In this village in Tamil Nadu’s Ramanathapuram district, fetching even bare minimum water is a daily struggle
Women in the Kadaladi block push their make-shift carts to waterholes to collect water everyday
The amount of water coming in through the Ramanathapuram combined (Cauvery) water supply scheme to Kadaladi and Kamuthi blocks has also decreased.
Waiting game: Women draw water at night from the almost dry well in Maravaikudi in Kadaladi block of Ramanathapuram district.

Almost every week, the women submit petitions at the Ramanathapuram Collectorate regarding the issue.
Whenever the situation turns desperate, the people block the Ramanathapuram-Sayalkudi road
Following one such agitation, the district administration dug a pit about 15 feet deep in a dry tank adjoining the Aandichikulam village.
