நீர்இன்று அமையாது உலகெனின் யார்யார்க்கும்
வான்இன்று அமையாது ஒழுக்கு
திருவள்ளுவர்
வாக்கு: (அதிகாரம்:வான் சிறப்பு குறள் எண்:20)
'நீர்இன்று
அமையாது உலகெனின்' என்ற பகுதிக்கு நீரின்றி இவ்வுலக அமைப்பு
இல்லை அதாவது நீர் இல்லாமல் உலகம் இயங்காது என்பது பொருள். 'அந்நீரோ, வானில்லாமல் இல்லை'
என்ற பொருளில் குறளின் இரண்டாவது பகுதி உள்ளது. அப்பகுதிக்கு 'மழையில்லாமல் நீர் கிடைக்காது
என்றால், தண்ணீருக்காக ஆற்றில் அணைகட்டி வாய்க்கால் வெட்டினாலும் சரி, மலைகளைக் குடைந்தும்,
அணைகள் போட்டும், கிணறு வெட்டியும், ஊற்றுநீர் தேடினாலும் சரி, இன்னும் பலவழிகளில்,
யார்யார் எப்படி முயன்றாலும் மழையில்லாவிட்டால் நீர் கிடைக்காது' என நீராதாரங்களில்
நீரின் வரத்து மழையில்லாமல் உண்டாகாது. நீர்
என்பதற்கு குணம் என்று பொருள் கண்டு 'உலக அமைதிக்கு நீர்மை அதாவது குணம் வேண்டும்;
மாந்தர் ஒழுக்கத்துக்கு ஊற்றாக மழை அமையும்' என இக்குறட்பொருளை விளக்குவார் திரு வி
கல்யாணசுந்தரனார்.
Rain is
liquid water in the form of droplets that have condensed from atmospheric water
vapor and then become heavy enough to fall under gravity. Rain is a major
component of the water cycle and is responsible for depositing most of the
fresh water on the Earth. It provides suitable conditions for many types of
ecosystems, as well as water for hydroelectric power plants and crop
irrigation.
Chennai
has no perennial rivers and every year the water crisis looms large over its
residents. After
long nervous and excruciating wait for
rains – this season Nature decided to
bless Chennai with good of rains. It has rained well .. .. and people are now
happy. The catchment areas of Poondi,
Cholavaram, Red Hills and Chembarambakkam reservoirs received good rain in the
past few days and the water storage levels are increasing rapidly. This means
good tidings for the city’s core area residents as Metrowater may continue
supply of piped water for another six months without exhausting its resources..
Chennai has fresh water reservoirs/lakes namely Poondi,
Sholavaram, Red Hills, Chembarambakkam and Veeranam cater the daily
needs of water for people of Chennai.
We have not heard of
this small village in Thiruvallur district – “Thervaay Kandigai” considered as the second largest village in
Thiruvallur district and it is also considered that the village has more
graduates than any other villages in Thiruvallur district. The village is about
50 km North of Chennai. Michelin has
built a tyre factory in Thervaay Kandigai. A Thervaay Kandigai Industrial Park too exists.
In Tamil Nadu after
the hate speeches, Vel Yatra has generated great interest and the entourage of
BJP President has seen massive crowds. Tamil Nadu unit of the BJP & the entire state machinery is gearing up to
welcome Union Home Minister and senior BJP leader Amit Shah to Chennai today.
During his visit, he is expected to inaugurate a few infrastructure projects in
Tamil Nadu, including laying the foundation stones for the Phase 2 of Chennai
Metro Rail and a flyover on Coimbatore-Avinashi road. More importantly, Mr Amit Shah will also declare a new reservoir open in the outskirts of
Chennai on Saturday. This reservoir, in Thervoy
Kandigai, will supply water
exclusively for the needs of the residents of Chennai. This will be the fifth major reservoir in the outskirts
of Chennai, after Poondi, Cholavaram, Redhills and Chembarambakkam.
The Thervoy Kandigai
reservoir has been constructed at a cost of Rs 380 crore and around 1,485 acres
of land was acquired by the government for this project. The project was
launched in 2013 and combines two lakes, Thervoy Kandigai and Kannankottai, in
Thiruvallur district. The project
came to a standstill within a year of its launch due to land acquisition
problems. The work resumed in 2018 and was expected to be completed in a year.
The reservoir will serve the drinking water needs of the residents of Chennai and will store water from river Krishna. The reservoir will receive Krishna water from a 8.6 km-long canal that will draw water from the Kandaleru-Poondi canal. Thervoy Kandigai reservoir will have a storage capacity of 1 tmcft of water, when filled twice a year. It will be able to supply 66 million litres a day (MLD) of water to Chennai city. With this reservoir, the combined capacity of all the five reservoirs in the outskirts of Chennai will be at 11.75 tmcft.
With the
commissioning of the Kannankottai-Therovy Kandigai reservoir on Saturday,
Chennai will get a dedicated reservoir for drinking water supply after a gap of
76 years. The
Satyamurti Sagar at Poondi, built across the Kosasthalaiyar
during 1940-44 at a cost of Rs.65
lakh, had the distinction of being the only storage point formed for water
supply to the city. It was named after Chennai Mayor S. Satyamurti (1939-40) in
recognition of his efforts to get the dam project implemented amid the Second
World War. On June 14, 1944, the then Governor of Madras Presidency, Arthur
Hope, declared open the reservoir.
Located about 50 km
from Chennai, the Kannankottai-Thervoy Kandigai reservoir, costing Rs.380 crore,
will store the Krishna water. This has been made possible through an 8.6-km
link canal, which will take off from the Kandaleru-Poondi canal. Through
two fillings, the new facility can store 1 thousand million cubic feet (tmc ft)
in a year. It will facilitate the supply of 66 million litres a day (MLD) to
the city. The reservoir will also supply water for irrigating 700 acres,
according to an official release.
Good news for Chennai
and Tamil Nadu .. #TNWelcomesAmitShah
