| description |
India is home to more than 370 million
people in urban areas. No city in the country meets the
government's targets for continuous pressurized safe
water with full coverage and full cost recovery. Groundwater
sources are also being depleted putting severe constraints
on economic development. To make up for unreliable services,
households have invested significantly in alternate
arrangements over the past three decades. Reliable
estimates of asset condition and performance in Indian
cities are difficult to establish, given the poor culture of
documentation, data collection, and reporting. Data drawn
from several benchmarking initiatives indicate the
following: service delivery parameters are well below
established norms, with coverage through piped water supply
ranging between 55 percent and 89 percent, and while per
capita availability is fairly high, at 90-120 liters per
day, no city offers continuous water supply. Daily supply
averages four hours, with many cities alternating supply
every other day. These challenges occur in a context of
limited data or data management capability and largely
unknown conditions of existing assets, which present
difficulties in assessing the costs and timelines involved
in improving service levels and operational efficiencies.
Moreover, the investments required are likely to be
significant, particularly since most cities have seen little
systematic investment in asset management and expansion over
the years. Simultaneously, it is recognized that investments
alone will not be effective in the context of complex and
fragmented institutions with little accountability; lack of
capacity to run utilities efficiently and meet performance
standards; weak commercial orientation; interference in
utility operations by external entities; and the absence of
a regulatory framework focused on customer service and
financial sustainability |
