Innovative Pilot Project Aims to Enhance Water Security in Chennai

A pioneering water balance pilot project focused on treating wastewater and replenishing groundwater was inaugurated at Little Flower Convent as part of the City of 1000 Tanks initiative. The project, developed by a multidisciplinary team led by Ooze Architects and Urbanists from the Netherlands, aims to address Chennai’s water challenges through nature-based and integrated solutions.

Minister for Municipal Administration K.N. Nehru highlighted the project’s significance in ensuring water security for the convent and potentially scaling up the model to benefit other areas. The initiative aligns with Chennai Metrowater’s efforts to utilize reclaimed wastewater, contributing to the city’s industrial water needs.
