Analysis of Water Supply In Urban Areas
Journal Title: GRD Journal for Engineering - Year 2016, Vol 1, Issue 0
Abstract
Urban population in Surat city has been witnessing rapid growth over the years as evidenced by the fact that the percentage of urban population of the city increased from 27% to 32% in 2001 and is accepted to increase to 50% by 2050. This increase in urban population has major implications for infrastructure systems, which are accepted to support the needs of the growing population and plays a crucial role in the proper functioning of these areas. The quality of infrastructure services available in the city governs, to a large extent, the quality of life their citizens have. However, the continuous growth in population without a corresponding upgrading of infrastructure services have seriously compromised the ability of this service to function at peak efficiency levels. The pressure on the water supply, sewerage, drainage, solid waste management services is evident from the results of data obtained from research by government and non-government organizations. Data derived from study on infrastructure services across various cities suggest that water is available for an average of 2.9 hours per day across cities and towns in India and non-revenue water including physical and revenue losses accounts for 40-60 percent of total water supply. Around 50% do not have sewerage connection and less than 20 % of waste water is treated.
