As part of its efforts to reduce stress on freshwater sources, Chennai Metrowater has completed about 60% of the work to construct two tertiary treatment plants in the city. Besides recycling waste water, the pilot projects would make a significant contribution towards groundwater recharge. The tertiary treatment plants using ultrafiltration (TTUF) are coming up at Perungudi and Nesapakkam with a capacity to treat 10 million litres a day (mld). Treated wastewater would be discharged into Porur and Perungudi lakes. Officials of the Metrowater said the pilot projects would help recharge the groundwater table in localities in a radius of minimum five km and also promote indirect use of recycled water.More Related News
