most important topic for more clearance of water quality standards which covers latest Indian and WHO guidelines and provides a real scenario of water standards in India and the recent advances made for purification of water in India and worldwide. The presentation is little bit lengthy but deals with all required aspects in short.
Well this is my first presentation in the slide share. In this presentation i have mentioned about the concept of water quality and guidelines for it in with the perspective to human health and its management in Nepal.
Suggestion and feedbacks are really welcome.
Over the last decade, demand for spring management has increased as traditional spring sources have started drying up or becoming contaminated. In response, communities, NGOs and state agencies began dedicated spring protection programmes. In the Himalayas, the State of Sikkim and organizations such as Central Himalayan Action and Research Group (CHIRAG) and People Science Institute (PSI) started identifying and protecting spring recharge areas around 2007. The difference between these programmes and many other previous efforts is that they went beyond supply-side improvements to focus on the use of hydrogeology to map springsheds for targeted interventions.
The Advanced Centre for Water Resources Development and Management (ACWADAM), a research and capacity-building organization comprised of hydrogeologists and other experts began lending their expertise and building capacity of stakeholders. ACWADAM provides technical support, training and materials in hydrogeology to all network partners as well as others in India and the region. Similar programmes began independently in most of the mountain regions of India. Arghyam, a funding organization that was supporting many of these programmes, noticed that these disparate initiatives shared commonalities despite geographic diversity. They thus organized and funded a meeting of these various organizations in June 2014, and the Springs Initiative was born.
The springs initiative aims to tackle the current water crisis and to ensure safe and sustainable access to water for all, by promoting responsible and appropriate management of aquifers, springsheds, and watersheds and conserving ecosystems in partnership with communities, governments and other stakeholders.
This presentation has been developed as a part of the springs initiative to promote an understanding of springs and their role in mountainous areas.

An overview of the synergies between water, sanitation, and hygiene, and neglected tropical diseases for the END7 Student Advocacy Day in April 2015. This presentation reviews the linkages between WASH and NTDs and highlights current collaborations between the sectors.
This presentation discusses the drinking water quality parameters, drinking water quality standards, water quality index and classification of water bodies and standards
Water quality is one of the most important factors in a healthy ecosystem. Clean water supports a diversity of plants and animals.
The quality of the water you consume or use in municipal or industrial processes must meet specific parameters to ensure that drinking water remains free from contaminants that could cause health issues.
Water quality measurements include physical, chemical, and biological parameters.
Water has its own taste, color, smell and constituents. Not all water can be used for all purposes. Eg. Sea water can not be used by us for drinking. The suitability of water for different purposes is determined by its quality parameters. The Quality of water is equally important than quantity. Even if present in huge amounts, we can not use salt water in many life support activities. Water has its own Physical properties, Chemical composition and Biological Properties. This module highlights the water quality parameters that are essential.
Here you will find brief description about water sampling. actually it's so important to examine the water we use our daily life in order to avoid negative impact of water.
We can work together to keep the environment clean so the plants, animals and people who depend on it remain healthy :) Working together, we can make pollution less of a problem and make our world a better place :D :)

3. • INTRODUCTION
• PROBLEM STATEMENT: WORLD AND INDIA
• FRAMEWORK FOR SAFE DRINKING WATER
• GUIDELINE VALUES
• PROGRAMMES FOR SAFE WATER
4. • In 1981, 34th WHA in a resolution emphasized that safe
drinking water is a basic element of “primary health”
care which is a key to the attainment of “health for all”.
• A report prepared by the World Health Organization in
cooperation with the World Bank showed that in 1975,
some 1230 million people were without safe water
supplies. These appalling facts were central to the
United Nations decision to declare an International
Drinking Water Supply and Sanitation decade,
beginning in 1981.
5. • Further, the VI Five-Year Plan of India(1980-85) had made a
special provision for availability of safe Drinking water for
the masses. Therefore, the standard was prepared with the
objective of assessing the quality of water resources, and to
check the effectiveness of water treatment and supply by
the concerned authorities.
• Routine surveillance of drinking water supplies must be
carried out by the relevant authorities to understand the
risk of specific pathogens and to define proper control
procedures.
• Precautions/care should be taken to prevent contamination
of drinking water from chlorine resistant parasites such as
cryptosporidium species and giardia.
6. • Free from pathogenic agents and harmful
chemical substances and excessive amount of
minerals which could produce undesirable
physiological effects,
• Pleasant to the taste i.e. free from colour and
odour and
• Usable for domestic purposes.
7. Further, the VI Five-Year Plan of India(1980-85) had made a special
provision for availability of safe Drinking water for the masses.
Therefore, the standard was prepared with the objective of assessing
the quality of water resources, and to check the effectiveness of water
treatment and supply by the concerned authorities.
Safe water pleasant to taste, odour, colourless, and does not stain
clothes and utensils.
A per capita availability of less than 1700 cubic metres (m3) per year is
termed as a water-stressed condition while per capita availability below
1000 (m3) per year is termed as a water scarcity condition.

