Madurai Water Body Dries Up, Raising Local Concerns

Imagine a big lake in Madurai called Thenkal Kanmai.

This lake is super important because farmers and people nearby use its water.

Sadly, the lake has completely dried up!

This happened because it's been really, really hot.

The lake covers a large area, like hundreds of football fields put together.

Now, people are worried because they don't have as much water as before.

It is a big problem because they need it for their crops and everyday life.
