Operational Maintenance
• Identifying maintenance mechanisms, e.g.
contribution from harvests; community
pisciculture; monthly payments
• Moving from flat rate fee (Rs1-2 per HH pa) towater metering (where possible)
• Using only renewable water sources (bore hole or
sanitary open dug wells)….. You have as muchright to water as you can recharge to the earth.
