Safe drinking water is a necessity for all homes. With an aim to improve the regular supply of safe drinking water in the rural parts of the country, the Government of India has launched the Jal Jeevan Mission (JJM) in the year 2019. It came into reinforce to to provide Functional Household Tap Connections (FHTCs) to the rural populace.
Access to water via taps is not just about installing pipes. The process of providing water to each household involves collection, purification, storage, and distribution of water. This is where water storage tanks provided by Bhupati Steels Pvt. Ltd. become significant in aiding the Jal Jeevan Mission, which helps the rural water supply system cope with water demands.
Why Are Water Storage Tanks Important for Jal Jeevan Mission?
In the framework of Jal Jeevan Mission, water supply projects for villages can involve sources of water, water treatment facilities, pumps, storage tanks, and pipelines for water distribution. All these elements perform their own function in the provision of water to the houses.
A water storage tank is the main element of a water supply system that stores water before its distribution. It bridges the gap between water generation and water requirement.
4 Ways Bhupati Steels’ Water Storage Tanks Support Jal Jeevan Mission:
1. Ensure a More Reliable Water Supply:
The water pumping and the treatment process may take place at specific times, but water is needed around the clock in houses. The right size of the tank will ensure that the surplus water is stored and is available during periods of high demand.
2. Support Efficient Water Distribution:
Its goal is to provide a functional tap connection to the houses in rural areas. For this purpose, water should flow in different sections of the village through the distribution network. The storage tanks and service reservoirs ensure proper management of water before it flows in the pipeline network.
3. Provide a Buffer During Supply Interruptions:
A breakdown in electricity, pump maintenance or repairs, or shortages in the water itself at the source are possible issues that could hinder the smooth supply process. Water storage tanks become important for such occasions.
4. Help Maintain Drinking Water Quality:
Safe drinking water supply is one of the main objectives of Jal Jeevan Mission. Hence, it is also essential to ensure water quality in the tanks where water is stored.
The tanks we use for storing water are made of proper material used for drinking water, with a cover, cleanliness inside the tank, and proper design of the tank.
How to Choose the Right Water Storage Tank?
Choosing the correct tank is an important process, which involves the following critical issues:
- Capacity: Tank capacity must be proper depending on the large number for covering each part of the rural area.
- Material: The material selected for the tank construction must be appropriate depending on the drinkable and safe use of water from that tank.
- Durable: Consideration must be given to the climatic conditions and the durability of the tank.
- Suitability with the project: The tank must fit the requirements of the water supply project.
