 How is the sale of water by farmers to water dealers in Chennai affecting the local people? Do you think local people can object to such exploitation of ground water? Cans the government do anything in this regard?  

Answer:

 Due to sale of water by farmers to water dealers the ground water levels have dropped drastically in all these towns and villages. Local people are facing severe shortages of water. Local people can object to such exploitation of ground water. Being a natural resource, under-ground water should not be overused. Government should take strict steps in this regard. It should penalize such farmers as well as water dealers. Such activities of the farmers must not be tolerated.
