Abstract: Access to clean water is very essential for human health and sustenance of life. Water is primary requirement which is crucial for drinking as well other household activities. Government has been trying to develop water infrastructure over the years. In urban areas, water supply mechanism has gained significant progress but rural areas still lack the basic infrastructure of water supply. Haryana has been one of the states which provided piped water supply to all its villages in 1992. Recently, Government of India launched Jal Jeevan Mission (JJM) in 2019 for providing functional tap connections in each household of India. In October, 2021, Haryana claimed to achieve the milestone of providing clean water through tap connections in each rural household of the state. In this study, an attempt has been made to analyse the scenario of tap water supply in rural areas of Rohtak district of Haryana. With the help of field survey, different aspects of tap water supply have been studied to present the whole picture.
