11 waterbodies between Mamallapuram and Kadapakkam to be revived
In an effort to minimise salinity ingress in the city’s coastal areas, Environmentalist Foundation of India (EFI), a voluntary organisation, will take up work to restore more fresh waterbodies close to estuaries this year.
There are plans to revive nearly 11 waterbodies between Mamallapuram and Kadapakkam with the State government’s approval. The waterbodies to be restored include those in Vengampakkam near Kalpakkam, Kadalur Chinnakuppam, Paramankeni, Kodapattinam, Adayalacheri and Kadapakkam.
While the EFI has taken up a mix of projects from small ponds adjacent to the highway roads to large farm feeding lakes, the organisation has turned focus on the waterbodies near the estuaries as they are the final frontier of freshwater sources.
