Tóm tắt

The study concerns norms that have been established by the Government of India in order to attain a network of facilities to provide an acceptable level of water consumption within a stipulated time frame. The term acceptable level is crucial and it has a two-fold rationale. First, competing demand for greater investment in other sectors has left relatively small allocation for the domestic sector. In the face of resource constraint, the tendency was to impose economy measures. Second, the wide inter-state differences in the provision of rural water supply services and infrastructure requires governmental intervention. Thus, standard norms have been fixed for the provision of rural and urban water supply service. The current central rural water supply norms govern all central programs and are mostly adhered by state sector programs.
