In keeping with its position as one of the most socially and economically progressive states in the country, the State is committed to the objective of achieving economic growth • within a framework of social justice. 1.2 Tenth Plan Targets and Achievements 1.2.1 The Tenth Plan aims at achieving economic growth of 8% per annum at constant prices. However, three consecutive years of drought pulled down the growth rate of agriculture and allied sectors. There was a steep fall in the growth of Agriculture and Allied activities by (-) 23.71% in 2002-03. There was only a marginal improvement in 2003-04, when the growth was (-) 2.76%. The situation improved in 2004-05 with a growth of 15.88%. The average growth rate in the first three years of the Tenth Plan period was 5.1% at constant prices. In fact, the GSDP grew at 8.04%, 8.61% and 12.15% at cun-ent prices and 3.03%, 3.55% and 8.73% at constant prices during 2002-03 R.E., 2003-04 Q.E. and 2004-05 A.E respectively. 1.2.2 An investment requirement at Rs. 2,62,502 crore was projected for the Tenth Plan, with Rs. 40,003 crore as the State Sector outlay, Rs. 48,000 crore as Central Sector outlay and the remaining Rs. 1,74,502 crore was to be met from Private and Foreign Direct Investments. Only 75% of Rs.40,000 crore of State Sector outlay, i.e. Rs.29852.66 crore, has been budgeted during the period from 2002-03 to 2005-06. 1.2.3 The per capita income for the State in the year 2001-02 was Rs. 12484 at 1993-94 prices. Thereafter, it increased steadily to Rs. 12696 in 2002-03, to Rs.12976 in 2003-04 (Q.E.) and to Rs.13999 in 2004-05 (A.E.) registering an increased growth of 1.7%, 2.21% and 7.88% respectively in comparison with the previous year. 1.2.4 The Tenth Plan envisaged widening of the tax-base and improvement in tax collections. The Government of Tamil Nadu’s own tax revenue in 2004-05 was Rs.19357.04 crore, an increase of 21.40% over 2003-04. The own tax revenue for the year 2005-06 up to February’06 was Rs.20893.00 crore. 1.2.5 It was aimed to have universalisation of education until Class V by the year 2005, with special emphasis on education for girls and disadvantaged groups, 100% retention of all enrolled children till the age of 14 by 2007 and 100% access to a school within a kilometer by 2007. While attempting to raise ‘ the literacy rate'from* 73.5% in 200*1 fo 80%'in'2007, (he State has ihcreasfed'the Net Enrolment Rate (NER), decreased the drop out rates and enrolled out of school children in formal schools by effectively implementing schemes like the Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan. An increase of 5.38% in the NER for all children has been achieved in 2004-05, over the 93% NER in 2002-03, The gender ratio for NER is nearing 1.00. The primary class dropout rate has come down to 6% in the year 2004-05. Likewise, the dropout rate in upper primary schools has been reduced to 8.64% in the year 2004-05. 1112 Elementary Schools, 2106 Middle Schools, 295 High Schools and 335 Higher Secondary Schools are available in the State. 1.2.6 The gender gap and disparities in wages, health, education is to be reduced by 50% by 2007. Considering the Gender Development Index (GDI) as an indicator in this direction, the GDI (2001) for Tamil Nadu is 0.654 as against the all-India value of 0.560 (HDR 2002). As per the Sample Registration System (SRS) 2004, the rural Infant Mortality Rate (IMR) for females is 44 per 1000 live births, whereas it is 30 per 1000 live births in urban areas. For males, the rural and urban IMRs are 46 and 39 per thousand live births respectively. With regard to the Crude Death Rate (CDR), it is 6.4 for females, against 7.6 for males. The sex ratio in Tamil Nadu in 2001 was 987/1000 as against 974/1000 in 1991. In regard to female literacy, the rate in Tamil Nadu increased from 27% in 1971 to 40% in 1981, 51% in 1991 and 64.55% in 2001. The State Government is implementing several programmes for the rehabilitation and welfare of widows, destitutes and deserted women by providing either direct assistance like pension, supply of sewing machines, assistance for marriage and indirect assistance in the form of training in vocational courses. The other programmes undei* implementation are creches, balwadies, training-cum-f>roduction centres for women and institutional services for needy women. MSt.7 The decadal population growth rate was to be reduced from 11.2% to 7% by 2011. Tamil Nadu is the forerunner in the implementation of Family Welfare programmes in the country. The family welfare programme is implemented as a people’s programme, involving the active co-operation and participation of the community at large. The main aim of the programme is to bring down the fertility rate through improving maternal and child health care. 1.2.8 In order to increase and stabilize the forest area cover to 25% of total geographical area by 2012, the State has been making efforts by encouraging tree cultivation in and outside reserved forest areas. According to the State of Forest Report (SFR) 2003, the forest cover and tree cover constitute 17.59% and 3.84% of the total geographical area of the State. 1.2.9 The provision of drinking water to all habitations is a major priority of the State. As on 1.4.2004, there were 81787 rural habitations, of which 35727 were fully covered, 36777 were partially covered

