  • Subsurface Dykes Across River Increase Groundwater Levels in Tiruvarur
    Subsurface dykes across river increase groundwater levels in Tiruvarur Subsurface dykes have been constructed on the upstream side of some rivers branching from River Cauvery in Tiruvarur district of Tamil Nadu with a view to increasing ground water levels. This was reported by the Jal Shakti Abhiyan (JSA) team that has been working with the district administration to put in place effective measures to conserve water in the water stressed region. A subsurface dyke is a structure that is built in an aquifer, with the intention of obstructing the natural flow of ground water; thereby raising the ground water level and increasing the amount of water stored in the aquifer. The JSA team comprised Central Nodal Officer (CNO) – Shri Piyush Srivastava, Additional Development Commissioner, M/o Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises, Delhi; Block Nodal Officer (BNO) - Shri U. K. Nair, Deputy Secretary, Ministry of Steel, Delhi and Technical Officer (TO) - Mr. Neeraj Kumar Sharma, Deputy Director, Central Water Commission, Department of Water Resources, River Development and Ganga Rejuvenation, Ministry of Jal Shakti, Delhi. The JSA team made 3 visits to Kodavasal Block, Agarathirumalan firka in Nannilam Block and Alangudi and Avoor firkas in Valangaimen Block in the southern district over the past 3 months (I visit – 11th to 13th July; II visit – 6th to 8th August; and III visit – 24th to 25th September, 2019). According to Mr. Neeraj Kumar Sharma, the Department of Rural Development and Panchayat Raj (DRD&PR) constructed a 35 metre long sub surface dyke across Kudamurthy River in Vadaver panchayat of Kodavasal Block. The project was implemented under MGNREGS using funds from the 14th Finance Commission and General Fund (2017-18) at an estimated amount of Rs.
