- It prioritises sectors like agriculture, water resources, coastal area management, and forest and biodiversity.
- Tamil Nadu constitutes 4% of India’s land area and is inhabited by 6% of India’s population, but has only 2.5% of India’s water resources.
- More than 95% of surface water and 80% of groundwater have already been put into use.
- The per capita availability of the water resources is just 900 m3 compared to the national average of 2,200m3.