each year, approximately 6% of all deaths globally and the
loss of greater than 750 lac healthy life years.
The lack of adequate sanitation and safe water has
significant negative health impacts including diarrhoea,
referred to by travellers as the "Delhi Belly" and experienced
by about 1 crore visitors annually.

GOAL 7 : Ensure
environment stability.
TARGET 7.C : Halve the
proportion of people
without sustainable
access to safe drinking
water and basic
sanitation by 2015 .
INDICATOR 7.8 :
Proportion of population
with sustainable access
to an improved water
source in urban and
rural.
17. • Over the past 21 years, > 210 crore people gained access to
improved drinking water sources since 1990, exceeding the
MDG target.
• The proportion of the global population using improved
sources reached 89% in 2010, up from 76% in 1990.
• Drinking water coverage has increased in all regions except
the Caucasus and Central Asia. There, coverage rates
dropped from 89% in 1990 to 86%in 2011.
• Despite unprecedented progress, 76.8 crore people still
drew water from an unimproved source in 2011.
18. • 83% of the population without access to an improved drinking
water source (63.6 crore) live in rural areas.
• 38% of the 620 crore people globally using an improved drinking
water source do not enjoy the convenience and associated health
and economic benefits of piped drinking water at home.
• It is encouraging to note that the share of people relying on
untreated surface water as their main drinking water source
dropped from 6% in 1990 to 3% in 2011.
• Still, over 18 crore people rely on rivers, streams, ponds or lakes to
meet their daily drinking water needs.
19. Current Situation: >10% of the world's
population do not have access to safe drinking
water.
40% do not have sufficient water for adequate
living and hygiene.
By 2050, water scarcity will affect 200 to 700
crore people out of total 930 crore.
20.

22. India with 16% of the world's population has
only 4% of the fresh water resources.
Per capita availability of fresh water in India
has dropped from 1816 cubic meters 2001
census,was to 1545 cubic meters as per the
2011 census and is estimated that it will be
833 in 2025 and 899 in 2050

24. In many rural areas, women still have to
walk a distance of about 2.5 kms to reach
the source of water.
On an average, a rural woman walks
more than 14000 km a year just to fetch
water. Water source being open dug well,
the quality of water is poor; dirty, saline
and has turbidity.
27. • Measures reduction in detected disease incidence
or prevalence.
• Microbial or chemical hazards with high measurable

