The union government’s Central Water Commission (CWC) has approved the INR 11,250 Crore Nadanthai Vaazhi Cauvery rejuvenation project. This project aims to rejuvenate hundreds of waterbodies linked to the Cauvery River and its tributaries across the state of Tamil Nadu.

The Cauvery rejuvenation program will be executed in two phases, with both the central and state governments sharing funding. Phase 1 involves the journey from Mettur to Tiruchy, with an estimated INR 1,958 Crore. Phase 2 covers the stretch from Tiruchy to the river’s confluence with the sea at various points, with an estimated cost of INR 8,753 Crore.

The scope of work involves –

Sewage Treatment Plants (STPs): The project will identify sewage and effluent inflow into waterbodies by setting up STPs.

Effluent Treatment Plants: The project entails the construction of 10 common effluent treatment plants for textile units in the Erode and Namakkal regions.

Riverfront Development: developing riverfronts at various locations along the Cauvery River and its tributaries.

Once the CWC issues the official order, the tender process for the first phase will begin. The Rejuvenation project aligns with the broader goal of reviving perennial rivers in South India, including the Cauvery, Krishna, Godavari, and Mahanadhi.
