PROJECT DESCRIPTION

1.1

NAME OF PROJECT:

This project has been named as DRINKING WATER SUPPLY SCHEME DIN DA
NAKKA.
1.2

LOCATION OF PROJECT:
DIN DA NAKKA community lies in Union Council Sachan of Siran Valley in District
Mansehra. It is situated at a distance of approximately 46 km North of Mansehra
city. The community is accessed through black-top road which includes 28 km of
main Karakuram Highway up to Shinkiari. The black-top road beyond Shinkiari is
not in a very good condition and harsh weather and poor maintenance have taken
their toll. An eroded bumpy road emerging out of Karakuram Highway then
stretches up to the community. The community lies very far away from the Jaborri
community and it takes 4 hours of continuous walking along uneven tracks to
reach the community.

1.3

INTRODUCTION:

N-W.F.P has one of the lowest human development indicators, as reflected by

areas high infant, child and maternal mortality rates. Even prior to the October 8
earth quake, there was a limited access to safe water and sanitation. The earth
quakes devastation has, therefore, intensified the already-dire situation. The
earth quake disaster has significantly affected the water and sanitation sector in
Siran valley of district Mansehra along with the other districts of N-W.F.P.
Rural drinking water supply schemes in these areas are usually sourced from
natural springs, streams and rivers and, through a lesser extent, through dug
wells and tube wells. Almost 75% of the rural water systems before the earth
quake were gravity schemes. Most of these water supply networks were in a poor
condition, which has been further exacerbated by the disaster. In most cases
existing water infrastructures have been completely destroyed by the earthquake,
aftershocks, and landslides.
DIN DA NAKKA is one of those communities where there is no effective water
supply infrastructure to service the water needs of its people. This design and
cost estimate has been prepared in order to provide the potable gravity-fed
drinking water supply scheme for the earth quake affected people of DIN DA
NAKKA.

1.4

RELATION OF PROJECT WITH UMBRELLA PROGRAM DOCUMENT/PLAN:

Rehabilitation of water supply is part of a larger water and sanitation program
being carried out in the Siran and Konch valley by CRS partners and CRS
operational teams.

A key project strategy is to enable affected households to

reduce risk of hygiene-related disease by rehabilitating community water supply,

rebuilding sanitation structures, and increasing knowledge of appropriate hygiene
practices.
Through the CRS emergency response, households in 100+ villages of Siran and
Kontch Valley have received safe, adequate and durable shelter; 50% of villages
have received emergency sanitation facilities; and 29 communities have water
supply schemes rehabilitated. While families enter into the reconstruction phase
of the emergency, they are looking to rebuild household and community-level
infrastructure.

Through assessment and emergency program evaluation,

households have expressed the need for appropriate household-level sanitation

facilities and rehabilitated water supply schemes used for domestic purposes.
This water and sanitation project will focus on five major areas: 1) mapping out
permanent house and sanitation facility sites; 2) provision of permanent

sanitation facilities using a self-build approach; 3) rehabilitation of community

water supply schemes utilizing local skilled and unskilled labor; 4) providing
health and hygiene training for women and children; and 5) providing cash-forwork opportunities to skilled and unskilled labor within the community as well as
households for reconstructing sanitation facilities and water supply schemes.

1.5

PRE- EARTH QUAKE FACILITIES FOR DRINKING WATER

Before the earth quake, there was no sufficient water supply scheme to serve the
water needs of entire DIN DA NAKKA community. The TMA had done the water
supply scheme in the community in 1985-86 based on house-to-house
connections. There was a Source Tank, Main Supply line of diameter 1 and main
Storage Tank as well as the distribution lines for the whole village whose diameter
were 0.5. The scheme, although not in a very good shape as well as full
operational mode, was serving the community needs to a greater extent until the
devastating earth quake of Oct 8 struck its fate.

1.6

POST- EARTH QUAKE/PRESENT SET UP FOR DRINKING WATER

The earth quake engraved its impact on existing water set up of DIN DA NAKKA.
Most of the nearby springs sources initially used for water supply have either
dried up or their discharges have become too low to fulfill the increasing demands
of growing DIN DA NAKKA population. Most of the main pipe lines got buried
under the land slides after getting broken apart. Distribution lines also suffered
breakages at place to place and the people are now deprived of the supply of
potable water at their door-steps. Currently the people of DIN DA NAKKA, mostly
women have to go out of their homes to far away water source in order to meet
the water needs of their families.

