Coimbatore : Tamil Nadu is far ahead in implementing the rainwater harvesting systems compared to other States, the minister for Municipal Administration Minister, S P Velumani said today.

This has led to rising of ground water level across the State both in municipal and corporation areas, Velumani said.

City Corporation.

Recalling that former chief minister, Jayalalithaa was instrumental in launching various schemes for rejuvenation of ground water and also conservation, he said that similar projects are continuing during the present AIADMK regime, including Smart City and Amrut projects for the purpose.
