The supply of safe drinking water, one of the Sustainable Development Goals and most important basic needs of life, is currently the major challenge before the governments in developing countries including India. The rapid growth of population, competing demands, pollution and depletion of water sources have posed a serious problem before the policy-maker and planners in our country. After 73rd Constitutional Amendment (1992) and Swajaldhara programme (2002), the government gave the responsibility of the management of drinking water to local bodies such as Gram Panchayats.In Haryana, 65 per cent population living in 6642 villages (Census, 2011). Haryana is one of the foremost states to provide piped water to its villages by 1992. But there are significant changes in sources of drinking water, used by rural households, with time.

With a discussion on the use of various sources of drinking water and the social and special attributes are analyses.The Panghal village lies in western district of Hisar. The climate of the district is characterised by its dryness and extreme temperature and scanty rainfall. According to Census of India (2011), 82 per cent households of this village used tap as a source of drinking water but in 2015 it decline (only 57 per cent).
