Title
Gravity Flow: Ensuring Sustainability of Rural Water Supply and Livelihood
Abstract
Water supply through gravity flow mechanism to
rural homes, especially in tribal areas, can be
regarded as a key component of rural
development. It may be considered as nature’s
mechanism, given by nature for the benefit of
rural people, where availability of energy from
electricity or other sources is a problem. A
simple and sustainable concept, it has
successfully provided a continuous water supply
to rural villages. In gravity flow, water is
harnessed by estimating the flow of its pressure
from the water source and storing it in a water
tank from where it is supplied to all households.
Gram Vikas, a rural development organization in
Orissa, uses this eco- friendly technology to help
the people of tribal and rural areas to generate
livelihood resources and lead a life of dignity and
quality.
