Water for Billion+People
The rapidly urbanizing Indian population is expected to reach a figure close to 600 million urban people by 2031. This massive transition is creating serious challenges for urban planners and ULBs, especially that of ensuring quality water supply to these citizens. Indian cities have for long lived with intermittent water supply systems riddled with a variety of problems ranging from high levels of NRW to contamination issues.
-
Non-Revenue Water ranging from 50 to 75%.
- Water supply coverage Only about 64%.
- Intermittent Supply
- Poor billing mechanism
As a solution to this situation several reforms have been initiated by the government which include introduction of performance linked PPP contracts, up gradation of existing ageing assets, 100% metering and efficient operation and maintenance of the supply system. Under its two schemes JnNURM and UIDSSMT, central government finances the water distribution reforms projects (24x7 water supply projects) to the extent of 70 percent & 80 percent respectively.
Vishvaraj Infrastructure Ltd. provides global solutions that contribute to sustainable development in the water sector through innovation in the design, construction and operation of drinking water treatment plants, distribution system reforms, etc.
