The sale of water by the farmer to the water dealers in Chennai affects the local people as this water is for irrigation as well for drinking for them. So the agricultural crops, as well as people, suffer. Moreover, groundwater levels have dropped drastically.
- Local people can and should object to such exploitation of groundwater.
- The government on their part should restrict the use of groundwater by the individual farmers according to their needs and make strict laws against overuse.
