The situation of the slum dwellers is poor due to lack of housing, infrastructure, water, especially being deprived of clean drinking water facilities. The municipal water which is supplied is often contaminated due to age old distribution systems and bad maintenance. As a result the residents of the slums are reporting cases of various diseases. The project intends to address this issue by setting up water plants (using RO technology). The beneficiaries would contribute 25% for the project as also be charged Rs 2-3 for 20 litres of water.
