The ground water level in this area seems to have risen and appreciably.
K. Ramachandran who resides near the ICICI Bank ATM here who had sunk rainwater wells in late 2019 says the water level is up to two feet below ground level.
Says this resident, “Now it is almost 4 feet below ground level and we are delighted about this. Also the quality of bore and well water have greatly improved after the rains.”
