  • 32Nd Proceedings Book 1.Indb
    ReviewedSLEAP Paper 32nd WEDC International Conference, Colombo, Sri Lanka, 2006 SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT OF WATER RESOURCES, WATER SUPPLY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SANITATION Access for all: securing older people’s access to water and sanitation Bridget Sleap, United Kingdom Poor older women and men1 in the developing world are often ‘unserved’ in terms of water and sanitation despite the universality of the right to water (Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, 2002). This paper explores the main barriers to accessing safe water and sanitation that poor older people face such as the prohibitive cost of water, dif- ficulty in access and use of service points, and the lack of disaggregated data (by age and sex) on who has access to safe water and sanitation. The paper then presents three examples of practical interventions by HelpAge International and its partners to address these issues and concludes with recommendations for both policy makers and practitioners on how to improve and secure access to water and sanitation for poor older people. able older people to cover expenses for their basic needs, Introduction reduce the stress and anxiety created by water insecurity Water insecurity is a major source of stress and expense and restore their dignity by reducing their reliance on family for poor older people who, due to a combination of factors members.

  • Its Conservation, Management and Governance
    Government of India Pune Central Water Commission May 2017 National Water Academy Water – Its Conservation, Management and Governance Developed by: Dr S K Srivastava, Chief Engineer D S Chaskar, Director Sidhartha Mitra, Director Government of India Central Water Commission National Water Academy Preface The natural resources scenario of the country is changing fast both in terms of availability as well as quality. The situation is further aggravated by the looming climate change which is going to alter the paradigm of management of natural resources. Water is critical natural resources and is being affected by increasing population, industrialization, urbanization, pollution, deforestation and above all climate change. We have to fight Water Scarcity by striking a balance between Water Usage and Water Replenishment through sensitizing all the stakeholders. Water is everybody’s business and indeed everybody is professing ways, means and solutions for addressing the issues. There is plethora of ideas, paradigms and philosophies put forth by experts, activities, civil society, media etc. from their own perspective for management of water. This has resulted in incoherent and divergent opinions regarding the current state of sector as well as the required future action to tackle the challenges. In order to have a focused and uniform approach to tackle the challenges in the coming decades, it is very much important that all stakeholders are sensitized about the current scenario, future needs and need for proper scientific and rational approach to mitigate the issues and challenges collectively. The National Water Academy (NWA) conducts training programs covering the whole spectrum of topics pertaining to water resources development and management through its various programs, however, the training material prepared is largely technical in nature.

A few weeks into my stay in Jodhpur, GRAVIS was shocked by the loss of L. C. Tyagi ji, its beloved founder and Director. It was at that time that I truly came to know what GRAVIS meant. This is not just an organization; it is a community whose members have sustained each other through hardship. The people that work here don't just work here; they belong here. They care about one another and they care for one another. They have dedicated their lives to this work. And that passion is what has made GRAVIS successful. This project a comprehensive history of GRAVIS' activities in the Thar Desert since its inception, was long a wish of Tyagi ji. It was an honor for me to complete it.
