They even had enclosures of elephants, bears, pythons and foxes. Our little ones beamed with joy as monkeys jumped from one branch of the tree to another. Not just animals, students even encountered some never seen birds like Pheasants, white peacocks, water birds like ducks, and cranes, etc. The little ones got so engrossed in observing their natural habitats and characteristics that convincing each one of them to go back was one heck of a task.

  • Tirupati May Run out of Water in a Month
    Tirupati may run out of water in a month The Hindu, New Delhi, Dated : July 15, 2019 Tirumala-Tirupati is in for a severe shock, as the temple city will run out of water in a month, if the monsoon continues to remain elusive. At present, the denizens receive water in their taps once in three days. With Kalyani dam reaching the dead storage level, the city’s western parts are also supplied the Telugu Ganga water, which is made available for the eastern and southern parts, as well. Dwindling fast Water is currently drawn from the dead storage in Kandaleru reservoir (Nellore district) and pumped into Kailasagiri storage tank near Srikalahasti, from where it is pumped to Tirupati. There is an off-take point near Gudur from where water is also shared to Gudur town, making things worse for Tirupati. Since the Gudur off-take point is nearly 80 km away, laying a full-fledged pipeline to Kailasagiri not only comes at an exorbitant cost, but also does not serve the immediate purpose. Apart from the requirements of the residents, it is the steady flow of pilgrims that necessitates special attention on dedicated water supply to the city. Water storage in projects atop Tirumala hills is also dwindling fast, leaving no option but to pump water from downhill. The demand for allocation of Srisailam water exclusively for Tirupati, as a special case, has been in the air for quite some time, but never taken forward. Unless the government takes a serious view of the situation, Tirupati is likely to be in deep trouble.

  • Hydrogeology and Geochemical Aspects of Groundwater in Tirupati, Chittoor District, Andhrapradesh
    RESEARCH PAPER Engineering Volume : 4 | Issue : 1 | Jan 2014 | ISSN - 2249-555X Hydrogeology and Geochemical Aspects of Groundwater in Tirupati, Chittoor District, Andhrapradesh KEYWORDS physico-chemical parameters, electrical conductivity, total hardness, Hydrogeological Dr.S. Siddiraju Department of Civil Engineering, Siddharth Institute of Engineering and Technology, Narayanavanam Road, Puttur-517583, Chittoor District, Andhra Pradesh, India. ABSTRACT This paper is an attempt to assess the effect of drinking water quality and lithological characteristics of dif- ferent rocks present in the Tirupati Corporation. Ground water is a natural and indispensable resource. The available surface water sources cannot fulfill the needs of an entire city owing to growing population and rapid urbaniza- tion. Nineteen samples were collected from different locations of Tirupati rural and urban areas and analyzed for physico- chemical parameters such as pH, turbidity, Chloride, Electrical conductivity, total hardness, calcium, and Iron. The values of physico-chemical parameters were compared with the world health organization (WHO) water quality standards. The geo- chemical characteristics of ground water samples are correlated with geological, pedological and topological conditions which has a direct bearing upon the accumulation of salts in the study area and degree of treatment before consumption and prevention steps to be taken from contamination. INTRODUCTION to check the quality of present water supply and used the Water is a natural and indispensable natural resource. The remote sensing and GIS to improve the supply system and quality of drinking water is vital concern for mankind since have suggested some measures to reduce the water scarcity it is directly linked with human health.
