The Tuul Water Complex Project (2025–2032) is a strategic national infrastructure initiative designed to secure a long-term and reliable water supply for Ulaanbaatar and surrounding urban areas, while supporting growing demand from households, industry, and agriculture. The feasibility study, currently 90% complete, is being prepared by Kalpataru Projects International Limited (KPIL), India. The project includes comprehensive assessments of surface and groundwater resources to establish a sustainable water supply system. With a planned storage capacity of 50–100 million cubic meters, the project will strengthen water security, improve the ecological flow of the Tuul River, enhance flood protection, and support future urban expansion, satellite cities, and industrial development.
Key project specifications:
- Water storage capacity: 50–100 million cubic meters
- Dam length: 685.15 meters
- Dam height: 35.8 meters
- Reservoir depth: 19.84 meters
- Catchment area: 5,569 km²
The feasibility study is being developed by Kalpataru Projects International Limited (KPIL) of the Republic of India. The study includes comprehensive assessments of both groundwater and surface water resources, evaluates water utilization potential, and develops engineering solutions to establish a secure and sustainable water supply system for Ulaanbaatar.
Once completed, the project is expected to strengthen Ulaanbaatar’s long term water security, maintain the ecological flow of the Tuul River, reduce flood risks, and improve the sustainable management of water resources.
