Rejuvenation of Pandeswaram Lake to be completed by October

The Hindu  

The sprawling Pandeswaram Lake near Avadi is getting spruced up after years of neglect. The Water Resources Department, the Tiruvallur district administration and Environmentalist Foundation of India, a voluntary organisation, have joined hands to rejuvenate the lake. Besides being a source of groundwater recharge, the lake, with its improved storage capacity, can control floods in the downstream areas, the officials said. EFI founder Arun Krishnamurthy said the lake could provide water supply to the nearby municipal corporations. Rekha Ramu, Pandeswaram panchayat president, said the lake served as a source of irrigation in four panchayats, including Karlapakkam and Koduvalli, and has an ayacut area of about 170 hectares.
