	Theme — Ground Water
		The Adyar river flows across the Chennai city and is heavily polluted by means of municipal and industrial waste waters.
		Correlation analysis between river and groundwater suggest that the contamination of groundwater at many places towards downstream might be due to the pollution of river by a few point sources like outlets from industrial units and untreated sewer drains from human settlements located in the upstream areas.
		Need of the hour is to study the data and reports of various agencies to locate the areas prone to such ground water pollution, so that the ground water is protected and developed in a sustainable way to serve the coming generation also.

	Mr. Peters and the Goddess - by H.P.Blavatsky -
		The river Vaigai, on the southern shore of which the City of Madura is situated, belongs to the number of so-called antarvahini nadi, that is, to the rivers which flow underground from their source to their outlet into the sea; in short, to the subterranean streams.
		Even during the season of the monsoons, when the environs are flooded with torrential rains and the river overflows its banks, the river bed dries up in three or four days and only its rocky bottom remains.
		The result was, rain came in torrents on the predicted day, the river was inundated, shutting out all passage and washing away much valuable timber, and compelled him to live most miserably in an improvised log-hut on the most elevated part of the islet for several days.
