PREFACE
 This annual report is divided into three parts, each part dealing with some or otherfacet of River Metamorphosis due to Human Intervention. Part I dwells at moderatelength to present a perspective of the main theme. Part Ii describes the various
components of the research programme designed for implementation in the Neyyar
basin. A format field and laboratory procedures and methodologies for base-
linedata
-capture, processing and analysis have also been discussed in the secondpart. The last part presents the investigators report for the first year of the study.
Indeed the first year did not provide sufficient research time to be solely devoted for
work, as several items of preparation for implementation of the researchprogramme naturally formed part of the first years activity. Lastly, I myself wouldconcur that with a very modest number of diagrams and other data formats this
report will make a monotonous reading even for the novice.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
 
Whatever contained in this anthology of the Project on RiverMetamorphosis due to Human Intervention would not have been possibleto achieve, had not the expert group assisting the DOEn, in selecting, andscrutinizing proposals for research, realized and recognized thesignificance of the problem and the need for research into it. Publishedworks by Profs. Ian Douglas, Stan Schumm, Kenn Gregory and Chris Parkhad always spurred my thinking and approach in the intriguing field offluvial geomorphology. However, I am solely responsible for the lapses, ifany. Virtually the achievements reflected in this report are partly the resultof a group of young dedicated staff assisting me in the field and in thelaboratory. The University of kerala generously helped me in theimplementation of the project, by adopting a maverick approach in respect
of sponsored projects implemented in the departments of the University.
