Mapping Climate-Induced Risk for Water Supply, Sanitation and Hygiene in Rajasthan
This chapter discusses the water supply and sanitation situation in Rajasthan, particularly the spatial variation in the characteristics of the water supply systems. It describes the natural, physical, socio-economic and institutional environment which influences the access to drinking water sources and use of water, and access to and use of improved sanitation facilities in Rajasthan. It also reviews the existing policies and norms pertaining to rural water supply in the state to know as to what extent they address the public health concerns associated with climate variability in the state. It then maps the climate-induced WASH risk in all the districts of Rajasthan using a modified analytical framework for assessing climate risk, and validates it using data on public health status, with respect to incidence of water-borne diseases across the state. The WASH risk index was estimated to be varying from a lowest of 0.20 for Jaisalmer District to 0.40 for Sirohi District. The key factors contributing to high climate risk in certain districts and very low risks in certain other districts are identified.
