SPECIAL
CORRESPONDENT
Special
teams consisting of staff from revenue, police and minor irrigation
departments should be constituted to prevent the encroachment of
lakes/tanks and irrigation channels, said Additional Joint Collector
N. Ramesh Kumar.
Mr.
Kumar presided over meeting convened to discuss steps needed to
increase the speed of recharging groundwater in 36 villages in
Krishna district.
Ground
Water Deputy Director A. Varaprasad explained to the revenue,
irrigation and other department officials the need for steps to stop
overexploitation of groundwater and its quick recharge.
He
said 36 villages mainly in Nuzvid, Musunuru and Bapulapadu mandals
have been categorised as villages over exploiting ground water.
Mr.
Kumar said ground water was not getting recharged because of
indiscriminate use of natural resources.
The
encroachment of land in which there were water bodies or the channels
that feed them was the prime reason for the failure in the recharging
of the ground water.