    Water politics in Chennai Draft – Do not cite without author consent Arabindoo, P. (2011). Mobilising for water: hydro-politics of rainwater harvesting in Chennai, International Journal of Urban Sustainable Development, 3:1, 106-126 Pushpa Arabindoo 1 29/07/2013 Water politics in Chennai Draft – Do not cite without author consent Mobilising for water: Hydro-politics of rainwater harvesting in Chennai Abstract In 2003-04, as the Indian city of Chennai faced an unprecedented water crisis, a debate ensued about finding longer-term sustainable solutions, ranging from expensive desalination plants to modest rainwater harvesting schemes. The latter was enforced by an authoritative state and promoted enthusiastically by environmentalists to raise awareness about the city’s much destroyed hydrological ecosystem. In contrast to the state’s interpretation reducing it to a compulsory hydraulic installation in individual buildings, environmental NGOs made a concerted effort to develop a more comprehensive intervention in the wider public domain. However, as a dizzying array of socio-political actors came together, concerns emerged about the ability of such a mobilisation to generate a uniform material understanding of rainwater harvesting as a common moral goal. Examining in detail one specific case study of a community- led effort—Puduvellam, this paper looks at how, as a grassroots organisation involved in the restoration of a prominent temple tank in southern Chennai, it rallied support amongst the local (mainly middle class) residents to create a new topology of ecological consciousness. Its success however was only partial and highlights the futility of romanticising rainwater harvesting as an indigenous alternative. More importantly and ironically, its ineffectiveness was enhanced by the crisis itself as it triggered a process of privatisation and commodification of water, with rainwater harvesting eventually being absorbed by the agenda of ‘bourgeois environmentalism’.

Meeting need of water requirements for the population is an arduous task. Although three rivers flow through the metropolitan region and drain into the Bay of Bengal, Chennai has historically relied on annual monsoon rains to replenish its Tanks and Reservoirs as the tanks are silted up or encroached and the river banks are invaded by building activity, drying up due to neglect of tank bunds and loss of their capacity to store rain water, rivers have only source from sewerage water from the buildings and establishments which polluted the river and made it a big surface water sewage system. The area covering Cooum and allied interlinked Kusatalai, Palar and Adayar basins should be considered as Chennai Water supply basin for planning and implementing projects for the future demands by harvesting the monsoon rains in these basins. The concept of watershed delineation in to micro watersheds, use of satellite data bike IRS III(Indian Remote Sensing) and new generation high resolution satellite data has been illustrated in this paper. This paper will make one to understand the past glory of cooum maintained by ancient living people from 5000 years and how our greed to expand without proper hydrological modeling.

  • 6. Water Quality ------61 6.1 Surface Water Quality Observations ------61 6.2 Ground Water Quality Observations ------62 7
    Version 2.0 Krishna Basin Preface Optimal management of water resources is the necessity of time in the wake of development and growing need of population of India. The National Water Policy of India (2002) recognizes that development and management of water resources need to be governed by national perspectives in order to develop and conserve the scarce water resources in an integrated and environmentally sound basis. The policy emphasizes the need for effective management of water resources by intensifying research efforts in use of remote sensing technology and developing an information system. In this reference a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed on December 3, 2008 between the Central Water Commission (CWC) and National Remote Sensing Centre (NRSC), Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) to execute the project “Generation of Database and Implementation of Web enabled Water resources Information System in the Country” short named as India-WRIS WebGIS. India-WRIS WebGIS has been developed and is in public domain since December 2010 (www.india- wris.nrsc.gov.in). It provides a ‘Single Window solution’ for all water resources data and information in a standardized national GIS framework and allow users to search, access, visualize, understand and analyze comprehensive and contextual water resources data and information for planning, development and Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM). Basin is recognized as the ideal and practical unit of water resources management because it allows the holistic understanding of upstream-downstream hydrological interactions and solutions for management for all competing sectors of water demand. The practice of basin planning has developed due to the changing demands on river systems and the changing conditions of rivers by human interventions.

