UNBELIEVABLE: Crops in delta won t submerge during northeast monsoon | History Defined

The Tamil Nadu government on Saturday said samba crops in the Delta region would not submerge in water during the northeast monsoon as the preparation [to prevent it] had started much earlier. It said since Mettur dam was opened on June 12 and desilting works were carried out, water had reached the tail-end areas. Water will recede quickly during the monsoon because of the desilting works. A release said as the groundwater level was increasing, there was a possibility of cultivating summer crops.
