Gohana
village is a water scarce one and is dependent on a single main source of water-
a
well that is situated at one end of the village. The water is used for
cooking and drinking. The closest source of water is a tube well with a TDS of
4000 ppm which is totally unpalatable – women take this water for all washing.

discolored and sometimes foul smelling – can never depend on...
