The surplus water scheme is expected to fill water bodies in dry parts of Salem district, facilitating better use of water for agriculture and drinking.

Thus, surplus water from the Mettur dam is expected to be pumped into 100 lakes in and near the Sarbanga basin in the district. KBL is associated as the primary provider of relevant fluid management solutions for the scheme.
