K. Puram, New Delhi-110066 FOREWORD Salinity is a significant challenge and poses risks to sustainable development of Coastal regions of India. If left unmanaged, salinity has serious implications for water quality, biodiversity, agricultural productivity, supply of water for critical human needs and industry and the longevity of infrastructure. The Coastal Salinity has become a persistent problem due to ingress of the sea water inland. This is the most significant environmental and economical challenge and needs immediate attention. The coastal areas are more susceptible as these are pockets of development in the country. Most of the trade happens in the coastal areas which lead to extensive migration in the coastal areas. This led to the depletion of the coastal fresh water resources. Digging more and more deeper wells has led to the ingress of sea water into the fresh water aquifers turning them saline. The rainfall patterns, water resources, geology/hydro-geology vary from region to region along the coastal belt.

  • The Pulicat Lake, Adjoining the Bay of Bengal Is a Shallow Water Body, Bordering the East Coast of India and Located 40 Km North of Chennai
    ENVIRONMENTAL GEOCHEMISTRY OF THE PULICAT LAKE, SOUTH INDIA PURANIK GAYATRI RANGANATH JUNE-2000 ABSTRACT The Pulicat lake, adjoining the Bay of Bengal is a shallow water body, bordering the east coast of India and located 40 km north of Chennai. The lake is one of the largest salt-water lake in India that supports a wide range of socioeconomic and cultural activities. The primary aim of this study is to understand the biogeochemical processes of the Pulicat lake ecosystem in order to preserve the ecological and environmental characteristics of this fragile ecosystem. Seasonal samples of water, bed, suspended and core sediments were collected over a one-year period in three zones (southern-channel, central and northern regions) of the Pulicat lake. The lake receives fresh water discharge only during monsoon, from two seasonal rivers, the Arani discharging into the southern region of the lake (zone I) and the Kalangi discharging into the northwestern region of the lake (zone III). The Buckingham canal, running parallel to the coastline discharges sewage contaminated water and industrial effluents into the Pulicat lake. Due to the limited freshwater supply and tidal action, the mouth of the lake gets silted up and closed during the dry season. Understanding the spatial and seasonal variations in the water chemistry was one of the primary aspects of this study. The chemical composition of the surface water indicates a strong influence by seawater during the summer and diluted by river water during the monsoon season. The results obtained indicate that the dominant cations and anions of the surface water are in the order of Cl>Na>S04>K>Mg>HC03>Ca.

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.
