In the middle of the usual complaint that water on the case does not reach areas at the end of the tail, agricultural operations during the culture season Kurvai increase dynamics. About 3.09 Lakh acres were available against the target of 5.7 lakh acres in the Cauverry Delta, according to information available to the Ministry of Agriculture.
A few days ago, the Secretary General of Aiadmk Edapadi K. Palaniswami issued a statement that held the DMK regime responsible for the fact that the flow of water cause to the tail system in the state had passed, although 20 days have passed since the Mettur dam was opened.
Tiruvarur, Muthupet, Kottur and Thiruthuraipoondi Panchyat trade unions in the Tiruvarur district; Thalainayar and Vedaranyam from the Nagapattinam district; And the Peravurani, Pattukottai and Madukkur from the Thanjavur district were areas where farmers were unable to take over the transplant due to lack of water. So far, the state government has not responded to his statement. The complaint, regardless of this time, is about 60,000 hectares higher than what was last year. Even in regions outside the Cauvera Delta, the performance of the current year was better.
The main reason for the impressive presentation of the current year is the relatively convenient storage of irrigation tanks. For further illustrations, such as 4 July (Friday), it was storage of 90 tanks, for which they are available in water resources departments, about 183 thousand million cubic tracks (TMCFT), approximately 81% aggregated capacity of all dams. As for the mettur dam, the Cauvera Delta rescue line, almost all the tide is released into the river because the dam is close to the edge.
Last year, the same day, the dam was stored about 12 TMCFT, while on Saturday morning it had 93 TMCFT, barely half TMCft shortly from the full capacity of 93.47 TMCft. About 32,000 cubic tracks per second (CUSECS) were released into the river.
In June, Tamil Nadu realized 42.25 TMC FT Kausery water compared to a quota of 9.19 TMC FT, measured at an interstate point in Biligndl. This was the highest amount received by the state of the lower Ripaal after the Supreme Court issued a judgment in February 2018.
Meanwhile, Delta farmers’ sections indicate that the government increases the range of acres instead of providing a Kurvai package for one acre for farmers and at the same time focusing on the necessary farmers.
