Siruthuli, in collaboration with the Rotary Club of Coimbatore Central, launched the rejuvenation of Kurichi Anicut with a Bhoomi Pooja on Sunday.
The day began with a Noyyal River Walk, followed by the Bhoomi Pooja, which was attended by S. V. Balasubramaniam, Chairman, Siruthuli; Vanitha Mohan, Managing Trustee, Siruthuli; Manojkumar, President of the club; Subramanian, Convenor, Water Watch; Elangovan, author; and Rtn. Aruna Thangaraj, Secretary of the club. Representatives of the Rotary Club, Siruthuli members, Corporation officials, stakeholders and supporters were also present.
Following the restoration of Pudhukadu Anicut and Kil Chithirai Chavadi Anicut, the initiative is expected to further strengthen the Noyyal’s traditional water-management system.
The project will improve water retention, groundwater recharge, agricultural productivity and water quality, directly benefiting 509 ayacut acres. It will also address sewage flow in the feeder channel leading to Kurichi Tank, helping ensure that cleaner water reaches the tank.
