INTRODUCTION Natural disasters such as earthquakes, tsunami’s, cyclones, landslides, fire, volcanic eruptions are a great threat to mankind and properties. A disaster happens when a hazard impacts on vulnerable population and causes damage, casualties and disruptions. India has been traditionally vulnerable to natural disasters on account of its unique geo climatic conditions. http://iaeme.com/Home/journal/IJCIET 407 [email protected] Kumar N, Dr. N. Balasundaram, Dr. T. Meenambal Nilgiri’s district is a disaster prone area, although the district falls under earthquake prone zone the major natural disasters occurred since 1865 to 2009 is of rainfall induced landslides and floods. The district is located in the north-western part of Tamil Nadu which falls within the western ghats. The district receives an annual average rainfall of 1920 mm. This district isdelineated into 75 macro watersheds drained by two major rivers namely Moyar and Bhavani draining into Bhavani Sagar Dam. The natural disaster occurred in the district has largely contributed to soil loss and henceforth siltation of this dam. This dam irrigates an Ayacut area of 582.87 sq km. In order toprecisely study the impact of natural disasters in terms of soil loss, Kattery watershed codified 7A/75 draining in to Kattery Dam is selected. 2. ABOUT KATTERY WATERSHED The Kattery watershed is one of the biggest valley’s in South India, Located on Ooty- Coonoor highway with an area of 2919 hectares at an MSL of 2100 mts. It is globally positioned at 1122”01 N, 7644”32’ E which mainly comprises of annual and perennial crops. It drains into Kattery reservoir which contributes to a major water resource for cordite factory (Govt. of India Defense Department) the watershed is part of two revenue villages namely Adigarrty and Ketty. The reasons for selecting kattery watershed it’s because of its proximity for stream gauging and various other factors such as agriculture practices different land terrains, its susceptibility for landslips, slides and its drainage pattern, which drains into the kattery dam. This watershed is further delinated into eight micro watersheds as per its natural drainage pattern. This watershed receives rainfall from both southwest monsoon and northeast monsoon. http://iaeme.com/Home/journal/IJCIET 408 [email protected] A Study on Natural Disaster Impacts on Soil in Kattery Watershed Nilgiri District 3. OBJECTIVE The paradigm shift in management of natural resources following a watershed approach requires integrated planning and implementation of works and activities. The Nilgiris have been divided into 75 macro watershed and 176 micro watershed and these have been also priorities into very high to low priority watersheds. The scope of this study is to develop a comprehensive natural disaster management plan, keeping the above views in mind with the following objectives. Prevention of loss to life & property To reduce the soil movement & erosion Reduce the siltation of the reservoir Increase the tank capacity of the reservoir Increase in crop productivity. To conduct a precise study in the watershed and the solutions to be implemented in the district. 4. METHODOLOGY As the objective of this study is to access the impacts of natural disaster such as landslides in terms of soil loss, a suitable watershed which drains into a reservoir is selected. The watershed area was delinated from village cadastral maps and digitized. Various thematic maps such as present land use, drainage, land capability and soil texture was prepared using GIS and remote sensing techniques.Data’s relevant to the study such as rainfall, cropping pattern and sedimentation were collected. Field study was done to ascertain the factors contributing for soil loss apart from natural disasters. Field study regarding the present land use, slope, agricultural practices, physical interpretation of water bodies and impacts due to natural disasters already occurred was done. Stream gauging was done to access the sedimentation in the watershed http://iaeme.com/Home/journal/IJCIET 409 [email protected] Kumar N, Dr. N. Balasundaram, Dr. T. Meenambal 5. PRESENT LAND USE The present land use in this Watershed is as follows, Cultivable area = 944.72 ha Estate land = 1307.55 ha Forest Land = 319.94 ha Road = 43.71 ha Rock = 41.76 ha Settlement = 220.27 ha Water body = 40.39 ha --------------- 2918.33 ha --------------- 6. NATURAL DISASTERS OCCURRED IN THE WATERSHED In the year 1979 landslides and flash floods at ketti had caused major loss for life and property. In the year 2009 a series of landslides had occurred in Achanakal hamlet of ketti village causing major loss of life and property. These natural disasters had contributed to a major soil loss resulting in siltation of the reservoir which was