Two pumps to be installed to drain out water
Two high powered pumping stations will be permanently set up to drain out storm water from the retention ponds in the capital's eastern parts and into the outlying rivers bordering the capital.
Costing Tk 203 crore under the Dhaka Water Supply and Sanitation Project, funded by World Bank, the pumps, to be situated at Rampura and Kamalapur, have a draining capacity of 25,000 and 15,000 liters per second respectively.
Dhaka Water Supply and Sewerage Authority (Wasa) signed a contract at Sonargaon Hotel yesterday in this regard with China-CAMC Engineering Company Limited, which will set up the pumps in two years.
