The Chennai Corporation re-establish surplus canals

The Chennai Corporation has announced plans to re-establish surplus canals from various minor tanks across all zones of the Greater Chennai Corporation. To accomplish this, the government is considering options such as acquiring private land or adopting the land pooling methodology.

The re-establishment of these canals aims to enhance water conservation and management in the city, especially during periods of heavy rainfall, and to mitigate flooding.

By utilizing available land resources and improving the water infrastructure, the Chennai Corporation intends to address water-related challenges and create a more resilient and sustainable urban environment.
