  • Sustainable Water Management Practices: Addressing a Water Scarcity Crisis in Jaipur, Rajasthan, India
    1 Sustainable Water Management Practices: Addressing a Water Scarcity Crisis in Jaipur, Rajasthan, India View from Jaigarh Fort - Jaipur, Rajasthan. February 2019. Photo by Author Kira Baltutis University of Illinois at Chicago | Master’s in Urban Planning and Policy Email: [email protected] 2 Abstract Although urbanization often drives development and brings potential for prosperity, it also presents significant social, economic and environmental challenges that can exacerbate existing issues among populations experiencing growth. The expansion of urban and peri-urban communities, coupled with climate change, has led to the depletion (and often contamination) of existing water resources that pose grave challenges to the future of our planet’s inhabitants. This report focuses on the crucial role of water supply to residents in the rapidly growing city of Jaipur, situated in the arid state of Rajasthan, India, which has a population of 3.1 million per India’s 2011 census and an annual growth rate of 3%. Water scarcity has become an ongoing headline issue in Jaipur as household access to government-supplied piped water has been limited to approximately one hour a day between the hours of 6:00 and 7:00 a.m., giving residents just enough time to fill up any water storage containers for all daily needs. For people living in freshwater-rich regions with unlimited access to clean water, this can be a nearly unfathomable way of life. To explore the myriad implications of this phenomenon at the community level, I conducted a 10-day long immersive fieldwork in Jaipur between January and February 2019. Through community member interviews and observational research in six key locations throughout the city of Jaipur and Amer, an adjoining historic settlement, I use both personal experiences and verified data to examine the challenges Jaipur faces to provide a clean, affordable, and consistent water supply to its expanding population.
