8.IRRIGATION PRACTICES
Cuddalore district is at the tail end of the Cauvery delta region. Parts of the
district get water from the irrigation canals that bring water from Mettur dam.
Ground water from Neyveli mines also provides irrigation coverage to crops.
According to a rough estimate, 60% of the farms are dependent solely on
rainfall and the rest have access to irrigation/ground water pumps. In
Cuddalore district, 592 tanks, 270 canals and one major reservoir serve as the
main source for irrigation. Wellington reservoir is the major reservoir in
Thittagudi Taluk and Veeranam tank is the major irrigation source in
Chidambaram and Kattumannar Koil Taluks. In Cuddalore taluk, Perumal
Lake is the major surface irrigation source. Generally, for Agriculture purpose
maximum amount of available water resource are utilized though minor
irrigation schemes. The surface flow in the rivers can be observed only during
monsoon periods. The deficient monsoon rainfall has affected the flow of
surface water into reservoirs, anaicuts, lakes etc. Hence under these
circumstances the agriculturists have to totally depend upon an alternative
source i.e., ground water to meet their irrigation requirement. The south
eastern part of this district is coming under Cauvery ayacut, irrigated by the
lower Anaicut-Vadalur Veeranam-Perumal tank irrigation system.

once a port town, the shipping trade has now moved to larger centers.
Tamilnadu’s development plans for the area include a heavily subsidized
industrial park, SIPCOT Industrial Complex, under the auspices of the State –
owned corporation State Industries Promotion Corporation of Tamil Nadu
Limited. SIPCOT was formed in 1975 near the coastal areas of Cuddalore. to
promote small medium and large scale industries in “backward” area by
providing a host of incentives and infrastructure for industries to locate in
certain areas. The Cuddalore industrial complex is a home to a number of
chemical, biotech, pharmaceutical and fertilizer companies. A new harbuor for
ship building industry is under construction Further Cuddalore district hosts
energy industries and also has got strong base on handicrafts industries.
Traditional handicrafts units are spread over across the district. Cashews,
cashew kernel, organic chemicals, marine products, ceramics and jeweelries
are exported to other countries.
There are 2 Private sugar factories at Nellikuppam and Pennadam and one
co-operative Sugar mill at Sethiathope. These factories are not only producing
Sugar but also produce rectified spirit and carbonic gas. E.I.D. PARRY
Company Ltd,Nellikuppam is producing confectionary.
Ceramic factories at Vridhachalam and Vadalur are producing crockery
and Sanitaryware. A huge refinery unit is also proposed by private sector.
20. NLC POWER PLANT
Neyveli Lignite Corporation (NLC) a public sector enterprise was incepted in
the year 1956. The main core activity of NLC is lignite excavation and power
generation using lignite excavated. NLC is having lignite mining units named
as Mine I, Mine II, and Mine IA Neyveli. Also raw lignite is being sold to small
scale industries to use it as fuel in their production activities. It is presently
mining 242.27 Lakhs MT of lignite and has an installed capacity of 3000 MW
Thermal electricity and 10 MW Solar Power electricity. It also supplies a large
quantity of sweet water to Chennai from the artesian aquifers in the lignite
mines. All the southern states are beneficiaries of this power generation
project. NLC is pioneer among the public sector under takings with complex
industries under its fold. The other constituents units of the company are
fertilizer plant and Briquetting and Carbonization plant. Briquetting and
carbonization plant at NLC produced coke from lignite which is sold under the
popular trade name LECO. The coke produced in the plant is extensively used
in the industrial sector by virtue of its special properties. NLC has well-
developed township in Neyveli in the district.
21. DISASTER VULNERABILITY
Cuddalore has always been classified as a multi-hazard prone district.
Cyclones and flood have wreaked havoc in the district several times in the past
few centuries. The District also falls within the Zone-3 with respect to
earthquakes. A part of the problem owes its genesis to the location of the
district. The District has a long coastline and therefore the district is vulnerable
to the cyclonic depressions and the resultant rains which cause floods. The
Bay of Bengal experiences severe tropical cyclones during North East Monsoon
[October through December]. The cyclone surges are well known for their
destructive potential and impact on human activities due to associated strong
winds along the coast and heavy rainfall. An added risk factor is that large
parts of the coastal zone are low lying and with a gentle slope, resulting in large
inundation, and therefore increased vulnerability of the region. The district
suffers from flooding when excess water flows down the local rivers and over
the field due to northeast monsoon rains in the district . The drainage is poor
and the encroachments over the drought years have led to a scenario where
even rainfalls, which are slightly above normal causes floods disrupting the
normal course of work. Along the coast of Tamil Nadu, the Nagapattinam–
Cuddalore region experienced the worst impacts of the Tsunami surge and
inundation caused by the great Sumatra Earthquake on 26th December 2004.
The surge heights of waves along this coastal region were of the order of 2-5
to3-3m, with inundation distances between 330 and 1,680 m into the
hinterland. The devastation caused by the Tsunami has left coastal lands
flattened and billions of dollars worth infrastructure, economic assets and
materials were devastated. According to the official statistics, the proportion of
human toll among women was three times more than men in Cuddalore
district. It had severe impact on coastal fishing communities in Cuddalore
destroying houses, boats, fishing gear agricultural land and salt pans wiping
out the livelihoods of millions of people. Subsequently, Cyclonic Storm Thane
was the strongest tropical cyclone of 2011 with in the North Indian Ocean.
Thane made landfall, on the north Tamil Nadu coast between Cuddalore and
Puducherry and left at least 39 people dead in Cuddalore district.
Nisha in 2008 and Cyclone Thane in December 2011 created surge
heights of waves between 1 and 5m.
