Situation to imagine: 
•	Year 2028. Jal Jeevan Mission has achieved 100% coverage. All rural households, schools, Anganwadi (institutions in villages) have functional household tap connections (FHTC). The service level achieved are: household tap connection providing water in adequate quantity, i.e. at least 55 lpcd, of prescribed quality, i.e. BIS:10500 standard, on regular basis, i.e. continuous supply in long-term.
•	At India level, 25% of tap connections have conjunctive use sources, which means they are connected to water supply system having both surface water source as well as groundwater source. 27% of tap connections are connected to only surface water sources. 48% tap water connections are connected to only ground water.
•	The Government has spent almost 9 lakh crore rupees (combined central share and state share) from year 2019 till 2028 to achieve this 100% tap connections in rural households.
•	This tap connections to all households and village institutions are expected to reduce women drudgery which used to be there when tap connections were not there. It is also expected to reduce child mortality, increase overall health condition, job creation, reduce DALY (Disability Adjusted Life Year), and many more.
But
•	Operation and Maintenance (O&M) is responsibility of village. But villages may not have adequate expertise to manage the O&M of water supply schemes. 
•	Villagers may not be able to collect complete user fee.
•	Household level Water meter may not be possible for every household. Therefore, volumetric billing may not be possible.
•	A lot of wastewaters will be produced, but managing the wastewater may or may not be there.
•	So much of water required for the entire nation. We may not have so much groundwater or surface water. There could be temporal or geographical shortages. Already groundwater shortage is evident as per CGWB.
•	Grievance redressal system could be hit or miss kind of.
•	Not sure whether villages are able to meet the O&M expenses from user fees. Personally, I am not confident. So, villages will be dependent on State and Central Finance Commission Grants to take care of O&M expenses.
•	There will be changes in weather pattern due to the effects of climate change. There could be heavy rain in some parts of the country, less rain in some other parts causing draught.
•	All states can have O&M guidelines or Manuals, but implementation may not be perfect.
•	Digital inventorization of assets or mapping of water supply assets may not have happened at very accurate level.
•	Digitally monitoring of quality, quantity, etc. might not have implemented .
We aspire:
•	Utility approach adopted. Micro Utility at village level, Macro Utility at District level or intermediate level between village and District Level.
•	Villages may aspire to have equal status that of nearby cities; but villagers may be getting 55 LPCD in contrary to 135 LPCD supply for towns and cities.
•	No Non-Revenue Water or less non-revenue water. We may aspire reduction in NRW year on year and below a certain national or international average.
•	Village institutions need to be strengthened to manage the water supply, water treatment, quality analysis.
•	Very high level thoughts are required. But should be achievable for developing country like India to achieve for its village in the water supply sector.

With this, please think very deep, critically, forecast, aspire how the country would be, how the village status will be. Where we can think to reach in next 20 years after 2028, may be 2047 (the 100th year of Independence) and carry out a SWOT analysis.
