Incorporating innovative
social, financial, economic, local administrative and productive structures,
numerous renewable energy applications, with an important role for women in
poverty alleviation in rural and poor urban environments.

opens the gates of the market but the bolt that bars them"

Edition 11:
Present drinking
water structures in the project area. This project will be decentralised.
About (number) large diameter wells and (number) large diameter boreholes will
be dug using local labour, construction methods and materials supplied under the
local LETS systems.
About
6-9 solar submersible horizontal axis
piston pumps or equivalent technology will be installed in each well. Each
of the pumps will supply water to a dedicated water tank serving a local
community. The well is the hub of the supply system. The water pipelines
radiating from it are its spokes.
Schools
will each receive one dedicated tank. Clinics, for further safety, will be
served by two tanks each with its own pump.
Each
well will be equipped with back-up hand-pumps (see Schedule 5 for a complete
description of the hand-pumps).The hand-pumps will provide water during
unusually long periods of bad weather.
Where
culturally appropriate, there will be a communal washing area near each well so
that women used to doing their washing in groups can continue to do so. The
backup hand-pumps may also be used to service the washing areas and in cases of
emergency.
The
water supply is based on a water consumption of 25 litres per person per day.
Since solar energy is to be used to pump the water, bad weather must be taken
into account. For that reason, the tanks need to have a capacity for three days'
use. Each tank will supply about 200 people. The capacity required to give 25
litres per day to 200 people for three days is 15m3, the planned size of the
tanks.

solutions for the drinking water distribution system refer to:

Usually just one Moraisian
workshop will be held in a given project area.
Indicative participation
The Moraisian trainers
The project coordinator
Consultant Terry Manning
Consultant EOS
advises
At least one representative of the ONG
Representative of the
Health Ministry
Representative of the Rural Development ministry
At
least 5 observers (possible coordinators for future projects)
30 persons
indicated by the tank commissions interested in the systematic maintenance of
the structures
100 persons indicated by the tank commissions, interested in
drilling boreholes, drilling wells and building the associated civil and
associated works
Duration of the workshop:
about four weeks.
The Workshop will be
expected to produce the following structures:
a) A coordination structure
- definition of the social form
- statutes
- rules
-
professional and administrative structures
- financial aspects including
payments
- relations with the local money LETS systems
b) Analysis of requirements
Refere to Schedule 1 for full details)
c) Hydrogeological research
d) Preparation of maps
showing:
- sites of boreholes and wells
- tank sites
- feed-pipe
installation lines
e) Specifications
- Work
bases/depots
- Boreholes/wells
- Solar pumps
- Hand pumps
-
Washing areas
- Solar panels
- Panel supports
- Borehole/well
surroundings
- Laying of pipelines
- Installation tanks
- Eventual
installation of UV purification units
- Training of well commissions
-
Training of tank commission
f) Permits
g) The civil works
-
Base for storage of equipment and materials
- Formation of teams
-
Planning of works
- Logistics
- Equipment and materials
h) Installation of the

The
distributed drinking water supply structures are the structures which need the
largest formal money capital investments. They will defined by the people
themselves during a capacitation
workshop following the formation of most of the other structures planned. The
following general indications are therefore subject to changes, some of them
important, from one project application to another. The following information
should, however, give a fair idea of the size and nature of project applications.
