• India’s household water security is rated as 1 on a five point
scale.
• In case of scarcity, worst sufferers are individuals with less
economic means.
• Situation is worst when there is scarcity of an essential
commodity.
To analyse the consumption by marginalized households,
following have been used:
1) Percentage of people who have switched to cheaper or lower
quality of water either because of less availability or low
affordability of water.
2) Per capita household consumption of water per day in
marginalised sample.

Premise on which Privatization
argument of DJB is based
There is large scale leakages in the existing network as
part of Non Revenue Water
There is extreme shortage of Water.
Condition of pipe lines used in the distribution
channels requires large scale repairs.

Water Distribution Scenario 2012
MGD
Water Through Different Sources 830
Less : Leakages @ 40% (As per JICA) 332
Water Distributed 498
Less : Sewage Treatment Capacity 398
Polluted Water Discharge 88
22
• Experts say that if 332 mgd water leakage was there on
daily basis then there will be large scale flooding
everywhere.
JALADHIKAR

Total Water Requirement of Delhi
2011
• JICA (274.4 lpcd * 18 million population).
•LD&I (150 lpcd * 18 million population).
23
JALADHIKAR

As per DJB Water Supply Figures.
• 40% leakage loss is claimed by JICA out of actual production of 830
MGD is 332 mgd the remaining water is only being supplied in Delhi i.e.
498 mgd.
• LD&I report quotes that actual water being supplied is not 830 mgd but
approximately 490 mgd.
• Example:-Sonia Vihar WTP Production - As per the flow measurement
done on all the three emanating water mains the production of treated
water is average 95 mgd only while the daily production from this plant is
being claimed around 140 mgd.
• Water flows up, to surface due to higher density of earth below. As there
is no visible leakages on the surface, therefore it can be said that there is
no leakages.
• There are several equipments with DJB for detecting leakages. DJB LD&I
report clearly shows negligible leakages after survey.
24
JALADHIKAR

The whole premise on which privatization
argument is based is false
25
• Own report of DJB LD&I’s report dated 14/5/12 says only 0.00015%
leakages.
• On analysis we found that there is no overall shortage of Water.
• It says that there is sufficient life span left for the pipe lines.
• DJB is already taking care of NRW is following manners with claim
to bring NRW below 10%.
a)Since there is negligible losses in the area hence the real increase of water supply through
pipe replacement is not possible.
b) Water meters are already being installed by DJB through contractor with 5 years
maintenance.
c) Billing system has already been handed over to Tata Consultancy Services to rectify
unauthorized connections.
JALADHIKAR

Privatization of Distribution and
Management of Water Services
• Existing good Infrastructure is being transferred to private sector
without any cost to them.
• Initially the contractor are being awarded repairs contracts of total amount
of around Rs 1100 crores for approximately 100000 connections which
comes to a cost of Rs 1,10,000 per connection.
• Rate of operation charges being offered to contractor is Rs 4.15/KL, current
rate of recovery is only 2.2/KL. Loss to DJB is 1.75KL.
• Figure of leakages have been manipulated and its own department report is
being ignored.
• Shree P.K Tripathi the C.S of Delhi Govt. has given a statement in press
declaring the LD&I’s report dated 14/5/12 false and baseless which has been
subsequently denied by DJB.
• All four water PPP projects of Nangloi, Malviya Nagar, Mehrauli, and Vasant
Vihar are prepared in the interest of the syndicate of corrupt contractors.

Public supply of household water in Delhi
• Highly uneven
• Available water should be distributed based on minimum recommended water supply.
• Drinkable quality of water should be supplied within the houses as currently either
bottled water is used for drinking or water purifiers are used.
• Each area has its own specific problem hence should be dealt with individually.
• Non availability of municipal water (like in Jamia Nagar) leads to exploitation of other
sources of water especially ground water. It should be checked.
• Water should be supplied to unauthorized colonies as well because if they are allowed
to exist then they need water.
• Water supply within the premises offers large health gains. These health gain can
especially be derived in low income areas like Sawada.
• Areas like Trilokpuri where sewage and water pipelines are placed together, leakages
should be repaired immediately. DJB has equipments to detect these leakages.
• Quality checks of water supplied by private vendor should be done on a regular basis.

Water pricing
Households are not very sensitive to prices of
water.
The sensitivity and income of household are
inversely related
Pricing affects more the low income categories
who are consuming below norms and it has low
effect on higher income groups.
In this sense it is a regressive policy.
Hence pricing is not a good tool manage the
demand.
JALADHIKAR
President, (M) 981001975329

Consumption by marginalized
Water consumption by marginalized
is far below the recommended norms.
Low consumption of water has
serious health implications.
Water supply should be equitable.
JALADHIKAR
President, (M) 981001975330

Conservation
Best way is to spread public awareness on
means to save water at home.
Sensitizing people towards environment is
also a good way to conserve water.
Sufficient municipal supply will reduce
unchecked ground water extraction.
Compulsory tank bells and penalties if water
is overflowing by the local authorities.
