Sale of water by farmers to water dealers in Chennai is affecting the local people in negative ways. It is reducing the supply of water for local people. It is resulting in falling levels of water table. Local people can object to such exploitation of groundwater. But they need to become united to do so. Government can also interfere in this matter and stop exploitation of groundwater. The government can order for arrest of water dealers and greedy farmers. A suitable charge can be framed against them, and they should be punished accordingly. This will act as a deterrent against such offence.
