Towards drinking water security in India: Lessons from the field – A report by Water and Sanitation Program

Drinking WaterThis report by the Water and Sanitation Program of the World Bank provides an account of the field level initiatives on drinking water security in India. The country faces many challenges in ensuring reliable, sustainable safe drinking water supply to rural households.

Though, in terms of provision of safe drinking water, more than 90 percent of the rural households have been covered, according to the NSSO 65th round survey 2008-09, much remains to be done to improve levels of service delivery, water quality and sustainability.

Status of water supply, sanitation and solid waste management in urban areas – A research study by CPHEEO (2005)

This study by the Central Public Health and Environmental Engineering Organisation (CPHEEO) assesses the status of water supply, sanitation and solid waste management in selected 300 cities and towns of India including all metropolitan cities and selected Class I and Class II urban centres. It estimates the requirement of funds for full coverage of population by these services in the urban areas of the country from 1999 to 2022 (at five yearly intervals). Overall, the study confirms the normal notion that the metropolitan cities are better provided for than the other size class of urban centres.Read More

When Pigs Fly: Rainbow Drive Layout's efforts towards water sustainability - Citizens at the centre of Integrated Urban Water Management

A 5' diameter, 30' deep recharge well has been found to hold water year round. If water quality permits, this could potentially become a source of water for the layout community.This case study report by Biome Environmental Solutions, gives an account of Rainbow Drive Layout Plot Owners' Association's (POA) work on Integrated Urban Water Management, in Bangalore (Karnataka).Read More

Rainbow Drive is a gated community that proactively addressed its water problems in a sustainable manner without resorting solely to short-term coping strategies like buying tanker water or drilling more borewells. Biome Solutions, a company engaged in sustainable water management, worked with Rainbow Drive, in helping them understand their water situation and put in place durable and appropriate solutions. Due to the pioneering nature of the work that was done, Arghyam, a non-profit foundation supported Biome in an intensive monitoring exercise to develop the full picture of Rainbow Drive's water management regime and derive lessons for similar urban contexts and communities. These document are the outputs from this investigation.
