TN CM lays foundation stone for seawater desalination plant

The Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Edappadi K Palaniswami laid the foundation stone for a ₹1,259-crore seawater desalination plant at Nemmeli on the East Coast Road.
The 150 million litres per day (MLD) plant, which will be completed by 2021-end, will benefit around 9 lakh people in southern Chennai, says a government press release.
There are two desalination plants (at Minjur to the north of the city and at Nemmeli) of 100 MLD each. They cater to nearly 10 lakh residents in North Chennai and 9 lakh residents in the South.
 
Lived in Chennai for three years. Just few weeks back I relocated. One thing we must remember that TN hardly has any river that is filled with water, for the whole year. All these rivers are rainfed rivers. And for more than seven months, there was no rain. Sea water purification is way forward without a doubt but whenever it rains, govt has to come out with a plan to reserve it as much as possible. Hope the city will bounce back to normalcy soon.
