摘要

There is no doubt that accessibility of drinking water for rural households in India has increased over thendecades, partly owing to concerted efforts by the state and partly owing to a rise in income of the people. Publicnprovision of drinking water is primarily made through the tap whereas private provision is through the tube well.nHouseholds opt more for a tube well than for other sources owing to its reliability. The study finds a highlynsignificant positive correlation between overall deficiency index and poverty ratio, a significantly negativenrelationship between the literacy rate and the percentage of cholera cases at times of deficiency.nDrinking water in rural India is contaminated and about 18% of rural households are reported to have filteredntheir drinking water but very few have scientifically treated it before drinking. All this indicates that there is angreater need to improve the water supply including quantity, quality, accessibility and dependability. An integratednwater management approach has to be adopted to improve and build upon the existing structure which is highlyndecentralized and dispersed. This would have important bearing on poverty reduction, environmental sustenancenand sustainable economic development.
