fresh water aquifers is depriving the local people of fresh water for drinking and irrigation
purposes. The discharge of toxic effluents into the fields and water sources is destroying the
fertility of the soil and depleting the already scarce water resources of the region. Intensive
aquaculture is also posing a threat to the livelihood of thousands of fisher folks of whose access
to the sea has been cut off by imposing barricades, jetties and other structures of Chilcott Aqua.
