Helping India Achieve 24x7 Water Supply Service by 2010

Abstract

This Technical Note summarizes observations and outputs from the Roundtable Discussion on Private Sector Participation (PSP) in Water Supply in India held in Bangalore on 15-16 June 2005 and the follow-up conference on 25 August 2005 in Delhi. It is designed to disseminate to a wider audience the broader principles of PSP options that could be considered for India and other DMCs in order to promote accelerated progress towards achievement of the water sector MDGs by 2015. This document is not a detailed technical or financial synopsis of what should be done but simply seeks to provide an indication of options and an outline roadmap towards achieving greater effectiveness and improved progress in the timely delivery of MDG targets.
