Abstract

Water is one of the most important necessities of human life. In terms of utility gender-based use of water is seen throughout the world. women play important or can say major role in conduct, arrangement and conservation of water which follows one of the internationally principal of water management. Women plays crucial role from the collection, utilization and manage the distribution of water within the family members specifically in rural areas. So, in development and water management policies should look towards the women interest. But water scarcity still exists, and millions of women did not access water to fulfill their basic needs. the objective of the study is to find the involvement of women in water supply and sanitation from the traditional past which plays major role in the formation of projects and programs to improve them. The potential role of women helps to execute different stages of a project such as planning, construction, maintenance, and evaluation depend up on cultural and technological diversity. The benefit of women involvement helps to achieve wider developmental goals in both direct and indirect ways. From the literature reviews theorizing data found in terms of gender based involvement in water policies without knowing the ground reality, for that it will be difficult to find out which policies will be beneficial for the poor women to get access of safe and clean water easily.
