under his successor M.KARUNANIDHI. The project was
been completed in 2004. It was impossible to use any
water from the lake since it had run dry and face-saving
proposal was been adopted by the authorities was to dig
45 deep borewells around the area and the pump
resulting water 235 km(146 miles) to chennai via pipeline.

LAKE
❖ Veeranam lake( veeranarayanapuram lake) is
located 14 km (8.7 miles) SSW in Cuddalore district,
Tamil Nadu in South India. It is located 1 km(0.62
miles) from lalpet and
235 km (146 miles) from Chennai. It is one of the
water reservoirs from water is supplied to Chennai
City. the lake has a capacity to store 1465 Mcft of
water. Though the level of veeranam lake as dipped

10. THE LIFE OF AQUATIC CREATURE IN
CHENNAI
❖ The selective fishing using kaccha valai (a special net used to catch
minute sea creatures) is on the rise in the stretch between palaverkadu to
alampara fort near Chennai since the annual seasonal movement of rare
sea species close to shore last month. At least 25 boats venture into sea
every day from various villages to catch rare sea snails, shells and
crustaceans, and each returns at 50 kgs of sea species. The catch
overloaded into private vans immediately and transported to nearby
processing units and they sell it illegally and get money for that after a
week.
❖ The fishes which are been sold illegally will be exported immediately to
the countries like China, Singapore, Malaysia.
❖ This leads to the extinction of the particular species and demand in the
natives
❖ There is no proper pisciculture to maintain the species for long time and
increase it in numbers
