Thuvakkam is glad about the restoration of a lake in the Panchayat of Sethuppakam along with Cognizant The project entails Thuvakkam in restoring the 19 acre lake and creating an intervention by deepening the lake for another 5.5.ft. This would further increase the catchment capacity more than x3 times of the present with 2000 saplings planted on the bund. The project aims for a holistic community engagement throughout the project from the baseline, execution until the maintenance of the project. The water body would serve as a source for irrigation for the nearby farm lands, a source for domestic purposes and enhance aquatic life. #thuvakkam #cognizant #communitydevelopment #bluezone #waterrestoration  #communityengagement #lake

Meet Mrs. Govindammal fetching water from the Kalporuki Kanmai for her domestic needs. Since the recent outburst of the Northeast Monsoon several areas of the state had its Monsoon spell, including Ramanathapuram. People of that region heavily depend on surface runoff water to meet their daily needs due to lack of ground water aquifer. This was the time where Thuvakkam has been vigorously working on Project BlueZone in the water scarce region of Ramanathapuram in rejuvenating various water bodies such as water channel, ponds and lakes. Kalporuki Kanmai is one such lake where in Thuvakkam started its restoration of the 31.5 acres of the water body aiming to create 1 Lakh cu. m water storing capacity.
