Use of Water in Sangam Literature

Abstract

It is known from the literature that the Tamil people of the Sangam period were attached to nature and used the energies of nature as needed. Reservoirs like lake embankments have been constructed to store the seasonal rainwater and have been well maintained. Water is distributed through canals, sluices, and canals. Earth, water, fire, air, and space are all mixed up in the world of enchantment, which is the worldly natural theory discovered by the Tamils. Although the world is surrounded by water, it is the source of food and production. The brief of the study is to make the present generation aware of water conservation by knowing the thoughts about water in the literature and how it has been praised and protected.
