Providing water and sanitation to India’s millions is a challenging task. With over 20 million people without access to safe water supply and 100 million without safe sanitation, the sheer numbers indicate the massive effort required to provide these basic services to the people of the country. Just providing access, however, will not solve the problem unless the issues of quality and adequacy are also addressed. The minimum needs should be met and the quality of the services provided should be acceptable.

The present study assesses the status of three basic services - water supply, sanitation and municipal solid waste management. It covers over 300 cities and towns in the country including all metropolitan cities and selected Class I and Class II urban centres. The study covers all the states and union territories including the capitals, excepting Patna and Gandhinagar. The study was commissioned in 1999 and the data collection work took about a year.

The main objectives of the study were to a) assess the status of water supply, sanitation and solid waste management; b) analyse the revenue receipts and revenue expenditure of these services; and c) estimate the additional capital investment requirements for full coverage of population by these services from 1999 to 2022 (at five yearly intervals). The study covers the physical and financial aspects of all the three services selected for the study. A conscious decision was taken in the study to cover only the municipal area of the urban centres and not the areas falling within the jurisdiction of other authorities such as development authorities, cantonment boards, railways etc. This was done due to the time-frame of one year for the study which did not permit data collection from different agencies for the same service. The study gives the status of these services as provided by the public agencies and does not cover private provision.

A study of this magnitude can be successful only with the cooperation of the local agencies, which gave information on various aspects of the selected services. While every effort was made to collect as accurate a data as possible, it was not always possible to check it with the records of the agency. Records are often not computerised or kept properly, making data authentication difficult. However, wherever other data sources were available, attempts were made to cross-check the data collected and verify the authenticity of figures. Despite these problems, the data provided by this study does give a broad picture of the overall situation with respect to these services in the country.
