It lies between North latitude of 110c and 15028 and east lougitude of 75047 and 70027. The present district of wayanad was carved out from the parts of Kozhikode and Kannur districts. and it came in to being on 1st november 1980 as the 12th District of Kerala. The name Wayanad is belived to be derived from the word ‘Vayal Nadu’ meaning the land of paddy fields. Most of the reserve forests in the state are in this district. A large percentage of the population are Tribals consisting of various sects like Paniyas, Kurumas, Adiyas, Kurichiyas, Ooralis and Kattunaikens. This back ward district is perhaps, one of the biggest foriegn exchange earnes of the state, thanks to its cash crops like pepper, cardamom, coffee, Tea and other condiments. History The pictorial writings engraved on the walls of caves and evidences excavated from other places prompt that organised human life existed in Wayanad at least ten centuries before christ. Recorded history of this district is available from the 18th cen- tury. In ancient times this land was ruled by the Rajas of Veda Tribe. In later days, wayanad came under the rule of the Pazhassi Raja of Kottayan dynasty. When Hyder Ali became the ruler of Mysore, he invaded wayanad and brought it under his rule. In the days of Tipu, wayanad was restored to the Kottayam royal dynasty. But when Tipu, as a part of Sreerangapattanam Truce, handed over the entire malabar region to British, there started fierce encounters between the British and Kerala Varma Pazhassi Raja of Kottayam. Eventually when Raja killed himself, wayanad fell in to the hands of British. The British authorities opend up the plateau for cultivation of tea and other cash crops. Roads were laid across the dangerous slopes of wayanad from Kozhikode and Thalassery.Then roads were extended to Mysore and Ooty. settlers from all parts of kerala poured. In order to fulfill the aspirations of the people of wayanad for development, North Wayanad (For- merly a part of Kannur district) and South Wayanad (Formerly a part of Kozhikode district) were carved out and joined togother to form the present district of wayanad in 1980. 4 Sailent Features Topography The total geographical area of wayanad in 2126 Sq. kms.

    Summary Report on the Source and Headwaters of the Godavari River, near Tryambakeshwar, India By Subijoy Dutta, P.E. Rivers of the World Foundation (http://rowfoundation.org ) Background: The Godavari originates 80 kilometres (50 mi) from the Arabian Sea in the Western Ghats of central India near Nasik in Maharashtra. It flows for 1,465 kilometres (910 mi), first eastwards across the Deccan Plateau then turns southeast, entering the West Godavari district and East Godavari district of Andhra Pradesh, until it splits into two watercourses that widen into a large river delta and flow into the Bay of Bengal. The Godavari River has a coverage area of 312,812 km2 (120,777 sq mi), which is nearly one-tenth of the area of India and is greater than the areas of England and Ireland put together. The river basin is considered to be divided into 3 sections: upper (source to confluence with Manjira), middle (between confluence of Manjira and Pranhita) and lower (Pranhita confluence to mouth). These put together account for 24.2% of the total basin area. The rivers annual average water inflows are nearly 110 billion cubic metres. Nearly 50% of the water availability is being harnessed. The water allocation from the river among the riparian states are governed by the Godavari Water Disputes Tribunal. The river has highest flood flows in India and experienced recorded flood of 3.6 million cusecs in the year 1986 and annual flood of 1.0 million cusecs is normal.

Nayak Research Scholar, Department of Civil & Water Management, Shri Guru Gobindsinghji Institute of Engineering & Technology, Nanded, Maharastra, India Dr. L. G. Patil Associate Professor, Department of Civil & Water Management, Shri Guru Gobindsinghji Institute of Engineering & Technology, Nanded, Maharastra, India ABSTRACT Godavari is the second largest river in India. It originates from Triambakeswar, Nashik, Maharashtra and finally discharges into the Bay of Bengal near Narasapuram in West Godavari district of Andhra Pradesh. The study covers about 24 km of river starting from Gangapur dam to Dasak village. Fifteen locations were selected for collection of water samples from the river and water samples were analysed for water quality parameters. It was observed that untreated or partially treated sewage alongwith industrial wastewater is entering into the river at twelve prominent locations in the study stretch. This data was used to compute the value of National Sanitation Foundation Water Quality Index(NSFWQI), mostly applicable in USA and India. The results of NSFWQI of Godavari river indicates that its water quality as ‘Good’ (70-90) from Gangapur dam to Someshwar, ‘Bad’ (25-50) from Aanadwalli bridge to Samtanagar and ‘Very bad’ (0-25) at Agartakli STP downstream.
