  1. Proposal (in Presentation format) Title: Establishing Community-Based Small Water Treatment Plants in the Coastal Area of Bangladesh

  2. Location and Target of the Project • Country: Bangladesh • Region: Coastal Zone • District: Satkhira • Upazilla: Shyamnagar • Unions: Padmapukur and Gabura Target: Eight to ten thousand people from five communities

  3. Shymnagar Upazila Proposed Locations are Red Marked

  4. Overall Objective Safe drinking water available to the selected coastal communities of Shyamnagar Upazilla

  5. Specific Objectives • Identify spots suitable to install ‘Water health centers’ • To establish five water health centers in five selected spots of two unions • To motivate users pay for water • To form committees to take final ownership and management of the water health centres

  6. Main Activities • Identify suitable sites (spot) • Form Management Committee • Construction civil structure for the Water Health Centre • Install Water Health Centers • Construct water preservation tanks • Monitoring by AKK Water Health

  7. Drinking water situation in coastal zone • Water of the Bay of Bengal contains high salinity • Lack of safe drinking water has been the most acute problem of the coastal populace • The poor households the worst sufferer • Arsenic contamination in ground water • Approximately, 33% of Bangladesh population lives in the coastal zone

  8. Main causes of Drinking water problem in Project area (Shyamnagar Upazilla) • Bounded by rivers and the Bay from three sides • Many small rivers traverse the land area • All people of a community suffer due non-availability of safe drinking water • High salinity in ground water and spreads all over the area

  9. Factors behind scarcity of safe drinking water in Shyamnagar • Poor people can’t afford cost of Deep TW • Salinity spreads almost all over the area • River and sea waters highly saline • High level of salinity in the ground water • Ponds don’t hold water during the long dry season • Pond waters infested with harmful flora and fauna

  10. Rational to establish community-based water options • One Deep tube well costs BDT 45,000; beyond the reach of poor families • Salinity in ground water spreads over vast area, so suitable spots to sink tube well very few • All people in the community affected due to non-availability of safe drinking water • (so) ‘Water supply plants’ should be community- based • Community based installation will include rural institutions e.g. school, cyclone shelter etc. • Long-term sustainability of the water plant

  11. Preliminary Work done by Friendship to Establish Five Community-based Water Health Centers in Padmapukur and Gabura Unions of Shyamnagar • Friendship has been communicating with the of “A K Khan Water Health (Bangladesh) Ltd”. • A K Khan Water Health - a joint venture between the A K Khan group Bangladesh, International Finance Corporation (IFC), the World Bank group and Water health International, USA. • The company mandates: • Establishing decentralized water purification unit • Capable to treat raw water of any composition or contamination to WHO standard (cont.)

  12. Preliminary Work done by Friendship to Establish Five Community-based WHC in Padmapukur and Gabura Unions of Shyamnagar • Water samples from Shyamnagar tested in AKKWHC lab • Test results reveled that river water can’t be treated because of high (10,480) TDS • Tube well water (with 566 TDS) can be treated to drinkable level (Cont.)