inevitable. Apart from natural disasters induced by rainfall anthropogenic activities has contributed to natural disasters and thereby soil loss. http://iaeme.com/Home/journal/IJCIET 410 [email protected] A Study on Natural Disaster Impacts on Soil in Kattery Watershed Nilgiri District 7. RAINFALL DATA The rainfall in Kattery watershed since 2007 is as follows Year Rainfall Received S.No. (Jan - Dec) (in mm) 1 2007 2921.00 2 2008 2116.00 3 2009 3288.40 4 2010 1744.00 5 2011 1523.60 6 2012 850.80 7 2013 1083.80 8 2014 1671.70 9 2015 1482.60 10 2016 648.70 8. IMPORTANCE OF SOIL Soil is considered to be one of the most important natural resource to all living organisms including mankind. Top soil formation takes more than 100 years by various agents of deterioration. Soil is made up of 45% minerals 25% water 25% air and 5% of organic materials. Soil facilitates Vegetative growth Water conservation Microbial activities Conserves natural resources Healthy soil is the fundamental element for all living being. http://iaeme.com/Home/journal/IJCIET 411 [email protected] Kumar N, Dr. N. Balasundaram, Dr. T. Meenambal 9. EFFECTS OF SOIL EROSION Soil is considered to be one of the important natural resource, hence loss of soil inherits the following Loss of fertile and precious top soil Reduction of crop productivity Sedimentation of aquatic Systems Water pollution Clogging of waterways Destruction of infrastructure Desertification 10. SLOPE STUDY The Slope study in the Watershed reveals the slope is from 5% to 60% average. http://iaeme.com/Home/journal/IJCIET 412 [email protected] A Study on Natural Disaster Impacts on Soil in Kattery Watershed Nilgiri District 11. SEDIMENTATION STUDY Sedimentation studies were carried in the silt monitoring station located at the drainage point of the watershed, to access the actual soil loss. One litre water samples were collected and analyzed in the laboratory, sedimentation rate was interpreted based on the rainfall, runoff and silt weight per litre.

It is a self –targeting programme, intended in increasing outreach to the poor and marginalized sections of the society such as women and helping them towards the cause of financial and economic inclusion in the society. In the rural milieu, it promises employment opportunities for women and their empowerment. While their hardships have been reduced due to developmental projects carried out in rural areas, self-earnings have improved their status to a certain extent. However, women’s decision for participation and their share in MNREGP jobs is hindered by various factors. Apart from some structural problems, inattentiveness and improper implementation of scheme, social attitudes, exploitation and corruption have put question marks over the intents of the programme. At this juncture, the litmus test of the policy will have an impact on the entire process of rural development and women employment opportunities in India. There is excitement as well as disappointment over the implementation on the Act.

  • Fungal Database in Tamil Nadu
    FUNGAL DATABASE IN TAMIL NADU 1. INTRODUCTION The first Indian fungus to be recorded was from Tranqeubar, (Tarangambadi) in the erstwhile Madras State (Tamil Nadu) . A fungus collected by the Danish Missonary, Koenig was sent by him to Linnaeus who named it Lycoperdon pistillaris. This fungus is now known as Podaxis pistillaris (earliar known as Podaxon pistillaris). Subsequently several records of fungi from Tamil Nadu were made and these were described mostly by the British Mycologists Berkely, Cooke and Massee. With the appointment of E. J. Butler as Cryptogamic Botanist to the Government of India more systematic surveys of Indian fungal floras were initated . However, large scale collections of fungi in Tamil Nadu were made only after the establishment of the Mycology section at the Agricultural college and Research Institute, Coimbatore (Presently Tamil Nadu Agricultural University) with William Mc Rae as Government Mycologist. Mc Rae and his staff made many collections of Indian fungi. A large number of these fungi were studied by Butler and the Sydows, H and P., and described or recorded in the series of papers entitled " Fungi India Orientalis" published in the latter’s journal. In laters year many mycologists notably T.S. Ramakrishnan and his colleagues K. Ramakrishnan and N.V. Sundaram have added substantially to our knowledge of fungi from Tamil Nadu through their series of papers "Additions to fungi of Madras". They mainly concentrated on fungi causing diseases in plants. During this period a school of Mycology was established in the University of Madras under the leadership of C.V. Subramanian. Over a Period of four decades he and his students have contributed much to the knowledge of fungi from Tamil Nadu.
