INTRODUCTION
Community service is considered the backbone of the modern education
system. Educational institutions play an important role in the development of
the India economy. Educational institution had played an important role in
bringing educational revolution, in removing in difference of wealth, and in
attaining balanced regional development.
Before the new educational policy, the condition of the education system was
very terrible. Students were merely spectators and get knowledge in a
mechanical manner. There was no connectivity between industry and
academia. There was no direct contact and impact of the student on society.
New educational policy stressed the need of student service to the community
and industry -academia connectivity. This enables the students to learn and
understand societal issues and tries to give an amicable solution. They became
a participant in the country’s development process. As a part of this, this
community service project has been done.
The topic I choose is “water facilities and drinking water availability”. Water
supply is one of the basic services for demographic, social and economic
development of a society and its provision is made compulsory by public
administrations. Law regulating the load regime databases determines in
article 25.2 and 26.1, that the supplying of drinking water is a service that
comes under the jurisdictions of municipalities although it may be manged
directly by municipal councils themselves, or indirectly via other, private, or
public legal entities. Urban demand for water shaws a great deal of uniformly
in its use, this being one of its main features. This is because it includes both
5
domestic use and other uses of water, such as municipal, collective, industrial,
commercial as well agricultural use.
In turn, the tourist industry and the second homes generate, in many areas of
India, a large demand on its supply, and may even end up exceeding demand
corresponding to the population habitually resident there (resident
population). The wed to have access to reliable and regular data regarding uses
of water is without question. In light of this, developing a statistical
information system for monitoring and assessing current and future political
actions regarding water management in India.
The survey on water supply and sanitation presented here has been designed
to serve the purposes. This survey is formed within operation 6019 “statistic on
water supply and sewerage” which appears in the national statistical plan
2013-2016.

PROJECT SPECIFICATION
As part of ST. Joseph’s College for Women (Autonomous) , I have
undergone for four weeks internships programme in
marripalem area. The topic I have selected was ‘water
facilities and drinking facilities. The main reason that I
have selected this topic was I wanted to benefit from
experience. In this report I mainly analysis, its advantages,
and my own experience. In this report, I describe about
the parameters and standards of water quality. Based on
these parameters, we have tested water samples from
our houses and arrived at conclusions. The main objective
of this survey is to quantify units and value in economic
magnitudes the activities related to the integral water
cycle. Objectives are:
• To provide information necessary for drinking water.
• To meet the demand for this type of data by different users.
• To bring awareness on various aspects and significance of
safe drinking water and involvement of stakeholders in
manner that make water everyone’s business.
A community survey is a data collection method aimed at a
particular community with specific question for that community.
A community survey come in all short of size and with a verity of
questions. The most important aspect is which resident are
7
targeted to answer so that local government can hear not only
from the largest number of people possible, but also from a
representative resident sample to receive broad. Reaching
feedback and to drive decision making that serves the
community at large. Civilization started to be dominated by the
urban group. Despite the fact that urbanization predominates, a
sizeable chunk of people in India still lives in village community
always had that sense unity and feeling of consciousness, that
helped them stay together and connected. Neighbourhood
functions were just not confined the banquet hall, all the people
came up together and prepared all the things. People in villages
have a strong sense of religious faith. People stay away from all
kinds of formality and lead simple life. The 2001 census reported
that 68.2% of household in India have access to safe drinking
water. 94% of rural population & 91% of people living in urban
area. The activities undertaken in the community during the
community service project did by me are:
• Socio-economic survey
• Water facilities and drinking water facilities survey.
• Awareness on water facilities
• Awareness on plastic usages
• Plantation
• Cleanliness program

It is through reflecting also out the actions at works and concrete
experiences that with lead you to recognizing that the experience
has forged a new way of thinking about the classroom theory. An
abstract concept worked through in a real situation, as an
immediate need, will change the participants. Almost everyone
has experienced a less than 100% positive work experience at one
time or another in their work lives. As an intern communication is
one of the most important professional skills you can develop.

PROBLEM TAKEN UP
This community internship was done in the area of Marripalem,
Visakhapatnam while doing survey reached many people and
interaction was done with them where I get to knew about there
economic stability and their lifestyle facilities for the regular
bases. In which the also get many issues and problem to deal for
living, mainly in times of any environmental or climatic
condition. The problem mainly arises are the shortage of water
in summer and sometimes while having disaster condition
where the water storage or coming isn’t properly. They must
manage storage in time for daily purpose uses. There is also
problem of disposing of used water in the outside of houses in
open channel, water bodies and also sometimes in the street
because of which the area gets stagnant, swampy area. This can
also cause the source of production of insects and mosquitos
which can cause many infected and viral diseases. This also
causes the cleanliness of the surrounding and environment to
get spoiled. These were the problems which is mainly present in
the areas of marripalem. Many of the area people use to
dumbed the garbage on the road side because of which the area
usually sting and gives bad smell and also doesn’t look good for
surrounding. This also leads to soil pollution and air pollution.

RECOMMENDATION AND CONCLUSION
Recommendation:
1.I first stage involves the selection between communal or individual
toilets communal facilities in coastal communities involve the
construction of several toilets built in one location shared by a
number of households while individuals’ facilities refer to the
construction of toilets for each household.
2. second stage is determining the appropriate means to dispose
used water, whether though individual householder community
sanitation systems. Individual household system. Involves on-site
treatment of waste.
Conclusions: The thing I notice through this survey is that in
marripalem even though the government supplying water through
tank and taps, but there are not able to I supply drinking water they
need some water is supplied by the government, but it is noticed
that there is a need to improve the walls quality. To conclude,
bottled water is as safe as it has been portrayed by marketing
agencies. It may not be free of micro-organisms. Tap water is
generally better option, as it's just as safe as bottled water but costs
considered by less and has much lower environmental impact.
