Hydro carbon exploration
In Chennai to prevent depleting ground water level and to stop ingress of sea water everyone was talking of preserving Velachery marsh land area and other water bodies. Only it was louder sound making and many so called front line people who are voicing social grievances appeared in media and posed and pretended.
In this case government can impose strict conditions and restrictions on organisations that will undertake the exploration contracts to see to it that neighbouring lands beyond boundaries should be protected and that such organisations should adopt the required technology to monitor the water purity level of neighbouring land areas and constantly report to appointed statutory agency of the Govt and to the people. Such organisations should in cooperation with government treat the water coming out during exploration treat that properly to potable level and offer that to the distant land areas for agricultural purposes.
