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.

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.

technical 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 structures

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.
