To begin with we are proposing to take up water conservation initiatives in urban areas through entrepreneurial route that is business like operations under suitable policy and legislative framework by the local authorities for: • Rain Water Harvesting • Waste Water Recycling Water is the most precious gift of nature. Proper planning, development, management and optimal utilization of this vital natural resource are prerequisites for socio-economic development of the society.
Increased demographic pressure in urban areas and socio-economic advancements has increased the demand of water for drinking, commercial, agriculture and industrial purposes. Therefore, every drop of water has to be utilized wisely.
Water Supply & Sanitation - Engineers Without Borders Australia. Project Statement Access to clean drinking water is an important issue that needs to be addressed throughout the Mekong Delta region. Drinking water is currently collected from three sources: rainwater, bore wells and surface water. Rainwater is collected in open cement / ceramic jars during the wet season and will typically provide a family water for approximately six months of the year. Impurity build up in the jars is a problem. 85% of rural households have access to borehole wells with a hand pump. Well water often contains heavy metals including arsenic and is often highly saline. Although the region does not experience severe flooding on the scale of a tsunami, it does experience daily tidal variations of about 7cm.

The Community Water Initiative was developed in response to the World Summit on Sustainable Development call for concrete actions to meet global challenges in the field of water and sanitation.
Inspired by the success of other UNDP programmes, such as UNDP/GEF Small Grants Programme, the Local Facility for Urban Environment, and Africa 2000, the Community Water Initiative has functioned as a decentralized, demand driven funding mechanism for sustainable community-based water and sanitation development and management. The Initiative operates closely with the existing UNDP small grant mechanisms and includes their proven effective features. In the 2003/2004 pilot year, programmes were started in six countries to support activities in four major areas: Local watershed managementWater supply for communities and households activitiesHousehold sanitationInnovative financing and management structures The Community Water Initiative has supported: Highlights of the Pilot Phase include: Flywheel Energy Storage Device (page 41)
