Rural & Urban Area Development
Ever increasing population in rural as well as urban areas, poses typical problems of scarcity of water, power, housing, drainage, surface transport, etc. and also requires appropriate solutions for the resulting pollution and environmental degradation. Inadequate facilities and slow pace of development in rural area results in migration of population from rural area to the urban centres, which further complicates the issues and aggravate the problems. To check the flow of migration of people from rural to urban areas, it is essential to provide adequate facilities and opportunities in the rural areas by way of developing the infrastructure.
WAPCOS has been providing consultants services for the projects in rural areas for development of infrastructure facilities like rural housing, roads, water supplying sanitation, rural electrification and in the areas of minor irrigation and agriculture, rainwater harvesting, water quality monitoring, wasteland development, micro watershed development, environment, capacity building, monitoring & evaluation, etc.
In the urban areas the company has been involved in the consultancy services in water supply and sanitation, power generation, transmission and distribution, underground cabling, environmental studies, assistance to Municipal Corporations, storm water drainage, flood protection measures, etc.
