  • Chapter-Ill Analysis of River Longitudinal Profiles 121
    120 Chapter-Ill Analysis of river longitudinal profiles 121 Chapter III ANALYSIS OF RIVER LONGITUDINAL PROFILES 3.1. Introduction: Rivers are the most sensitive and dynamic elements of the landscape. The shape of the longitudinal profile of a river is result of the complex interplay between lithology, structure, tectonics, climate and catchment hydrology. In a large number of studies, the river longitudinal profiles have been investigated in order to identify the areas experiencing tectonic deformation and uplift (Begin, 1975; Seeber and Gornitz, 1983; Rice and Church, 2001; Chen et al., 2006; Lee and Tsai, 2009; Whittaker, 2012 and the references therein). In addition to this, the influence of climate and hydrological processes on the longitudinal profiles of the rivers has been investigated (Roe et al., 2002; Zaprowski et al., 2005). Other studies concerned with the long profile analysis include understanding of the role of lithology (Begin, 1975; Bishop et al., 1985; Goldrick and Bishop, 1995), distribution of stream power (Sklar and Dietrich, 1998; Snyder et al., 2000), identification of knick zones (Perez-Pena et al., 2009; Pederson and Tressler, 2012) and description of long profile shape (Shepherd, 1985; Rice and Church, 2001). In this chapter, the characteristics of the longitudinal profiles of the rivers of the Kaveri, Palar and Ponnaiyar Basins and their tributaries are described and an attempt is made to understand whether there is any effect of tectonics on their long profiles as suggested by Valdiya (2001). 3.2. Methodology: In all, the longitudinal profiles of 21 major tributaries of the Kaveri River, 8 tributaries of the Palar and 6 tributaries of the Ponnaiyar River, as well as the profiles of the main channels of the Kaveri, Palar and Ponnaiyar Rivers were extracted and analysed in ArcGIS.

  • Probable Agricultural Biodiversity Heritage Sites in India
    Full-length paper Asian Agri-History Vol. 17, No. 4, 2013 (353–376) 353 Probable Agricultural Biodiversity Heritage Sites in India. XVIII. The Cauvery Region Anurudh K Singh H.No. 2924, Sector-23, Gurgaon 122017, Haryana, India (email: [email protected]) Abstract The region drained by the Cauvery (Kaveri) river, particularly the delta area, falling in the state of Tamil Nadu, is an agriculturally important region where agriculture has been practiced from ancient times involving the majority of the local tribes and communities. The delta area of the river has been described as one of the most fertile regions of the country, often referred as the ‘Garden of South India’. Similarly, the river Cauvery is called the ‘Ganges of the South’. The region is a unique example of the knowledge and skills practiced by the local communities in river and water management with the construction of a series of dams for fl ood control, and the establishment of a network of irrigation systems to facilitate round- the-year highly productive cultivation of rice and other crops. Also, the region has developed internationally recognized sustainable systems with a conservational approach towards livestock rearing in semi-arid areas and fi shing in the coastal areas of the region. In the process of these developments, the local tribes and communities have evolved and conserved a wide range of genetic diversity in drought-tolerant crops like minor millets and water-loving crops like rice that has been used internationally. In recognition of these contributions, the region is being proposed as another National Agricultural Biodiversity Heritage Site based on indices used for the identifi cation of such sites.

STATE OF THE ECONOMY A common thread running through this document is that development is a process of cumulative change that results from forces that raise productivity in each sector of the economy. Capital accumulation is to be interpreted to include productivity – enhancing investment in human resources. Human investment deserves particular consideration in the context of inclusive economic growth. Educational programmes are important not only as a matter of growth policy but also for their important bearing on how the gains from growth will be distributed both among income groups and among various sectors of the economy. 1.1. State Income: The State economy had reached a higher growth plane – it registered a growth rate of 10.36 during 2009-10 and 9.33 during 2010-11 at constant prices. In absolute terms it was ` 353238/- crore and ` 387973/- crore respectively. During the period 2005-06 to 2010-11, the average annual growth in GSDP was at 10.06 per cent – primary sector 4.87 per cent, secondary sector 10.07 per cent and tertiary sector 11.11 per cent. During the 11th Five Year Plan, the overall growth achieved was at 7.80 per cent. Primary sector recorded a meagre 1.08 per cent, secondary sector 8.07 per cent and tertiary sector registered 9.01 per cent. The State metamorphosed from being primary-producing into a predominant service sector. The share of primary sector dwindled from 43.51 per cent during 1960-61 to 8.81 during 2010-11.

    ENVIRONMENT AND FORESTS DEPARTMENT POLICY NOTE ON FOREST AND ENVIRONMENT DEPARTMENT 2004-2005 DEMAND NO. 14 R. VAITHILINGAM MINISTER FOR FOREST AND ENVIRONMENT 1 ENVIRONMENT AND FOREST DEPARTMENT POLICY NOTE INTRODUCTION 1.1. The life and well being of a nation depends on its sustainable development. It is a process of social and economic betterment that satisfies the needs and values of all interest groups without foreclosing future options. To this end, we must ensure that the demand on the environment from which we derive our sustenance, does not exceed its carrying capacity for the present as well as future generations. This conservation is pre-requisite for sustainable development. 1.2. We have a great tradition of environmental conservation which taught us to respect nature and to take cognizance of the fact that all forms of life - human, animal and plant - are closely interlinked and that disturbance in one gives rise to an imbalance in other’s. Even in modern times, as is evident in our constitutional provisions and environmental legislation and planning objectives, conscious efforts have been made for maintaining environmental security along with developmental advances. The Indian Constitution in the Section on Directive Principles of State Policy assigns duties for the State and all citizens through Article 48 A and Article 51 A(g) which state that the “State shall endeavour to protect and improve the environment and to safeguard the forests and wildlife in the country” and “to protect and improve the natural environment including forests, lakes and rivers and wildlife, and to have compassion for the living creatures”.
