implementation we should understand that this will need much higher O&M cost but this is the only way to provide safe drinking water to the citizens..They were adding upto 70-90 mg/l of chlorine whereas safe limit should be 5-6 mg/l in drinking water. They were doing this because conventional technologies can not handle currently available contaminated water from Yamuna which is case in many UP towns. One should understand effect on citizens' health when drinking water has
been
treated
with
such
a
high
level
of
chlorine
dosing.
Malanpur in Maharashtra is another example of how citizens participation can result in 24X7 water supply to this city's 25,000 citizens. I do not think such interventions are across any state until now. There are far & few spread all over among
pockets
of
excellence
and
commitments
of
few
individual.
