I was again reading up on water projects in TN and I came across the Hogenakkal Drinking Water Scheme, which was planned to harness the river Cauvery to provide Drinking water in the districts of Dharmapuri and Krishnagiri.

This project was doubly important, because of Flourosis
Because Dharmapuri and Krishnagiri had a high occurence of Flourosis, which was caused because of impurities in Drinking water.

Compared to the scale of other water projects, this was a pretty minor one. In involved the construction of a 160 MLD water plant and some other things
The project was proposd in 1998.

It was inaugurated in, I kid you not, 2013

We took 15 years to build a 160 MLD water plant.

China built the world's largest dam in 15 years.

If we take 15 years to build a minor project, we will take 1500 years to solve the cauvery issue
To Paraphrase Ben franklin,

In the life of a TN Citizen, nothing in the world can said to be certain, except Death, Taxes and Cauvery protests
