The central government is likely to fix a threshold limit of 55 litre/day per person as assured household water supply under the PM Modi's ambitious water guarantee plan. Hindustan Times has reported. The govt will also set up a dedicated fund for its mission to provide piped water to every rural Indian household by 2024. The water fund will likely be modelled on the lines of a similar one for Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, the national sanitation scheme, called the Swachh Bharat Kosh. Officials are giving finishing touches to the modalities of “Nal Se Jal” (water from taps), which entails providing potable water to households.
