  • Athirapally Hydel Electric Project
    Athirapally Hydel Electric Project drishtiias.com/printpdf/athirapally-hydel-electric-project Why in News Recently, the Kerala government has approved the proposed Athirapally Hydro Electric Project (AHEP) on the Chalakudy river in Thrissur district of the state. There are already five dams for power and one for irrigation and it will be the seventh along the 145 km course of the Chalakudy river. Chalakudy River It originates in the Anamalai region of Tamil Nadu and is joined by its major tributaries Parambikulam, Kuriyarkutti, Sholayar, Karapara and Anakayam in Kerala. The river flows through Palakkad, Thrissur and Ernakulam districts of Kerala. It is the 4th longest river in Kerala and one of very few rivers of Kerala, which is having relics of riparian vegetation in substantial level. A riparian zone is the interface between land and a river or stream. Plant habitats and communities along the river margins and banks are called riparian vegetation, characterized by hydrophilic plants. It is the richest river in fish diversity perhaps in India as it contains 85 species of freshwater fishes out of the 152 species known from Kerala only. The famous waterfalls, Athirappilly Falls and Vazhachal Falls, are situated on this river. It merges with the Periyar River near Puthenvelikkara in Ernakulam district. Key Points 1/3 The total installed capacity of AHEP is 163 MW and the project is supposed to make use of the tail end water coming out of the existing Poringalkuthu Hydro Electric Project that is constructed across the Chalakudy river. AHEP envisages diverting water from the Poringalkuthu project as well as from its own catchment of 26 sq km.

  • Tourism Impact Assessment in Forested Land Using Geo Informatics
    International Journal of Scientific Engineering and Research (IJSER) ISSN (Online): 2347-3878 (UGC Approved, Sr. No. 48096) Index Copernicus Value (2015): 62.86 | Impact Factor (2015): 3.791 Tourism Impact Assessment in Forested Land Using Geo Informatics Subin K. Jose*, Radhulakshmi V S Christ College (Autonomous), Thrissur, Kerala, India Abstract: The environment is being increasingly recognized as a key factor in tourism. The main purpose of tourism activities is the deployment of recreational facilities in an area with tourism potential. Tourism in Athirappilly is the largest industry, that providing several benefits to government and rural peoples. Tourism emergence, which lead naturally or consciously to the degradation of tourist heritage are represented by the natural disturbance of the surface areas of tourist interest and forest cover. The study focused on the impacts of tourism on forest area in Athirappilly region by comparing Landsat images from 1985 and 2012.The work was mapping the affected areas of forest as a result of tourism introduction based on physical characteristics. These are landscape or naturalness (land use/cover), topography (slope, drainage) and settlement size. At First, a list of tourism related criteria were developed. In present study raster based weightage method was carried out for the preparation of tourism disturbance map. GIS based techniques were used to measure the ranking of different criteria according those with the best potential for the study data utilized include survey of India to geographic maps. Subsequently, the forest disturbance map was created based on the combination of criteria and factors with their respective weights. The disturbed area of forest was classified as very high, high, moderate and low.

  • Indigenous Peoples Plan
    Indigenous Peoples Plan Background Information on Kadars Kadars, one of the most primitive tribal groups of Kerala, live in the Chalakudy river basin around areas of Vazhachal, Chalakudi, Parambikulam and Indira Gandhi Wildlife Sanctuary. Traditionally they were hunter gatherers and lived in clan groups inside the forest. The total population of Kadars is around 1500-1700. The language that they speak is a combination of Tamil and Malayalam but the stronger linguistic influence is dependent on the area or the state they live in. The community was settled into colonies by the Forest department around 50 years back. A study on the riparian vegetation along the middle and lower zones of the Chalakkudy river by Amitha Bachhan gives the status of Kadars as the forest dwelling communities, living by gathering food from the forests and by fishing from the river. They usually live in huts made by reeds and bamboos and do not have an aptitude for agriculture. According to the 1981 census there were 1503 Kadars (774 males and 729 females) in the state. Kadars live in about 15 settlements in the Parambikulam forest area of Palakkad district and Athirappilly -- Sholayar region of Thrissur district. Ironically major settlements of Kadar tribes were rehabilitated/relocated to these settlements during the time of powerhouse construction. Two are permanent settlements. The larger one is the Vazhachal settlement very near to the waterfalls and office of the Forest Department. Another is the Pokalappara settlement near Pokalappara Forest Range office. The third one is located just downstream of the Poringalkuthu dam. Vazhachal and Pokalappara settlements are permanent settlements and the dam site colony consists of few families resettled from the Pokalappara colony.
