Web: www.manthan-india.org In last several decades, resource use and developmental activities have given rise to February 2013 fierce debates and intense struggles raising is- sues of social justice, equity, environmental sustainability, human rights. Serious concerns have been raised about the efficacy in deliver- ing benefits of the existing developmental paradigm. In recent years, enormous transfor- mations in the global and national economic and financial structures have made these con- cerns even more relevant. It is necessary, for those working in the public interest and public policy arena to fully understand these transformations, along with the concerns of equity, human rights, environ- ment and so on.

The average altitude of the town is 468 meters above MSL. The town had a population of 1,46,859 as per census 2001. It is estimated that in 2010 the population would grow to 1,80,000. The main business in the district is agriculture. The town is surrounded by dense forests, which is a recognised National Park of India known as Madhav National Park. The town has been summer resort of Sindhiya State, with historic buildings/ places and has become a tourist destination. A tourist village has been established for this purpose. The town is located on Gwalior - Indore broad gauge railway line and is well connected to all major cities of India. It is also an important town on NH 3, Agra Mumbai road and is well connected by road to Mumbai, Delhi, Gwalior, Guna and other major towns.1 Rivers and Drainage There are four main rivers namely Parwati, Sindh, Kuno and Betwa, which pass through the district. Parwati is a tributary of Sindh River and joins it near Pawaya in Gwalior district. It is perennial but not navigable. Sindh enters from Guna district and flowing north for a while, than towards east forming the boundary between Gwalior and Datia districts and finally flows through Bhind to join the Chambal river. Kuno is a tributary of the Chambal. It flows north from Shivpuri district to Morena and joins the Chambal. Betwa rises in Raisen district and flows through Raisen, Vidisha, Guna, Shivpuri and Jhansi districts.2 Existing Water Supply in the Town The total capacity of supply developed for town is 9 mld. Out of this supply of 5 mld capacity scheme based on surface source - Madhav Sagar Lake, balance 4 mld is supposed to be supplied by tubewells through electric pumps and hand pumps. The quantity of water supplied through tubewells is only estimation and many tubewells go dry in summer months or their yield is highly reduced, resulting in very less supply. 1.

The total 5 mld water from these filter plants is being used to supply approxi- mately 50% population of the town, once in 3 days. There are 219 tubewells operating in the town, these are used to supply 4 mld water to the remaining 50% population on alternative days. In April 2007, around 100 tubewells out of 219 went dry. Water supply from tubewells dropped to around 2 mld." It further says that - "Power cuts also lead to decrease in water supply from the filter plants. The 2.8 mld filter plant suffers from leakage and therefore the water supply does not reach the overhead tanks in full capacity. In place of this filter plant we expect to complete a new filter plant".3 Existing Water Resources Madhav Sagar Lake The main source of water supply to the town at present is Madhav Sagar lake situated at a distance of 8 km from the town. The lake is fed by Chandpatha tank which is located on the eastern side of the town. The natural drainage of the town is towards this tank and all the waste water of the town flows into this lake. Originally, Chandpatha tank itself was the main source of supply. However, the intake well, was
