1 Centre for Science and Environment International Conference on Health and Environment Surveillance of Drinking Water Quality - Safe Water Initiative Dr. Madan Nanoti Dy. Director & Head Geo-Environment Management Division National Environmental Engineering Research Institute, Nagpur. mv_nanoti@neeri.res.in

2 External assessment of the water supply system Quite a few managers of urban water supply tend to hold the contentions Their water supply system is unique Problems are also unique No scope to change Affairs must be continued as they are Attempt is essential to change this mind set Mind set may be changed by external assessment of the water supply system

3 Urban Water Supply Problems of Common Nature

4 Resources Constraints & Demand Pressure Rapid pace of urbanization Deteriorating environmental conditions Dwindling availability of water sources Sizeable investment needs Community culture of considering water supply as a social virtuous deed

5 Design and O & M Source selection, design and protection Treatment plant commensurate with site specific need Quality of service Adequacy of service coverage Reliability of service provision Post planning extension of service connections

6 Management and Revenues Consorted decision and long term policy Institutional and fiscal reforms Appropriate pricing policies Private sector participation Community involvement Motivation of human resources Reliable information system and data base

7 Adverse impact of the problems Large urban poor population lacking access to water and sanitation services Rest of the population remains dissatisfied with the facilities Health risk potential through water supply continues

8 Surveillance of Drinking Water Quality SDWQ

9 AIMS & OBJECTIVES Assessment of the present status of surveillance of drinking water quality programme Identification of deficiencies, if any, in the existing system and suggest remedial measures Action plan for improving the surveillance of drinking water quality programme Preparation of guidelines for initiating suitable measures for surveillance programme, where it is non-existent Improvement of water supply system

10 SDWQ Basis Assessment of water quality from source to consumer end Sanitary conditions Leak detection Infrastructure Performance of manpower Role of the water supply agencies Financial aspects Action against health problems Remedial actions Institutional and organizational reforms Community participation Support for surveillance Legal framework Drinking water quality standards
