The Urban Drinking Water and Sanitation Policy 2003 of GoK focuses on raising the levels of efficiency in the management of drinking water systems in urban areas so as to give satisfactory service to the citizens. The policy emphasizes on full cost recovery and private sector participation for bringing in efficiency in the system. It is envisaged that this policy would facilitate implementation of the sector reforms and subsequently achieve the long-term vision of providing high quality and sustainable water supply and sanitation services in all the ULBs of Karnataka.

The programme “Karnataka Integrated Urban Water Management Investment Programme” (KIUWMIP) aims to institutionalize mechanisms in the urban context which contribute to managing increasingly scarce water resources in a holistic and sustainable manner. Investment support will be provided to modernize and expand urban water supply and sanitation (UWSS) while strengthening relevant institutions to enhance efficiency, productivity and sustainability in water use. The program is titled “Jalasiri”.
