  • 2.9. Irrigation, Command Area Development and Flood Control Water Is a Serious Limiting Factor Affecting Production and Productivity in Tamil Nadu
    2.9. Irrigation, Command Area Development and Flood Control Water is a serious limiting factor affecting production and productivity in Tamil Nadu. The available surface water potential has been almost fully exploited. Tamil Nadu covers 4% of the geographical area (13.01 Mha) and caters to 7% of the population of the country (62 million people living in 17 river basins). There are about 76 Major reservoirs, 39 thousand tanks, and 3.7 million wells, which irrigate about 2.6 million hectares out of 5.5 million hectares of crop land. More than 95% of the surface water potential and 80% of groundwater potential have been put into use. The total water potential of the state including ground water is 47230 MCM (1668 TMC). The total surface water potential of the state is 24,160 MCM (853 TMC) including the contribution (7391 MCM or 261 TMC) from the neighbouring states, viz., Kerala, Karnataka and Andhra. The river basin planning for optimum utilization of water resources is particularly important for water starved Tamil Nadu State. Since a large percentage of consumptive use is through irrigation, irrigation water management is to be given the top priority. This task requires a strong institutional arrangement for effective implementation of the policies for better water management and participatory approach, which is being strongly advocated by the water experts. Out of the total geographical area of 130 lakh hectares in the State, the net area sown is about 52.43 lakh hectares of which about 29.19 lakh hectares (55.67%) gets irrigation facilities out of which surface water through canals accounts for 8.0 lakh hectares, tanks accounts for 5.75 lakh hectares, and ground water through wells, tube wells accounts for 11.63 lakh hectares.

  • Macro Drainage System in Cma
    Chapter X MACRO DRAINAGE SYSTEM IN CMA Introduction: CMA lies along the east coast of Southern India and is traversed by three major rivers namely Kosasthalaiyar River, Cooum River and Adyar River. The climate of the region is dominated by the monsoons, which are caused by thermal contrast between land and sea. Monsoon climates are characterised by clearly marked seasons with specific types of wind and weather. The South West monsoon dominates weather patterns in Tamilnadu from July –September and is characterised by periods of sultry wet weather. Rain shadow effects limit rainfall in the east coast in Tamilnadu and it is light or intermittent during this season. This period is followed by North-East Monsoon, which brings cool cloudy weather, relatively free of rain over most of the monsoon- dominated land (India). The exception is South-East-India including Tamilnadu where about 78% of the annual rainfall occurs at this time. The start of the heavy rains usually falls in October lasting up to December. Most of the rainfall is associated with clear synoptic systems of depressions and cyclones with night time rainfall most common. In CMA between October and December most of the rainfall occurs and it is rare between January and April. 10.02 River Nagari which has a large catchment area in the Chittoor District (Andhra Pradesh) region and the Nandi River, which has catchment area in the Vellore District, join near Kanakamma Chattiram and enter Poondi Reservoir. Kosasthalaiyar River, which has its origin near Kaveripakkam and has catchment area in North Arcot District, has a branch near Kesavaram Anicut and flows to the city as Cooum River and the main Kosasthalaiyar river flows to Poondi reservoir.
