Laxmipura, a tiny village in the water-starved Sabarkantha district, stopped waiting for the state government and their local politician of various hues to give them the much-needed clean water. Instead, the villagers recently opted for innovative "water ATM" that locals refer to as "ATW," or any time water.

A local gram panchayat has set up such a hi-tech gizmo and also distributed electromagnetic ATW cards, which look like regular ATM swipe cards, used to get 20 litres of water for just Rs 5.
