Water provided to wild animals in 100-odd troughs in Coimbatore forests as summer relief
With the summer season approaching, the Forest Department has started filling water in 100-odd troughs in the Coimbatore Forest Division for wild animals.
Forest Department officials said troughs are being filled with water after cleaning them at regular intervals.
Around 30 troughs in the seven forest ranges in the division have borewells attached to them. They are equipped with solar-powered motors to draw water. Other troughs are replenished using tankers.
Besides aiding wild animals quench their thirst within the forests, routine refilling of these artificial waterholes is also aimed at reducing incidents of wild animals entering human habitations for water in the summer.
District Forest Officer N. Jayaraj has instructed Forest Range Officers of all the ranges to have the frontline staff check the troughs regularly and refill them based on need.
V. Thirumurugan, Forest Range Officer, Coimbatore range, said salt licks are also placed near natural waterholes and troughs to supplement mineral needs of the wild animals.
