00:00This is the Kovai Pulsiya Neerparangal Amifu.
00:02According to Kovai,
00:04one of the most important lakes of Kovai is
00:06Chennaivadamatti Eri.
00:08This Chennaivadamatti Eri
00:10is an important lake
00:12with about 200 acres of land.
00:14It is said to be one of the most important
00:16lakes in the northern part of Kovai.
00:18According to this Eri,
00:20it was formed in the same period
00:22as the Neerthekkam.
00:24Recently,
00:26in this Eri,
00:28there was an announcement
00:30by the government
00:32that they will clean the water
00:34around the lake.
00:36This news is very shocking.
00:38This Chennaivadamatti Eri
00:40was formed
00:42with the aim
00:44to remove the
00:46flood damage
00:48that has occurred
00:50in Sanganoor Pallak
00:52in recent years.
00:54The people of Chennaivadamatti
00:56have been working hard
00:58to remove the flood damage.
01:00This Eri was formed
01:02with the aim
01:04to remove the flood damage
01:06that has occurred
01:08in Sanganoor Pallak
01:10in recent years.
01:12This Eri was formed
01:14with the aim
01:16to remove the flood damage
01:18that has occurred
01:20in Sanganoor Pallak
01:22in recent years.
01:24This Eri was formed
01:26with the aim
01:28to remove the flood damage
01:30that has occurred
01:32in Sanganoor Pallak
01:34in recent years.
01:36In this Eri,
01:38it was not planned
01:40to remove the flood damage
01:42that has occurred
01:44in Sanganoor Pallak
01:46in recent years.
01:48There are two main reasons
01:50for this Eri.
01:52The first reason is that
01:54the flood damage
01:56that has occurred
01:58in Sanganoor Pallak
02:00in recent years
02:02has been caused
02:04by the people of Chennaivadamatti.
02:06The second reason is that
02:08the flood damage
02:10that has occurred
02:12in Sanganoor Pallak
02:14in recent years
02:16has been caused
02:18by the people of Chennaivadamatti.
02:20Therefore, it is very important
02:22that the flood damages
02:24that have occurred
02:26in this Eri
02:28are managed properly.
02:30If the flood damage
02:32has been managed
02:34properly,
02:36it might cause
02:38a problem
02:40that could lead
02:42to a flood.
02:44Third,
02:46the flood damage
02:48The primary, secondary and tertiary irrigation systems are already in place.
02:56Primary and secondary irrigation systems are already in place.
03:00Another important thing is that we cannot see the Chennaivadametu area as other rivers.
03:06Because according to this project,
03:08if there is a big flood once every 3, 5 or 10 years, the water will be drained.
03:14But it is not like that in other rivers.
03:17If the water is already polluted, there are chances of it getting diluted.
03:24But in this area, there are no chances of it getting diluted.
03:28Another thing is that if the water is drained in this area,
03:32there are more chances of the water getting polluted.
03:36If we look at the usage of polluted water,
03:43whether it is mixed in the house or used in the kitchen,
03:51or even after the tertiary treatment is done,
03:53UV, RO, Ozone is done,
03:55even if the water is changed to drinking water,
03:58the water is used for drinking water.
04:01Or for the use of tall trees, or for the use of trees,
04:07it is being used for drinking water.
04:09It is being used for drinking water even in private houses.
04:11But to bring clean water and use it in a place,
04:15a proper decision has to be made.
04:18Even if this project is done properly,
04:20if the water gets polluted in the area,
04:22the chances of it getting polluted are very high.
04:26If the water gets polluted in that area,
04:28sediment will form.
04:29When the sun hits the area,
04:32the bacteria will increase.
04:34When the water gets polluted in that area,
04:37there is a risk of soil water getting polluted in the surrounding areas.
04:41If we bring clean water and use it in the area,
04:45if there is a heavy rain,
04:47the water will not be able to get into the area.
04:50The outlets and shutters are made for agricultural purposes.
04:54It is not used for agricultural purposes.
04:56But if you look at the area where the water gets polluted,
04:59there is a waterway up to the river bank.
05:01If the water gets polluted and stays there,
05:03the water will not runoff.
05:06Approximately 30 mcrp of water is going to get polluted in that area.
05:10If we bring 19 million litres of water in the area,
05:15and use it as good water,
05:20it will not happen.
05:23If we bring 19 ml of water in the area,
05:26it will get polluted in a month.
05:29Then we have to decide what to do with the water.
05:32This is a very important issue.
05:35After 30 years,
05:37we have seen a big change in the climate.
05:44If we pollute the water in this area,
05:49there will be no opportunity to pollute the water.
