Where the water comes from
The schemes JJM records as serving this Panchayat, grouped by the kind of source they draw on.
| Source | Category | Count |
|---|---|---|
| Deep Tubewell | Ground Water | 21 |
| Open Well | Ground Water | 1 |
Tanks and water bodies
Mapped by TNGIS and assigned to this Panchayat by the register itself, not by a name match.
3 water bodies cover 4.4 ha here, the largest of them 3.2 ha. The register names 2 of them; the names and polygons are withheld pending the TNGIS licence reply.
Waterspread is the mapped extent, not storage. It says nothing about whether these hold water through the year, whether they are encroached, or when any one of them was last surveyed.
| Registered by | Water bodies |
|---|---|
| NRSC | 2 |
| AED | 1 |
Water-quality testing
88 samples between 2023-01-19 and 2026-07-10. 60 were taken at a source and 28 at households.
None was recorded unsafe. A clean run this long describes the reporting as much as the water, so read it as an absence of recorded failures rather than as evidence of safety.
| Year | Samples |
|---|---|
| 2023 | 28 |
| 2024 | 22 |
| 2025 | 16 |
| 2026 | 22 |
Land and irrigation
Census 2011, reference year 2009. A historical baseline, not current cropping.
of 1,236.31 ha total.
canal 0 ha, wells 294 ha, tanks 0 ha.
culturable waste; barren 482.41 ha, forest 94.15 ha.
Sources through the summer
Census 2011, reference year 2009.
6 source types were recorded for the year and 6 held through the summer months. None failed.
This is the 2009 pattern and says nothing about whether today’s piped supply holds through summer.
