ADB Loan to Help Tackle Water Stress, Climate Threats in India's Cauvery Delta

The Asian Development Bank (ADB) has approved a $100 million loan to strengthen a key irrigation system and improve water management in the Vennar sub-basin of the Cauvery delta in Tamil Nadu—one of India's most water-stressed states. The project will strengthen the embankments of six major irrigation water channels in the Vennar system to make them more resilient to floods and upgrade water regulators, sluices, and pump stations. To boost management, more community members will be tapped to take part in planning and delivery of water services, training will be given to state water resource department officers, and flood forecasting and warning systems and flood risks maps will also be drawn up to help communities respond more proactively and effectively to extreme events.