1.7

RELATION OF PROJECT WITH CRS OVER ALL PROGRAM

Rehabilitation of community infrastructure such as drinking water supply is part of
a larger overall CRS strategy for the earthquake region. The proposed strategy
takes a holistic approach to recovery and rehabilitation, informed by CRS Integral
Human Development conceptual framework.1 Taking into account the existing
livelihood strategies, the local economy, the institutional and policy environment,
and disaster risks, the CRS project strategy intends to help restore individual
household assets and secure community assets to allow livelihoods recovery and
future growth to take place.

Adapted from the Sustainable Livelihood framework promoted by DfID and others, CRS IHD conceptual framework was developed by
CRS under an Institutional Capacity Building grant from USAID.

The project seeks to contribute to increased social assets by strengthening

community groups capacity to address common needs as well as identify and act
to reduce vulnerabilities to adverse shocks and disasters. In addition, the project
proposes to increase livelihood related human assets strengthening knowledge
and skills on safe construction, erosion prevention and increased savings.
Rehabilitation of drinking water supply will contribute towards restoration of
community assets, and will allow families to continue recovery of their livelihoods
and encourage future growth of the community.

1.8

SUMMARY AND SCOPE OF PROJECT

The

project

is

planned

on

need-based

participatory

approach,

involving

community contribution of minimum 15% of total cost of project. An Initial

Assessment was conducted in the community in order to check feasibility of the
project in prevailing circumstances. After the pre-feasibility studies, a Water
Management Committee of the community was formed by involving all
community members. The detailed survey/assessment was then carried out by
the CRS Field Engineers on 5th September, 2006 in the presence of the Water
Management Committee. As per detailed survey, the following are the major
components of the project that would be carried out in accordance with the
approved designs and estimates.
1. Source development and protection by constructing a cut off wall of 6 ft and
source tank of 4x4x3 deep (internal dimensions).
2. Laying/installation of 6500 Rft long supply main of 1.5 diameter up to Main
storage tank.
3. Construction of Main storage tank of 10,000 Gal (US) capacity with seismic
resistance being incorporated in.
4. Laying/ installation of one main distribution lines 1500 Rft of 1.5 diameter.
5. Providing secondary branch lines emerging out from main distribution lines
1100 Rft of 1 diameter.
The main objective of the project is to ensure sustainable drinking water supply to
the population in required quantity and good quality. The implementation
approach conforms to the ERRAs over all strategy of BUILD BACK BETTER in
general and Reconstruction and Rehabilitation Strategy- WATER AND SANITATION
SECTOR in particular. CRS Water Supply Design Principles, which revolve around
SAFE, ADEQUATE AND DURABLE construction, have served as guide lines for
designing different components of project. The project will bring the following
main benefits to the community.

1. About 1485 persons will get benefited directly form the project.
2. The work load of women, being more vulnerable component of community,
would definitely be reduced to a greater extent as, traditionally; they are the
ones mostly responsible for fetching water for their families.
3. It will contribute significantly towards improving the health and hygiene of the
people.
4. Construction of the project will involve local labor as much as possible thus
helping in their capacity building and improving their financial status.
5. The community will be sharing a minimum of 15% of total project cost, by
contributing in one or more of the potential areas. This will create a sense of
ownership among the community, moving one step further ahead towards
sustainability of the project.
6. The Water Management Committee will be imparted three different trainings,
namely O&M Training, Management Training and Hygiene Training in order to
keep the project Safe, Durable and Sustainable.

1.9

GESTATION PERIOD
The estimated time for Implementation of the project and the facilities created
there under is 25 working days, subject to clear weather and favorable work
conditions.

2.

FUNDING SOURCE
All the funds required to complete the project shall be provided by CRS-Pakistan

under its Earth Quake Response Program.

JUSTIFICATION AND BENEFIT ANALYSIS

3.1

BROADER OBJECTIVES OF THE PROJECT

CRS will strive to provide a water supply scheme that improves the level of
service for households, addresses improved water quality, provides a material
quality that is appropriate for community needs, and has improved earthquakeresistant building standards. With the support of local line departments and ERRA
Islamabad, CRS intends to complete the project by 30 September 2006.

