 Water, one’s basic requirement, is the need of the hour and with failing monsoons year after year we have to solve the crucial problem by conserving rain water. Of course, we are still awaiting the rains but let us be prepared when the occasion demands it. We have no choice but to adopt better water management techniques, such as, harvesting of rain water, recharging the underground aquifers, construction of underground tables in rivers to recharge wells, borewells, ponds, etc. Instead of just depending on the government for this crisis to be solved, let us as citizens do our might to safeguard our basic interests and store the diminishing commodity.

The simple technique of Rainwater Harvesting is to save and store the water running off from a roof and using it for indoor needs. Artificial recharge is a process of augmenting the underground water table by artificial infiltration of rainwater and surface run off. Studies show that the ground water table level is depleting alarmingly due to excessive tapping of underground water. The pace of development and the ever-increasing population in urban areas has led to the over exploitation of available water resources. Therefore, artificial recharge is very essential.

After the Successful implementation of RAINWATER HARVESTING, Chennai city has not suffered water scarcity.

The Veeranam project,[1] for supply of water to Chennai, was conceived in 1967 by the then Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, C. N. Annadurai, and executed under his successor M. Karunanidhi. The project was subject to rampant corruption and money earmarked for the project was lost leading to stagnation of the project. The project's completion in 2004 was a major political victory for the AIADMK government of the time due to the project's long history of corruption and politicking. Ironically it was impossible to use any water from the lake since it had run dry, and the face saving proposal adopted by the authorities was to dig 45 deep borewells around the area and pump the resulting water 235 kilometers to Chennai via the pipeline[2]. The new direction that the project took was heavily criticized by local farmers and conservationists who feared that the depletion of the ground water resulting from the mammoth bore wells would ring the death knell for the already suffering local agriculture, and the flora and fauna of the region. Veeranam Lake was created during Chola period in the tenth century, built from 1011 to 1037 AD[3] and is an 16 km (10 mile) long dam in northern Tamil Nadu.This veeranam lake gets water from kollidam via vadavar river.
