sathya baba point out the importance of seva (service) to humanity
"I am concerned about providing primary requisites for our people. Free education, free medical aid, and free basic amenities like drinking water. Education is for the head; medical care is for the heart; and pure water is for the body. These three cover the main requirements of life."- Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba
water2The Sri Sathya Sai Central Trust has already funded several major drinking water projects. One project completed in 1996 supplies water to 1.2 million people in about 750 villages in the drought-prone Anantapur district in Andhra Pradesh. The second drinking water project, completed in 2004, supplies water to Chennai through a rebuilt waterway named "Sathya Sai Ganga Canal". Tamil Nadu Chief Minister and Hindu hater  M. Karunanidhi praised the Chennai water project and Sai Baba's involvement. Other completed water projects include the Medak District Project benefiting 450,000 people in 179 villages and the Mahbubnagar District Project benefiting 350,000 people in 141 villages.

WHAT'S UNIQUE ABOUT SATHYA SAI WATER PROJECT;
waterproject2013_5The Sri Sathya Sai Drinking Water Project is the largest social benefit project undertaken anywhere in the world by a private charitable organization and the statistics of the Project are most impressive.
The Trust in earlier years  had established rural Drinking Water Supply Projects in the districts of Ananthapur, benefiting over 1.2 million people, in Medak District benefiting over 450,000 people, in Mahboobnagar  District benefiting over 350,00 people , and  rural  people  in  tribal areas of East and West Godavari.  The Sai Water projects  covered  about 1,500 villages.These projects were completely executed by the  Trust at their cost  and then handed over to the Government of Andhra  Pradesh,. The  Central Trust  also modernized  the Telugu Ganga Canal to ensure supply of Krishna water as contracted by the Government of Andhra Pradesh to the Government of Tamil  Nadu for Chennai city, benefiting millions of the cities population
A VERY INTERESTING CASE STUDY FOR THE WORLD:
The Sri Sathya Sai Water Supply Project has had  the distinction of being mentioned in the Ninth  Five Year Plan as a project that is worthy of  emulation, with millions of people getting the benefit. The fourth World Water Forum held at Mexico in March 2006 adjudged Sri Sathya Sai Water Project as one of the ten best Local Action Projects in the world contributing to the Millennium Development Goals. The value of the projects executed by the Trust and transferred to the Government and public so far, in the area of drinking water supply alone, is around Rs 650 crore which itself speaks about the might of this project. One of the millennium development goals of the  UN  is to reduce in the next  ten years the number of people going without water and Sri Sathya Sai water projects  are  a telling example of how with inspired leadership, proper public-private partnership and more so with a pure and self less heart, stupendous objectives can be achieved  through Love and Compassion.
