Analysis of surface runoff and baseflow at Tambarapani basin – A research report by National Institute of Hydrology

The report presents the analysis of surface runoff and baseflow carried out for the Ariyanayakipuram anicut, Tambarapani basin, Tamil Nadu for a period of 13 years (1983-95). The hydrological behavior of catchments is a very complex phenomenon and is controlled by a large number of climatic and physiographic factors that vary in time and space. The analysis shows that the contribution of baseflow at Ariyanayakipuram anicut was observed to be more.Read More

Seasonal mapping of water bodies along the Andhra Pradesh coast using satellite data – A research report by the National Institute of Hydrology

The report presents the seasonal mapping of water bodies along the Andhra coast using satellite data to analyze the pre-monsoon and post-monsoon variations in the reservoirs. Water resources development be it construction of reservoir, anicut or irrigation canal, calls for mapping of the various water bodies to throw light on its behavior in different seasons in order to plan a judicious water management scheme.

Remote sensing methods are considered to be more appropriate than conventional methods for collection of such information owing to their capability to provide broad synoptic and repetitive coverage of the area in a multi-spectral mode.Read More

Cauvery Basin: The Grand Anicut of Cholas

The Grand Anicut, though later rebuilt by the British, is believed to have been built in the mid to late Chola times. It is a vast construction for its time, spanning a thousand feet across the Cauvery and sixty feet wide. The Chola monarchs needed the dam to tackle the problem of using the flood waters of the cauvery for irrigation to create more consistent food and wealth. Read More
