Access to Basic Services l l Basic services such as potable safe drinking water, proper sanitation, electricity, primary education and health essential for improving the quality of life Despite heavy investments, a large population in the country continues to remain deprived of essential services. Slums rarely connected to city infrastructure Rapid urbanisation is straining existing infrastructure Water for Asian Cities Programme

Costs of not investing in infrastructure for Basic services l 15 lakh children lose their lives to diarrhoea every year in India l 3 crore 77 lakh people are affected by waterborne diseases every year leading to a loss of 7 crore 30 lakh working days each year l Safe water and sanitation can go a long way in minimizing risk by reducing the incidence of diarrhoea and other water borne diseases Water for Asian Cities Programme