To encourage community participation and sustainability, CRS staff will form a

community water committee that will later on join the community village
development committee.

The water committee will be responsible for: 1)

assisting in mobilization meetings to identify rehabilitated scheme locations; 2)

identifying local skilled and unskilled labor for water supply repair work; and 3)
consulting with households to determine the community contribution to scheme
repair cost. While the project is ongoing, the committee will receive training on
operation and maintenance, and water supply management skills.

3.2

COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION AND CONTRIBUTION

Community involvement in a project is an important way for people to become
aware of and select solutions to their own problems. It is important that a
community itself believes in the improved water supply system. To achieve this,
community would share a minimum of 15% of total project cost as a must,
actively participate during the surveying and design process, and be involved in
the construction and maintenance phases. Community will provide its 15% share
in any of the following potential areas;
1. Procurement and/or transportation of project construction materials, for
example, sand, cement, gravel, stones, steel, pipe materials etc.

2. Providing unskilled and/or unskilled labor.

In addition to this, Water Management Committee will remain involved at each
and every stage of project, from detailed survey to the end of project
implementation. It will also be responsible for O&M of the Project once it is
complete.

3.3

ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL CONSIDERATIONS

Projects of rural water supply schemes like this for DIN DA NAKKA generally
comprise small scale infrastructures which normally do not have any significant
negative environmental or social impacts. However, to avoid any adverse impact,
the project has been properly planned, sited and designed. Proper care has been
given to address the environmental issues related to waste water disposal,
amount of agriculture lands disturbed, ensured that proposed water sources being
tapped are unpolluted and adequate measures have been taken so that water
quality

meets

WHO

guidelines

in

physical,

chemical

and

bacteriological

characteristics for drinking water.

On the social side, it has been ensured that all the local ethnic and religious
groups are included as beneficiaries, and that their concerns are addressed.

OPERATION AND MAINTENACE

5.1

POST- COMPLETION OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE

After the completion of project, it will be handed over to the concerned line
department of government in order to run it. The day to day maintenance and
operation will also be a responsibility of Water Management Committee of DIN
DA NAKKA community.

5.2

WATER MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE

The success of a community based infrastructure project resides heavily on
interest and participation of the people directly served by it. To achieve this, a
Water Management Committee of DIN DA NAKKA, comprising of 5 members,
has been constituted jointly by the community and CRS which will work side by
side with CRS to ensure the satisfactory implementation of the project. The
committee will also be responsible for the O&M of the project after its completion.
For this, committee will be imparted different trainings at different times to build
its capacity for successful management of the project.

5.3

O&M TRAINING TO WATER MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE

Adequate provisions are to be made for proper and maintenance of such type of
project at local level and through an action agency back-up. A well-maintained
project needs well-trained people to operate it. The O&M Training will give Water
Management Committee the practical skills needed to care for their community
project and help to instill respect for the people operating the project among the

11

rest of community members.

With the proper training, the community will be

able to make repairs by themselves and develop a feeling of ownership.

5.4

MANAGEMENT TRAINING TO WATER MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE

The purpose of Management Training is to give Water Management Committee
the skills to effectively manage their project. Committees will be given training
on concepts of equitable water management, repair contingency planning, and
community involvement in water supply projects. After the project is complete,
the water committees should be able to exemplify the knowledge gained through
the management training. Activities which would be encouraged are: collecting
household contribution towards a repair and maintenance fund pre or postdamage, holding monthly community meetings to discuss water supply and
community infrastructure, mediating conflicts resolutions between households,
and understand the link between the community infrastructure and the
responsible line department.

5.5

HYGIENE TRAINING TO WATER MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE

The purpose of Hygiene Training is to educate the Water Management Committee
on how to keep their water supply system hygienically clean and safe against the
potential contaminations either by humans, or by animals or by any other factor.
As a result, community committees should be able to identify, prevent, and repair
any areas of the scheme that are at risk for contamination.

In addition,

committees will be encouraged to consider developing community sanitation

schemes or programs in order to reduce health-related diseases.
