Guidelines on accessible and inclusive piped water supply for persons with disabilities and for other population groups with access challenges

The Ministry of Jal Shakti on August 08, 2023, notified Guidelines on accessible and inclusive piped water supply for persons with disabilities and for other population groups with access challenges. The objective of this document is to provide information for designing an accessible and inclusive piped water supply for persons with disabilities and for other population groups with access challenges, including people with temporary access challenges such as pregnant women or mothers with young children or individuals who are suffering from short term physical ailments, since they too face similar barriers while accessing drinking water facilities.
