WaterAid India is delighted to present “बूंदों में भविष्य” (A Film on Water Security Planning)—a practical and easy-to-use reference tool designed to support villages and Gram Panchayats in understanding and implementing a comprehensive Rural Drinking Water Security Plan. As a knowledge leader in the WASH sector, we believe that true water security requires community ownership and strategic planning. Using a highly engaging blend of animation and storytelling, this film clearly explains the end-to-end process of water security planning in a concise manner. 🗣️ Narrated in Hindi and supported by English subtitles to ensure wider regional reach and accessibility. This resource is developed specifically to empower and support: • Gram Panchayats & Village-level committees (VWSCs) • Community members (women, youth, farmers) • Field staff and community mobilizers • Block and district officials • Development organizations and NGOs [Key Components Covered in this Guide:] 💧 What is Rural Drinking Water Security? 🗺️ Survey and mapping of drinking water sources 📊 Water demand assessment (current and 15-year projection) 📝 Village drinking water budgeting 🧪 Drinking water quality testing (pre- and post-monsoon) 🌱 Source sustainability measures 🤝 Community engagement and Gram Sabha approval ⚙️ Operation & Maintenance (O&M) planning 🔍 Monitoring and review mechanisms Water security is everyone’s responsibility.
