Abstract

This study delves into the critical issues of water scarcity and sustainable water management in rural India, with a focus on the village of Rajasooriyamadai. Through a combination of participatory rural appraisal and human-centered design tools, the research team identified key challenges such as poor water quality, irregular supply, and inadequate infrastructure. The proposed solution involves a community-driven water supply system that utilizes reverse osmosis (RO) filtration to provide clean, safe drinking water. The system is designed to be cost-effective and sustainable, with a governance structure that involves the community in its management. The study also highlights the importance of education and training in promoting water conservation and improving health outcomes. By integrating technical and social interventions, this study offers a comprehensive approach to enhancing community resilience and achieving sustainable development goals.
