## MODEL FOR SUSTAINABLE SELF-FINANCING INTEGRATED RURAL AND POOR URBAN DEVELOPMENT FOR THE WORLD'S POOR

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.

Existing drinking water facilities in the project area.

The people in (the project area) do not enjoy adequate hygiene education, sanitation or clean drinking water.

The people in the communities concerned currently depend for their water supply on (description of current water sources). The water from these sources is contaminated and is usually consumed without further treatment for drinking, cooking and personal needs. Resulting diseases affect the quality of life and the productivity of the people.

The way water is provided has other social implications too. The supply and management of water is usually the responsibility of women. They often have to go many (number) kilometers to fetch water. This takes a good deal of their time and effort which could otherwise be used to improve the living conditions of their families in other ways. Supply of readily accessible clean drinking water should improve the health of the whole population and ease the pressure of work on women.

(Lists of villages with existing facilities)

List of drinking water requirements.

The assessment of drinking water requirements is carried out on the basis of an average distance not exceeding 10-200 meters between each home and a drinking water point. A basic drinking water supply of at least 25 litres per person per day is foreseen. A further 25 litres per person per day is usually made available as a back-up at protected boreholes and wells, which are placed further away. The project also provides for domestic rainwater harvesting systems designed to supply an extra 25 litres per person per day of non-potable water for personal uses such as washing and cleaning. Water is not required for sanitation purposes, as dry composting eco-sanitation toilet systems are expected to be used.

Example of calculation of drinking water requirements.

(Village name).

See map (refer to map in the maps files).

a) Inhabitants.

(number) family groups, (number) population.

Drinking water supply required @ 25 litres per person per day = (amount) liters/day.

b) Source of nearest electricity supply.

c) Available clean drinking water supply (boreholes)(wells)(handpumps).

d) Social structures.

There are also:

(number) Primary schools

--How many children? By day? Resident?
--Is the school already supplied with water? Give details
--Is the school connected to the electricity network?

(number) Intermediate schools

--How many children? By day? Resident?
--Is the school already supplied with water? Give details
--Is the school connected to the electricity network?

(number) Hospitals/clinics

--Number of beds?
--Number of nurses and doctors
--Daily number of visitors?
--Existing water supply?
--Connected to electricity network?
--Water requirements??

(number) Tourist attractions.

--Number of persons present
--Existing water supply?
--Connected to electricity network?
--Water requirements??

(number) Market places.

--Number of persons present? How often? How long?
--Existing water supply?
--Connected to electricity network?
--Water requirements??

(number) Churches, mosques, temples

(Description of use)

e) Adaptation existing water supply?

How can existing water supply structures be brought within the project structures?

Are there any ownership restrictions?

How can they be solved?

f) New drinking water supply.

From several (number) large diameter wells or boreholes, pump a total of (amount)m3 of drinking water per day.

g) Siting of boreholes/wells.

(List indicative sites of each well or borehole).

h) Pump installations in each well or borehole.

Each well with (number) Solar Spring (or a suitable alternative) high pressure solar pumps, for a total of (number) solar pumps for all of the wells and boreholes together.

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 40-50) 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 well with triple unit inertia (or alternative hydraulic) back-up handpump-system next to it, for a total of (number) hand pumps for all of the wells and boreholes together. In wells or boreholes serving very small communities, a single unit back-up handpump may be sufficient.

i) The average expected distance between each well or borehole listed in f) and the solar pumps installed in it in g) is : (number) metres.

j) Description of each well or borehole system.

- The well or borehole itself.

- (Number) solar pumps with accompanying electronics.

- Photovoltaic panel sets being ( indicate peaks watts to be installed – usually 300-400 Wp) (number (usually 4 panels with a nominal rating between 75 and 100Wp) for each solar pump isntalled, together with panel support fitted with a multipoint handtracking system.

- Fence or similar around PV panel installations.
A triple handpump system as backup. (In very small communities a single unit back-up handpump may be sufficient.)

- 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.

k) Description of each drinking water tank installation.

- The drinking water tank itself with its fittings.

- The base for the water tanks.

- 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.

l) Well commission ownership.

Ownership of the following structures is vested in each 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.

m) Tank commission ownership.

Ownership of the following structures is vested in each 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.
