WRD begins work to drill exploratory wells in Minjur belt for a pilot study on groundwater mapping

The wells will be sunk in Siruvakkam, Murichambedu and Akkarambedu villages to facilitate better understanding of the hydrogeological formations of the study area. The coastal stretch of Minjur, affected by seawater intrusion and groundwater over-extraction, has been chosen to implement the demonstration project on ‘Managed Aquifer Recharge’
