  • Technical Report on Design and Execution of Desalination Plants in Minicoy and Agatti, UT Lakshadweep
    Technical Report on Design and Execution of Desalination Plants in Minicoy and Agatti, UT Lakshadweep Sea water desalination is attaining increasing attention of present day policy makers, especially with the growing demands that urbanization, population explosion, irregular rainfall and ground water contamination on the fragile natural resources. ‘Low Temperature Thermal Desalination’ (LTTD) is one process that uses the availability of a temperature gradient between two water bodies, such as the Ocean Thermal Gradient that describes temperature variation across the depth of the oceans, to obtain fresh water. The available thermal gradient between warmer surface water and colder deep seawater is utilized by flash evaporating the warm water at low temperatures and condensing the resultant vapour with cold water. Earth System Science Organization, Ministry of Earth Sciences, Government of India, Through National Institute of Ocean Technology (ESSO-NIOT), India, has successfully demonstrated the 100 m3/day capacity land based desalination plant in the remote islands of Agatti and Minicoy of UT Lakshadweep in 2011 following the initial success of similar capacity plant at Kavaratti island.

The temperature gradient of 16oC between the deep sea cold water at 12oC and the warm surface sea water at about 28oC is utilized in the LTTD process as shown Fig.

India 2 Master Degree Student, Alva’s College of Physical Education, Moodbidri, Dakshina Kannada, Karnataka, India Abstract The present study try to focus on the development of football in Lakshadweep. Lakshadweep, formerly known as the Laccadive, Minicoy and Aminidivi Islands is a group of islands in the Laccadive Sea, 200 to 440 km (120 to 270 mi) off the southwestern coast of India. The Lakshadweep football team is an Indian football team which represents the union territory of Lakshadweep, India. Football is very common in Lakshadweep, the key restriction for promoting local talented football players is the lack of adequate international standard sports infrastructure facilities such as land, stadium, and coach availability. Besides that all the outdoor sports activities especially football will be stopped during the monsoon season. The Lakshadweep Administration, in partnership with the Lakshadweep Football Association (LFA) and the State Sports Council, is developing steps to resolve the huddles to promote football by setting up a SAI Center in Lakshadweep with recruitment of Coaches to promote football exclusively and bring it to the national and international level. Keywords: Lakshadweep, football, facilities etc Introduction 4,200 km2 (1,600 sq mi), the territorial waters area Football is a team sports which involves kicking a ball to 20,000 km2 (7,700 sq mi) and the exclusive economic score a goal, to varying degrees.

Physical data and morphological features of coral reef fiom Kadmat Island (the numbers in parenthesis refer to an area in km2). DISTRIBUTION AND DIVERSITY OF MARINE FLORA IN CORAL REEF ECOSYSTEMS OF KADMAT ISLAND IN LAKSHADWEEP ARCHIPELAGO, ARABIAN SEA, INDIA. VIJAY V. DESAI ', DEEPALI S. KOMARPANT and TANAJI G. JAGTAP ABSTRACT The coral reef of Kadmat Island of Lakshadweep was assessed for its biological components along with relevant hydrological characteristics. Corals were represented by 12 species, the most dominant being Acropora and Porites. The distribution of coral was mainly confined to the reef slope and fore reef; however, the cover was very poor except for a few patches on the fore reef towards northwest (< 10%). The lagoon and reef flats were almost devoid of corals. The low counts (0-80x10~ cells I-') and poor composition (11 spp.) of phytoplanktons could be due to oligotrophic waters around the island. The high contents of dissolved oxygen (DO) might be due to photosynthetic activities of macrophytes in the lagoon. Seagrass meadow occupied only 0.14 km2 area of the lagoon leaving 98% of it barren. It was more prominent in the mid- and landward region of the lagoon due to fine and well-sorted thick sediment. Seagrass flora was comprised of two species and was dominated by Cymodocea rotundata.

    ADMINISTRATION OF THE UNION TERRITORY OF LAKSHADWEEP PRESENTATION OF SHRI J. K.DADOO, IAS ADMINISTRATOR 55TH NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT COUNCIL MEETING AT NEW DELHI ON 24TH JULY, 2010 Hon’ble Prime Minister, Deputy Chairman of Planning Commission, Members of National Development Council, Union Ministers, Chief Ministers and distinguished dignitaries: It is a matter of privilege for me to participate in the deliberations of the 55th National Development Council (NDC) convened by our Hon’ble Prime Minister to consider and approve the Mid-Term Appraisal of 11th Five Year Plan inter-alia with other high focus issues. I represent the U.T. of Lakshadweep which is a group of 36 Coral Islands with the total land area of just 32 Sq. kms. 10 Islands are inhabited and these Islands are at a distance of about 300 to 450 kms. from mainland, Kochi. From pin to plane, everything comes from the mainland and this makes these Islands the remotest and the most difficult to live in. Basic infrastructure is limited and yet nearly 70,000 people inhabit these 10 Islands. Shipping is the backbone and Mangalore is the food lifeline while Calicut is the fuel lifeline. All other provisions are supplied from Kochi. In the above circumstances, regular flights from Kochi, Mangalore and Calicut to Agatti, the only Airport are imperative. At least 4 to 5 all weather ships which can ensure smooth and regular transportation of goods and passengers in the 5 months of the monsoon are equally paramount. With rising aspirations of the people, a fast speed vessel which can complete the journey between mainland and the Islands in about 6 hours, and provide a Rajdhani train kind of link would be extremely beneficial for the Islands.
