    WATER SUPPLY SYSTEM

    BODH GAYA, BIHAR

    SANTOSH KUMAR
    M.Arch16/19
    Introduction
    Bodh Gaya is one of the most prominent Buddhist pilgrimage sites in India. In 2002,
    Bodh Gaya was declared as a UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and
    Cultural Organization) World Heritage Site. Bodh Gaya is governed by a Nagar
    Panchayat (Notified Area Council). The city is divided into 19 wards and has a
    population of 38,439 of which 19,908 are males while 18,531 are females as per
    report released by Census of India 2011.

    Water supply system


    Groundwater is the only source of water for the city dwellers. Earlier, water supply for
    domestic purposes was under the Public Health Engineering Department (PHED).
    Since 2017, water supply has been done by Jindal Water Infrastructure Limited, which
    is working with BUIDCO (Bihar Urban Infrastructure Development Corporation
    Limited). BUIDCO is an urban planning agency of the Government of Bihar (GoB).
    Jindal Water Infrastructure Limited has four groundwater extraction units along the
    bank of river Niranjana. Currently, both PHED and Jindal Water Infrastructure Limited
    are providing water to different wards, but 100% water supply coverage has not been
    achieved.
