Construction on lakes
Chennai has more than 600 lakes but now the number has fell down to 10. The lakes were eventually being piled up and massive construction took place on these sites.

Usually the land here absorbs the water when the floods arrive. As now the land has been filled with constructions the water is not getting sinked
