Cauvery-Gundar river link work set to take off
The Hindu
Tamil Nadu is all set to launch its ambitious intra-State river linking project by building a canal from the Cauvery to the Vaigai and the Gundar. The massive project seeks to divert surplus flows from the Cauvery to the water scarce southern parts of the State.
Chief Minister Edappadi K.Palaniswami will lay the foundation stone for the first phase of the project at a function to be held at Kunnathur in Viralimalai taluk in Pudukottai district on Sunday. The first significant step towards the linking of the Cauvery and Gundar rivers was made with the commissioning of the barrage across Cauvery at Mayanur in Karur district in 2014.
