    This document summarizes Kerala's Mazhapolima program for cost-effective and sustainable drinking water service delivery through open well recharging. The summary is: The program was launched to address Kerala's water scarcity issues like dependence on unsustainable wells and rising costs of water tankers. It employs a community-driven, participatory approach to map water resources, implement recharge techniques like rooftop harvesting, and build local capacity. Key outcomes included improved health outcomes, reversal of investment needs, statewide scaling, and leveraging of over 15 times the government funds through partnerships. The program provides lessons for integrated water management approaches.

    Cost Effective & Sustainable Drinking Water Service Delivery: Lessons From Kerala

    Dr. V. Kurien Baby


    Sr. Programme Officer, IRC International Water & Sanitation Centre , The Hague, Netherlands

    Background
    2008 April drought period joined as DC Tanker lorry supply increasing as strategy at huge costs By 2021 Demand supply gap 5900 mcm IWMI Kerala Economic scarcity GoI study on drinking water status and strategy key findings shift in investment trajectory Well based approach 50% non perennial /quality cost effectiveness

    Background - Kerala
    Water, water, every where, Nor a drop to drink Samuel Taylor Coleridge

    Kerala has 3000 mm rainfall p.a and 44 rivers Water Scarcity a recurring phenomena every summer Source un-sustainability and quality issues Highest density of open dug wells in world 70% of the people still depend of wells for drinking
