	The Hindu : Tamil Nadu / Chennai News : Rise in water table cheers people
		Though there is an impression that the Palar was full of water, it is actually the water drained by the Cheyyar that joins it at Palayaseevaram near Wallajahbad.
		The reason for the zero flow upstream from Palayaseevaram is water from the Palar Anaicut is diverted to fill up 317 tanks and lakes (including Kaveripakkam and Dusi Mamandur, among the biggest in Tamil Nadu) with a storage capacity of 10,000 million cubic feet.
		That Palar river is now bone dry despite the heavy rain in its catchment areas proved only that inlet channels draining water into this river all along its course were blocked or had completely vanished.

	:::CEERA::: - Farmers protest against exploitation of groundwater resources (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		VELLORE: The Ambalur Palar Groundwater Resources Protection Committee has protested against the continued exploitation by municipalities and village panchayats of the groundwater resources in the Palar close to the villages.
		The above villages were agriculturally prosperous about 40 years ago, when the Tirupattur municipality first dug a well in the Palar river, constructed a pump house on the river and extracted the groundwater resources from the river for supply to its residents.
		This was followed by similar attempts by other municipalities and industrial houses, which gradually led to the over-exploitation of the underground water resources and the drying up of the aquifers, which fed the agricultural lands for several centuries.
