This comprehensive book delves into a multifaceted approach to achieving sustainable rural domestic water supply in India. It delves deeper into the intricate behavior of groundwater, the primary source of water supply, in response to various geological conditions. It conducts a thorough analysis of the factors influencing the success of water supply schemes, identifies the prerequisites for sustainable groundwater-based drinking water sources, proposes strategies to enhance the sustainability of drinking water wells in challenging hard rock regions, which encompass approximately two-thirds of India's geographical area, presents a decision-making framework for planning rural water supply schemes with a focus on long-term sustainability, and suggests tangible physical strategies and policy measures to attain these goals.

To facilitate this comprehensive exploration, the book conducts detailed analyses for the development and validation of diverse models that elucidate the behavior and performance of rural water supply schemes across different geological settings in Maharashtra. As Maharashtra serves as a microcosm of the diverse hydrological, topographical, geohydrological, and climatic conditions encountered throughout the country, this state is chosen for its pivotal role in understanding the complexities of groundwater systems.

The final analysis, aimed at proposing nation-wide strategies, takes into account the diverse hydrological, geological, geohydrological, topographical, and climatic factors as well as the prevalence of groundwater contamination and pollution in India. By amalgamating these diverse perspectives, the book provides a holistic framework for achieving sustainable rural domestic water supply in India, contributing to the well-being and development of communities across the nation.
