## 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.

#### Equipment at water points near the users' houses.

Refer to drawing of typical tank installation.

The solar pumps pump water from the wells to the various water points (tanks) near to the users' houses. The chosen pumps can easily transport the water for several kilometres from the wells to the water tanks through polyethylene pipelines. The above-ground tanks will each have a capacity large enough for three days' water for the community to which they are dedicated. Back-up hand pump systems will also be available at the well sites in case of need. The water in the tanks at schools and clinics will be purified using ultraviolet solar purification units. Water purification can be extended to other community supply tanks at a later stage of the project. The water tanks will be fitted with double stainless steel ball valve sets. The ground surface at the water points will laid with shingle and kept dry so that the users' feet always remain dry. A sink-pit with stones and shingle will be used to drain any spill water. The tanks will be made locally from gypsum composite materials.

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

(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) Positioning of boreholes/wells.

h) Pump installations in each well or borehole.

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.

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) feed pipe 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.

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.

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

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

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