Kochi Corporation plans water security assessment to strengthen city’s resilience

Kochi Corporation has commissioned a comprehensive water security assessment to address growing concerns over supply reliability and flood vulnerability. The project will be carried out with technical guidance from the Kerala Water Authority and is expected to be completed within six months. Officials said the study will map existing water sources, distribution networks, and drainage systems to identify weak points. Climate change has made rainfall patterns erratic, increasing the risk of both drought and urban flooding in the coastal city.
