1. Needs:
The existing drainage condition of Thiruvathipuram consists of tanks and manmade
drainage system (Storm water open drains). Due to the natural slope of the town, all
the drains discharge water in Cheyyar River. The present condition of Storm Water
Drainage is that it also carried the sludge and sewage water, which ultimately
carried to the cheyyar River. This has created enormous environmental problems.
Also there are certain length of roads which is unlined and needs to convert them in
lined drains to use the Rain Water Harvesting in an effective way.

disposal and lot has to be done for it.
