	DROUGHT AND DESPAIR
		In Dharmapuri district, trees, be they arecanut, coconut or mango, are drooped as if in death and the sand in the tributaries of the Cauvery, such as the Vennar, the Vettar, the Koraiyar, the Koozhaiyar and the Baminiar, and the south bank canal burns in the mid-day heat.
		Its intensity perhaps is best illustrated by the barren vastness in the heartland of the Cauvery delta region in the Vadapathimangalam division of Tiruvarur district and in thousands of acres of fertile land that are lying unused.
		In 2003, 11 districts, including Chennai, received deficient rainfall from the northeast monsoon, the deficiency ranging from 20 per cent to 54 per cent.
