City water supply: new 100 mld water treatment plant planned at Aruvikkara
The Kerala Water Authority is planning a new 100 million litres per day water treatment plant at Aruvikkara to meet the growing needs of Thiruvananthapuram. The project's success depends on increasing the storage capacity of the Peppara dam, which is currently awaiting environmental clearance.
Why it matters
Urban infrastructure development is often hindered by bureaucratic delays and environmental regulations, impacting long-term city planning.
Amid the delays plaguing proposals such as the 120 mld (million litres a day) Neyyar water supply scheme and the storage level enhancement of the Peppara dam, the Kerala Water Authority (KWA) is planning a new 100 mld water treatment plant (WTP) at Aruvikkara to cater to the future water needs of Thiruvananthapuram city.
