Today I read two ariticles in a Tamil magazine. Eventhough it was a old magazine today only I had a chance to read those articles. The magazine name is 'Pudiya Thalaimurai'
The first one is about the rescue work conducted by Indian army on Uttarakhand flood hit areas. The article described the situation at which the rescue work was conducted. The area is a hilly area, (the great Himalayas), due to the heavy flood the bridges were collapsed, roads were vanished. There is no proper route to reach the stranded people. But knowing that people are rendered homeless, without food and clean water for drinking, suffering by severe cold, the army people reached the suffering people (which is a himalayan task under that climatic situation) in minimum time, provided the people food and basic medicines and shifted them to the safest place. It was the one of the massive rescue work conducted by Indian army in the very bad climate. The army people least bothered about their life, (they lost choppers in the rescue work) saved more than 50,000 people.
Hats off to the INDIAN ARMY.
The second one is about building a underground sand storage dam. In Thiruvarur(Guruvadi village) the collecter had ordered to build a underground sand storage dam, which helps to improve the underground water level of that area. The result is, the underground water level is increased to 5 feet.
In Tamil Nadu the underground water level is going down very drastically due to the very poor rain fall in the last year. To improve the water level some measures has to be taken very urgently. Consulting agricultural department, water resource department, village administrative officers, the collecter had built this dam.' This is a starting one. Many such dams will follow ' says the officer.
It is a welcoming news, as frist step has been taken to preven the loss of underground water level.
The benefits of such dams are:

The benefits of such dams are:
- The cost of building such dams are very less.
- There is no maintance cost for such dams.
- Since the dam is underground, evoparation of water is less.
- It can be build using sand and availabe cement storage bags.
- It is eco friendly.
- It helps to improve the underground water level.
