Multi village water supply schemes in India [1]

There are a large number of multi village water supply schemes (including regional schemes) in India. The prime motivation
for setting up multi village schemes is based on the desire to provide full water supply coverage to rural areas despite local water scarcity and increasing contamination of sources. In such
circumstances, it becomes necessary to make use of distant water sources. However, treating and piping water from remote sources is often complex and expensive, and it is felt that the cost
of supply can be reduced and options broadened if a number of villages are served by one scheme.
