1 of 26 Challenges of Water Supply & Sanitation for Urban & Rural Areas By P. S. Mallik General Manager – Corporate Sustainability 6 th April 2016

2 of 26 * * Conditions Apply Population growth & urbanization Migration & industrialization Increase in production & consumption Results in ever-increasing demands for freshwater resources

3 of 26 Global Challenges & Opportunities UN World Water Development Report 2015 Investment in water & Sanitation Depleting level of ground water (4–5cm/year) Return on investment has been estimated at US$5 to US$28 per dollar One in four people will be affected by chronic shortages of fresh water Global water demand to increase by 55% by 2050 Severe depletion in ground water level Global water demand to increase by 55% by 2050 Severe depletion in ground water level

4 of 26 Water & Sanitation issues in India Quality of water Ground water contaminatio n Sewage contaminatio n Urban & Rural areas 1 lakh people die every year due to water borne diseases High levels of Fluoride, Arsenic & salinity in 600+ districts 70% of water supply is polluted with Sewage India ranks 120 th among 122 nations in terms of water quality ranking 1.1 billion people still practices open defecation Reference: Report by WHO/UNICEF Joint Monitoring Programme for Water Supply and Sanitation

5 of 26 Challenges in sanitation Benefits of providing adequate sanitation facility are 5 times more than the investment Making positive behavioural change to address sanitation issues 626 million people practicing open defecation Less than 50% have access to improved sanitation facility Lack of WASH (Water, Sanitation & Health) takes huge toll on wellbeing and consequential economic loss Ref: WHO report 2015

22 of “ After first showers received in the second week of June, it was a long dry spell due to which majority of farmers lost their kharif crop and there was no work available. Then we started the farm bunding work through project. It helped in two ways - first we got wages locally and second we could protect our fields from soil erosion and runoff.” -Resident of Damalwadi village “Women are now organized into self-help groups and have started their saving and credit activities. Village development committees with the representation of all sections are also formed” - Resident of Dongarwadi village “Initial village meetings, exposure visits and awareness generation programs helped us to bring common understanding regarding current situation and problems related to water, agriculture, livelihood, sanitation, etc. in our village. Participatory methods adopted in proposing possible interventions helped us to come together” - Resident of Joharwadi village
