The challenges of urbanization pose immense infrastructure pressures.

Our study aimed to explore the adoption and implementation of RWH and results revealed need for further strengthening in the implementation processes. Survey of 200 households indicates that 94 per cent of the households adopted RWH out of compulsion. 81 did not follow proper technical procedures. Awareness levels regarding cost aspects were poor leading to exploited by plumbers and there was need for more people-friendly support services.