05:53After 30 years,
05:55we have seen a big change in the climate.
05:58In such a situation,
06:00if we use good water,
06:02there will be an opportunity to increase the groundwater level
06:05up to 25 km per year.
06:07But when this clean water scheme is implemented,
06:10there is no opportunity to bring in water.
06:13That is why,
06:15the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister,
06:17in his election speech,
06:19announced that the government will bring in water
06:23from the Bhavani river through a special scheme.
06:27The government's announcement itself,
06:30is very saddening.
06:32Already,
06:33the Abhinayaswamy scheme
06:35and the Srinivasa scheme
06:37have been jointly implemented.
06:39Such efforts are continuing.
06:42Also,
06:43two years ago,
06:45due to the big rainfall in Mandurai,
06:4840% of the water in this area was polluted.
06:52After 30 years,
06:54when there is an opportunity to bring in good water,
06:59we should not use that opportunity.
07:02The clean water scheme should not be tested.
07:05It should be implemented.
07:07We see this as a very important issue.
07:10The solution to this issue,
07:12is to bring in clean water
07:14from the run-off areas
07:16where the scheme has already been implemented.
07:20If the water is brought there,
07:22and the solution is implemented,
07:25it will definitely be a solution.
07:28But for this area,
07:30our demand is to bring in good water.
07:34That is how this area was created.
07:37When there is an opportunity to bring in good water,
07:41we should not use that opportunity.
07:44We should bring in good water
07:46from the run-off areas
07:48to bring in good water.
07:50This is what we want to say.
07:52What are the challenges
07:54that this area has faced?
07:56What are the challenges that this area has faced?
07:59As far as this area is concerned,
08:01this area and Rajavaikalam
08:03are located at a distance of 235 km.
08:06When this area was given to the people
08:09as part of the land acquisition scheme,
08:12the government came up with
08:14a very big water purification scheme.
08:17In such a situation,
08:19as far as this area is concerned,
08:21from Kanuvai to Rajavaikalam,
08:23the water should be brought
08:25from the Perumalai area
08:27in the Mandurai area.
08:29The water should be brought from there
08:31to this area.
08:33Two years ago,
08:35this area was being purified.
08:37In such a situation,
08:39the opportunity to bring in good water
08:41has been given to us.
08:43This is what we want to say.
08:45Did the people of this area
08:47participate in the purification
08:49of this area?
08:51If we look at the past 8 years,
08:53the people of this area
08:55have participated a lot
08:57in the purification of this area.
08:59Through that participation,
09:01the people of Rajavaikalam
09:03and this area
09:05have contributed a lot
09:07to the purification
09:09of this area.
09:11This is a great thing.
09:17My name is Kasinikanan.
09:19I am from Saravampatti.
09:21I have been living in this area
09:23for a long time.
09:25The water was available
09:27up to 700 to 800 feet.
09:29Two years ago,
09:31in Saravampatti,
09:33we were able to bring in
09:35good water.
09:37Now, the water level
09:39has increased.
09:41In the past years,
09:43the water level in this area
09:45has increased by half.
09:47In the past,
09:49there was a lot of
09:51damage to the mountain water.
09:53The damage was caused
09:55when the water level
09:57increased.
09:59The damage was caused
10:01to save the water level.
10:03The damage was caused
10:05for a good purpose.
10:07Now, we are worried
10:09that the damage
10:11caused by the district administration
10:13will affect the water level.
10:15We request the government
10:17to save the damage
10:19for a good purpose.
10:21This is a small village
10:23in Saravampatti.
10:25The water level
10:27is very good.
10:29There are about 100 species
10:31of birds here.
10:33There are about 100 species
10:35of birds here.
10:37There are about 100 species
10:39of birds here.
10:41There are about 3000 trees here.
10:43There are about 3000 trees here.
10:45The environment is good here.
10:47When we brought in the water
10:49that was available here,
10:51we did not know
10:53what would happen.
10:55It is really cold here.
10:57There are many houses
10:59surrounding theinge house in the central area of Coimbatore.
11:01There are many houses surrounding theinge house in the central area of Coimbatore.
11:03This water would be good
11:05for producing
11:07carbon emettsion.
11:09How would this water be
11:11if we used the water provided here?
11:13What request do you make to the government?
11:15Water from the welshore
11:17and ran river
11:19well should not be used here.
11:21The water from the well should not be used here.
11:23They trusted us and we have cleaned the area, so we will get water, and we will get good water.
11:28The first time they said that they will do it in the Adhikari-Avanasi project.
11:34The water will be good in the villages around here, in Chinnagadam and Nellattur.
11:42If there is clean water, it will be good.
