TENDER NOTICE
Background
Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 6 aims to ensure the availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all. Access to safe drinking water is a fundamental human right and plays a vital role in improving health, reducing poverty, and supporting economic growth. However, increasing population, urbanization, and economic development have led to rising water demand, resulting in depletion of water resources. This has caused water scarcity, droughts, and conflicts in many regions.
To address these challenges, SDG 6 focuses on improving water resource management, enhancing access to safe and affordable water, and promoting efficient water use. It also emphasizes strengthening water infrastructure, governance systems, and partnerships.
In India, the Government launched the Amrit Sarovar Mission on 24th April 2022 to conserve water for future generations. The mission aims to develop and rejuvenate 75 water bodies in each district, contributing to a total of 50,000 water bodies across the country. It also encourages community participation and resource mobilization.
WaterAid India supports such initiatives by working with communities and local governments to promote water conservation structures. It provides technical assistance to ensure that these structures are suitable for local conditions and integrates them with practices like efficient irrigation and soil conservation. Pond rejuvenation is one such intervention that helps capture rainwater and recharge groundwater.
Objectives and Village Profile
The project aims to rejuvenate a pond in Gram Panchayat Alampur Narhi, Block Bhittaura, District Fatehpur, Uttar Pradesh. The objective is to provide a sustainable water source through groundwater recharge and reuse of water for non-drinking purposes. It also seeks to promote community participation in operation and maintenance.
Alampur Narhi village has one habitation with a projected population of 2,232 in 2024. Agriculture is the primary occupation, with crops such as wheat, paddy, potato, and banana. Most farmers are small and marginal, relying on rainfall and tubewells for irrigation.
Key Findings
A site visit conducted on 20 December 2025 assessed the pond area, drainage pattern, and groundwater conditions. The village faces limited irrigation facilities and socio-economic challenges, including restricted access to healthcare and education.
The region experiences a sub-humid to semi-arid climate, with average annual rainfall of about 884 mm, mostly during the monsoon months (June to September). The village lies in the IndoGangetic plains with flat terrain, fertile alluvial soil, and an elevation of 100–150 meters above sea level.
Overall, pond rejuvenation in this village offers a sustainable solution for water conservation, groundwater recharge, and improved livelihoods.
Nature of Work: Rejuvenation of pond aligned with source sustainability
Place of Work: Usarhati Pond Alampur Narhi, Bhitraura, Fatehpur Uttar Pradesh
