Veeranam Lake
Veeranam Lake(Veeranaaraayanapuram Lake) is located SSW of Chidambaram in Cuddalore district in the state of Tamil Nadu in South India. from Sethiyathope. The lake located from Chennai, India, is one of the water reservoirs from where water is planned to be supplied to Chennai.
The Veeranam project, to supply water to Chennai, was conceived in 1967 by the then Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, C. N. Annadurai, and executed under his successor, M. Karunanidhi. The project was subject to rampant corruption and money earmarked for the project was lost leading to stagnation of the project. The project's completion in 2004 was a major political victory for the AIADMK government of the time due to the project's long history of corruption and politicking. Ironically it was impossible to use any water from the lake since it had run dry, and the face-saving proposal adopted by the authorities was to dig 45 deep borewells around the area and pump the resulting water to Chennai via the pipeline. While the new direction the project took was heavily criticized by local farmers and conservationists fearing depletion of the ground water resulting from the borewells, the fears have been unfounded and for the most part the lake and the surrounding borewells have been able to provide between 50 - 180 mld(million litres daily)〔http://ibnlive.in.com/news/city-to-get-180-mld-of-water-from-veeranam-lake/168867-60-122.html〕
