Artificial islands to be formed at Kavinadu Kanmoi near Pudukottai
The HinduWork of forming artificial islands at Kavinadu Kanmoi, one of the biggest irrigation tanks in Pudukottai district, has been taken up jointly by the Pudukottai district administration and Kadamadai Area Integrated Farmers Association. As a first step towards formation of artificial islands, removal of seemai karuvelam, an invasive species and weed, in the sprawling tank got under way on Wednesday with the work being inaugurated by Law Minister S. Regupathy and Environment Minister Siva V. Meyyanathan. The project was being implemented with technical guidance from the Tamil Nadu Green Climate Company, which had been set up by the State government to implement three key missions: Tamil Nadu Climate Change Mission, Tamil Nadu Wetland Mission, and the Green Tamil Nadu Mission. Removal of seemai karuvelam and silt would eventually help in increasing the water storage capacity and water spread in Kavinadu Kanmoi in the long run, Mr. Ashok Raja said.
