Recently People from other parts of Tamil Nadu have started to move to Vangal for employment, small businesses, etc. Even many parts of Tamil Nadu was hit by [[water scarcity]], Vangal village does not meet any drinking water scarcity issues. Whereas agricultural farms and commercial crops are facing some challenges to thrive because water scarcity for irrigation. Sand mining in the Kaveri delta region is one of the main reason as the ground water level has gone below the critical levels. The farming community rely on the well water, where level of water is very low because of the water table has been disrupted by sand mining.
