The total length of distribution network is about 25 Km. 2.3. Customer Connections The town has over 2300 no. of house service connections. There are 2120 domestic connections and 180 non-domestic connections & the proposed connections 4120 Nos. (Total connections including existing connections is 6420 Nos) 2.4. Present Service Levels The town is being supplied with a water supply daily. The Town Panchayat Honnavar is not getting its required water demand due to power interruption at Head works & pipeline repairs problems. 2.5. Current Operating Financials At present flat rate of Rs. 80/- per month for domestic & Rs. 160/- per month for non-domestic connections is being billed by the TP, Honnavar. (PNo.115/24). 3. Service Improvement Project In the letter no.245/2012 Dt: 27/06/2012 the local MLA has requested the KUWS&DBoard on the pressure of public for frequent interruption of water supply to give separate water supply facility from the River Sharavati as source to Honnavar town. The source is perennial and the Gerusoppa Hydro power project Dam is situated at a distance of 3.0 Km upstream of proposed Head works. The tail water discharge through minimum 1 to maximum 4 Tubines is also continuously available during the period of summer. The Linganmakki Major Karnataka Hydro power Project Dam discharge tail water is fed to the Gerusoppa Dam. The future water demand is assessed based on factors like demographic growth, service levels, growth of domestic demand and losses in the network, in compliance with CPHEEO guidelines. As per 2011 census the population of Honnavar town is 19,109(PNo.124). The prospective population is 22,300 & 28,800 for the intermediate year 2030 & ultimate year 2045 respectively(PNo.130). Considering the rate of supply as 135 LPCD, the water demand works out to 3.23 MLD (2015) Intermediate demand is 3.64 MLD (2030) and Ultimate demand is 4.04 MLD (2045) (PNo.130). The 2011 census the population of 9 Grama Panchayath’s is 46,437. The prospective population is 51,400 & 55,700 for the intermediate year 2030 & ultimate year 2045 respectively (PNo.130).

  • Palaeoflood Records from Upper Kaveri River, Southern India: Evidence for Discrete Floods During Holocene

KALE1, HEMA ACHYUTHAN2, MANOJ K. JAISWAL3 and SOMASIS SENGUPTA1 1Department of Geography, University of Pune, Pune 411 007, India 2Department of Geology, Anna University, Chennai, 600 025, India 3Department of Earth Sciences, Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER), Kolkata 741 252, India Received 27 January 2010 Accepted 15 September 2010 Abstract: A record of six discrete middle Holocene floods has been established based on sedimen- tological and stratigraphical studies in the upper Kaveri catchment at Siddapur. The flood events are represented by six discrete, sharp-bounded, sand-silt couplets. Texturally and geochemically the suite of couplets is quite distinct from the overlying and underlying structureless fluvial deposits. Based on OSL ages the suite of couplets cover the Holocene from ~8 to ~2 ka. Such evidence is not present or reported from any other river originating in the Western Ghat in the Indian Peninsula. We argue that the six couplets represent short-term, high discharge events or flash floods. The initiation of this phase of flash floods broadly corresponds with the southward migration of ITCZ and a gradual de- cline in Indian summer monsoon precipitation starting at ~7.8 ka. Comparison of the elevation of the highest couplet with the high flood level (HFL) of the 1961 extraordinary flood on Kaveri demon- strates that the 20th century flood was higher than the mid-Holocene palaeofloods.

With her rich cultural heritage as superbly manifest in many of the architectural wonders (palaces, temples, mosques, forts, etc), caves and prehistoric wall paintings, her widely varied topography ranging from the monotonous plains to the loftiest mountains of the world, her large climatic variations ranging from some of the wettest and the driest as well as from the hottest and the coldest parts of the world, beautiful long beaches on the sea coast, vast stretches of sands, gregarious tropical forests and above all, the great variety of the life-style, India offers an unending choice for the tourist. In developing countries like India tourism has become one of the major sectors of the economy, contributing to a large proportion of the National income and generating huge employment opportunities. It has become the fastest growing service industry in the country with great potentials for its further expansion and diversification. Tourism industry is capable to generate employment to both skilled and unskilled workers, directly and indirectly. This paper studied the problem faced by tourism industry in coastal Karnataka . Key Words: Tourism, Development, Problems, Opportunities, Coastal Karnataka.

  • Age and Rate of Growth of the Indian Mackerel, Ras- Trelliger Canagurta (Cuvier) with Notes on Its Fishery at Karwar
    AGE AND RATE OF GROWTH OF THE INDIAN MACKEREL, RAS- TRELLIGER CANAGURTA (CUVIER) WITH NOTES ON ITS FISHERY AT KARWAR BY N. RADHAKRISHNAN {Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute) INTRODUCTION Information on the growth of a fish is an important pre-requisite in under­ standing the dynamics of fish populations. In fishery yield studies, such as those of Beverton and Holt (1957) the growth is a basic variable determining the exploitable stock and yield from the fishery. The present paper deals with the age and growth studies of the Indian mackerel incorporating the results of investigations carried out at Karwar from January 1954 to March 1959. At Karwar, the mackerel season generally commences in October and ends in the following March. After this period, only stray specimens are netted. LENGTH FREQUENCY STITDIBS For purposes of this study, the total length of the fish was taken into account. The specimens used in the present investigation were obtained from the inshore fishing grounds around Karwar by the shore seines {Rampan and Yendi) which are the most important gears used all along the Kanara coast. Text figures 1 to 4 show the length frequency distribution of samples obtained at monthly intervals from January 1954 to March 1959. In some months, where the samples were too small to form a comparison with other months, the data for these months were neglected from the length frequency analysis. Further, the monthly data of each year have been pooled into three periods, (t) January to March (2) April to September and (3) October to December. This was done for the sake of convenience, to make comparison from one period to the other more uniform.

Tain temple and deity is Lord Shiva, who is also known as Gokarna, India 2 Mahabhaleshwara. This temple houses what is believed to be original image of Lord Shiva's lingam. There are many other temples all over this small town. Ankola and Kumta on Highway 17 are the main towns near Gokarna. Gokarna is historically known as one of the seven important Hindu pilgrimage centers and is located on what was once unspoiled beach near the estuary of river Aghanashini with its palm trees, other colorful tropical fruit and flower trees. Of late due to the numbers of tourists the character of this town has changed. This town is no longer just a center of pilgrimage though massive numbers of devotees still visit the town for the purposes of offering prayers and worship to Lord Shiva. Due to its laid back unspoiled and rustic nature, many younger western tourists started visiting Gokarna about a decade ago.
