Comparative Cost Study of Shaft over the RCC ESR in Rural Water Supply Scheme

RCC (Reinforced Cement Concrete) Elevated Service Reservoirs (ESRs) are commonly used in rural water supply schemes for storing and distributing water. However, there are several challenges associated with their use in rural setting such as High Initial Cost, Long Construction Time, Maintenance and Repair Challenges, Structural Integrity Issues, Land Acquisition Issues, Water Losses, Vulnerability to Natural Disasters. The main objective of the study is to study the problems faced in running rural water supply scheme, to understand the application of shaft in rural water supply scheme over the RCC ESR, to carry out the cost analysis of shaft over the RCC ESR, to compare the shaft and RCC ESR based on the performance and its lifecycle. with the help of case studies. Thus the aim of following study is to minimize the cost of water supply projects also reduce the wok completion time and to minimize the operational and Maintenance cost of project in future.
