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.

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.
