| Summary: | This report outlines the key principles
of water safety planning for rural water supply in India.
Water safety planning represents a change of emphasis from
end-of-pipe testing to the management of risks of
contamination from source to mouth. End-of-pipe testing is
still necessary to verify that safe drinking water is being
delivered. The focus of the report is on the policy issues
concerning the adoption of water safety planning and the
institutional arrangements (roles and responsibilities)
needed to operationalize the approach. Recommendations are
provided on demonstrating and implementing the approach to
establish a full program. There are three objectives of this
study: 1) to consider policies for the delivery of safe
drinking water quality in rural areas; 2) to provide a
framework in which the various functions associated with a
change of emphasis towards managing risks to the safety of
drinking water can be incorporated into existing
institutional frameworks, in particular building on the
initiatives already taken in India to improve monitoring and
surveillance of drinking water quality; and 3) to suggest an
approach to demonstrate and implement such a framework. |
