Abstract:
Studies in urban water supply system are few in the state of Kerala.
It is a little researched area. In the case of water pricing a number of studies are
available. In Kerala state, exception to Jacob John’s study on “Economics of
Public Water Supply System”, which is a case study of Trivandrum Water Supply
System in 1997, no exhaustive research work has so far come out in this field.
loreover no indepth research study has come up, so far, relating to household
ater demand analysis and the distribution system of urban piped water supply.
he proposed study is first of its kind, which focuses on the distributional and
Iailability problems of piped water supply in an urban centre in Kerala state.
Hence there is a felt need for enquiring into the sufficiency of
)table water supplied to people in urban areas and the efficiency maintained in
roviding the scarce resource and preventing its misuse by the consumers. It is in
llS backdrop that this study was undertaken and its empirical part was conducted
