Vinci & Anjali De ISSN 0970-616 X © 1997 Composed at : The Project Monitoring & Documentation Section CIFRI Barrackpore Published by : The Director, CIFRI Barrackpore Printed ot: Calcutta Laser Graphics Pvt. Ltd. 71, Hari Ghosh Street Calcutta-700 006 Foreword Reservoirs, being an important inland fisheries resource of the country, are a subject of research all over the country. Many research projects on the subject are being pursued by scholars and scientists in various research Institutes, Universities who are in need of information on reservoir fisheries. Planners and policy makers are also in need of information on this resource. A lot of research work has been done in India on reservoirs which are scattered in many journals, bulletins and Departmental publications. Timely availability of literature is an essential prerequisite for any research activity and therefore this Bibliography will come very handy for the researchers working on reservoirs. We shall feel gra tified if this publication of CIFRI will make the literature search on reservoirs a mu_cb easier task for all concerned. Dr. M. Sinha: Director / CIFRI ACKNOWLEDGEMENT The authors wish to acknowledge with deep regards the facilities provided by, Dr. M. Sinha, Director, CIFRI, to carry out this work. Preparation of this bibliography has become possible because of the guidance and personal attention given by Dr. V.V. Sugunan, the renouned expert of reservoir fisheries in India. The authors are also grateful to Ms. Sefali Biswas, Senior Clerk for her untiring help in laser typesetting of this work.

Water is essential for life to flourish in this world. Therefore, the Great Poet Tiruvalluvar says, “ڮϋW mikahJ cybfå‹ ah®ah®¡F« th‹Ï‹W mikahJ xG¡F” (FwŸ 20) (The world cannot exist without water and order in the world can exists only with rain) Tamil Nadu is mainly dependent upon Agriculture for it’s economic growth. Hence, timely and adequate supply of “water” is an important factor. Keeping the above in mind, I the Hon’ble Chief Minister with her vision and intention, to make Tamil Nadu a “numero uno” State in the country with “Peace, Prosperity and Progress” as the guiding principle, has been guiding the Department in the formulation and implementation of various schemes for the development and maintenance of water resources. On the advice, suggestions and with the able guidance of Hon’ble Chief Minister, the Water Resources Department is maintaining the Water Resources Structures such as, Anicuts, Tanks etc., besides rehabilitating and forming the irrigation infrastructure, which are vital for the food production and prosperity of the State.

  • Guidelines for Small Reservoir Fisheries Management in India
    GUIDELINES FOR SMALL RESERVOIR FISHERIES MANAGEMENT IN INDIA v.v. SUGUNAN & M. SINHA Central Inland Capture Fisheries Research Institute (Indian Council of Agricultur~1 Research) Barrackpore-743101 West Bengal Guidelines for Small Reservoir Fisheries Management V.V. Sugunan & M. Sinha Bull No. 93 February 2000 Central Inland Capture Fisheries Research Institute (Indian Council of Agricultural Research) Barrackpore-743 101 West Bengal Preface Reservoirs constitute the prime inland fishery resource of India by virtue of their vast area and huge production potential. Apart from allowing quick yield I enhancement at minimal capital investment and environmental cost, fisheries i development of reservoirs directly benefits some of the weakest sections of our society. The benefits accrued due to increase in yield and income generation directly contribute to improve the quality of life of fishermen. Unlike the culture systems, where the profit is accrued to a single investor or a small group of investors, in reservoir fisheries, the cake of increased yield is more equitably distributed among a large number of people, albeit as smaller slices. This, being a community- based development process, has a direct bearing on our rural populace. Reservoirs exhibit wide variations in their morphometric limno-chemical and biological characteristics making it difficult to develop a technology package that can be adopted uniformly in the country. Nevertheless, the researches conducted by CIFRI over the last few decades have resulted in many guidelines, based on which the reservoir fishery managers can develop location-specific management norms. Such guidelines are more effective in case of small reservoirs where the relation between management and yield improvement is known to· be more precise compared tv the large impoundments.

The demand of water is increasing day by day. So, groundwater resources play a vital role for additional demand by farmers and Industries and domestic usage leads to rapid development of groundwater. About 63% of available groundwater resources are now being used. However, the development is not uniform all over the State, and in certain districts of Tamil Nadu, intensive groundwater development had led to declining water levels, increasing trend of Over Exploited and Critical Firkas, saline water intrusion, etc. ADMINISTRATIVE SET UP The Coimbatore distict is one of the largest district of Tamil Nadu and is situated in the western part of the state. The district has an aerial extent of 7470 sq.km or 747,079 ha, accounting for 5.74 percent of the total geographical area of the Tamil Nadu. The district lies between North latitudes 10⁰ 13’ 00” to 11⁰23’30” and East longitudes 76⁰39’00” to 77⁰30’00”.

The present study was conducted to determine trends in the annual and seasonal total rainfall over Parambikulam Aliyar sub basin of Tamil Nadu using 30 years (1982-2012) monthly rainfall data at eight rain-gauge stations. The procedure is based on the nonparametric Mann-Kendall test for the trend and the nonparametric Sen’s method for the magnitude of the trend. The maximum increase in rainfall was found at Chinnakallar with an annual rainfall of 90.51 mm/year and the maximum reduction in rainfall of -8.60 mm/year was found at Topslip during South West monsoon. Significant positive trend were observed at Weaverly station during North East monsoon rainfall series and significant negative trend has been noticed in the South West monsoon of Topslip. Highlights • Positive trends were observed in most of the rain-gauge stations for all rainfall series except South West monsoon season.
