Copy [Compatibility Mode] KERALA FLOODS 2018 -A TIME LINE Beginning in July 2018, severe floods affected the south Indian state of Kerala, dworst flooding in Kerala in nearly a century. Over 483 people died, 14 are missing. At least a million people were evacuated, mainly from Chengannur, Pandanad, Edanad, Aranmula, Kozhencherry, Ayiroor, Ranni, Pandalam, Kuttanad, Aluva, and Chalakudy. All 14 districts of the state were placed on red alert. According to the Kerala government, one-sixth of the total population of Kerala had been directly affected by the floods and related incidents. The Indian government had declared it a Level 3 Calamity or “calamity of a severe nature” .It is the worst flood in Kerala after the great ue to unusually high rainfall during the monsoon season. It was the flood of 99 that happened in 1924. Thirty-five out of the fifty-four dams within the state were opened for the first time in history. All five overflow gates of the Idukki Dam were opened at the same time, for the first time in 26 years. Heavy rains in Wayanad and Idukki have caused severe landslides and have left the hilly districts isolated. Causes .Rainfall of high intensity with long duration this season and its frequency caused flooding . .Unregulated construction & management of Dams are one of the causes that lead to floods in Kerala . .Deforestation of hill areas causes sudden rising of water as cutting of trees reduces the water carrying/storing capacity of the ground. .Haphazard construction on hills, failure of embankments to check water flow when heavy rainfall occurs, aggravates the flood problem. Loosening of soils due to mining, quarrying . Worst Affected Areas The worst affected areas of the state were Wayanad, Pathanamthitta, Ernakulam, Thrissur, Kochi, Malappuram, Kozhikode, Kannur, Palakkad, Alappuzha districts SOME KEY EVENTS August 8 •Thiruvananthapuram airport geared up, as Cochin International airport shut down •Kerala received rainfall of 310mm over 24 hours. •Death Toll: 29 •Shutters of Neyyar dam rose to 5 inches from 4. •People in Relief Camps: 53501 •Chalakuddy river overflowed. •Central government team visited flood-hit regions of August 11 Kuttanad, Upper Kuttanad. •Crop loan moratorium of one year announced for •Idukki dam level reached 2400.18 feet. farmers of Kuttanad. •Banasura Sagar dam opened. •Over 20 landslides reported in Kannur district. •Upper Kuttanad experienced heavy downpour.

    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.

  • Hydro Electric Power Dams in Kerala and Environmental Consequences from Socio-Economic Perspectives
    [VOLUME 5 I ISSUE 3 I JULY – SEPT 2018] e ISSN 2348 –1269, Print ISSN 2349-5138 http://ijrar.com/ Cosmos Impact Factor 4.236 Hydro Electric Power Dams in Kerala and Environmental Consequences from Socio-Economic Perspectives. Liji Samuel* & Dr. Prasad A. K.** *Research Scholar, Department of Economics, University of Kerala Kariavattom Campus P.O., Thiruvananthapuram. **Associate Professor, Department of Economics, University of Kerala Kariavattom Campus P.O., Thiruvananthapuram. Received: June 25, 2018 Accepted: August 11, 2018 ABSTRACT Energy has been a key instrument in the development scenario of mankind. Energy resources are obtained from environmental resources, and used in different economic sectors in carrying out various activities. Production of energy directly depletes the environmental resources, and indirectly pollutes the biosphere. In Kerala, electricity is mainly produced from hydelsources. Sometimeshydroelectric dams cause flash flood and landslides. This paper attempts to analyse the social and environmental consequences of hydroelectric dams in Kerala Keywords: dams, hydroelectricity, environment Introduction Electric power industry has grown, since its origin around hundred years ago, into one of the most important sectors of our economy. It provides infrastructure for economic life, and it is a basic and essential overhead capital for economic development. It would be impossible to plan production and marketing process in the industrial or agricultural sectors without the availability of reliable and flexible energy resources in the form of electricity. Indeed, electricity is a universally accepted yardstick to measure the level of economic development of a country. Higher the level of electricity consumption, higher would be the percapitaGDP. In Kerala, electricity production mainly depends upon hydel resources.One of the peculiar aspects of the State is the network of river system originating from the Western Ghats, although majority of them are short rapid ones with low discharges.
