 Water Resources
• Fresh water:a finite resource, its adequate quantity and quality
is essential for human existence. sustainable development.
• India has only 4% of global freshwater resources.
• As per estimates; in 1951, per capita annual freshwater
availability was 5,177 cubic meters which came down to 1,368
cubic meters in 2019.
• If present trend continues, in 2050, freshwater availability is
likely to decline to 1,140 cubic meters.

 Historical Background
• In pre-Independent India: Local communities designed their
own water management systems However with increasing
population and disruption in rainfall pattern and decrease in
storage, challenges related to scarcity of water have become
acute.
• Post Independence: State Govts implemented rural water
supply programs. In 1972, as part of Minimum Needs
Programme (MNP), Govt of India started supporting States
through Accelerated Rural Water Supply Programme
(ARWSP). Since then, Govt of India has taken a number of
initiatives to assist the States in their endeavor to enable
every rural household to have access to potable water.
 Previous Programmes
• National Water Supply Programme was launched in 1954, under the Health Sector.
• In 1972-73, ARWSP was launched to supplement State Government's MNP.
• In 1986, the National Drinking Water Mission, known as Technology Mission launched
to provide scientific input & technological solutions to address water scarcity.
• (1992-97), Sub-missions for tackling quality problem, scarcity of water sources, and
sustainability of the sources & the systems, were taken up.
• In 1999-2000, sector reforms were undertaken involving GPs/ local community in
planning, implementation and management of drinking water schemes, which was later
scaled up as Swajaldhara in 2002 and was implemented till 2007-08.
• In 2004-05, ARWSP became part of Bharat Nirman aiming at full coverage of habitations
by 2008-09.
• In 2009-10,ARDWSP was modified and renamed as National Rural Drinking Water
Programme (NRDWP) with major emphasis on ensuring sustainability of water
availability in terms of potability, adequacy, convenience, affordability and equity, on a
sustainable basis, adopting decentralized approach involving PRIs.
• In 2013, certain changes were introduced in NRDWP, providing focus on pipe water
supply schemes; wherever possible, enhancing service level from 40 lpcd to 55 lpcd;
thrust on water quality and JE-AES affected districts; O&M of ageing schemes.
• In 2017, NRDWP was restructured to make it more competitive,and outcome-based;
provide flexibility to states in implementing the programme by reducing its
components; and providing piped water supply with the only exception allowed in JE-
AES affected districts.
 Previous Programmes
• From 1951 to 2019, efforts were focused on providing safe drinking water supply to
rural population either through hand pumps, protected wells or piped water supply
with public stand posts as delivery points.
• Under NRDWP, National Water Quality Sub Mission (NWQSM) was launched in
February, 2017 with an objective to make provision of safe drinking water to Arsenic
and Fluoride affected habitations by March, 2021. It envisages that these habitations
will have access to safe drinking water either through piped water supply or short-term
measure, i.e. community based purification plant with provision of 8- 10 lpcd for
drinking and cooking purposes.
• Further, Ministry of Health and Family Welfare has identified 60 districts in five States,
which are affected with JE-AES. Department/ National Mission is providing special
assistance to States for providing safe drinking water in these affected districts.
• To enable PHEDs/ RWS departments to monitor quality of water supply and empower
local community to keep surveillance on quality of water supplied, Water Quality
Monitoring and Surveillance (WQM&S) programme is under implementation. The
activities include setting up and up-gradation of State, District and Sub-Division level
water quality testing laboratories, provisioning of mobile laboratories (for outreach and
to be used during calamity), procurement of Field Test Kits (FTKs), periodic monitoring
of water quality of various drinking water sources and capacity building of grassroot
level workers for basic water quality tests.
• Externally Aided Projects (EAPs)
 Schemes/ Sub-missions subsumed into JJM
• Rural Water Supply and Sanitation Project for low
income States (RWSSP-LIS)
• National Water Quality Sub-Mission (NWQSM)
• Water quality earmarked allocation (JE-AES)

 Jal Jeevan Mission
Vision
• Every rural household has drinking water
supply in adequate quantity of prescribed
quality on regular and long-term basis at
affordable service delivery charges leading
to improvement in living standards of rural
communities.
 Mission
Jal Jeevan Mission is to assist, empower and facilitate:
• States/ Uts
• in planning of strategy for ensuring potable drinking water security
on long-term basis
• for creation of infrastructure to provide FHTC by 2024 to every rural
household;
• to plan for their drinking water security;
• to develop institutions having focus on service delivery and
financial sustainability.
• in making provision and mobilization of financial assistance for
implementation of JJM
• GPs/ rural communities
• to plan, implement, manage, own, operate and maintain in-village
water supply systems;
• capacity building of the stakeholders and create awareness in
community on significance of water for improvement in quality of
life;
 Objectives
The broad objectives of the Mission are:
• to provide FHTC to every rural household; Schools, Anganwadis,
GP buildings, and community buildings;
• to prioritize quality- affected/ drought prone/ desert areas.;
• to monitor functionality of tap connections;
• to ensure ownership among community by way of contribution in
cash, kind and/ or labour and voluntary labour (shramdaan);
• to assist in ensuring sustainability of water supply system, and
funds for regular O&M;
• to empower and develop human resource in the sector; and
• to bring awareness on significance of safe drinking water and
involvement of stakeholders to make water everyone's business.
 Components under JJM
• development of in-village piped water supply
infrastructure to provide FHTC;
• development of reliable drinking water sources and/ or
augmentation of existing sources to provide long-term
sustainability of water supply system;
• wherever necessary, bulk water transfer, treatment
plants and distribution network to cater to every rural
household;
• technological interventions for removal of contaminants
where water quality is an issue;
• retrofitting of completed and ongoing schemes to
provide FHTCs at minimum service level of 55 lpcd;
• grey water management;
• support activities,
 Strategy
• Partnership with States/ UTs for achieving the objectives of
JJM.
• States/ UTs to plan for achieving drinking water security and
to provide FHTC to every rural household.
• GPs/ its sub-committee takes up/involved in planning,
implementation, management, O&M of water supply within
the villages in accordance of their constitutional mandate.
• VWSC/ Paani Samiti/ User Group, etc. plays the key role for
O&M, cost recovery, and good governance.
• Ensuring that every rural household has FHTC delivering
minimum 55 lpcd water of prescribed quality (BIS:10500) on
regular.
• State Government and its Departments are to play a true
role of facilitator. This approach will bring long- term
sustainability in the sector.
 Important Goals

groundwater/ springwater/ local or surface
water source of prescribed quality
•Multi Village Schemes where SVS is not
feasible
•Mini solar power-based piped water supply
in isolated/tribal hamlets
Lessons learnt from water supply program
• Some important lessons learnt from the water supply program:
• inadequate capital/O&M investments led to incomplete and/ or
defunct systems;
• withdrawal of excess ground water led to failure of systems;
• source sustainability measures improve the lifespan of water
supply systems;
• quite often, poor maintenance of schemes led to investments
going waste;
• there is a willingness by community to pay for assured service
delivery;
• in-village water supply system sustainability depends on
community ownership.
• the logical aspiration of people now is to have piped water supply
within their household premises which will help in improving
'ease of living'.
