The city’s water requirement will touch 2,236.5 million litres per day (mld) by 2025, considering the rapid increase in population and urban growth trend. This will require doubling the present water treatment plants’ capacity of 1,294 mld to match the growing demand. This was one of the results of a report on ‘Water Sustainability Assessment of Chennai’ launched at a virtual meet to mark World Environment Day. At present, the water demand is estimated to be around 2,074 mld. The study, which highlighted the potential water challenges in the Chennai Metropolitan Area, was carried out by the Mahindra-TERI Centre of Excellence, a joint research initiative of Mahindra Lifespaces and The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI).More Related News
