| Summary: | Chennai, a city on the southeastern
coast of India and the state capital of Tamil Nadu, has one
of the world’s fastest-growing economies. Chennai is the
automotive hub for India and is also home to several other
industries ranging from petrochemicals to hardware
manufacturing, textiles, and apparel. Because of
urbanization and economic growth, Chennai’s population has
increased more than fifty percent over the past two decades.
The city’s rapid growth has created several water
challenges. This case study is part of a series prepared by
the World Bank’s Water Global Practice to highlight existing
experiences in the water sector. The purpose of the series
is to showcase one or more of the elements that can
contribute toward a Water in Circular Economy and Resilience
(WICER) system. This case study focuses on the experience of
Chennai in India. |
