The project will benefit six district headquarters—Barpeta, Bongaigaon, Dhubri, Goalpara, Golaghat, Nalbari and the city of Guwahati, providing continuous metered water supply, advanced rainwater management and improved flood control measures. It includes the construction of six water treatment plants with a capacity of 72 million liters per day, 800 km of pipelines, real-time monitoring to reduce water losses, and nature-based retention ponds in Guwahati.
