05.40 DESCRIPTION OF THE PLANNED SERVICE STRUCTURES

 

05.41 Water supply structures : general information.

 

Present drinking water structures in the project area. This project will be decentralised. About 66  large diameter wells and 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 spring rebound inertia hand-pumps or alternative hydraulic hand pumps as back-up. 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  200-300 people. The capacity required to give 25 litres per day to 200 people for three days is 15m3, the planned size of the tanks.

 

05.31 Structures for the drinking water distribution system.

 

For possible technical solutions for the drinking water distribution system refer to:

 

DRAWING OF WATER SYSTEM STRUCTURES.
DRAWING OF TYPICAL WATER TANK AREA.

 

Usually just one Moraisian workshop will be held in a given project area.

Indicative participation

The Moraisian trainers
A member of the project coordination team
General Consultant
The consultant for gypsum composites
At least one representative of the ONG Project New Horizons for  Kiogoro
Representative of the Health Ministry
Representative of the Rural Development ministry
At least 5 observers (possible coordinators for future projects)
66 persons indicated by the tank commissions interested in the systematic maintenance of the structures
297 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

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

 

i) Maintenance
- Creation of the maintenance structure
- Relations with suppliers
- Importation and management of spare parts
- Planning of preventive maintenance
- Maintenance kits
- Monitoring system
- System of statistics

- Logistics
- Assembly and stocking of materials

Drinking water 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.
