WRD to clear water hyacinth from Uyyakondan canal in city
The Water Resources Department in Tiruchi has initiated the tender process to clear water hyacinth from the historic Uyyakondan canal. The overgrowth, exacerbated by sewage pollution, threatens the water flow essential for local farmers and irrigation.
Why it matters
The canal is a critical irrigation lifeline for thousands of acres of farmland, and its maintenance is essential for regional food security and water management.
The Water Resources Department (WRD) would soon clear the lush growth of water hyacinth on the city stretch of the Uyyakondan canal.
The report provides a balanced view of government maintenance efforts alongside the grievances of local farmers and environmental concerns.
