the ground water was available at 20-30 feet very easily. Due to drying of river, the underground water level of
Bilaspur is going down day by day, which is appearing as major problem to the growing population. By and
large the growing city like Bilaspur in Chhattisgarh district is facing the problem of underground water present
day and will be faced severe crisis in next decade. But the quality of underground water as data reveals that it is
still remain same as was previous decades. Of course, the water quantity required for future can be managed
through surface water by managing and saving river water from the encroachment and pollution.

This study follows the successful efforts of the villagers of Olavanna Gram Panchayat in Kozhikode district, Kerala in effective drinking water utilization and tackling water scarcity. As a result, 60 small, water supply schemes are operational in Olavanna, of which 27 have been funded entirely by the local community and 33 are partially supported by the Gram Panchayat.
Final Report: Software Project Management
Project Scope:
We are developing a project on distribution of water in Sindh. The objective of the Project is to improve irrigation water management at tertiary and maintain field levels in Sindh. The project will effectively manage the supply of water in province of Sindh located in Pakistan. This project will contain a timely based distribution of water for farmers after taking some inputs from farmers. Most of the time water is wasted during its supply and it does not reach to the original destination. Medium-size farmers will be engaged in equivalent supply of water this will help in improvement of irrigation and land improvement.
We will be registering farmers in our database to take their request for the quantity of water with the measured area of their land and their request about the quantity of water. We will develop an application/software that will communicate with farmers via SMS service in their respective language so that they can communicate comfortably. We will make a web portal to manage their requests and complaints but usually farmers are not literate that’s why we are providing SMS service for them. After keeping the data of farmers we will timely supply water to farmers and we will better analyze usage quantity of water in different seasons. The project will benefit a large population through saving extra supply of water. The project is expected to make a significant contribution to poverty reduction in Sindh Province. By using effective methods of supplying water in fields we will promote crop diversification and increased productivity.
Presentation is an attempt to showcase role and importance of water as a gift of nature and as critical element for the sustainability of humanity, flora and fauna, and needs to be preserved, protected, promoted so as to make it universally available to all living organsim occupying space on this planet

Growth of urban populations and new property developments, coupled with incidences of water mismanagement, below-average rainfall patterns and droughts.
The 2019 Chennai water crisis is an ongoing water crisis occurring in India, most notably in the city of Chennai in Tamil Nadu. ... Because tap water has stopped running, some families have been relying on alternative water sources such as distant, unreliable public water pumps, and costly private water tankers.

This paper explores the importance of Public Private partnership in bringing about a sustainable urban development to the city of Kochi. There is lack of a proper strategy in implementing PPPs across the Kerala due to which urbanization of Cochin still has a long way to go to cope up with the economic activities which are dependent on infrastructure, such as power, telecom, roads, water supply and mass transportation, coupled with civic infrastructure, such as sanitation and solid waste management.

