Veeranamlake for implementationwith World Bank assistance. The project envisages,after augmentationof Veeranam storage capacity, drawat of 190 mid of raw water from the lake, complete conventionaltreatment and conveyance of treatedwater bypumping overa distance of 230 km to Madras city for distribution.To ensure that the developmentaloptions under consideration in the New Veeranamproject are environmentallysound and sustainable,and that any environmentalconsequences are recognised early, the Tamil Nadu WaterSupply and Drainage (TWAD)Board, in concurrence with the World Bank, retained the National EnvironmentalEngineering Research Institute (NEERI)in January,1994 to prepare the environmentalassessment of the project The report presents the baseline status of the major environmental components of the project area, and the requirements for environmental assessment of such projects at international,national and state levels. Public meetings were organised to obtain the views of local NGOs and project affected people and to identify any new issues to be addressed in the design and implementation of the project. Significant potential impacts during pre-construction, construction and operationalphases of the project have been identified, predicted and quantified wherever feasible, and evaluated. An environmental management plan (EMP) for mitigating adverse impacts and maximisingbeneficial impacts has also been delineated. The co-operation and assistance rendered by the officials of TWAD, MMWSSBand PWD in the completion of the study is gratefully acknowledged. Thanks are also due to the officials of a number of organisations who readily furnished informationfor the study. Nagpur (P. Khanna) October, 1994 Director PROJECT PERSONNEL NEERI Mr. Aboo, K.M.

  • Mobilising for Water: Hydro-Politics of Rainwater Harvesting in Chennai, International Journal of Urban Sustainable Development, 3:1, 106-126
    Water politics in Chennai Draft – Do not cite without author consent Arabindoo, P. (2011).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Journal of Urban Sustainable Development, 3:1, 106-126 Pushpa Arabindoo 1 29/07/2013 Water politics in Chennai Draft – Do not cite without author consent Mobilising for water: Hydro-politics of rainwater harvesting in Chennai Abstract In 2003-04, as the Indian city of Chennai faced an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’.

  • Irrigation Projects of Tamil Nadu from 2001-2021
    IRRIGATION PROJECTS OF TAMIL NADU FROM 2001-2021 NAME – VRINDA GUPTA INSTITUTION – K.R. MANGALAM UNIVERSITY 1 ABSTRACT From the ancient times water is always most important for agriculture purpose for growing crops. Since thousand years, humans have relied on agriculture to feed their communities and they have needed irrigation to water their crops. Irrigation includes artificially applying water to the land to enhance the growing of crops. Over the years, irrigation has come in many different forms in countries all over the world. Irrigation projects involves hydraulic structures which collect, convey and deliver water to those areas on which crops are grown. Irrigation projects unit may starts from a small farm unit to those serving extensive areas of millions of hectares. Irrigation projects consist of two types first a small irrigation project and second a large irrigation project. Small irrigation project includes a low diversion or an inexpensive pumping plant along with small channels and some minor control structures. Large irrigation project includes a huge dam, a large storage reservoir, hundreds kilometers of canals, branches and distributaries, control structures and other works. In this paper we discussing about irrigation plan of Tamil Nadu from 2001-2021. INTRODUCTION Water is the important or elixir of life, a precious gift of nature to humans and millions of other species living on the earth. It is hard to find in most part of the world. 4% of India’s land area in Tamil Nadu and inhabited by 6% of India’s population but water resources in India is only 2.5%. In Tamil Nadu, water is a serious limiting factor for agriculture growth which leads to irrigation reduces risk in farming, increases crop productivity, provides higher employment opportunities to the rural areas and increases farmer income.