29. What is Water safety plans?
It comprises of the three essential actions that
are the responsibility of the drinking-water
supplier in order to ensure that drinking-water is
safe.
System
assessment.
Effective
operational
monitoring;
and
Management
30. The primary objectives of a WSP in ensuring good drinking-
water supply practice are :
Minimization of
contamination of
source waters.
Reduction or removal
of contamination
through treatment
processes.
Prevention of
contamination during
storage, distribution
and handling of
drinking-water.
Guided by health-based targets and overseen through drinking-water supply surveillance.
31. 1.
• Multidisciplinary team of experts with a thorough understanding of the drinking
water system.
2.
• For eg. engineers, catchment & water managers, water quality specialists,
environmental or public health or hygienist professionals, operational staff and
representatives of consumers.
3.
• Provides an overview description of the drinking-water system, including
characterization of the source, identification of potential pollution sources in the
catchment, measures for resource and source protection, treatment processes,
storage and distribution infrastructure.
32. Objectives of operational monitoring are :
1. For the drinking-water supplier to
monitor each control measure in a timely
manner to enable effective system management
and
2. To ensure that health-based targets are
achieved.
33. Parameters used in operational monitoring
• Turbidity
• UV absorbency
• Algal growth
• Flow and retention time
• Colour, conductivity and local meteorological events
For source
waters
• Disinfectant concentration and contact time
• UV intensity
• pH
• Light absorbency
• Membrane integrity
• Turbidity and Colour
For treatment
• Chlorine residual monitoring -- A sudden disappearance of an otherwise stable
residual can indicate ingress of contamination.
• Faecal indicator bacteria
• Pressure measurement and turbidity are also useful in operational
monitoring.
In piped
distribution
systems
34. • Effective management implies definition of actions to
be taken in response to variations that occur during
normal operational conditions; of actions to be taken
in specific incident situations where a loss of control of
the system may occur; and of procedures to be
followed in unforeseen and emergency situations.
• Management procedures should be documented
alongside system assessment, monitoring plans,
supporting program and communication required to
ensure safe operation of the system.
35. • “The continuous and vigilant public health assessment and review of the safety
and acceptability of drinking-water supplies”
(WHO, 1976).
• Done by independent agency (state public health department).
• Investigates the activity and identifies the corrective or preventive measures and
gives feedback to water supplying agency.
• This surveillance contributes to the protection of public health by promoting
improvement of the quality, quantity, accessibility, coverage, affordability and
continuity of water supplies (known as service indicators).
• Complementary to the quality control function.
36. Regular testing of
residual chlorine at
consumer level.
Regular collection of
water samples and
testing of water
samples for E. coli or
thermotolerant
bacteria and
coliform count.
Regular interaction
with supplying
agency.
Monitor water
borne diseases for
early warning.
38. • On-site inspection and evaluation by
qualified individuals of all conditions,
devices, and practices in the water supply
system that pose an actual danger to the
health and well being of the consumers.
Sanitary
inspection
• Minimum level of analysis should include:
• Testing for indicators for faecal pollution.
• Turbidity
• Chlorine (residual)
• pH
Water
sampling
and analysis
39. • For establishing a baseline status in the country,
1. It is suggested that all district and sub-district
level water quality testing laboratories conduct
drinking water quality analysis once each in pre-
monsoon and post-monsoon seasons in a year for
chemical parameters and bacteriological
2. And then subsequently monitor only those
parameters which are found to be present or the
concentrations nearing the desirable limits.
40. • Representative of the different sources from which water is
obtained by the public or enters the system.
• Representative of the conditions at the most unfavourable
sourcesThere are about 50 lakh reported public drinking water
sources in the country.
• Considering many unreported and/or private sources, the total
number of drinking water exceed 60 lakh.
• If these are to be tested twice in a year (for bacteriological analysis)
and once a year (Pre-monsoon) for chemical analysis, 120 lakh
water samples have to be tested in the country in a year.
41. • As reported by States, about 1,869 district and sub-district water testing
laboratories (including labs other than PHED labs) exist in the country, though
many of them are still not fully functional.
• If all such laboratories are made fully functional and considering a capacity of
3,000 samples to be tested in a year per laboratory, the number of sources that
could be tested in a year would be 3,000x 1869 = 56 lakh samples i.e. about 50%.
• Under National Rural Drinking Water Programme (NRDWP), provision for setting
up new sub-district level laboratories has been made to bridge the gap.
• Further, the decentralized Water Quality Monitoring & Surveillance Programme
started in the year 2005-06 envisages indicative testing of all drinking water
sources (both public and private) using simple field test kits and only positively
tested samples to be referred to District and Sub-district water testing laboratories
for confirmation.

