Water Supply Management
Water is the most essential commodity for the mankind and it is to be supplied to the public by the local authority both in Urban and Rural areas. Both the quantum and quality of water supplied is of the major concern. It is very common phenomenon that most of the Urban Local Bodies (ULB) are depending on ground water as the main drinking water source i.e. bore wells and open wells by installing a motor/ pumps. The water is stored in a service reservoir and then pumped to the public distribution network. The improper maintenance and management of the entire system leads to high O&M*cost. O&M cost is one ofthe important aspects in water supply which needs to be tracked by the ULB using properformats and updating precise data periodically.
