In 1979, reports appeared in Kerala Press about damage to Periyar Dam. On 25th November, 1979 Chairman, CWC held meeting with the officers of Irrigation and Electricity, Deptt. of Kerala and PWD of Tamil Nadu and some emergency medium term measures and long‐term measures for strengthening of Periyar Dam were decided.

  • Mattupetty Dam Munnar, Kerala
    Mattupetty Dam Munnar, Kerala MattupettyMattupetty Dam Dam Munnar Boating at Mattupetty Dam Located a little way off Munnar, the Mattupetty dam is a popular item on a day itinerary from Munnar. Dams all over the world, with their display of man's might over nature, have always attracted visitors. As have bodies of water. The Mattupetty dam and the lake as well, has therefore attracted a considerable number of travelers. Also, the fact that it is set in the backdrop of verdant rolling slopes, makes it ideal for a picnic, or just a small stop. Opened in 1953, the Dam is a concrete gravity dam. Not only is it a major tourist draw, but the hydro-electric power it generates is a major revenue source for the state of Kerala. The dam is well-maintained and the reservoir lake is clean. The gates of the dam are small, and even when open, the huge gushing noise of water characteristic of larger dams is absent here. Attractions and activities at the Mattupetty Dam 1. Boating: Speed boats are a must-do activity here. Majorly, because they are a good way to enjoy the beauty of the lake, and there is nothing much to do here, otherwise. As the boat moves along the water, the green reflections of the surrounding verdure, have a very calming effect on the passenger. 2. A stroll on the banks of the lake: The banks of the lake have just about enough trees to make the idea of a stroll through them inviting. One can always follow it up with a nice foot- dipping session at the lake.

Liji Samuel* & Dr. Prasad A. K.** *Research Scholar, Department of Economics, University of Kerala Kariavattom Campus P.O., Thiruvananthapuram. **Associate Professor, Department of Economics, University of Kerala Kariavattom Campus P.O., Thiruvananthapuram. Received: June 25, 2018 Accepted: August 11, 2018 ABSTRACT Energy has been a key instrument in the development scenario of mankind. Energy resources are obtained from environmental resources, and used in different economic sectors in carrying out various activities. Production of energy directly depletes the environmental resources, and indirectly pollutes the biosphere. In Kerala, electricity is mainly produced from hydelsources. Sometimeshydroelectric dams cause flash flood and landslides. This paper attempts to analyse the social and environmental consequences of hydroelectric dams in Kerala Keywords: dams, hydroelectricity, environment Introduction Electric power industry has grown, since its origin around hundred years ago, into one of the most important sectors of our economy. It provides infrastructure for economic life, and it is a basic and essential overhead capital for economic development. It would be impossible to plan production and marketing process in the industrial or agricultural sectors without the availability of reliable and flexible energy resources in the form of electricity. Indeed, electricity is a universally accepted yardstick to measure the level of economic development of a country. Higher the level of electricity consumption, higher would be the percapitaGDP. In Kerala, electricity production mainly depends upon hydel resources.One of the peculiar aspects of the State is the network of river system originating from the Western Ghats, although majority of them are short rapid ones with low discharges.
