Chennai’s rapid urban expansion, limited local sources and vulnerability to climatic variability required long term planning for water supply and sanitation. Existing systems were fragmented and increasingly inadequate to meet projected demand.

The project prepared a comprehensive master plan to guide development over a long term horizon. It assessed existing sources, treatment facilities, transmission networks, distribution systems and Sewage infrastructure, analysed population growth projections and future demand scenarios and integrated additional sources with strengthened treatment, storage and conveyance while planning expanded Sewage coverage and treatment capacity.
