## ANSWER MINISTER OF STATE FOR DRINKING WATER AND SANITATION (SHRI RAM KRIPAL YADAV)

- (a) The State/UT-wise details of target set and achievements made in respect of Piped Water Supply (PWS) during each of the last three years and the current year are at Annexure-I.

(b)  Under  National  Rural  Drinking  Water  Programme  (NRDWP),  the  Government provides  financial  and  technical  assistance  to  States  to  supplement  their  efforts  to provide  adequate  safe  drinking  water  to  the  rural  population.  The  States  have  been delegated  the  powers  to  select,  approve  and  implement  the  drinking  water  supply projects.  This  Ministry  does  not  monitors/maintains  the  data  regarding  number  of delayed/ incomplete works under the drinking water and sanitation schemes/ projects in  the  country. Generally,  drinking  water  projects  like  Hand  Pump/  Bore  well  are completed  within  a  year  and  mega  multi  village  piped  water  schemes  take  time between  3  to  5  years.  States  are  advised  to  complete  these  projects  in  time  during review meetings/ annual action plan meetings/ video conferences by the Ministry.

(c) Yes Madam, as per information provided by State of Andhra Pradesh on the online monitoring portal of the Ministry, a total number of 2763 habitations were targeted for Piped Water Supply (PWS) for coverage of Water Supply during 2014-15.

(d) & (e) No Madam, as per information provided by State of Andhra Pradesh on the online monitoring portal of the Ministry, out of the target of 2763, 2390 habitations were  covered  for  piped  water  supply.  But  some  districts  have  not  achieved  their targets fixed. The details of the covered habitations and left over habitations district wise are at Annexure-II . Rural Water Supply is a State Subject. However, under the National  Rural  Drinking  Water  Programme  (NRDWP),  the  Ministry  of  Drinking Water  and  Sanitation provides financial and technical assistance to States to supplement their efforts to provide adequate safe drinking water through schemes like piped water supply schemes and hand pumps to the rural population. The reasons for all  the  habitations  not  getting  drinking  water  as  per  their  minimum  requirement include  slipping  back  of  fully  covered  habitations  to  partially  covered  status  due  to drying up of drinking water sources; lowering of ground water table; non-availability of  sustainable  drinking  water  sources  close  to  habitations;  drinking  water  sources becoming  contaminated  due  to  natural  &  man-made  causes;  water  supply  systems outliving  their  life;  systems  working  below  rated  capacities;  poor  operation  and management of  systems;  increase  in  population;  emergence  of  new  habitations  and procurement issues delaying drinking water supply schemes.
