Abstract

In Koraput there is no doubt that the availability/accessibility of drinking water to the households has increased over the past couple of decades, partly due to concerted efforts by the state government, Central government and some extend rise in income of the people of this region. Public provisioning of drinking water is primarily done through tap, Tube well whereas privately tube well and open well majority of the community. In this district majority of rural area covered by tube well than other sources because it is more reliable and easy to install even within the village by mechaniary or hand pump where is no road communication. In urban area most of the supply water comes from the surface water body but in rural depends upon only on groundwater. Therefore ground water has created problems of deteriorating water quality apart from those added by seepage of chemicals and bad sanitation near the tube well create a question mark on quality of drinking water. As a result, the groundwater needs to be tested water quality with some important parameter and treated accordingly before provide to the community. In these areas, about 02 percent of households reported to have filtered their drinking water but very few of them have boiled it before drinking in rainy season in general and health problem in particularly.
