05.40 DESCRIPTION OF THE PLANNED SERVICE STRUCTURES

 

05.41 Water supply structures : general information.

 

Existing drinking water facilities in the project area.

 

List of drinking water requirements. 

 

The solar pumps installed in each well are dedicated according to the following criteria:

 

1.        One solar pump dedicated to a water tank installation supplying each (number, usually 200-300) users, being  (number, usually 20-25) extended families.

2.        Schools in each well commission area : one solar pump dedicated to a  drinking water tank installation for each school.

3.        Clinics in each well commission area :  TWO DEDICATED PUMPS each serving one drinking water tank with (at least 15m3 per day).

4.        Important market places, tourist attractions,  public buildings. Separate systems may be installed where the number of users justifies them.


Each borehole/well with triple unit inertia (or alternative hydraulic) back-up handpump-system next to it, for a total of 198 hand pumps for all of the wells and boreholes together. While a single unit back-up handpump may be sufficient in wells or boreholes serving very small communities, this does not apply in this project as the communities are all quite large.

 

The average expected distance between each well or borehole listed and the solar pumps installed in it in is estimated to be (750 ??) metres.

 

        Description of each well or borehole system. 

-                      The well or borehole itself.

-                      Solar pumps (their number is variable between 2 and 8) with accompanying electronics.

-                      Photovoltaic 300Wp 48V panel sets each with four x 75wp panels. The nominal rating of the panels used may however be anything between 75 and 100Wp

-                      for each solar pump installed, together with an appropriate panel support fitted with a multipoint handtracking system.

-                      Fence or similar around PV panel installations.
        A triple handpump system as backup.

-                      A hand pump platform.

-                      A washing place.

-                      Sink pits for water drainage.

-                      Paths for users, whose feet must always remain dry.

-                      Simple accommodation for guardians.

-                      Any other buildings for well-commission level services which may be installed in the well or borehole area. An example of these is the local money system

-                      transaction registration units.

-                      Any communal gardens for the recycling of waste water run-off.

 

                Description of each drinking water tank installation.

-                      The drinking water tank itself  with its fittings.

-                      The base for the water tank.

-                      A water tank access area with drainage. Users’ feet must always remain dry.

-                      Sink pits for water drainage.

-                      UV purification devices for tanks supplying clinics and schools.

-                      The (imbedded) feedpipe leading from the well or borehole to the drinking water tank installation.

-                      Any communal gardens for the recycling of waste water run-off.

        Well commission ownership.

 

Ownership of the following structures is vested in each well commission (“The central committee of the Cooperative New Horizons for Kiogoro for and on behalf of the [name of the well commission]”  :

-                      The ground where the well or borehole installations are placed.

-                      The well or borehole itself.

-                      The fence or similar around PV panel installations.
        The back-up hand pump system.

-                      The hand pump platform.

-                      The washing place.

-                      The sink pits for water drainage.

-                      The paths for users, whose feet must always remain dry.

-                      The simple accommodation for guardians.

-                      Any ground and communal gardens used for the recyling of waste water run-off.

 

  Tank commission ownership.

 

  Ownership of the following structures is vested in each tank commission: (“The central committee of the Cooperative New Horizons for Kiogoro for and on behalf of the [name of the tank commission]”

-                      The solar pump with accompanying electronics serving the drinking water tank.

-                      The photovoltaic panel set ,and its supports, serving the drinking water tank.

-                      The drinking water tank itself  with its fittings.

-                      The base for the water tanks.

-                      The water tank access area with drainage. Users’ feet must always remain dry.

-                      The sink pits for water drainage.

-                      UV purification devices (for tanks supplying clinics and schools).

-                      The (imbedded) feedpipe leading from the well or borehole to the drinking water tank installation.

-                      Any communal gardens for the recycling of waste water run-off.
