Title: 1-Urban Water Management - Demand and Supply - Water Conservation Through Rain Water Harvesting. Authors: Sethuraman, R. Abstract: Due to rapid urbanisation and industrialisation, many of the metropolitan and bigger cities in the country are experiencing acute water shortage, especially during summer months, and depletion of available fresh water resources resulting in problems like declining water levels, failures of tube wells, deterioration in ground water quality, saline water intrusion etc. To overcome such problems, it is essential to conserve every drop of rainwater that falls in such cities, and examine the potential of storing rainwater into the underlying sub-surface porous formations to meet the ever increasing needs of the cities and towns.

Title: 2-Strategies for Improvement of Urban Solid Waste Management in India. Authors: Bhide, A. D. Abstract: This paper discusses the various strategies involved in the management of urban solid waste in India. Following factors have been highlighted (0 work norms for workers (ii) proper maintenance of vehicles and optimisation of transportation routes (iii) design and standardisation of incinerators for hospital and industrial waster (iv) sanitary landfillings (v) community development and training programs. It is also stressed that the present available bye laws are very old and in-adequate and need to be replaced by more comprehensive enactment.

Title: 3-Management of Urban Water Supply and Sanitation Challenges and Strategies. Authors: Shukla, S. R. Abstract: Due to rapid urbanization and industrialization, urban population of the country is increasing year after year posing a challenge to the planners, engineers and administrators to cope up with the problem of providing the basic amenities. There is an urgent need to initiate action for effective perspective planning for the next 25-30 years keeping in view the targets to be achieved in respect of water supply, sanitation, solid waste management and drainage facilities. To achieve these targets, suitable strategy and policy framework has to be evolved giving due consideration to important aspects such as development of water resources, mobilization offinancial resources, adoption of appropriate technology, effective operation and maintenance, water conservation, reuse and recycling of effluents, institutional strengthening, capacity building and private sector participation.
