Restrictions on new borewells
The FO-ATDC announced that it will no longer approve new and replacement borewells in the Auroville City area. Exceptions will be made only if no other water supply possibilities are available. The FO-ATDC explained that “Auroville has more than 100 borewells for a small number of people. Historically this has grown on a community basis but the future growth requests a more professional and sustainable approach.”
