A Study on Physico-Chemical Characteristics of Borewell Water In Sugar Town, ...IJERA Editor
Groundwater is a natural resource for drinking water .In addition to the population growth, urbanization and industrialization also extend the demand of water. Providing safe drinking water supply to the ever growing urban and sub-urban population is going to be a challenge to the civil authorities, city planners, policy makers and environmentalists. Groundwater is a major source of drinking water in both urban and rural areas of Mandya. Mandya city is rapidly raising population, changing lifestyle and intense competition among users- agriculture, industry and domestic sectors is driving the groundwater table lower. Besides, discharge of untreated wastewater through bores and leachate from unscientific disposal of solid wastes also contaminate groundwater, thereby reducing quality of fresh water resources.
The present work is aimed at assessing the water quality index for the ground water samples of Sugar town, Mandya city. The groundwater samples of about 40 samples were collected and subjected for a comprehensive physicochemical analysis. The purposes of this investigation are to provide an overview of present ground water quality for the following 12 parameters such as pH, total hardness, calcium, magnesium, chloride, nitrate, sulphate, total dissolved solids, iron, fluoride, alkalinity are to be considered for calculating the WQI. The results are analyzed by WQI method for predicting water quality. Water Quality Index (WQI) is a very useful and effective way for assessing the quality of water. WQI is a very useful tool for communicating the information on overall quality of water.

2) It outlines various traditional human-powered irrigation techniques commonly used by women farmers in the region, such as swinging baskets and treadle pumps.
3) However, women's participation in irrigation governance is still limited, and the document recommends establishing quotas for women in water user groups to promote greater involvement in decision making.
This document reviews gender and capacity building initiatives in Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) programs in India. It finds that [1] training programs do not adequately cover gender and equity issues and there is a gap between policies and practices. It also finds that [2] training participants and trainers are mostly men, with limited female participation. Finally, it finds that [3] training content is gender blind and does not include dedicated content on gender sensitization or issues like menstrual hygiene. It recommends a thorough review of training curricula from a gender and equity perspective to make capacity building more inclusive.

The document summarizes a conference presentation on empowering women through affordable water technologies in India. It discusses how women currently shoulder the burden of collecting water, which takes time away from other activities. Various water treatment technologies being implemented through DST initiatives are empowering women by making water more accessible. These include RO plants, arsenic removal, rainwater harvesting, and river bank filtration. The projects have improved health outcomes and saved time by bringing water sources closer to communities.

The document discusses the Women Led Nirmal Bharat Abhiyan (Clean India Mission) led by the Ministry of Drinking Water and Sanitation in India. [1] It notes that poor sanitation impacts women's health, education, safety, dignity, and privacy the most. [2] The initiative aims to create open defecation free villages through a saturation approach ensuring all households and public places have toilets. [3] It focuses on demand generation, gender perspectives, and involving women as change agents to promote sanitation and hygiene.
This document analyzes women's participation in the Jalswarajya water project in Maharashtra, India. It finds that while the project mandated 50% women's participation, their involvement was often superficial and did not meaningfully empower women or address gender inequalities. Rural elites still controlled project information and resources. Women's roles were often proxies for their caste groups rather than representatives advocating for women. The project failed to sustain women's empowerment activities after implementation or address underlying power imbalances around caste and class. It concludes that true gender equality in water governance requires more than quotas and must directly confront social norms that exclude women.
S5 1 niranjan women and water in vulnerable rural households-revisedSehgal Foundation
This document discusses assessing the vulnerability of rural households to lack of adequate water supply for domestic and productive needs. It proposes developing a composite vulnerability index based on 6 sub-indices: 1) water supply and use, 2) family occupation, 3) social institutions, 4) climate, 5) water resources, and 6) financial stability. The index was tested in 3 villages in India with values ranging from 2.21 to 6.58, indicating varying vulnerability among households based on their water access and livelihood factors. The study found vulnerability was highest in Kerkatta village due to water scarcity and influenced by household economy. The index could help target water supply interventions and surveillance.

This document discusses the experiences of the Andhra Pradesh Farmers Managed Groundwater System (APFAMGS) Project in fostering women's participation in water resource management. Key points:
1) The project worked to make women equal partners in local water institutions, giving them 50% membership and requiring 50% female attendance for decisions.
2) Over 4,000 women and men were trained to collect technical water data that was then used to forecast risks and plan water usage.
3) At annual workshops, women analyzed data and prioritized more sustainable solutions over commercial or political interests, bringing a new perspective to water governance.
4) Involving women in decision-making and technical roles

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs
