Thousands of farmers rely on the Vaigai River for irrigation in Madurai and Ramanathapuram districts. Samba season works usually start by August-September in areas that are directly irrigated by Vaigai water. As the water has not been released for the season, farmers in these areas are playing the waiting game while farmers in rain-fed areas have started final preparation works.
