By 2050, the demand for water in the areas that are under the Kochi Corporation, five nearby municipalities and 13 Panchayats will be 600 mld, including 300 mld only for the areas of Kochi Corporation, agreed to official sources. The deficit will be 190 mld, and therefore, the concept of a new plant, they said.
According to the estimate of the Asian Development Bank, water does not vrow in Kochi is 51%, including water consumed of public reduction. This is only estimated at about 12% of the use of water. Therefore, the real amount of water without a vrowra will be around 39%, the sources said.
It is arranged that the claim or more than 50% as a non -journalist is doubtful, the president of the Ernakulam District Congress Committee (DCC), Mohammed Shiyas, said that the assets of the Kerala Water Authority (KWA) are worth the 3000 Crore Thiruvanananthapuram, and Kozhiked.
This is separated from ₹ 1,000 million rupees per year through maintenance expenses, only without any new investment. In this situation, the government must take measures to implement the 190-MLD project that was sanctioned when Oommen Chandy was prime minister, he said.
The steps must also be tasks to obtain an estimated 49 mld of water for Kinfra Park of the Kadambrayar and not of the periyar. In addition to the delivery or public infrastructure to others, there is also fear that water tariffs increase subsequently, Shiyas added.
“We are against the previous conditions and not against the ADB loan per se,” said P. Unnikrishnan, general secretary, Kwa Employes Union (CITU). Employee unions have made it clear that the KWA has funds and that the government would have to pay the loan. Moreover, the existing tariff concessions to the society’s waker sections must continue, they said.
Mr. Unnikrishnan also described how claims on water that are not 50%.
“The detailed report of the project also refers to quality problems related to the water supplied by the KWA, and is far from the truth. Employees would be forced to embark on an agitation if the demands are not with,” he added.
