Tamil nadu flood: Flood ravages Cauvery Delta
The heavy rains have once again caused flood in Tamil Nadu's Cauvery Delta region. This year round, the damage caused to the agricultural sector alone is in the tune of Rs. 1000 crore as thousands of acres of the cultivated land lie submerged. It may also result in steep shortage of rice in the near future.
This is a problem that haunts this region every year but the state government has not come up with a comprehensive solution to it so far. The flood is caused due to improper drainage and irrigation system. Sami. Natarajan, Thanjavur district secretary, Tamil Nadu Farmers Association, told TSI, “Rain water drainage system in the delta region is 150 years old and there is an immediate need to revamp it. Our requirement of water from the Cauvery is 250 TMC ft, but due to improper irrigation system 120 TMC ft of water flows unused into the sea every year.” He added that there are about 3,000 ponds in the delta region but they are either have been encroached upon or are not properly cleaned up at regular intervals. Thus the river water that should reach these ponds gets diverted to the agricultural lands. The total area of cultivated land in the delta region has also come down during the last few years. The Cauvery delta region consists of Trichy, Tanjore, Cuddalore and Nagapattinam districts and has three important rivers viz Cauvery and its tributaries Kollidam and Vennaru. But this region has very few dams, namely Kalanai in the east, Anaikarai in the west, and Mukkombu in the north. “More dams need to be constructed urgently in this region,” conceded Tamil Nadu Health Secretary V. K. Subburaj, who is assessing the quantum of damage caused by the flood, while talking to TSI. He informed that 12.5 lakh acres of the cultivated land has been affected by the flood.
