Cleaner waterways could become a reality in four years’ time if the various projects proposed by Chennai Metrowater are implemented.
With the State government approving works worth 1,001 crore, the water agency is set to call for tenders this month.
Though Chennai Rivers Restoration Trust has already taken up eco-restoration projects along Cooum and Adyar rivers at a cost of ₹300 crore, the new projects aim at a comprehensive clean-up of the Cooum and Adyar rivers and Buckingham Canal and its associated drains. Work is expected to begin in January next year.
It may be recalled that a government order was issued recently sanctioning various projects worth ₹2,371 crore proposed by Chennai Metrowater to plug sewage outfalls into the city’s waterways and also strengthen the sewer network, through short-term and long-term strategies.
