A new project will be chalked out to divert surplus water in Cauvery river to meet Chennai’s drinking water needs, Minister for Municipal Administration K.N.Nehru said here on Tuesday. The proposal, which is estimated to cost ₹5,000 crore to ₹6,000 crore, has been taken up for scrutiny. Surplus Cauvery water that otherwise would drain into the sea during monsoon would be stored in Palar river. It would be later transferred to Chennai’s reservoirs for treatment and supply. Noting that such a proposal was devised a decade ago, he said it would take nearly four to five years to implement the project. According to him, at present, Chennai’s population is 87-88 lakh and such projects are being devised to cater to the growing requirements for the next decade.More Related News
