Water supply management is a continuum of activities including planning, developing, distributing, and harvesting water. In urban areas, sustainable water management requires an amalgamated approach to ensure that the development and consumption of water resources, infrastructure for water deployment and both wastewater and water treatment facilities satisfy the economic, social, environmental and multi-sectoral demands of the area. The availability of water is very important for survival and is the constitutional right of the citizens of India. For a country like India, with a population of over 1.3 Billion, extensive expertise and research is essential to deal with the complex nature of urban water management and treatment to fulfil the needs of every single individual. The mitigation approach requires involvement of innovation and implementation of contemporary methods and technology that focusses not only towards the enhancement of the urban environment but also increase the liveability condition. The study deals with understanding the quantity and quality of water supplied at the consumer end of one of Shahpur wards in the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) and thereafter looking towards reforms if any discretion is found.
