1.To ensure availability of at least one source of drinking water for each group of 250 people in rural areas as per the guidelines of Govt. of India.

2.Daily consumption per person is assumed to be 40 liters per day.

3. By 2001, all rural areas identified through 1993-94 survey were covered completely.

4.However, due to expiry of the life-span of old hand-pumps, some areas have once again become partially covered.

5.As per 2010-11 survey, the status of rural localities is as follows fully covered localities - 59,602

Partially covered localities - 48,040

By the end of 2011-12, a total of 79,541 localities were brought under coverage

1.The scope of work includes, but is not limited to the Design, Construction, Supply, Installation, Testing, Commissioning, Trial Run, 1 year of defect liability period and 10 yr.

2. O&M of all the Civil, Mechanical, Electrical and Instrumentation Works for the 220 MLD water Treatment Plant with other ancillary structures along with all material, labour and T&P, training to the maintenance personnel.

3.220 MLD water treatment plant to treat the raw water abstracted from River Ganga to the treated water quality as specified. Bidders are required to carry out water sample tests as per CPHEEO manual for verifying raw water quality and design the WTP accordingly.

All water rates will be set so as to convey the scarcity value of

water and to generally motivate economy in water usage. While

deciding the tariff this would be kept in view that those who

cannot afford to pay will not be deprived off minimum quantity of

potable water. Water tariffs will be set for progressively move

towards full cost of operation and maintenance. This will be

matched by a rigorous program of improvement in the efficiency

of operation and maintenance.

For all water supplies a three or four-stepped water tariffs

will be charged, with the highest rate for excessive use of water.

This stepped water tariff will be set to ensure magnitude

difference in water rates between the lowest and highest rates. For

the first stepped rate of relatively cheap water, the set rate will be

common to all water users.

Differing stepped water rates may be charged

for agricultural, industrial, commercial, and

municipal purposes. In all cases, the highest

rate will be a strong disincentive for profligate

water usage. A program of water metering for

water management purposes will apply to all

significant water users irrespective of source

and water ownership.

Water Resources will be developed in a planned manner

The norms for coverage would shift from habitation to House Hold Level

To provide a supportive Policy and Legal frame work to ensure safe water availability to the population on sustainable basis.

All new projects shall be planned based on micro water shed planning basis so as to ensure equity in use of surplus water.

Priorities will be fixed for different uses of water distribution.

To develop a framework with cost effective

methods to ensure safe water to all.

Maintenance of the existing projects will be done

along with the construction of new projects.

For efficient water resources planning a well-

developed information system will be initiated.

Demand based water management will replace the
