Abstract
| |
| This background paper reviews current trends among the urban population in India, estimated to have evolved from 210 million in 1992, to 290 million in 2002. The share of the urban population represented slightly less than 25 percent of the total of population of 850 million in 1992, to slightly more than a 28 percent of the total population of 1, 030 million in 2002. It examines the high concentration of the urban population, including the slum population, to then focus on the urban water supply and sanitation (WSS), within the sector institutional structure, summarizing the Government's sector policy, and urban water supply and sanitation programs. On summarizing the evolution of access to "safe" water supply in urban areas, it is outlined however, that coverage is unevenly distributed between states, and/or classes of cities. In addition, despite a nearly 74 percent increase in access to piped water in 2001, poor states such as Assam, Bihar, Orissa and others, seem to have experienced a decline in access to piped during the same decade. And, access to water services is universally low for those living in slums or squatter settlements. The gap between access to "WSS infrastructure" and access to "WSS service" is analyzed, based on four main criteria: reliability, financial sustainability, environmental sustainability, and, affordability. |
