With villages that used indigenous methods of water harvesting and storing being forced to look for alternative means, Kottanathampatti in Madurai is jubilant as it has been given a desalination plant to address its drinking water needs.
Kottanathampatti, identified as a model village in the district, boasts of self-sustenance, but lacks a source of potable water. Relief came on Saturday when a desalination plant put up at a cost of Rs 6 lakh started functioning.
The plant has an automatic dispenser that supplies 18 litres of water for Rs 2. The villagers need to drop in two one-rupee coins and collect the water from the plant, that has a capacity of 5,000 litres.
