East Medinipur Water Supply Project

Author & Editor

The Public Health Engineering Directorate (PHED), Government of West Bengal with technical and financial assistance from Asian Development Bank has taken up a Project called West Bengal Drinking Water Improvement Sector Improvement Project (WBDWSIP). The Project name, to a great extent self-explanatory, is being rolled out in 4 districts in the State with different as well as mixed challenges, posed by the nature. In East Midnapur district, WBDWSIP, has launched one of the State’s most ambitious plans as its Sub-Project. It will cover the rural and semi urban areas with treated piped water supply ensuring sustainable provision of 70 lpcd (litres per capita per day) to each habitation affected by saline water. Of the 3 Sub-Projects of WBDWSIP now active, it aims to provide drinking water security, with an objective of a complete shift from hand pumped tube-wells in a phased manner. It targets potable water connections to individual houses through combination of sources -- groundwater, surface-water and rain water harvesting – appropriate for local conditions and project economics.
