The project would be implemented in about ten districts in the state of Maharashtra. It would raise the standard of living in rural areas through improved health and productivity, by expanding access to potable rural water supply systems and environmental sanitation facilities. The rural water supply component would include about 75 large, regional piped water supply schemes, 170 individual village piped water supply schemes, and the installation of about 3,000 India Mark III hand pumps. In a country where the incidence of water-related diseases is high and public sanitation standards poor, the project would promote enhanced approaches to environmental sanitation and health communications through the development of new strategies and the implementation of those strategies through innovative programs. The environmental sanitation component would promote the disposal of waste water in villages with piped water supply through improved drainage and the construction of low cost latrines. The health communications component would create greater community awareness and demand for improved hygiene and environmental sanitation and would give field staff in the Department of Public Health a greater role in promoting a cleaner environment. NGOs would play a key role in the planning and implementation of the environmental sanitation and health communications components. The project would also strengthen the water quality monitoring system in rural areas throughout the state. The main risks would bet 1) the environmental sanitation and health communications components would be given low priority during implementationt 2) inexperience in working  with NGOs; and 3) the sustainability of investments in rural water supply due to inadequate institutional and funding arrangements for operation and maintenance (O&E). These risks would be minimized through an agreement on the final strategies on environmental sanitation and health education, the involvement of NGOs, and the role of the project planning and monitoring unit; the establishment of a Government-NGO Task Force; and through training and improvements in administrative arrangements and revenue generation to reduce the risk of inadequate O&M.
