Water Security Measures.Now he has released his /ThiruvalluvarumAriviyalum, a Tamil research book which explains the scientific meeting of three words of poet Thiruvalluvar‘ /World cannot thrive without water. It explains all the natural wealth in the Earth produced by the natural cycles of water. His three recent books published are 1. “Water resources of the rare water bodies”, 2. “The water resources policy book -USA also needs to practice water management pathways” and 3. “The water resources policy book-How to preserve the freshwater drops last forever?”. No one in the world should not meet the water miseries as his parentsMrs.Meenakshi, mother and father Thiru K.P. Muthaiyahmet in their entire life. So, he has decided to write water resources books till all people in the world sustain water resources development permanently without a break. If the water management paths suggested in his books are faithfully implemented, it may not be a pipe dream to sustain water resources development everywhere in the world.
