Answer:
Tamil Nadu
Notes: The Asian Development Bank (ADB) has approved a $251 million loan for urban flood protection and management in the Chennai–Kosasthalaiyar river basin in the state of Tamil Nadu.
The project will establish climate-resilient urban flood protection infrastructure in the region. It will construct 588 kilometers (km) of new stormwater drains, rehabilitate or replace 175 km of stormwater drains among others. Chennai’s rapid urbanization has made the city vulnerable to widespread flooding.
