When Facilities Become Excessive
2008
Ramesh, R. | Narayanasamy, N.
Tamil Nadu is one of the very few states that have ensured domestic water supply in even the remotest of villages. The problem, as of now, is relating to proper management of water service delivery to reach all the households, and maintenance of the technical installations/facilities created. The target of government of India with regard to levels of service to rural areas is 55 litre per capita daily (lpcd); and the dream is being able to deliver 70 lpcd. An empirical verification was done to find out the adequacy of facilities to fulfill this dream. According to the findings of this study, there are excessive facilities in almost all the villages, to the extent that some of the villages get more than twice of the vision contemplated. This is because there is excessive physical infrastructure available for water supply in almost all the villages that were studied. This is resulting in excessive pumping of water from the ground, wastage, adding to the pumping charges in terms of electricity bill and maintenance of the facilities.
