About Jal Jeevan Mission Tank

The Jal Jeevan Mission is an initiative by the Government of India aimed at providing functional household tap water connections to all rural households by 2024. The missions goal is to ensure safe drinking water to every rural home, which will significantly improve the quality of life and health standards for rural communities.

As part of this mission, the water storage tanks (or Jal Jeevan Mission tanks) are critical infrastructure. These tanks are used to store water that can then be distributed through piped water supply systems to households. The tanks play an essential role in:

1. Storing and Supplying Water: These tanks act as reservoirs to ensure a continuous supply of water, especially in areas with erratic water availability.

2. Ensuring Pressure: The water stored in these tanks is often elevated, helping to maintain the necessary pressure for the water to flow through pipes to rural households.

3. Serving as Backup: In case of interruptions in the water supply or low-pressure situations, these tanks provide a backup water source.
