Posted on: 08/Feb/2013 2:40:33 PM
The Nemmeli Desalination Plant is almost 98% complete say plant officials. The Plant which will convert salt water into drinking water will solve a major portion of Chennais drinking water problem. Reports say that the plant will be able to produce 10 crore litres of potable water daily.

The plant, which was started in 2010, is situated in Nemmeli which is past Mahabalipuram on the East Coast Road. The project was supposed to have been completed in December of 2011. The delay was because of difficulty in laying pipes in the ocean bed.

According to a Chennai Metro Water official, stations that bring in the salt water will be built in Thiruvanmiyur, Nemmeli, Velachery and Akkarai.
