A safe, dependable, and reachable water supply is crucial for good health. Still, more than a billion people do not have access to a good quality water supply in developing countries. Rapid urbanization is creating the need for efficient water use as it is one of the critical environmental issues. This study assesses the water supply infrastructure for the city of Amritsar, India, by upgrading and improving the existing system with a sustainable approach. The city is dependent on groundwater as the only source for meeting its daily needs for water supply. The major issue observed in the city was the over-exploitation of groundwater due to large-scale development, through rapid deployment of tube wells that have resulted in speedily declining groundwater levels. Groundwater may not be sufficient in the coming years to serve the increasing water demand of the city. Thus, the city demands intervention in water infrastructure. The study data was collected through the primary survey (household survey, and current demand) and secondary survey (supply assessment, reports, and literature) at ward and city levels. The existing status of the water infrastructure was computed, issues were identified, and the gaps were analyzed by comparing them with the service level benchmarking. Various context-specific sustainable techniques to replenish the groundwater and smart water system are recommended toward the end. A similar study can be conducted in different cities to develop water infrastructure for better living conditions for people.
