    PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT WATER RESOURCES DEPARTMENT PERFORMANCE BUDGET 2015-2016 © Government of Tamil Nadu 2016 PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT WATER RESOURCES DEPARTMENT 1.0. General Management of water resources is vital to the holistic development of the State due to the growing drinking water needs and industrialisation, in addition to the needs of fisheries, environmental flows and community uses. Taking into account the limited availability of water and increasing demand for various uses, the need for creating new irrigation facilities at feasible locations and modernising, improving and rehabilitating the existing irrigation infrastructure assumes great importance. The Government is continuously striving to improve the service delivery of the irrigation system and to increase the productivity, through improving the water use efficiency, participation of farmers in operation and maintenance, canal automation, benchmarking studies and performance evaluation studies and building the capacity of Water Resources Department officials and farmers. In addition, the Government is taking up various schemes, viz., Rivers Inter-linking schemes, Artificial Recharge Schemes, Flood Management Programme, Coastal protection works, Restoration of Traditional water bodies, Augmenting drinking water supply, etc., to harness, develop and effectively utilise the seasonal flood flows occurring over a short period of time during monsoon. 1 2.0.

Generally, Ascomycota crustose lichens exhibited the highest discharge rates and percentage germination. In contrast, foliose lichen colony development samples, although having a high discharge rate, had a lower percentage germination than crustose species mycobiont tested. A correlation with season was indicated for a number of species. Continued development of germinated seasonality ascospores into recognizable colonies in pure culture was followed for a selection of species. The most successful Thailand medium tried was 2 % Malt-Yeast extract agar (MYA), and under static conditions using a liquid culture medium, a sponge proved to be the best of several physical carriers tested; this novel method has considerable potential for experimental work with lichen mycobionts.

  • Interpretation of Soil Resources Using Remote Sensing and GIS in Thanjavur District, Tamil Nadu, India
    Available online a t www.pelagiaresearchlibrary.com Pelagia Research Library Advances in Applied Science Research, 2011, 2 (3): 525-535 ISSN: 0976-8610 CODEN (USA): AASRFC Interpretation of soil resources using remote sensing and GIS in Thanjavur district, Tamil Nadu, India J. Punithavathi*, S. Tamilenthi and R. Baskaran Department of Industries and Earth Sciences, Tamil University, Thanjavur, TN, India ______________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT Mapping of physiographic units and the sediments/soils of an area can give useful information for land use planning. Remote sensing technique plays an important role in the mapping of soil, physiographic units and other land resources. In this present study, Thanjavur district, Tamil Nadu has been choosen to prepare physiographic units and soil maps by using IRS-P6 satellite imagery, (Scale 1:50,000). This study reveals that the mapping of different soil/sediment types and physiographic units can be effectively and the land suitability can be inferred. Key words: Physiographic units, Soil productivity, Crops grown, Remote sensing and GIS. ______________________________________________________________________________ INTRODUCTION In view of soil resources mapping, the study area of Thanjavur district Tamil nadu has been interpreted. The Remote sensing Technique is a major tool interpreting the land resources and that can be used for a Thanjavur area like this kind of soil mapping. The major physiographic features such as alluvial and sandy plains, undulating pediplan, upland and natural vegetation, coastal plain areas or low lying lands of the study area have been interpreted. There are many previous investigation such as Ahuja R.L[1], Kumar, Ashok and Sanjay Kumar Srivastava [3], Fabos J.G.[4], Fitz and Patrick.E.A [5], Lillesand, Keieper[6], Saha and S.K.Singh [7] and many other soil resources related of the previous investigation.

  • Chapter – Iii Agro Climatic Zone Profile
    CHAPTER – III AGRO CLIMATIC ZONE PROFILE This chapter portrays the Tamil Nadu economy and its environment. The features of the various Agro-climatic zones are presented in a detailed way to highlight the endowment of natural resources. This setting would help the project to corroborate with the findings and justify the same. Based on soil characteristics, rainfall distribution, irrigation pattern, cropping pattern and other ecological and social characteristics, the State Tamil Nadu has been classified into seven agro-climatic zones. The following are the seven agro-climatic zones of the State of Tamil Nadu. 1. Cauvery Delta zone 2. North Eastern zone 3. Western zone 4. North Western zone 5. High Altitude zone 6. Southern zone and 7. High Rainfall zone 1. Cauvery Delta Zone This zone includes Thanjavur district, Musiri, Tiruchirapalli, Lalgudi, Thuraiyur and Kulithalai taluks of Tiruchirapalli district, Aranthangi taluk of Pudukottai district and Chidambaram and Kattumannarkoil taluks of Cuddalore and Villupuram district.
