Provision of arsenic free water is urgently needed for immediate protection of health and well being of the people living in arsenic affected areas. In most situations, substitution of tubewell water by an alternative safe and reliable source of water supply is not an easy task.

The textbook “Water Supply & Sanitation – Rural and Low Income Urban Communities” intended for graduate level created a great impression amongst the students and teachers of Engineering Universities and Institutes and also amongst the professionals working in the water supply and sanitation sector. The main reason of this acceptability is that unlike other published books on Environmental Engineering, this book deals not only with technical aspects but also with socio-economic and gender aspects related to water supply and sanitation.
