I am concerned about
providing primary
requisites for our people.Free education, free
medical aid, and free
basic amenities like
drinking water. Educationis for the head; medical
care is for the heart; and
pure water is for the
body. These three cover
the main requirements of
life.- said Bhagavan

History.
People living in the affected villages suffered from having
no supply of water in their communities, and were
required to walk barefooted in the hot sun for miles
everyday to secure a bare minimum of water for their
needs.
The inadequacy of the water supply in the area was due
not to the inadequacy of water as such, but rather to the
failure of the National and State governments to agree
on the use of water from rivers that could have suppliedthe much-needed water to the Rayalaseema area.

On November 23, 1994, Bhagawan announcedthe inauguration of a Water Supply Project to be
undertaken under the auspices of the Sathya Sai
Central Trust, for the purpose of bringing
desperately needed water to the drought-strickenarea of Rayalaseema, in South India.

Swamis statement.
"I wish to draw the attention of the Prime Minister to the 45-year-old water problem
that is affecting most parts of Rayalaseema, especially in remote villages, where
people have to walk several miles to get a pot of drinking water. This needs
immediate redressal. Rivers are the gift of God. In rivers like the Krishna, the
Godavari, a lot of water is allowed to flow into the sea. There is no point in every State
claiming right over the river waters and quarreling with each other over riparian rights.
The waters of the Krishna and the Tungabhadra rivers can be harnessed to supply
the much-needed water to Rayalaseema. If there is constraint of finance, I am
prepared to meetthe cost even if it is 100 or 200 crores for fulfilling this dire need of
the Rayalaseema people. The devotees are prepared to make any sacrifice but I have
not stretched my hands to anyone." (Sanath ana Sarathi , 12/94, p. 323.)2/23/20146 Andhra Pradesh Water Project

The Water Project was to have been undertaken bythe National Government in cooperation with two
area State Governments, but after two years,
nothing happened. It was only after the Government
failed to initiate the project to relieve the suffering ofthe affected villagers, that Bhagawan undertook this
enormous Project himself. In a commentary on the
disputed use of rivers in India, Bhagawan urged that
all rivers should be placed under the governanceofthe Indian National Government to eliminate such
disputes and to ensure adequatewater supplies for
all.

In this District also there is a high concentration offluorides in the ground water due to frequent failure
of monsoons and severe drought conditions. Further,
the ground water table is depleting very fast and
fluoride level in the ground water is increasing.

This new project, with an estimated budget of nearlyRs.80 crores will bring water from the Chitravati
Balancing Reservoir at Peddakotla to quench the
thirst of 118 villages (benefitting about Two Hundred
Thousand people) in the three Mandals of
Puttaparthi, Kothacheruvu and Bukkapatnam. These
are the villages that were not covered under the Sri
Sathya Sai Water Supply Project of 1995 due to
some technical reasons.

The beginning..
While speaking to the staff of the Super SpecialtyHospital in Prashanthi Nilayam on Dec 26th, 2004,
Swami said,
"Currently we are executing a water project for East
and West Godavari Districts. It is possible to livewithout food but not without water. Water is highly
essential. These people live by the side of Godavari
but they have no potable water. Though water is
available nearby, they are not in a position to haveaccess. For everything, human effort is very
essential. To attempt and act is human nature;
success or failure is in God's control."

Scheme
2/23/201427
In principle, the scheme is simple - one firstconstructs an intake well near the water source, in
this case the Godavari River. Water is drawn from
the source by pumps, and then sent to a reservoir.
There it is treated and purified, after which the water,
now fit to drink, is distributed through pipes to the
designated villages. In the villages, there are local
storage tanks, from which water flows to cisterns, to
which water taps are connected.

Scheme
Similar to the scheme adopted earlier in
Mahabubnagar District, Andhra Pradesh.
The most important or unique challenge of this
project is that the target villages are located in aforest region, especially in East Godavari

I am taking up these projects and completing them of
My own accord, without anybody's asking. Water is
very essential for the survival of everyone. It is the
sustainer of life. What else can be of greater service
than providing drinking water to the needy? It is the
source and sustenance of life. I do not expect any
rituals or worship from you. I am doing it out of My love
for you.

About the beneficiaries of the project
2/23/201434
The lives of the tribals in Interior East Godavari District
are fully intertwined with forest and seasons. They live
on forest produce.They cut the trees on the mountain
slopes and cultivate pulses and some cereals which is
generally called Kondapudu Cultivation. In the recent
times, the Government has imposed certain
restrictions on felling of trees and ordered that fruit
yielding trees must be grown on the mountain areas
cleared by tribals. They also make thin threads out of
the trunk of a tree called Thati Picchu. These threads
have many salient properties and are an export-
oriented item used for making baskets and other
handicrafts. Their living conditions are still primitive.Andhra Pradesh Water Project

About five hundred
villages in the two

expected to bebenefited and about
half a million people
would receive waterto drink every single

A perspective
Swami has provided drinking water to about
ten millionpeople!
To give you an idea of what this means, please note
that the population of New Zealand is about 3.8million, the population of Belgium is about 10.3 million,
the population of Hungary is about 9.8 million, and the
population of Sweden is about 8.9 million.
