Cost Effective Solution to save Coconut trees during forth coming water scarcity months due to El Niño : Olla Irrigation - Ancient Wisdom for Modern Droughts. 🏺 Echoes of Ancient Clay pot Irrigation Long before the term olla entered agricultural vocabulary, ancient Tamil farmers practiced remarkably similar methods.

Collector for steps to enhance green cover of Annamalai hills - The Hindu:
TIRUVANNAMALAI: The district administration will take steps to provide green cover to the 2,170-metre high Annamalai hills in the Tiruvannamalai town, according to Collector M. Rajendran.
Mr. Rajendran, who climbed up the hills on Saturday to assess the vegetation, told reporters that a project on “greening the hills” was launched in 2001. Based on the project, steps would be taken shortly to increase the green cover by planting more saplings.
Of the 933.77-hectares on the hills, 699.03 hectares were under the control of the Forest Department and 234.74 hectares under the Revenue Department.
Some areas on the hills had less vegetation and some had no trees.
The growth of the trees had been affected by excessive heat conditions prevailing in the town.
The Collector suggested that tea gardens could be raised on 40 to 50 hectares of land in Thenimalai area.
The hills abounded in herbal plants, including single-leaf lotus, garlic, Keezhanelli, sambrani, vettiver and nannari.
Wild animals such as black-faced monkey and wild fowls are also found on the hills.
Steps would be taken to provide thick vegetation cover by planting saplings, sowing seeds and growing grafts, he said.
Forest Department and Revenue officials accompanied the Collector.
