This is part of a system of Irrigation tanks in the Bahour Commune of Puducherry, INDIA. This is the Manapet Tank..With a just a couple of days's of rainfall, the tank is full and overflowing... Most of the tanks in Bahour are full now. These tanks are of great value to the ground water recharging as well as to the local agriculture.

These are random shots and jottings from my various trips made at various times and not necessarily chronological in order.
