History Kasaragod is the northern most district of the State and was formed on the 24th May, 1984. The Ancient Tamil Works of Sangam Age records that the area
covering the district was part of Poozhinad which comprises of the coastal belt
from Calicut to Mangalore. Politically the area was part of the Ezhimala Kingdom
with its Capital of Ezhimala. The most famous King of Ezhimala was Nannan
whose Kingdom extended up to Gudalur and northern parts of Coimbatore. The
Mooshaka Kings were considered descendants of Nannan. By the 14th century,
Mooshaka Kingdom was known as Kolathirinad and the Rulers as Kolathiris. The
Kolathunad Kingdom at the peak of its power reportedly extended from
Kasaragod in the north to Korapuzha in the south with Arabian Sea on the west
and Kutakumala on the eastern boundary.
It covered the principalities of Kumbla, Nileswaram, Kottayam (Malabar)
and Kadathanad. Of these Kumbla and Nileswaram are in Kasaragod district. At
the end of Mysore War (1799), the area along with other parts on the West Coast
came under British control. In February 1800, Lord Wellesley deputed Dr.Francis
Buchanan, a Medical Officer of the English East India Company to undertake a
journey and report the conditions prevailing in Mysore and other neighbouring
countries which were ceded to them by the Sreerangapattanam Treaty.
The British Government pensioned off the Kumbla and Nileswaram Rajas
in 1804 and consolidated their position. On the 16th April, 1862 South Canara
district was made part of Madras Presidency for administrative convenience and
Kasaragod taluk, comprising the areas now falling under Kasaragod district, was
formed in place of Bekal taluk. This set up continued even after independence till
the Reorganisation of State in 1956 when Kasaragod taluk was added to Malabar
district and included in Kerala State.

In 1921 a branch of the Home Rule League was established at Hosdurg,
though it was short lived. In the last week of October 1927, Mahatma Gandhi
passed through the area on his way to Mangalore. Swaraj day was celebrated at
Kasaragod and Kanhangad on 26th January, 1930. The Quit India Movement
also had its repercussions in the district. When Kerala State was formed in 1956,
Kasaragod taluk was included in the State attach in it with Malabar district. Later,
Kasaragod taluk was split into Kasaragod and Hosdurg taluks and included in
Kannur district when Malabar district was divided into Kannur, Kozhikode and
Palakkad districts on the 1stn January 1957. This position continued till the
24th May 1984 when the present Kasaragod district was formed.

METEOROLOGY
Meteorology is the interdisciplinary scientific study of the atmosphere.
Meteorology, climatology, atmospheric physics and atmospheric chemistry are
sub-disciplines of the atmospheric sciences. Meteorology and hydrology
compose the interdisciplinary field of hydrometeorology. Interactions between
Earth's atmosphere and the oceans are part of coupled ocean-atmosphere
studies. Weather information and forecasts are of vital importance to many
activities like agriculture, aviation, shipping, fisheries, tourism, defense, industrial
projects, water management and disaster mitigation. Keralas climate condition is
divided into four seasons viz Winter, Summer, South-West monsoon and
North-East monsoon.
Diversity of physical features results in corresponding diversity of climate
in this district. District experiences South-West monsoon from June to September
and North-East monsoon from October to November. The South-West monsoon
starts towards the end of May or the beginning of June, heralded by thunder
storms and stays till September when the rain fed out. Actual rainfall of the
district is 2721.3 mm and Normal rainfall is 3007.5 mm during South-West
monsoon rainfall. There will be some rainfall in North-East monsoon during
October and November. Actual rainfall of the district is 363.4 mm and Normal
rainfall is 334.3 mm during North-East monsoon rainfall. Relative humidity is
more during the month of March to May and is less during December and
January. Generally March, April months are hottest and December, January are
coldest. The average maximum temperature is 31.20C and minimum 23.60C.

