Tamil Nadu is a culturally rich state in southern India. It is just as rich in terms of nature's bounty. The many parts of Tamil Nadu are rich in agricultural activities and this is primarily owing to the plenty of water resources available in the state. Though many more rivers and streams once existed in this beautiful state, today, only a few remain, continuing to support the growing population with its various needs. These water bodies are not just about beauty but are very vital to the way of life, they serve basic requirements such as drinking water, water for irrigation and even fishing.
