The project would be implementedin about ten districts in the state of Maharashtra. It would raise the standard of living in rural areas through improved health and productivity,by expanding access to potable rural water supply systems and environmentalsanitation facilities. The rural water supply componentwould include about 75 large, regional piped water supply schemes, 170 individualvillage piped water supply schemes, and the installationof about 3,000 India Mark III hand pumps. In a country where the incidenceof water-related diseases is high and public sanitation standardspoor, the project would promote enhanced approaches to environmentalsanitation and health communicationsthrough the developmentof new strategies and the implementationof those strategiesthrough innovative programs. The environmentalsanitation component would promote the disposal of waste water in villages with piped water supply through improved drainage and the construction of low cost latrines. The health communicationscomponent would create greater community awareness and demand for improved hygiene and environmentalsanitation and would give field staff in the Department of Public Health a greater role in promoting a cleaner environment. NGOs would play a key role in the planning and implementationof the environmentalsanitation and health communications components. The project would also strengthenthe water quality monitoring system in rural areas throughout the state. The main risks would bet 1) the environmentalsanitation and health communicationscomponents would be given low priority during implementationt2) inexperiencein working with NGOs; and 3) the sustainabilityof investments in rural water supply due to inadequateinstitutional and funding arrangementsfor operation and maintenance (O&E). These risks would be minimized through an agreement on the final strategieson environmentalsanitation and health education, the involvementof NGOs, and
