The desalination project at Manori—which was initially favoured over the proposed Gargai dam, thereby preventing the axing of four lakh trees in the Tansa Wildlife Sanctuary—will supply 200 million litres per day (MLD) of water after three years, if everything goes according to plan.
If Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) officials are to be believed, the tender for the ambitious project will be floated by the end of October.
