		The continued inter-state water dispute that deprives the Cauvery delta of its share of freshwater for agriculture has made farmers to either sell or convert their prime agriculture lands for aquaculture.
		On the other hand, in the Chennai and Pondicherry regions, the groundwater is largely over exploited mainly for drinking purposes.
		It must be mentioned that the Chennai city depends almost entirely on monsoon for its drinking water supply and hence during periods of drought, the dependency on groundwater expands to proportions that cause both deterioration in the amount of water availability and its quality.
