the rural settings being categorized as agriculturists, agricultural labourers and other workers. The study was conducted in Anaimalai block of Pollachi taluk, which is irrigated area and Sulur block of Palladam taluk, which is dry tract. The results of the study revealed that poverty level studied by Head Count ratio is higher in dry tract than that in irrigated tract also poverty gap among the respondents in dry tract is high as compared to their counter parts in irrigated tract.
