Delta farmers press for effective water management Updated: Updated: They hail decision to release water from Mettur dam on June 12 Share Article They hail decision to release water from Mettur dam on June 12 Representatives of the Cauvery delta farmers have welcomed Chief Minister M.K. Stalin’s decision to release water for irrigation from the Mettur dam on the scheduled date of June 12. But they have called for efficient water management to see them through the paddy cultivation seasons this year. The farmers, who are getting ready for the ‘kuruvai’ cultivation, have urged that desilting in the delta districts be completed before the water flows through the Grand Anicut into the Cauvery, the Vennar and the Grand Anicut Canal.

Desilting will delay water release for Kuruvai crop: farmers

THANJAVUR Farmers in delta districts are a worried a lot as many say they see indications for delay in opening of shutters of Stanley Reservoir well beyond the scheduled date of June 12. The farmers, at the outset, were hopeful that their views would be factored in by the government for deciding on the water release schedule for Kuruvai and Samba cultivation while attending a recent meeting attended by senior State Ministers. However, the farmers were a little disappointed when they were told at the meeting that the decision on the date of the opening of Mettur dam would be finalised and announced by the Chief Minister M.K.Stalin on a later date.
