Due to poor infrastructure, lack of a monitoring system and unplanned settlements; residents receive inefficient and poor-quality water. There is a high dependence on groundwater and water from private suppliers in the city as a secondary source of water. Analysis through primary and secondary data summarize, "Rajkot is not under water scarcity but underwater stress."   The quality of water is directly associated with the quality of living.
