Now a day the drinking water shortage is arising due to many reasons like pollution, chemicals etc., and also World Bank assists some of the programs relating to the drinking water supply in some countries.Drinking water is a basic requirement for life and a determinant of standard of living. However, besides government efforts, supply and demand side factors of both surface and groundwater determine the level of drinking water available to people. This limits drinking water supply provision and raises the delivery cost. Decline in groundwater table and availability of surface water, particularly in summer months, has put large number of people in risk for drinking water. The study observes those activities like operation and maintenance of drinking water supply schemes; water quality monitoring; groundwater conservation and rainwater harvesting measures have to be implemented for better provision of drinking water supply. Further, an integrated institutional system for water quality monitoring and groundwater recharging seems to be necessary.
