LingaKulam is a temple pond belongs to the Revenue Department and maintained by GCC.  The pond is located adjacent to the temple of Lord Shiva in the south and the other three sides are surrounded by neighbourhood vacant land. Water is partially filled and yellowish in colour. There is no inlet and outlet to the pond. The pond is not connected to any upstream and downstream water sources. Catchment area is not connected to the pond. The present water spread serves as catchment area. Pond gets its storage only from monsoon rains. Benefits from the implementation of this project include improvement of water quality by diversion of sewage discharge and providing constructed wetland and floating wetland system. Due to de-silting, water storage will increase and made available throughout the year. Fish culture will be developed. With proper counseling and guidance by the GCC Engineers, the people of the area will take care of the pond and hence, water body will be protected. The pond has been restored under the Chennai Smart City project funds
