  • The Seasonal Variation of Physic-Chemical Parameters in Surface Water of Kollidam Estuary, Nagapattinam, Se Coast of India
    Journal of Xi'an University of Architecture & Technology Issn No : 1006-7930 THE SEASONAL VARIATION OF PHYSIC-CHEMICAL PARAMETERS IN SURFACE WATER OF KOLLIDAM ESTUARY, NAGAPATTINAM, SE COAST OF INDIA RAMESH P*, JAYAPRAKASH M, GOPAL V Dept of Applied Geology, University of Madras, Chennai 600025, India Abstract The physic-chemical properties and enrichment of nutrients were analyzed at 20 stations in Esturine surface water of Kollidam Estuary, Southeast Coast of Tamil Nadu. The analyses were carried out in pre-and post-monsoon of year 2016. The analyzed parameters in premonsoon are pH: 7.2-7.9, DO: 7.9-8.9 mg/l, salinity: 26.8-35.1ppt, PO4: 2.8-6.5 mg/l, Nitirite: 0.12-0.53 mg/l, Nitrate: 26-55 mg/l, silicate: 20.6-42.5 mg/l, Ca: 100-152 mg/l. Mg: 206-356 mg/l, Na: 6.8-12.6g/l and K: 45.3-83.5 mg/l. During postmonsoon, the recorded parameters as pH: 7.9-8.1, DO: 7.6-8.6 mg/l, salinity:27.1-32.7ppt, PO4:4.3-9.36 mg/l, Nitirite: 0.21-0.59 mg/l, Nitrate:33.1-62.9 mg/l, silicate: 24.3-47.1 mg/l, Ca: 64-90 mg/l. Mg: 181-374 mg/l, Na: 76.2-111.1 g/l and K: 9.4-29.7 mg/l.

  • Mapping Encroachments Along the River Kaveri in Tamil Nadu, Thanjavur District, India
    Available online a twww.scholarsresearchlibrary.com Scholars Research Library Archives of Applied Science Research, 2016, 8 (5):70-76 (http://scholarsresearchlibrary.com/archive.html) ISSN 0975-508X CODEN (USA) AASRC9 Flood control measures: mapping encroachments along the river Kaveri in Tamil Nadu, Thanjavur District, India J. Senthil * and P. H. Anand Department of Geography, Govt. Arts College (A), Kumbakonam, Tamil Nadu, India _____________________________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT Problem of encroachments on the river Kaveri area is grave and affects the rural environment of this region during seasonal and flash floods. Like the problem of polluted waters, that of encroachments is quite common with almost all the rivers and streams. The first type of encroachment comes from the builders of houses and other concerns. Due to the steep growth of population in Kaveri delta area, and concentration of more rural villages are being affected. The area on the banks of the Kaveri which generally lies vacant and unused seems to be an ideal place for constructing houses and other encroachments. Thus unauthorized colonies and houses are being built on the banks of the Kaveri. Second type of encroachment is by the farmers who own lands adjoining to the Kaveri. The greed for more yields and more income at any cost has led the farmers to hunt for more land. For the gross root level study and to use the GPS survey the entire river length (77 km) has been divided into five zones and identified the encroachments. Key words: Encroachments, GPS, Flash Flood _____________________________________________________________________________________________ INTRODUCTION An illegal intrusion in a highway or navigable river, with or without obstruction is encroachments.
