Imagine a citizen who can log on to one internet web site 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year to easily find the government services. e-governance is a mechanism through which information and communication technology (ICT) can be adopted in governance systems. e-governance will allow citizens to communicate with government and participate in government’s policy making. Many developing countries are searching for different ways to bring about e- governance. The mechanism of e-Seva (electronic seva) adopted in India, by the state of Andhra Pradesh (A.P.), proves to be successful in bringing about e governance. Under this project web enabled rural kiosks have been established through which citizen can access number of services. This paper focuses on services offered by e-Seva project through which A.P. governments gives equal right to all citizens to access the number of services. The pro ject underscores the point that advantages of Information Technology cannot be made limited to the few sections of the society and everybody has an equal right to access the same.

The Geographical Information System (GIS) is an important technology for water supply system. This study mainly concentrated on developing a GIS based system water supply system which can provide equal distribution of water and effective decision making for management.This paper describes a project to integrate EPANET and Arcview to assist emergency managers in assessing public water supplies. The integrated system is called PipelineNet. This system calculates, locates, and maps the population at risk from the introduction of contaminants to the public water supply. The EPANET toolkit allowed Arcview to utilize the EPANET engine to route a contaminant through the system under extended period simulation. The new system would improve the efficiency and accuracy of the data retrieval, mapping and analysis. This paper is an extensive overview of the recent applications of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in the water resources engineering.