  • Irrigation Planning and Command Area Development
    Chapter 8 Irrigation Planning And Command Area Development 8.1 General Krishna (Srisailam) - Pennar link lies entirely in Kurnool and Cuddapah districts of Andhra Pradesh. In the initial reaches this scheme is integrated with the ongoing Srisailam Right Branch Canal and Telugu Ganga Canal. Initially Srisailam reservoir was planned as a hydro-electric project. Subsequently, Andhra Pradesh State Government made proposals for utilising Krishna waters for benefiting the drought prone areas in Kurnool and Cuddapah districts through Srisailam Right Branch Canal and Telugu Ganga project. Prior to these schemes, the only major project located in the area is Kurnool-Cuddapah canal (KC canal), which draws water from Tungabhadra river (tributary of Krishna) for utilisation in Kurnool and Cuddapah districts. These three major projects are briefly described in the following paragraphs. 8.2 Kurnool-Cuddapah Canal (KC canal) Kurnool-Cuddapah canal off-takes from Sunkesula anicut on Tungabhadra River, traverses through Kurnool and Cuddapah districts and finally terminates at Cuddapah. This canal is connected to the natural streams Nippulavagu, Galeru and Kunderu through controlling structures on these streams viz. Lock-In-Sula, Santajutur anicut and Rajoli anicut respectively. As a result, the nearby areas of these streams are benefited by this project. The total ayacut registered originally under this canal is 122200 ha which is reduced to 110482 ha due to foreshore submergene of Srisailam and urban agglomeration. Out of 110482 ha, Kurnool and Cuddapah districts are having ayacut of 75879 ha and 34603 ha respectively. The water allocated for this project is 1130 Mm3 (39.9 TMC) as per KWDT award.

  • Water Supply and Sanitation’ Are As Follows: 200 7
    7. WATER SUPPLY & SANITATION Overview Human Health and productivity depend on the provision of safe drinking water and sanitation. During successive plan periods, the water supply sector has received high priority which is reflected on the impressive coverage achieved so far. The widening gap between demand and supply, scarce resources and sustainability issues are the present major challenges in the sector. Tamil Nadu is dependant on rainfall for its water supply. It has no perennial rivers and geologically too, the State is mostly covered by hard rock formations where the availability of ground water is uncertain. The population of the State as per 2001 census is 62.11 million out of which 27.24 million is urban and 34.87 million is rural population. The decadal growth stands at 11.19%. With fast urbanisation and increasing expectancy of the people, the demand for water is on the increase but the available resource is scarce. This calls for more efficient use of resources and more reliable delivery system. Drinking Water Supply Problem Chennai City - Drinking Water Supply Position in 2004 During the severe drought in 2004 i.e. upto October 2004, since all the sources supplying water to the Chennai City were dry and there was no water received from Kandaleru under the Telugu Ganga Project, about 100 MLD of water was transported from distant sources like Gummidipoondi, Minjur, Tamaraipakkam, Periyapalayam, Poonamallee, Mamandur-Palur, Thiruporur, Karunguzhi etc. covering a distance of about 120 to 150 km. and the total quantity transported was 23,439.79 ML during the period from 27.6.2003 to 9.11.2004.

    www.Vidyarthiplus.com Environmental engineering-I UNIT-I PLANNING FOR WATER SUPPLY SYSTEM Introduction to Environmental Engineering What is Environmental Engineering? It is the application of scientific and engineering principles to the environmental issues and their solutions. Generally, it includes supply of water, disposal and recycling of wastes, drainage of communities, control of water, soil, atmospheric pollution and environmental impacts of different activities carried out on earth. The practice and application of engineering laws in compliance with the safety of environment and the code of ethics prescribed as standards. Some of those are as below Environmental engineering is the application of science and engineering principles to improve the natural environment (air, water, and/or land resources), to provide healthy water, air, and land for human habitation and for other organisms, and to remediate polluted sites. It involves waste water management and air pollution control, recycling, waste disposal, radiation protection, industrial hygiene, environmental sustainability, and public health issues as well as a knowledge of environmental engineering law. It also includes studies on the environmental impact of proposed construction projects. Environmental engineers conduct hazardous-waste management studies to evaluate the significance of such hazards, advise on treatment and containment, and develop regulations to prevent mishaps. Environmental engineers also design municipal water supply and industrial wastewater treatment systems [1][2] as well as address local and worldwide environmental issues such as the effects of acid rain, global warming, ozone depletion, water pollution and air pollution from automobile exhausts and industrial sources.[3][4][5][6] At many universities, Environmental Engineering programs follow either the Department of Civil Engineering or The Department of Chemical Engineering at Engineering faculties.