• The Blueprint for Infrastructure in Gujarat 2020 (BIG 2020) is an integrated plan for the state's accelerated, balanced, inclusive and sustainable growth driven by robust social, industrial and physical infrastructure.
Future Watch report: According to a research report released by the Indian government, India is facing its ‘worst’ water crisis in history and that demand for potable water will outstrip supply by 2030 if steps are not taken. Twenty-one cities, including Delhi, Bengaluru, Chennai and Hyderabad will run out of groundwater by 2020, affecting 100 million people, the study noted. Combined with industrial water pollution, shrinking rivers and inefficient urban water management system, there will be a 6% loss in the country’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) by 2050.
1. INDIAN URBAN DEVELOPMENT GROWTH
VISION TO DEVELOP THE URBAN
SANITATION
BY HONORABLE PRIME MINISTER,
SHRI. NAREDHRA MODI
AT THE TIME OF HIS OATH.
2. India Growth in Urban Development:
Over the last few decades, India has witnessed a rapid increase in the urban population. It is estimated that
50% of the population in India will be in urban centres by the year 2050. The growing population invariably
exerts tremendous pressure on the existing natural resources. In fact, a glance at the statistics provided in
the ‘Global Environment Outlook’, United Nations Environment Program, 1996 Report reflects on the grim
future of India in term of its natural resources. ‘Water Resources and Sewerage’ is one of the major future
concerns for India as per the report and several other research papers.
Key Market Trends/Observations:
Annual market in India is growing at 15 to 20%.
16% of the world’s population, 4% of water and 2.4% of land
Population growth, migration from rural to urban areas, tightening regulations and aging infrastructure
Increasing demand for improvements in the level of services, realisation at all level that lack of
infrastructure to stifle India growth story
Energy-Water-Environment-Sustainability nexus and optimisation
Increasing demand for River clean-up, stream, and water bodies restoration
Increasing PPP opportunities in Water Sector
3. Urban Development Scenario:
The Eleventh Five-Year Plan (2007–2012) foresees investments of Rs. 1270.25 billion (US$19.9 billion) for
urban water supply and sanitation, including urban (storm water) drainage and solid waste management.
The level of investment in water and sanitation, albeit low by international standards, has increased in size
during the 2000s. Access has also increased significantly. For example, in 1980 rural sanitation coverage
was estimated at 1% and reached 21% in 2008. Also, the share of Indians with access to improved sources of
water has increased significantly from 72% in 1990 to 88% in 2008. In addition, only two Indian cities have
continuous water supply and an estimated 69% of Indians still lack access to improved sanitation facilities.
In 2008, 88% of the population in India had access to an improved water source, but only 31% had access to
improved sanitation. In rural areas, where 72% of India’s population lives, the respective shares are 84% for
water and only 21% for sanitation. In urban areas, 96% had access to an improved water source and 54% to
improved sanitation. Access has improved substantially since 1990 when it was estimated to stand at 72%
for water and 18% for sanitation
According to Indian norms, access to improved water supply exists if at least 40 liters/capita/day of safe
drinking water are provided within a distance of 1.6 km or 100 meter of elevation difference, to be relaxed as
per field conditions. There should be at least one pump per 250 persons.
4. Urban Development Scenario:
Water supply continuity:
As of 2010, only two cities in India — Thiruvananthapuram and Kota — get continuous water supply. In 2005 none
of the 35 Indian cities with a population of more than one million distributed water for more than a few hours per
day, despite generally sufficient infrastructure. Owing to inadequate pressure people struggle to collect water even
when it is available.
Jamshedpur, a city in Jharkhand with 573,000 inhabitants, provided 25% of its residents with continuous water
supply in 2009. Navi Mumbai, a planned city with more than 1 m inhabitants, has achieved continuous supply for
about half its population as of January 2009. Badlapur, another city in the Mumbai Conurbation with a population
of 140,000, has achieved continuous supply in 3 out of 10 operating zones, covering 30% of its population.
Thiruvananthapuram, the capital of Kerala state with a population of 745,000 in 2001, is probably the largest
Indian city that enjoys continuous water supply.
Sanitation:
Most Indians depend on on-site sanitation facilities. Recently, access to on-site sanitation have increased in both
rural and urban areas. In urban areas, a good practice is the Slum Sanitation Program in Mumbai that has
provided access to sanitation for a quarter million slum dwellers. The capacity of the 17 existing wastewater
treatment plants in Delhi is adequate to cater a daily production of waste water of less than 50% of the drinking
water produced. Of the 2.5 Billion people in the world that defecate openly, some 665 million live in India. This is
of greater concern as 88% of deaths from diarrhoea occur because of unsafe water, inadequate sanitation and poor
hygiene.
5. Existing Scenario:
The major issues concerning ‘Water Resources’ in India can be broadly classified into issues of water quantity
(availability) and quality, for use in the domestic, industrial and service sectors. A look at the present scenario, with
respect to these two aspects, gives an overview of the existing problems and provides a platform for improvement in
terms of action at the policy and consumer level.
The per capita availability of freshwater in India is a little over 2000 cubic meters. However, there is a large spatial
and temporal variation in the availability of freshwater. While some areas in Rajasthan get just around 100
millimetres of rainfall annually, some parts of Meghalaya get over 11,000 millimetres. This reflects on the per capita
availability. For example, it is around 650 cubic metres in the western region, supplied by the rivers of Kutch and
Saurastra and 18500 cubic metres in the East, supplied by the Brahmaputra. Temporal variations are with respect to
the number of rainy days in a year. In India, most of the rainfall is received during the two major monsoons, South-
West and North-East. In fact, the other seasons are relatively dry.
It is estimated that 85 percent of urban population has access to drinking water. However, only a small percentage
of the people have access to safe drinking water. The main source of drinking water is the reservoirs that are located
far away from the urban centres. To cite an example, Bangalore draws water from River Cauvery, which is around
100 Kms away from the city. Over the last couple of decades, there has been large exploitation of ground water for
domestic purposes. Roads and pavements are made of concrete in most of the cities and thus, have prevented the
possible recharging of groundwater aquifers during rains, leading to high run-offs and drastic decrease in the
groundwater table.

7. Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal
(JNNURM) Mission:
The Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM), launched by Government of India in
2005, is aimed at facilitating cities to take financially sustainable initiatives to improve service levels.
The objective is to create economically productive, efficient, equitable and responsive cities. The
Mission focuses on: integrated development of infrastructure services; securing linkages between asset
creation and maintenance for long term project sustainability; accelerating the flow of urban sector
investments; planned development of cities; renewal and re-development of inner city areas; and
universalisation of urban services. Under the Mission, an investment close to Rs. 100,000 crore is
planned for the period 2005 – 12, to be pooled by national government, state governments and Urban
Local Bodies (ULBs).
JNNURM cities are organized into 5 Groups/Networks having similar socio-economic profile,
complexities of urban problems and issues, size and urban growth patterns, along with natural affinity
to peer pair were formed. The ‘peer-pairing’ for cities in JNNURM is on the basis of:
Socio-economic profile and key economic drivers
Size of the city
Urban growth pattern

10. AMRUT Scheme to replace JNNURM:
After conferring the highest civilian honour, Bharat Ratna to Atal Bihari Vajpayee, the Narendra Modi government is
all set to name its scheme to rejuvenate 500 cities and towns after the first BJP prime minister.
This new avatar of JNNURM, named after first PM Jawaharlal Nehru will now be known as Atal Mission for
Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (AMRUT).It will be a 10 year programme with total investment of about Rs. 2
lakhs crore.
Though UPA-II had done preparatory work to approve phase-II of JNNURM, it could not clear the scheme. The
extended tenure of JNNURM-I ended last year and soon after coming to power the urban development minister M
Vnekaiah Naidu had announced to launch the new scheme.
Sources said the yet to be launched AMRUT will rely primarily on earlier components of the plan such as
augmentation of water supply, collection and treatment of sewage and garbage, building roads and flyovers. The new
additions being introduced include digitization and wi-fi zones in cities, which are also the main focus of the PM to
improve urban governance.
"However, since over 200 projects under JNNURM are still undergoing or have been stalled due to lack of funds, the
new scheme will have allocation of about Rs 7,000-8,000 crore to complete these projects," said a government
source.
He added there will be major emphasis on monitoring the scheme and tendering projects only after completing
preparatory work. "Most of the projects got delayed and there was cost overrun because of bad take off and poor
implementation. These issues would be addressed in a systematic manner.