between 7405154 to 7502559 East longitude. To its North and East lies the
State of Karnataka while to the South is Kannur distict of Kerala and to the West
is Lakshadweep Sea. Ariyakaduva, Chandragiri, Payaswami and Shiriya rivers
are West flowing and form the main drainage system. The drainage pattern is
dendritic to subdendritic.
GEOLOGY
The district is broadly divisible into five geological belts: 1) Southern
charnockitic rocks which extends further South 2) Northern gneiss 3) A syenite
pluton in the central part 4) Isolated cappings of sedimentary rocks (Warkalli
Formation) confined to the coastal tract and 5) Quaternary sediments of the
coastal plain.
The district forms a part of the Precambrian metamorphic shield, major
part of which is occupied by Archaean rocks. Along the western margin, patches
and isolated cappings of Warkalli Formation and low-lying Quarternary alluvial
deposits are seen. Both the Archaean and the tertiary rocks have been intensly
lateritised. The important basement rocks in the area belong to Khondalite
Group, Charnockite Group, Wyanad Schist Complex and Peninsular Gneissic
Complex. The Khondalite Group, comprises quartz-graphite schist, quartz-
feldspar-garnet-sillimanite schist and associated amphibolite with abundant
flakes of graphite and it occurs as bands and lenses within hornblende-biotite
gneiss. The predominant rock in the South is charnockite. The other member of
Charnockite Group, namely hornblende granulite, has limited outcrops near
Mullaria. Quartzo feldspathic gneiss of Peninsular Gneissic Complex is the major
- 39 -
rock in the North and it is foliated. Along the East, rocks of the Wyanad Group,
comprising fuchsite quartzite, garnetiferous quartzite and quartzite are exposed.
They occur as vestiges within high-grade gneiss and charnockite. An anorthosite
massif occurs along the southern border of the district, a major part of the massif
is in the adjacent Kannur district. It is emplaced into pyroxene granulite/
charnockite. Around Angadimogar, a large syenite pluton is emplaced, which
varies in colour from pink to grey. Both varieties are medium to coarse grained
and lack foliation. There is a granite body east of Badiaduka which is in the form
of perched blocks and tors. Numerous dolerite dykes trending, NNW-SSE
traverse the older rocks. In the West the basement rocks are unconformably
overlain by Late Tertiary (Neogene) sedimentary rocks, the Warkalli Formation,
which is sporadically distributed. It comprises impersistent and alternating beds
of grit, sandstone, clay and carbonaceous clay with or without lignite.
Occasionally a pebble bed is also noticed. Laterite is a major lithounit of the
district, covering all the rock formations except the Quarternary. It is hard,
ferruginous and bauxitic at places. Its thickness varies from 5 to 15 m.
Unconsolidated Quaternary sediments, mostly comprising sand or admixture of
sand, silt or clay occupy the coastal plain and valley floors. They have been
classified into different units based on their environment of formation,
morphological character and lithic content. They are palaeo-marine deposits
(Guruvayur Fromation), fluvial deposits (Periyar Formation), fluvio-marine
deposits (Viyyam Formation) and beach and barrier beach deposits
(Kadappuram Formation).
GEOMORPHOLOGY AND GEOHYDROLOGY Broadly the district is divisible into three physiographic zones; the coastal plain to the West, the midland region and the high hills forming foothills of the
Western Ghats to the East. A number of palaeo-beach ridges are suggestive of
- 40 -
marine regression. The coast at Bekal is rocky, whereas West of Uduma and
Melparamba it is cliffed, exposing the Warkalli Formation. At Kasaragod, there is
a well developed beach. The midland region is being denuded. The terrain is
characterized by flat topped or gently rolling laterite-capped upland, laterite
mesas and laterite interfluves, dissection of which has led to the development of
narrow flat-bottomed valleys. The mesas and laterite flats are remnants of a
former extensive pediplain. The high hills in the East are structural and
denudational, with steep hills and narrow summits. The terrain in general is
rugged. The high peaks in the area are situated South of Perathodi and at
Mozhakkavalli. Chandragiri is the major river draining the district. Karymkote
River drains the southern part of the district. The area receives good rainfall,
300-350 cm annually. Because of the sloping terrain and impermeable basement
rocks, major part of the rainwater goes as runoff. From the point of view of yield
of groundwater, the area can be divided into four zones; a) the coastal tract with
alluvium is a highly potential aquifer. Depth to water is 0.5 to 3 m and the yield is
upto 50 lp s. The area is suitable for filter point wells and dug wells. b) The
midlands with laterite cover are suitable for dug wells. Depth to water is between
5 and 20 m below the ground level. The valleys are potential aquifers. c) Areas
underlain by thin laterite cover or weathered zone. The valleys and topo-lows are
good for open wells. Bore wells are feasible along fractures but are site specific.
d) Foot hills and highly undulating terrain exposing basement rocks or with thin
soil cover. The terrain can rarely sustain domestic wells. Fractures are potential
zones and bore wells are site specific.
