 Water and Sanitation (select and put from the material to be prepared for social forum)
To deliver the drinking water facility to all the people of rural areas, projects with various technologies will be launched in accordance with geographical situation and existing water sources. Priority will be accorded to complete those projects, which are not yet completed. In hilly region, piped water supply projects will be given priority as far as possible, taking into account the density of population. The drinking water sources, which are traditionally in use, will be improved and protected in the place where there is scattered settlement and where projects with pipe supply are not feasible. Pumping system with solar power and electric power will also be constructed, taking account of the accessibility of water source and the capability of consumers in operation, repair and maintenance of projects.
