This book highlights the multi-pronged strategy for achieving
sustainable rural domestic water supply in India. It deepens the
understanding of groundwater (predominant source of water supply)
behaviour in response to natural processes in different geological
settings, analyses the factors influencing the performance of water
supply schemes; identifies the conditions under which
groundwater-based drinking water sources become sustainable,
suggests measures for improving the sustainability of drinking
water wells in hard rock regions (covering 2/3rd of India's
geographical area), presents a decision-making framework for
planning rural water supply schemes in the country for ensuring
long-term sustainability, and suggests physical strategies and
policy measures for achieving them. The analyses for development
and validation of various models that explain groundwater system
behaviour and performance of rural water supply schemes are
undertaken for different geological settings in Maharashtra, as the
state represents a microcosm of the various hydrological,
topographical, and geohydrological conditions encountered in the
country. The final analysis for proposing nation-wide strategies
considers the various hydrological, geological, geohydrological,
and topographical and climatic settings and groundwater
contamination and pollution in the country.
