    Fishers allege Mamallan reservoir plan ignores tidal inundation risks

    Fishers allege that the Mamallan reservoir plan fails to address tidal inundation risks. They claim the proposal by the Water Resources Department (WRD) and a technical assessment by IIT-Madras (IIT-M) inadequately evaluated these risks, and converting the marsh to a reservoir would remove 4,375 acres of natural flood storage, increasing flood risks for nearby areas.
