This manual produced by BIRD-K and DRDPR (GoK) provides the details of the Sachetana project that aims to provide safe drinking water to fluorosis affected populations through the adoption of innovative technologies for rainwater harvesting and groundwater recharge.

The project is being implemented through the Gram Panchayats of 60 villages from 4 taluks among three districts of Karnataka state over a period of five years (2006-11).

The objectives of the project include:

• Provision of safe drinking water through innovative rain harvesting structures
• Recharge of groundwater through excavation of percolation ponds
• Recharge of existing bore wells and direct recharge of aquifers
• Awareness generation activities to promote sustainable management and management of water resources and water harvesting structures.

The word Water is  is sufficient to fulfill the thirst as well as enough power to be  drowned away the entire universe.

We are very serious about providing a New Global Clean Drinking Water SVD project.  http://www.chakraworld.net/H2OTrust.swf                                                                                                                      

This research paper attempts to understand and map the Reverse Osmosis (RO) phenomenon, a technology that is turning out to be an important solution for drinking water treatment in rural Gujarat. Treatment plants with capacity ranging from 10 litres per hour (lph) to 6000 lph are now supplying drinking water in several hundred villages of the state. Small sized plants with capacity < 20 lph are used by individual families whereas medium to large sized plants (>100 lph) are being used for public consumption.

This set of case studies (in hindi), details the work of Megh Pyne Abhiyan and their network partners - Gramyasheel and Samta, in organising safe drinking water in participation with the local village communities, in the flood affected West Champaran, Supaul and Khagaria districts of Bihar.

This research study done as part of the author's dissertation work is an attempt to assess the water and sanitation situation of a resettlement colony, Madanpur Khadar, on the outskirts of New Delhi. The lack of safe drinking water and sanitation facilities is a major problem affecting most communities, particularly rural and urban slum and resettlement colonies like Madanpur Khadar. 

This presentation describes the work of WaterAid and Haritika in organising drinking water security through Integrated Water Resource Management (IWRM) approaches, in Dhasan river sub-basin (part of Bharar river basin), Nowgon block, Chattarpur district of Madhya Pradesh.
