AAA Residents and voluntary organisations in southern suburbs are seeking more water recharging structures instead of a storm-water drain network to mitigate the pollution of waterbodies.
Residents and NGOs are making efforts to prevent pollution of the Selaiyur and Sembakkam lakes. In most localities, the storm-water drain network often carry polluted water to the lakes. Residents of Karthik Avenue, Chitlapakkam, had lodged complaints with the Tamil Nadu Pollution Control Board on the release of sewage into the Sembakkam lake and the dumping of plastic waste.
Eco Society India, an NGO involved in environment conservation, has been sensitising residents of the localities around Selaiyur lake to the importance of source segregation and greywater recycling as part of its efforts at restoring the lake.
