1. In many place the problem occurs.. like bhojpur, arwal n all.. i dnt rembr all d names ryt knw.. but i will post later with some data.. the supply of water is not a problem in bihar.. but the problem is drinking water. we ppl have to look on the natural tricks of water supply.. the groundwater is contaminated nw a days n no technology is here to treat aquifers. but surface water is safe so we have to recharge ground water and use surface raw water to drink wid sum treatment.

2. I think it will be nt success.. because we can't do nything widout change d mind set of ladies. because 90% of water usese by ladies .. The main question is that how then improve the water supply and sanitation ??? m frm bihar and there is a problem of heavy metals in ground water... people have to aware of this..
