Abstract
The Tsunami, which occurred in an unexpected time on the 26th of December 2004, has caused a major disaster in the coastal villages of Pondicherry and Tamil Nadu. In the coastal areas the major community is the fishermen who dwell just near the seashore. These villages where the fishermen live are known as “Kuppam”. The damages in these villages were severe which includes death of human beings, loss of boats, fishing nets and houses. This is resulting in an alarming situation for the fishermen community who depend on the sea for their livelihood. The Tsunami has not only taken the life of people and destroyed materials but has also caused serious changes in the environment. A fast social investigation was done in order to assess the changes in the quality of drinking water source in the coastal villages. The findings in this report are based on the discussions held with the affected community in the villages. The physical assessment is given below in this report (waves extend, salinity level, bacterial contamination, time evolution). A quick social investigation was done in order to assess the changes in the quality of drinking water source in the coastal villages.