85. • 1949 The Environment Hygiene Committee (1949) recommends the
provision of safe water supply to cover 90 per cent of India’s population in
a timeframe of 40 years.
• 1950 The Constitution of India confers ownership of all water resources to
the government, specifying it as a state subject, giving citizens the right to
potable water.
• 1969 National Rural Drinking Water Supply program launched with
technical support from UNICEF and Rs.254.90 crore is spent during this
phase, with 1.2 million bore wells being dug and 17,000 piped water
supply schemes being provided.
• 1972-73 Introduction of the Accelerated Rural Water Supply Program
(ARWSP) by the Government of India to assist states and union territories
to accelerate the pace of coverage of drinking water supply.
86. Drinking Water Supply Programs &
Policies at a Glance
• 1981 India as a party to the International Drinking Water Supply and
Sanitation Decade (1981-1990) declaration sets up a national level Apex
Committee to define policies to achieve the goal of providing safe water to
all villages.
• 1986 The National Drinking Water Mission (NDWM) is formed.
• 1987 Drafting of the first National Water Policy by the Ministry of Water
Resources.
• 1991 NDWM is renamed the Rajiv Gandhi National Drinking Water
Mission(RGNDWM).
• 1994 The 73rd Constitutional Amendment assigns Panchayati Raj
Institutions (PRIs) the responsibility of providing drinking water.
87. • The focus of the Rajiv Gandhi National Drinking Water Mission
(RGNDWM) was to adopt a community-based demand-driven
approach instead of the hitherto government forced supply driven
approach.
• In doing so, the projects under RGNDWM are basically community
participation oriented in nature – with a part (minimum of 10% of
the proposal) of the capital cost required to be borne by the
community themselves.
• The balance amount is contributed by the Government of India.
88. Drinking Water Supply Programs &
Policies at a Glance
• The Rajiv Gandhi National Drinking Water Mission (RGNDWM) had
set a target of extending access to safe drinking water for 100
percent of the rural population by 2007.
• Although this target has not been fully achieved, the expansion of
coverage attained during the 1990s, as reflected in the Census data,
shows the objective of 100 percent safe water access should not be
difficult to achieve in the next five years or so.
• Indeed, the Eleventh Five Year Plan (2007-08 to 2011- 12) foresees
the provision of safe drinking water to all rural habitations.
89. Drinking Water Supply Programs &
Policies at a Glance
• 1999 For ensuring sustainability of the systems, steps are initiated
to institutionalize community participation in the implementation
of rural drinking water supply schemes through sector reform.
• Total Sanitation Campaign (TSC) as a part of reform principles
initiated in 1999 to ensure sanitation facilities in rural areas with
broader goal to eradicate the practice of open defecation. As part of
the program, a nominal subsidy in the form of incentive is given to
rural poor households for construction of toilets.
• TSC gives strong emphasis on Information, Education and
Communication, Capacity Building and Hygiene Education for
effective behavior change with involvement of PRIs and NGOs.
90. Drinking Water Supply Programs &
Policies at a Glance
• 2002 Nationwide scaling up of sector reform in the form of
Swajaldhara. The National Water Policy is revised,
according priority to serving villages that did not have
adequate sources of safe water and to improve the level of
service for villages classified as only partially covered.
• India commits to the Millennium Development Goals to
halve by 2015, from 1990 levels, the proportion of people
without sustainable access to safe drinking water and basic
sanitation.
• 2004 All drinking water programs are brought under the
umbrella of the RGNDWM.
91. • 2005 The Government of India launches the Bharat
Nirman Program for overall development of rural areas
by strengthening housing, roads, electricity, telephone,
irrigation and drinking water infrastructure.
• The target is to provide drinking water to 55,069
uncovered habitations; those affected by poor water
quality and slipped back habitations based on 2003
survey, within five years.
92. Drinking Water Supply Programs &
Policies at a Glance
• 2007 Pattern of funding under the Swajaldhara Scheme changes
from the previous 90:10 central-community share to 50:50 centre-
state share. Community contribution is now optional.
• The approach paper for the 11th Five Year Plan calls for a
comprehensive approach which encompasses individual health
care, public health, sanitation, clean drinking water, access to food
and knowledge about hygiene and feeding practice.
93. • The Ministry of Drinking Water and Sanitation (until 2011
the Department of Drinking Water Supply in the Ministry of
Rural Development) is responsible for rural water supply
and sanitation.
• The Ministry of Housing and Urban Poverty Alleviation and
the Ministry of Urban Development share the responsibility
for urban water supply and sanitation.
94. • There are about a 100,000 rural water supply systems in
India.
• At least in some states, responsibility for service provision is
in the process of being partially transferred from State
Water Boards and district governments to Panchayati Raj
Institutions (PRI) at the block or village level.
• Blocks are an intermediate level between districts and
villages).
