Given the frequency and
intensity of cyclones and storms, are geotubes effective in mitigating the impact of climate change? For how long can these geotubes hold against the vagaries of weather and at what cost?
IndiaSpend surveyed the existing geotubes and spoke to experts and locals to find the answers.

Its construction began in 2007 and was completed in 2010. The other is in Pentha, a village in Kendrapara, Odisha.
