Restorations under the Mummari Project

Pura Kulam, Restored in 2019

The ‘Pura Kulam’ translates to the ‘Pigeon Pond.’ This pond restored by E.F.I separates two states of Andhra Pradesh and TamilNadu, it is located in an idyllic location with hills in the backdrop and green fields all around. Reviving this mega lake was to emphasize on effective water conservation efforts in rural districts.

Alapakkam Lake, Restored in 2019

The Alapakkam Lake, located in Tiruvallur, was the main source of water for the nearby residing communities and was also used for agricultural practices. But over the years, due to sheer negligence, the lake was covered with invasive weed species and had become completely dry! When taken up for restoration, the lake had its bunds strengthened, water holding area increased along with native trees planted along its bunds!

Thirumullaivoyal Pond

Located in Avadi, the Thirumullaivoyal Pond was once a pond that quenched the passer-by’s thirst. As time went by, the pond that was filled with beautiful flowers has today turned into a cesspool, filled with sewage. Taken up for restoration, today the pond is thriving with new life!

We thank all those who have supported us in these efforts! It is our responsibility to save our water for us, and future generations.
