The The major objective of this paper to assess Tsunami study of Tsunami inundation are very useful for mitigating inundation mapping and hazard assessment on large scale such losses. Tsunami inundation maps generally are used level 1:50,000 maping. The various datas like topographical to provide information about the Tsunami damage and maps, satellite images and cadastral maps are used for future potential occurrences. Information obtained from tsunami inundation mapping in Kanyakumari district. IRS- conventional geologic hazard maps do not always provide p6 LISS IV Quick bird, Images are used for the collecting information of High Tide Lines (HTL),CRZ buffers, coastal sufficient data for the users needs. The difficulty in census information and land elevation contours were presenting more relevant information on geologic hazard integrated into 1:8000 scale. The DEM maps evidently maps in conventional paper format is due to the limited showed that Colachel, Manakudi and Thengampudur villages Availability.

Where as ask for Additional information, to determine the Kadiapattinam, Agastheeswaram, and Kanyakumari villages relationships between different kinds of information and are situated in upland area.as a result it has extremely less important quantitative Analyses. Furthermore, Tsunami inundation.Tsunami impacts are more damaged in low lying hazards have important temporal attributes.

Most users would find it shoned low elevated coastal areas are more suceptable for very difficult to use the system and retrieve the Tsunami inundation. information needed. This present study focuses on tsunami inundation mapping, demarcating zones or areas affected Keywords---- Tsunami,HTL,LISS IV,CRZ,Inundation by tsunami of different magnitudes or frequencies and probability levels, and specifying the types of permissible developments in these zones. So that whenever tsunami actually occurs the damage can be minimized at least. I. INTRODUCTION Tsunami inundation maps are the essential tools for land use planning in tsunami-prone areas. A tsunami inundation On 26th December 2004,Indian Ocean earthquake map is considered as a preliminary, yet necessary initial accident occurred on 26 December. Indian coastline faced step in all regional development policies. Remote Sensing the most destructed by tsunami. The tsunami was by an can provide information on tsunami-inundated areas for earthquake of magnitude MW 9.3 at 3.316°N, 95.854°E different magnitudes of the tsunami. So that's the extent of off the coast of Sumatra in the Indonesian. In recent years, Tsunami inundation can be related to the tsunami increasing the vulnerability to natural disasters in magnitude.

Inundation coverage for specific flood return periods can be estimated. Using close contour information, inundation depth for giving water level elevation can be estimated which is a vital input for hazard zone mapping. The tsunami event caused destruction to both human life and property in a very short duration of occasion. A number of coasts from Arockiapuram down Colachel endured moderate to severe damages, with loss of large numbers of buildings,damage to crops. Tsunami inundation and tsunami risk mapping was carried out in different parts of the world [1]; [2]; [3]; [4] and [5]. II.

The survey investigated and prioritized the communities’ needs for basic services such as water,education and health care. The survey was a co-operative effort ofthe Tamil Nadu Department ofFisheries, the Coastal Peace and DevelopmentCommittee of the Kottar Diocese, and the Bay ofBengal Programme (FAO/UN). The survey was carried out during the first half of 1998 by two local enumerators in each village selected by the Coastal Peace and Development Committee. All the enumerators were together imparted training for a day by the BOBP on the conduct of interviews, and given questionnaires. The enumerators conducted group interviews with fisherfolk of the 39 communities, both men and women, about the status of local services. This document details the findings of the survey and the comments by the respondents. It is hoped that these are founduseful by various governmentagencies and the church in improving the status of basic services and infrastructure in coastal areas of Kanniyakumari district. The survey, and this report of the survey, are part of the BOBP’s effort in co-operation with the TamilNadu Department of Fisheries to improve fisheries management in Kanniyakumari district.

Water samples were collected in three different seasons. Water samples were analyzed for physicochemical parameters including pH, electrical conductivity, turbidity, total dissolved solids, alkalinity, total - - 2- 2- hardness, dissolved oxygen, BOD, COD and anions analyzed were Ca, Mg, Fe, Mn, No 3 , No 2 , So 4 , Po 4 , F - and Cl -. The data showed variation of the investigated parameters in samples as follows: pH 6.69 – - - - 7.33, electrical conductivity 2573 - 3980micS/cm, F , 0.2 – 0.6mg/L; No 3 , 4 – 10 mg/L; No 2 , 0.70 - 1.22 mg/L; The concentrations of most of the investigated parameters in the water sample from fish industrial area in Chinnamuttom river were exceeded the permissible limit of WHO and CPHEEO water quality guidelines. Keywords: Seasonal variations, Physico-chemical, fish industrial, WHO, CPHEEO. INTRODUCTION The fishing industry includes any industry or activity concerned with taking, culturing, processing, preserving, storing, transporting, marketing or selling fish or fish products.

  • CHAPTER-I! FORMATION of DEVASWOM DEPARTMENT The
    CHAPTER-I! FORMATION OF DEVASWOM DEPARTMENT The year 1811 is important in the history of temple administration in Travancore as it was the year in which the state government assumed direct management of 348 major and 1123 minor devaswoms on the initiative of resident dewan, Col. Munro, with the approval of the sovereign, Rani Gowri Lakshmi Bai (1810- 1815). The reasons stated by Col. Munro for assumption of such temples were many and manifold. The sannad written by him on 3rd Kanni 987 M.E (September 1811) was a clear evidence to substantiate the reasons attributed to his act of assumption of temples'. The Circumstances which lead to the formation of the devaswom department originated from the ugly state of administration of temples by the uralars, the temple trustees, that culminated into the take over of such temples by Col. Munro. He said, "The devaswom affairs in this country have long been the 1 Col.Munro, Anu of Sannad addressed to the Nine Mukathu Sarvathikariakars, 987 M.E(A.D. 1811) 31 subject of my anxiety, because the landed properties of devaswoms are uncultivated and yield no revenue and on account of frauds, there are heavy arrears and defaults in ceremonies in the devaswoms. Frauds and discrepancies are taking place in the expenditure laid down for the devaswoms and in connection with pattuparivattam (cloth for the idol), thiruvabharanam (ornaments for the idol) and temple vessels 2". He also pointed out that the temples were not being thatched or repaired from time to time and they were in a dilapidated condition.

Arts College, Sivagangai – 630 561 _____________________________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT Concentration of zinc (Zn), iron (Fe) and copper (Cu) were determined in muscles, liver and gills of the marine fish species Lethrinus lentjan from Chinnamuttom coast, southern tip of Kanyakumari during February 2010- January 2011 to understand the toxicity of heavy metals. The results were expressed as µg/gm dry weight of tissue. The concentration of zinc varied from 3.71 – 8.35, 26.18 – 27.38 and 9.03 to 10.78, iron content fluctuated from 25.62 – 27.68, 26.13 – 27.63 and 10.65 – 12.95 and the copper content varied from 1.63– 2.97, 4.1 – 7.25 and 2.16 – 2.97µg/gm dry weight of tissue in muscles, liver and gills respectively. A positive correlation were observed between the selected metals in muscles and gills whereas negative correlation were observed between zinc and copper (r = -0.476) and iron and copper (r = - 0.144) in liver of Lethrinus lentjan.
