T THE TEMPLE POND
Apart from the sanctity attached to them, temple tanks help in recharging the ground water level in and around that
area. Keeping this in mind, maximum efforts have been taken to divert water from the site into the tank. The Abhisegam
water, which was once let into the tank without any water purification treatment has been diverted to the biogas plant.
Maximum efforts have been taken to drain rainwater from the site into the temple tank. Storm water drains have been
provided at regular intervals, which lead to a sedimentation tank. This tank helps to arrest solid waste particles before
entering the temple pond.
