Sustainable Water Supply Policy for Jaipur City

In the last few years, the ground water level in Rajasthan is going down rapidly. Due to intense heat, the dams are drying up resulting in severe water crisis particularly in city like Jaipur where drinking water supply solely depends upon ground water and dams. Major dams like Ramgarh and Bisalpur from where Jaipur city is getting water, have hardly any water left. The population of capital city Jaipur is rising at an alarming rate resulting in huge demand of water. It is high time to review the policy of drinking water supply especially for Jaipur city. During present study, efforts have been made to motivate the residents for conserving the water by of fering some lucrative incentives to them. The incentive given to users shall be linked with amount of water saved. Further, efforts have been made by conducting door to door survey to frame a policy for granting number of water connection per household.
