Coimbatore: While the Noyyal River has been the lifeline of the district and surrounding regions, not many people would have tasted the river water. “We have collected water in 50 cans of 20litre capacity each. “Noyyal is not connected with irrigation directly, but indirectly as it recharges ground water. The chances are little, as in the recent years the river has been polluted by sewage and plastic.However, you’ll get an opportunity to taste Noyyal in its purity today, the World Water Day. Volunteers of environmental forum Kovai Kulangal Paadhukappu Amaippu have collected water from the source of Noyyal near the city and would distribute it to the public at five places.Volunteers of the forum said they visited Noyyal’s source at Kovai Kuttralam falls on Thursday and with the permission of forest officials, collected water from there.
