Monsoon Assemblages
MONSOON ASSEMBLAGES ELEMENTS OF THE URBAN HYDROLOGY OF SOUTH CHENNAI Literature Review Author: Michele Vianello Date: February 2017 ProJect Document Number: OV_Vianello_2017A Monsoon Assemblages sis a proJect funded by the European Research Council (ERC) under the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme. Grant Agreement No. 679873. This review looks at the literature regarding the hydrology and the built up environment of South Chennai as well as the different types of knowledge shaped around them. It examines academic papers, books and book chapters originating in a wide variety of disciplines (eg. architecture, social sciences, geography, hydrology) as well as non-academic texts (eg. newspaper articles, official administrative body websites, NGO reports) and maps (eg. from official agencies, academic papers). It particularly attempts to understand how the different monsoonal cycles have been playing a role in shaping the hydrology and the built up environment as well as the different types of knowledge used to interpret them and act upon them, or else how these cycles failed to be effectively captured in the knowledge production. Addressing these themes required to examine a very diverse literature, at times tackling very specific aspects of the issues at hand. A consistent attempt has been made to coherently extract those bits of information and build an overall picture of the area while laying out the context and identifying relevant issues for the Monsoon Assemblages research project. In spite of this, this review does not claim to be a complete investigation on the elements of the hydrology of South Chennai: the objective has been rather that of identifying which gaps, pertinent to the Monsoon Assemblages line of enquiry, will have to be filled as well as scoping the field for the overall research. -

Chennai, the capital city of Tamil Nadu is located in the South East of India and lies at a mere 6.7m above mean sea level. Chennai is in a vulnerable location due to storm surges as well as tropical cyclones that bring about heavy rains and yearly floods. The 2004 Tsunami greatly affected the coast, and rapid urbanization, accompanied by the reduction in the natural drain capacity of the ground caused by encroachments on marshes, wetlands and other ecologically sensitive and permeable areas has contributed to repeat flood events in the city. Channelized rivers and canals contaminated through the presence of informal settlements and garbage has exasperated the situation. Natural and man-made water infrastructures that include, monsoon water harvesting and storage systems such as the Temple tanks and reservoirs have been polluted, and have fallen into disuse. -

Aarhat Multidisciplinary International Education Research Journal (AMIERJ) ( UGC Approved Journal No 48178, 48818 ) ISSN 2278-5655 WETLANDS & ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY: A CASE STUDY Mr. Sunil Kumar Singh A, Assistant Professor, Department of Geography, School of Earth Sciences, Central University of Karnataka. Abstract Wetlands are ecosystems or habitats for specific plants and animals that are saturated with water. The presence or absence of water determines their formation, processes and characteristics. Wetlands are of great importance to man and nature as it purifies water, reduces flood, stores water, prevents soil erosion, supports varied biodiversities etc. Starting about thousands of years in urban areas of the world and typically a few hundred years ago in most other coastal areas, humanity has profoundly impacted, degraded or destroyed many coastal wetlands worldwide by direct physical degradation and pollution. Ironically, reduced coastal wetland increases threat to human safety at the same time, shoreline development exposes populations to coastal hazards such as tsunamis, erosion, flooding, storm waves and surges. This paper tries to evaluate the importance of Wetlands and the present scenario of wetlands and the steps taken by the world community to protect and preserve it. This paper illustrates the present scenario of wetlands by The Case study of Pallikaranai Wetlands of Chennai which presents the best example of the dismal state of wetlands in-spite of numerous efforts taken by academicians, environmentalists and the local community to protect it. Aim 1. To bring out the importance of Wetlands and the need to preserve and protect it. 2. Illustrate the present scenario of Wetlands based on a case study of “Pallikaranai Wetlands Ecosystems in Chennai” and the present scenario of Wetlands around the world. -

This wetland is highly polluted due to the rapid industrialization, urbanization and dumping of solid waste. The water quality of the Pallikaranai wetland has been studied with reference to toxic Paper received: metals. The metals analyzed include lead, chromium, iron, copper, nickel, zinc and cadmium. The heavy 14 December 2010 metal analysis in surface waters were in the following range ; Cd : BDL – 0.019 mg l -1 , Fe : BDL – 1.52 mg l -1 , Cu : BDL – 0.02 mg l -1 , Ni : BDL- 0.60 mg l -1 , Pb : 0.03 – 1.13 mg l -1 , Zn : 0.002 – 0.14 mg l -1 and Revised received: Cr : 0.10 – 1.52 mg l -1 respectively. The dominance of various heavy metals in the surface water of the 22 June 2011 Pallikaranai wetland followed the sequence: Pb> Cr > Fe > Ni > Zn > Cd > Cu. -
Conservation Plan for Adyar River
CONSERVATION PLAN FOR ADYAR RIVER A DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the award of the degree of MASTER OF TECHNOLOGY in “ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT OF RIVERS AND LAKES” by KARTHIK KUMAR.C ALTERNATE HYDRO ENERGY CENTRE INDIAN INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY ROORKEE-247667 MAY 2015 ABSTRACT The origin of Adyar River can be traced to a point near Guduvancheri village, in Adanur Tank, though it assumes the appearance as a river only after receiving the surplus water from Chembarampakkam Lake as well as the drainage from the areas in the South West of Chennai. It flows through several villages of Kancheepuram and Chennai district for a distance of 42 km, collecting surplus water from surface drainages and many tanks and lakes, with a total catchment area of 1142 sq.km, to finally drain in the Bay of Bengal. The Adyar river has low velocity and discharge and does not carry enough water to sustain organic life in the river except during the North-West monsoon season. In the upstream of the river, there is less settlement along the banks and is not affected much by domestic sewage. It receives untreated agricultural runoffs. The use of fertilizers and pesticides for agriculture leads to contamination of soil, eventually they reach river through runoff generated by the rainfall as well as agricultural runoff. This leads to the increase in both nitrates as well as phosphates pollution and also contaminates groundwater of the river basin. Adyar River also has an estuary at its mouth, covering 149 Ha of area. About 23.5 ha of its part known as Adyar creek, an estuarine wetland, which is part of the ‘green lungs' of the city, provides a habitat for migratory birds and aquatic animals. -
