Statistics on drinking water and sanitation are collected through monitoring of
implementation of several schemes that are currently under way in the State, and
ad hoc surveys conducted from time to time. Junior Engineers at the Sub-division
level are in charge of project implementation and in the process of project
implementation they collect information on available assets in villages, and
works under way. Supervision is done by the Assistant Engineer to whom all
data/information collected by the Junior Engineer is submitted for compilation at
the Sub-division level and onward transmission to the Executive Engineer of the
concerned Circle. This is scrutinized and compiled for the Circle and sent to the
Zonal Chief Engineer of the concerned Zone. The statistics is compiled for the
Zone and sent to the Engineer-in-Chief of the Department where it is scrutinized
and consolidated for the State.
d) Publications
There are no separate publications on water supply and sanitation statistics.
These statistics are, however, published in the Plan documents, Economic Survey
of Himachal Pradesh and various statistical compilations of DES. Some data is
published in the Annual Administrative Report of the IPH Department.
