    1 Issues Pertaining to Peninsular Rivers Wing Interstate Matters: (A) Mullaperiyar Dam Issue 1. on 29-10-1886, a Lease In

    Issues pertaining to Peninsular Rivers wing i. Interstate matters: (a) Mullaperiyar Dam Issue 1. On 29‐10‐1886, a lease indenture for 999 years was made between Maharaja of Travancore and Secretary of State for India for Periyar irrigation works. By another agreement in 1970, Tamil Nadu was permitted to generate power also. The Mullaperiyar Dam was constructed during 1887‐1895. Its full reservoir level is 152 ft and it provides water through a tunnel to Vaigai basin in Tamil Nadu for irrigation benefits in 68558 ha area. 2. In 1979, reports appeared in Kerala Press about damage to Periyar Dam. On 25th November, 1979 Chairman, CWC held meeting with the officers of Irrigation and Electricity, Deptt. of Kerala and PWD of Tamil Nadu and some emergency medium term measures and long‐term measures for strengthening of Periyar Dam were decided. A second meeting under the Chairmanship of Chairman, CWC was held on 29th April 1980 and it was opined that after the completion of emergency and medium term measures, the water level in the reservoir can be raised up to 145 ft. 3. The matter became sub‐judice with several petitions. On the directions of the Supreme Court in its order dated 28.4.2000, Minister (WR) convened the Inter‐State meeting on 19.5.2000 and as decided in the meeting, an Expert Committee under Member (D&R), CWC with representatives from both States was constituted in June 2000 to study the safety of the dam. The Committee in its report of March, 2001 opined that with the strengthening measures implemented, the water level can be raised from 136 ft.

As a known fact, state is endowed with all resources both surface and ground water resources. The proposed capital region is locating almost midst of the state and well opted for the establishment of capital. Amaravathi is climatologically good and geologically strong. All the previous conditions like cyclone frequency, flood occurrence, and seismotectonic activities in the past were taken into considerations. But more conscious is needed while developing Amaravathi as capital. Keywords: Lithology, Lineaments, Geomorphology, Natural Disasters and Social Problems INTRODUCTION Andhra Pradesh is one of the best agrarian states in India. Physiographically it is situated with plateau, hills and plain regions. Plateau region is best for mineral resources, hills are covered with forest resources and sources for streams and small rivulets and plains are rich with agricultural yields.

    Need to Ensure Adequate Availability of Water in Palar River in Tamil Nadu and Also Expedite Pennayar - Palar Link Canal Project

    an> Title: Need to ensure adequate availability of water in Palar River in Tamil Nadu and also expedite Pennayar - Palar Link Canal Project. SHRI B. SENGUTTUVAN (VELLORE): River Palar, an inter-State river, originating in Karnataka, runs to a distance of 53 kms in Karnataka, 30 kms in Andhra Pradesh and 222 kms in Tamil Nadu. The river is covered under Schedule-A of the Madras-Mysore Agreement. As per Clause II of Agreement upstream State cannot construct any dam or reservoir without consent of the downstream State. During the monsoons, where adequate rainfall is received, the waters of the river replenish more than one thousand tanks, ponds and lakes on either side of its banks, which are the sources of water of drinking and irrigation in Vellore and Kancheepuram Districts. The Palar ayacut supports cultivation of roughly 4.2 lakh acres of lands. However, due to the construction of Check-dams across the river by neighbouring States of Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh, the water flow in the river has completely ceased leaving the land patched, dry and drought-stricken. To compound the problems, the Andhra Pradesh Government is raising the height of check dam in Perumpallam village on the very border of Tamil Nadu State to a height of 12 feet and more with a view to converting it into a reservoir. This would seriously impede water flow in the Palar and deprive Tamil Nadu of the much needed Palar water. In order to protect the ayacutdars, the inter-state Palar River has to be nationalised removing all dams and barriers constructed across it and the 52 km long Pennayar-Palar Link Canal Project has to be implemented expeditiously.

The link canal takes off from the right flank of Somasila dam with a full supply level of 95.420 m. and runs parallel on right side of the Kandaleru flood flow canal, upto RD 10 km. The canal generally runs in south direction till it out-falls into Grand Anicut across Cauvery River at RD 529.190 km. The major rivers that would be crossed by the canal are Swarnamukhi, Arani Ar, Nagari, Palar, Cheyyar, Ponnaiyar, and Vellar. The districts that would be benefited by the link canal through enroute irrigation are Nellore, Chittoor of Andhra Pradesh state and Tiruvallur, Kancheepuram, Vellore, Tiruvannamalai, Villupuram, Cuddalore districts of Tamil Nadu state and Pondicherry (U.T).

    Assessment of Fluoride Concentration in Palar River in Kanchipuram District, Tamil Nadu, India R

    Research Article Assessment of fluoride concentration in Palar River in Kanchipuram district, Tamil Nadu, India R. Pradeep Kumar1*, R. Priya1, Lakshmi Thangavelu2 ABSTRACT Back ground: River Palar is one of the most contaminated rivers of India due to various industries. Aim:To study the fluoride concentration in the Pallar river. Four river water samples were collected during the pre-monsoon season spanning over June 2015. Methodology: Fluoride levels were analyzed by standardized analytical method by the Chief Water Analyst, State Level Water Testing Laboratory, Tamil Nadu Water Supply and Drainage Board, Government of Tamil Nadu, Chennai (ISO 9001–2000 - Certified). Result: In the present study, fluoride contents in all samples ranged between 0.18 and 0.22 mg/l, which are less than the optimum range of 1.5 mg/l, as recommended by the WHO. KEY WORDS: Fluoride, Palar River, Water quality INTRODUCTION of the global tanning factories are located in this state. Out of this, 449 units are located in the Vellore River water resources are highly essential for various district, particularly in the Palar basin (Upper Palar). domestic, agricultural, and industrial purposes. Hence, The impact of tannery wastewater disposal leads to the consumption rate is increasing day by day in the environmental as well as social disharmony of the areas where surface water sources are not enough to society and also acts as a major industrial pollution meet the demands. In recent decades, water pollution source that the country faces today. Even though has been considered as an important agenda for this problem persists for a long time, it has attracted various research activities due to its significant role in serious attention only in recent time.
