  • 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.

The ramification of pollution is indeed more• severe in the less developed countries that are afflictedwith chronic problems of political instability, lack of political will, high• level of illiteracy, unceasing poverty, increasing degree• of urbanization, lack of basic needs• and basic• infrastructureand women subordination• . The subject matter of groundwater and surfacewater pollution gains further significance due to• economic • .liberaliz.ation policy, to which most underdeveloped countries have been subjected. In other words, the phrase, "sustainable development" emphasized in many international fora, has seemingly no meaning in many underdeveloped countries. • Most river basins, in particular India, are heavily• polluted. In addition, the river basins are stressed due to competing demand for water across different uses and users; there is an intense competition in tapping the good quality water among the sectors such as agriculture, industry and domestic. In the process, milUons of gallons• of good quality water• is transported~ ' from rural to urban areas everyday; the• net result• is the flourishing water trade• and the depletion of• groundwater potential. It causes more anxiety not only because a huge quantity of • water is transported from rural to urban areas,• but also because of the release of comparable quantity of water • as effluent.

    International Journal of Enterprise and Innovation Management Studies (IJEIMS) Vol4. No.1 2013 ISSN: 0976-2698 p.p :16 -26 gopalax journals, Singapore www.ijcns .com SUSTAINABLE MANAGEMENT OF DRINKING WATER SOURCES OF COASTAL AREA IN TAMIL NADU –AN OVER VIEW Dr. R.Mohanraj, Assistant Professor, Manonmaniam Sundaranar University,Tirunelveli K.Revathy, Scholar Department of Economics, Manonmaniam Sundaranar University,Tirunelveli ABSTRACT -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This paper is aimed at understanding the drinking water status and management approaches adopted in coastal area of Tamil Nadu. Saltwater intrusion, seasonal scarcity and groundwater depletion are the common problems encountered here. Collective action, successful institutional set up and water harvesting methods have shown positive impact. Attempts to resolve the drinking water crisis has been local. However, it is significant to understand that the problems need to be addressed from a larger perspective to curtail long-term effects. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. INTRODUCTION Groundwater plays a vital role as important source of drinking water in rural and urban areas of India. According to some estimates, it accounts for nearly 80 per cent of the rural domestic water needs, and 50 per cent of the urban water needs in India. Naturally surface water bodies are highly subject to contamination and pollution whereas groundwater is less susceptible. Over exploitation of groundwater is causing pollution of this priceless resource. Groundwater pollution is a challenging global problem. Particularly people, who are living near to coastal areas, are facing a struggle to have safe drinking water. Nearly 25% of the population of India lives along the coastal zones. Coastal regions are having both spatial and temporal variations in the groundwater characteristics.

  • Title: Need to Expedite Construction of New Railway Lines from Tindivanam to Nagari and Tiruvannamalai
    > Title: Need to expedite construction of new railway lines from Tindivanam to Nagari and Tiruvannamalai. SHRI M. KRISHNASSWAMY (ARANI): I would like to draw the attention of the Government to the need for expediting the work for the new railway lines from Tindivanam to Nagari and also from Tindivanam to Tiruvannamalai which were announced in 2006-07 by the then Railway Minister. The route of Tindivanam to Nagari, a distance of 180-kms., would pass through Vandavasi, Cheyyar, Arcot, Pallipattu, districts in Tamil Nadu to reach Nagari station on the Arakkonam-Renigunta section in Chittoor District in Andhra Pradesh. For this Rs.180 crore was allotted to take up the survey works in this route. This new route, which passes through Arani, will also help in the development of the silk industry in Arani and also export. The second route is from Tindivanam to Tiruvannamalai. The idea is to provide a connectivity from Pondicherry to Bengaluru (72 kms.) which would benefit people in Coastal and Northern Tamil Nadu to connect to Bengaluru & beyond. Railways, no doubt, will save funds and also easily provide faster connectivity via Gingee town. Already, around Rs.70 crore was allotted for survey in this route. At present, land acquisition work is going on at a snail's speed. There is administrative delay in the process. The two river projects on Palar River and Cheyyar river come on these routes. Stones have been laid at the Palar river and bridges constructed whereas in the Cheyyar river the concerned authorities have not started the bridge construction and the pace of work is very slow.
