There was a lake in pallikaranai. This is the largest natural rainwater harvesting system in the region which is linked to the Bay of Bengal through a network of backwaters and outlets. This lake serves two important function — flood control in the hinterland areas and ground water recharge.
We also came to know that this lake was once home to 45 species of fishes, 10 species of frogs, 21 species of reptiles, 110 species of birds and 10 species of mammals.
While testing the samples of soil, air and water, revealed that a total of nine dangerous chemicals in the ambient air exceeded permissible limits and they are known to cause dangerous diseases.
Then the village community was called out and a team of students had put up a street play on pollution telling them that the future of this lake is in their hands.
The play highlighted the uses of the lake, causes and effects of pollution to the environment and the preventive measures to be taken to put an end to it.
