Even as several parts of Kochi reel under water crisis, the 190-million litres per day (MLD) water treatment plant of the Kerala Water Authority (KWA), which is expected to resolve drinking water shortage, continues to await government approval. The proposed plant along with the ₹2,000-crore comprehensive sewage treatment system has been awaiting government approval for the past several months. KWA sources said that the sanctioning of the two projects, which are essential for addressing Kochi’s drinking water crisis as well as proper treatment of sewage, had been pending approval for some time.
