Chennai, the capital city of Tamil Nadu is located in the South East of India and lies at a mere 6.7m above mean sea level. Chennai is in a vulnerable location due to storm surges as well as tropical cyclones that bring about heavy rains and yearly floods. The 2004 Tsunami greatly affected the coast, and rapid urbanization, accompanied by the reduction in the natural drain capacity of the ground caused by encroachments on marshes, wetlands and other ecologically sensitive and permeable areas has contributed to repeat flood events in the city. Channelized rivers and canals contaminated through the presence of informal settlements and garbage has exasperated the situation. Natural and man-made water infrastructures that include, monsoon water harvesting and storage systems such as the Temple tanks and reservoirs have been polluted, and have fallen into disuse.

  • Marble-Like Chûnnam in the 18Th- and 19Th-Century Madras Presidency
    ARTICLES IJHS | VOL 55.1 | MARCH 2020 Marble-like chûnnam in the 18th- and 19th-century Madras Presidency Anantanarayanan Raman∗ Charles Sturt University, PO Box 883, Orange, NSW 2800, Australia. (Received 25 September 2019; revised 07 November 2019) Abstract Lime (calcined limestone), referred as çûnam and çûṇṇam (‘chûnnam’) was used in the Indian subconti- nent for ages. In the Tamizh country, lime was referred as çûṇṇāmpu. The nature and quality chûnnam used in the Madras presidency are formally recorded in various published reports by the British either living in or visiting Madras from the 18th century. All of them consistently remark that the quality of chûnnam used in building human residences and other buildings was of superior quality than that used for the same purpose elsewhere in India. The limestone for making chûnnam was extracted from (i) inland quarries and (ii) beached seashells. The latter was deemed of superior quality. In the Tamizh country in particular, a few other biological materials were added to lime mortar to achieve quicker and better hardening. In the Madras presidency, builders and bricklayers, used to add jaggery solution, egg albumin, clarified butter, and freshly curdled yoghurt, and talc schist (balapong) to the lime mortar.Many of the contemporary construction engineers and architects are presently loudly talking on the validity and usefulness of using lime mortar, embellished with plant fibres and plant extracts, supplemented by traditional practice of grinding. Key words: Çûṇṇāmbu, Jaggery, John Smith, Kaḍukkāi, Limestone Mortar, Magnesite, Portland Cement, Seashells, Vegetable Material. 1 Introduction mortar instead of a mixer, for better compres- sive strength and long-lasting life.

Steele, Esquire, when he became Deputy Commissioner of the above district, and a copy of it was furnished to him. It was revised a third time in August 1895, and a copy was submitted to H. C. Mules, Esquire, after he took charge of the district, and at my request the revised Note was printed at the Commissioner-in-Sindh’s Press in 1896, and copies of it were supplied to all the District and Divisional officers.
