The whole responsibility lies on us to maintain God's creation in its pristine state without disturbing or intervening in the ecological balance. It is observed that the more we rise in science and technology, the less we care about protecting and maintaining our environment.

This District Disaster Management Plan devises a strategy for reducing the hazards and dangers of all kinds of disasters and accidents. It is a dedicated effort by the DDMA, Chikkamagaluru to prepare a comprehensive District Disaster Management Plan under the leadership of the District Administration.

  • Seasonal Variation in the Physico-Chemical Characteristics Along the Upstream of Tungabhadra River, Western Ghats, India
    Received: 17th Dec-2012 Revised: 28th Dec-2012 Accepted: 30th Dec -2012 Research article SEASONAL VARIATION IN THE PHYSICO-CHEMICAL CHARACTERISTICS ALONG THE UPSTREAM OF TUNGABHADRA RIVER, WESTERN GHATS, INDIA Sowmyashree Shetty *, N C Tharavathy , Reema Orison Lobo, Nannu Shafakatullah Department of Biosciences, Environmental Science Division, Mangalore University, Mangalagangothri – 574 199, Mangalore, Karnataka, India. * Corresponding author, e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT: The present study was undertaken to know the variation in different seasons in response to physico-chemical properties of Tungabhadra river, Western Ghats, India. The study was carried out over a period of one year from December 2009 to December 2010. The study of physical parameters namely air temperature, water temperature, salinity, conductivity, dissolved solids, suspended solids, total solids and chemical parameters such as pH, total hardness, dissolved oxygen, total alkalinity, chloride, calcium and magnesium showed noticeable seasonal variations, which may be attributed to the local climatic conditions and water exchange mechanisms. Analysis of water quality parameters indicated that water was free from any sort of contamination since it is an unpolluted area. Keywords: Physico-chemical properties, Seasonal variations, Tungabhadra river, Western Ghats. INTRODUCTION The Western Ghats (WG), located along the southwest coastline of the Indian subcontinent, is a biodiversity ‘hotspot’ [16] and is extremely rich in its diversity as well as endemicity [4, 7]. Tungabhadra is a major river in the south Indian peninsula. The river is in fact formed by the union of two rivers Tunga and Bhadra and hence the name. Both Tunga and Bhadra Rivers are originated on the eastern slops of the Western Ghats.

  • District Irrigation Plan
    DISTRICT IRRIGATION PLAN CHIKKAMAGALURU Prepared by JOINT DIRECTOR OF AGRICULTURE, CHIKKAMAGALURU JULY - 2016 i | Page FOREWORD Chikkamagaluru district has been foreign exchange earner for the country for ages, through its dominating position in production, processing and trading of Coffee and other plantation products. Lately it is gaining the name of Pepper Kingdom, owing to the immense increase in earnings by this product in the district. Although per capita income is around 1.18 lakhs, disparities within the population is highly visible, mostly due to the fact that bulk of district GDP comes from Services sector like, Exports, Trade, Banking and Hospitality sector, in which larger population does not participate. The three distinctly different agro-climatic zones of the district also contribute to income disparities in the rural areas, with a sparsely populated hilly and Malnad region, that contribute income from plantations have a higher per capita earning than the plains of Central dry zone of Kadur taluk and Southern Transitional Zone of Tarikere and eastern parts of Chikkamagaluru taluk. High rainfall of Malnad region varying between 1900 mm to 3500 mm and scanty rains in Kadur and Tarikere taluks between 600 mm and 700 mm not only cause income disparities, but also challenges in distribution of water for agriculture and domestic use purposes, so much so some of the villages in high rainfall zone and scanty rainfall regions face drinking water issues in summer. The district has seized the Prime Minister’s Krishi Sinchayee Yojana as an opportunity to plan for better use of rain water for agriculture, domestic, livestock, industrial and other uses.

A rich variety of flora like: aromatic sandalwood, pipal and banyan trees are abundantly available in the State. The river Cauvery, Tunga, Krishna, Kapila – enrich the soil of the land and contribute to the State’s agricultural prosperity. The water falls created by the rivers are a feast to the eyes of the outlookers. Historical bakground: Karnataka is a land with rich historical past. It has many pre-historic sites and most of them are in the river valleys. The pre-historic culture of Karnataka is quite distinct from the pre- historic culture of North India, which may be compared with that existed in Africa. 1 Parts of Karnataka were subject to the rule of the Nandas, Mauryas and the Shatavahanas; Chandragupta Maurya (either Chandragupta I or Sannati Chandragupta Asoka’s grandson) is believed to have visited Sravanabelagola and spent his last years in this place.
