The Government in its endeavour to provide drinking water to all habitations in the State has formulated an action plan. Efforts to arrange financial assistance from Government of India under ARWSP PMGY programmes are being made to achieve the target to ensure supply of 40 lpcd to all PC habitations by March 2007. All NC habitations have been covered already. During 1991-93, the Rajiv Gandhi National Drinking Water Mission, Govt. of India conducted a status survey of Rural Water Supply in the State and the focus shifted from providing water facility just to census villages but further to habitations. In order to achieve the objective of sustainable human development at the village level, the Govt. of India started the Prime Ministers Gramodaya Yojna (PMGY) from the year 2000-01.

There are 7989 Water Supply Schemes in the State. Of these 1496 are lift, 91 tubewells and 6402 are gravity schemes. As per the survey conducted in 1991-93, total 45,367 habitations were identified in the State. The habitations were further bifurcated to three main categories i.e. Not Covered (NC) Partially Covered (PC) and Fully Covered (FC) as per RGNDWMs guidelines. The Govt. of India under ARWSP has accorded top priority to provide water supply to NCPC (0-10 LPCD) habitations and while preparing its shelf of projects, the Govt. of H.P. accords similar priorities.
