Continuous water supply, Intermittent water supply, Behavioural change, Non-revenue water, water charges, Survey data

For any change in facility provided to the public brings behavioural change among the masses. This brings considerable impact when habits of using water gets changed of people living in a city having population over one million. The proposed continuous water supply scheme is likely to have moderate environmental and social impact risk during construction and at operational stage. Most of the nuclear families living in cities have set schedule according to the water supply coming to their house. In Indian culture, most of kitchen related works are being done by the ladies of the house. Even in urban slums, the ladies have to struggle to fetch water from the common stand posts installed in slums. So for the execution of such continuous water supply project, there is a need of simplified environmental and social impact assessment. The specific environmental and social issues considered are topography, climate, loss of productive soil, water resources, social-environmental, air, noise, soil quality, ecology, socio-economic and gender issues and other sensitive socio-environmental sites. Before conceiving any project which can change life of common people should be well consulted with public. The public consultations provide a platform for people’s participation in the process through information dissemination, discussions about people’s concerns and issues, developing ownership and participatory decision-making. Public participation and community consultations are integral part of environmental and social assessment.
