Estimated cost of construction: Rs 1,677 crore

Execution period: Three years

A first-of-its-kind river rejuvenation project, Dravyavati River, also known as Amanishah Nallah – a vital natural asset of Jaipur – finds mention in history since the 15th century. Rapid urbanisation in the past three to four decades coupled with rampant encroachments in the river area and dumping of sewage, industrial wastewater and solid waste converted this once pristine flowing river to a cesspool. The project, being executed by Tata Projects, envisages the rejuvenation of Dravyavati River by course correction or strengthening of the channel, sewage interception, treatment and dispensing treated water into the river, groundwater augmentation, flood mitigation, value addition to social and commercial infrastructure, reduction in pollution and improving quality of life of Jaipur citizens by adding to its aesthetics. “Rejuvenation will result in cleaner, clearer, odourless flowing water, suitable for survival of aqua life and the creation of a riverfront with better aesthetic surroundings,” says Vinayak K Deshpande, Managing Director, Tata Projects. “The project will help prevent flooding as widening of the channel will allow excess water to be drained away.”
