Analyzing Water Chemistry and Health Problems in Thiruvallur, Tamil Nadu

1. Part 1 To analyse the chemistry of ground water and surface water to study their relation ship with health problems DST NRDMS HEALTH GIS Project Water Quality & Health 1.Impact of Waterbourne diseases Waterbourne diseases have significant impact on National and International economy. Infected people are usually, confronted with related costs and seldom with a huge financial burden. This is especially in less developed countries. Sri Vaidya Veera Raghavar, the Lord of medicine.

2. World Health Organization • classify the infections that predominantly transmitted through contact with or consumption of infected water as "waterbourne diseases". • It has estimated 3.6% of global population affected with daily  global burden for economy, as, it causes about 1.5 million human deaths annually.

3. Monitoring and Managing Water bornE diseases at Thiruvallur Tamil Nadu using Geo spatial techniques • Impact of Waterbourne diseases • Waterborne diseases have significant impact on National and International economy. Infected people are usually, confronted with related costs and seldom with a huge financial burden. This is especially in less developed countries. • Long before modern studies established, any advanced understanding of the nature of water as a vehicle, for transmitting disease, traditional beliefs had cautioned against the consumption of water, rather favouring processed beverages such as beer, wine and tea.

4. When camel caravans crossed Central Asia along the Silk Road, the explorer • , Owen Baltimore noted,"The reason we drank so much tea was because of the bad water. Water alone, un-boiled, never drunk as it causes blisters on the feet."

5. 58% Financial Burden • Out of this 58% of that burden, i.e., 842,000 deaths per year, because of unsafe water supply, sanitation and hygiene as pathogenic microorganisms are commonly transmitted in contaminated, fresh water while bathing, washing, drinking, preparation of food or consumption of infected food.

6. Loss to family The financial losses are mostly costs for medical treatment and medication, costs for transport, special food, and by the loss of wages and manpower. Many families may even sell their land to pay for treatment in a proper hospital. On an average, a family spends about 10% of the monthly household’s income per person infected.

9. The HiruthaapanasanaTheertham, the biggest tank, • It has two temple tank float festivals on Full moon day of Thai Tamil month ( Jan- Feb ) end of winter season and in • Chitra pournami, Full Moon day in Mid summer (April and May). • The winter season known vector and water borne deceases due to impounded water in agricultural lands and water bodies. • On festival season of two months in summer people have to take preventive measures from sun stroke, virus fevers of small pox chicken pox and apart from water bourn deceases

10. Thiruvallur 5000 year old town • Tiruvallur is a First Grade municipality on the banks of Coouvam river about 42 km (26 mi) northwest of Chennai i, India which is also the District Headquarters • It is an ancient town linked with with 5000 year mythological history in Kaliyuga and recorderd history of about 2000 years • It is one of the 108 DivyaDesams sacred shrines for Vaishnavites and Sri VaidhiyaVeeraragavar to protect people by curing all deceases.

11. Coouam –Kakkalur PROJECT area • The water drains from Coouvam River to Kakkalur lake • All houses depends on septic tanks • The aquifer near Coouvam river is less contaminated than the area near Kakkalur which has clay and sand stone and water is not fit for drinking

12. Perumppakkam lake filled up 1st Dec 2015 , Thiruvallur court complex surrounded by floods The wetlands above the lake have become housing colonies and blocking natural drains The flood water was source for Dengue and other mosquitoes The septic tanks filled up and sewerage was mixing with flood water and a source of infection water Bourne diseases

26. The area near the temple have street house with narrow lanes without trees, dusty and affected by high intensity population and vehicles and summer diseases high in the area because of dense assembly of devotees on same day. • The Thiruvallur bus stand, hotels, food shops Markets make high solid waste and also civic issuses when temperature is above 35 to 45 degrees in summer. • The southern area like Poonganagar and new colonies are 1500 sq plots with compounds with street drains. But many vacant plots Ponds and tanks are potential source of Dengue as clean water is retained in pits, gardens and vegetation.

34. EVACUATION SYSTEM ANALYSIS FOR MITIGATION OF PREDICTABLE DISASTERS • AkichikaIshibashi@, JanakiramanKumar#ofJaoan have observed that Predictable disasters such as land-slides, floods account for majority of natural disasters in the Asian region causing heavy loss of life and property every year. Demand for land is increasing and people are opted to live in flood prone areas resulting in heavy casualties during a calamity. Land exploitation in a watershed would further intensify the consequences by heavy soil washout, and alarming amount of mudflows in the floodplain is threatening the human lives. Non-structural measures like forecasting, warning and evacuation are essentially becoming important to reduce the loss of life and property to offset the marginal success with structural measures. This paper discusses a new strategy developed by us for assessment of Evacuation System, one of the non-structural disaster mitigation measures. Detailed GIS database consisting of topography, roads, houses and evacuation center was created. Considering the household distribution, proximity to evacuation centers and road network capacities, assignment and routing were carried out. Estimates of evacuation time and congestion were obtained through traffic simulation and ways to improve the evacuation system are highlighted. Creating effective non-structural mitigation measure, by means of designing efficient evacuation systems and coupling it with low cost “Hinomiyagura” observation towers, was also discussed for the case of Nepal.
