Associates and determinants of drinking water supply: a case study along urbanrural continuum of semi-arid cities in India
Sustainable urbanization in semi-arid cities of third world countries like India demands an Integrated Urban Water Management System for sustainable water supply. Physical availability of water is rarely a determinant of good drinking water supply. To understand the associates and determinants of water supply, a micro-level has been done along the urban-rural continuum of two semi-arid cities, showing the dichotomies of urban-rural, rich-poor, high-low caste. Chi-square test and logistic regression have been applied to data of various indicators collected from the household surveys. Results show that social class, economic class, occupation, education and location of a household determine the drinking water scenario. Households with low or no payment for water, low education level, low income, laborers and residing in rural areas are more vulnerable to drinking water scarcity. Need is to cover all households with institutional water supply to eliminate these inequities and to protect irrational groundwater exploitation.
