INTRODUCTION 1.1. Project Description Government of Tamil Nadu is proposed to implement the World Bank supported Tamil Nadu Sustainable Urban Development Project (TNSUDP) to improve the drains of Cuddalore Municipality. The Cuddalore Municipality has expanded its area during 2016 by adding adjacent local bodies. Cuddalore Municipality city is divided in to 45 divisions / wards that are grouped in 4 zones. 1.2. Need for the project: The need for the project derived from the fact that the storm water drainage is a basic need and a yardstick for measuring infrastructure status in any ULB. The key catalyst that has necessitated the present study of the storm water drainage system is more fully presented below in the context of basic infrastructure up gradation: • Lack of drainage from the road network and improper disposal of storm water • Lack of provisions for proper drainage path or such paths have been blocked by buildings or being used by encroachers. • Lack of interconnectivity between the drains • Drains that are carriers of sewage envisaged as potential pollutants of classified waterbodies and poses health hazard • Piece meal construction of drains to suit emergency requirements during flooding • Deposition of solid wastes, silt and weed growth. • Irregular sections of drain/culvert. • Drains of inadequate carrying capacity • Lack of utilising Storm Waters for Ground Water Recharge • Lack of Rain Water Harvesting Methods for Open Catchments The existing drainage system of the Municipality is grossly inadequate to meet the growing demands of civic infrastructure needs, besides gaps in harnessing the recharge potential of the ground water through Rain Water Harvesting Systems (RWHS). For successful functioning of drainage system, it is the need of the hour to review the existing drainage system in the context of design aspect. In order to provide Storm Water Drains, a Detailed Project Report for the Cuddalore Municipality was prepared by M/s. Shah Technical Consultants (P) Ltd., Chennai. - Social Impact Assessment Report - 5 DPR for Integrated Storm Water Drains (SWDs) for Final Report Cuddalore Municipality 1.3. Profile of Cuddalore Cuddalore Town is the headquarters of the Cuddalore District in the South Indian State of Tamil Nadu. Scholars believe the name Cuddalore is derived from Koodalur, meaning confluence in Tamil. It has been a part of independent India since 1947. During the 2004 Indian Ocean Earthquake, Cuddalore was one of the worst affected towns, with 572 casualties. Apart from fishing and Port related industries, Cuddalore houses Chemical, Pharmacological and Energy industries in SIPCOT, an Industrial Estate set up by the State Government. The town is administered by a Special-Grade Municipality covering an area of 27.69 km2 and had a population of 173,636 in 2011. Cuddalore is a part of the Cuddalore Legislative Assembly Constituency which is a part of the Cuddalore Lok – Sabha Constituency. Roadways are the major means of transportation, while the town also has rail connectivity. Figure 1: Location of the Cuddalore Municipality From ancient times the old town has been a Seaport. Through the centuries, Cuddalore has been subject to a number of foreign powers including the Netherlands (Dutch), Portugal (Portuguese), France(French) and more recently, the British. In the early 17thcentury the Dutch obtained permission from the ruler of Cuddalore to build a Fort there, but political pressure from their Portuguese rivals forced them to abandon it. Later, the French and English came to Cuddalore for trade and business. The French established a settlement 10 miles up the coast at Pondicherry in 1674, followed in 1690 by the British settlement of Fort St. David at Cuddalore. - Social Impact Assessment Report - 6 DPR for Integrated Storm Water Drains (SWDs) for Final Report Cuddalore Municipality 1.4.

The rainfall during South-West Monsoon period is much lower than that of North-East Monsoon. The average rainfall is about 1,400 mm, most of which is contributed by the North-East Monsoon. 1.6. History of Cuddalore District During the 18thCentury various wars between the European powers spilled over to their colonial empires, and to their allies, including those in the Indian sub-continent. During this period the French and British fought several times in the area. In 1746, during First Carnatic War, part of the War of the Austrian Succession, French forces besieged the British at Fort St. David for several months before being driven off in 1747. In 1758, during the Seven Years' War, the Fort was taken by the French, and there was an inconclusive naval action, the Battle of Cuddalore, off the coast. The Fort was later abandoned, in 1760, when the British attacked Pondicherry. In 1782, during the Second Anglo-Mysore War, at the time of the American War of Independence, the French again took Cuddalore, and were besieged there in 1783 by the British. During the siege French and British naval forces again clashed off the Cuddalore coast. The siege failed, but the Fort was returned to the British in 1795. There were five different naval actions off the coast during this period, all of which were indecisive. - Social Impact Assessment Report - 7 DPR for Integrated Storm Water Drains (SWDs) for Final Report Cuddalore Municipality Some streets in Cuddalore retain their British names, such as Clive Street, Wellington Street, Sloper Street, Canning Street, Rope Street , Rope Street, Wellington Street, Sloper Street and Canning Street jointly known as Salangukara Village, Lawrence Road and Imperial Road.
