  1. Collaborative Efforts on Drinking water and Sanitation in Coastal Areas of Junagadh Ambuja Cement Foundation Kodinar, Junagadh (Gujarat) June 24, 2011

  2. Nalagarh Darlaghat Ropar Roorkee Bathinda Dadri Chirawa Mundwa Rabriyawas Sanand Kodinar Farakka Surat Dahod Panvel Sankrail Bhatapara Chandrapur Nadikudi ACF’s Presence and out reach Total States – 11 Total Locations – 20 Reaching over 2 million population in 771 villages Energise, Involve and Enable communities to realise their potential.

  3. Project Area: Kodinar / Sutrapada / Veraval / Talala/Una blocks of Junagadh district and Jafrabad of Amreli district VillagesCovered : 211 Geographic Location: Gir Forest on East and Arabian Sea on West. Predominantly Agriculture based Economy Overview of Projects @Kodinar • Challenges • Over Exploitation of Groundwater which depleted water table • Salinity Ingress occurred in coastal area faced challenge of poor quality of water

  4. Water Resources Development

  5. Drip in Sugarcane Crop – Growing with Less Water Agro-based Livelihood • Promoted Horticulture in 5776 acres • Micro Irrigation Promoted in 3103 acre • Capacity building of farmers an ongoing activity • Established Krishi Vigayan Kendra for farming community of Junagadh district Recharging System of Well

  6. Skill Based Livelihood • SEDI (Skill & Entrepreneurship • Development Institute) established • 13 Centers in 9 States • Skill training on: • Electrical / Motor Winding • Nursing Assistant • Security guard training • Hospitality • Motor bike repairing • Driving skill • Advanced tailoring / Fashion technology • Mason training and • Many other trades

  7. Coastal Area Development Program • Comprehensive Drinking Water and Sanitation Programme- Collaboration with WASMO (GoG) and CSPC • 30 coastal villages – 3 - Taluka’s, Una , Kodinar & Sutrapada • Villages village participatory plan for Drinking water Scheme, WRM, RRWHS, Sanitation • Implementing by Village level Pani Samiti’s • CSPC Supports for capacity building, overheads and for sanitation Participatory Planning Village Level Meeting

  8. Constructed 2406 RRWHS structures in coastal villages, Av Storage : 21.94 MCT, Av. Cost : Rs. 23823 per Tank Partnership with WASMO,SRTT and from ACF own fund Conducted Study on Physical and Socio-economic Impacts by Institute for Resource Analysis and Policy (IRAP) RRWHS

  9. Major Findings: RRWHS RRWHS improved drinking water security of the adopter H/Hs Adoption of RRWHS led to reduced dependence on the distantly located water supply sources and time savings especially for women. Maximum time saving was 5 hours/day and minimum 2.5 hours/day. Presence of new storage at the HH level enabled adopters to purchase bulk water & store it during summer months Social event. Lower incidence of water borne diseases and reduced health expenditure were reported by adopter HHs.

  10. Drinking Wells/Sealing of Wells Sealing Drinking Water Well Renovation of Saline Well- 75 Drinking Water Well / Hand pump-12 Partnership with WASMO / SRTT / CSPC

  11. Major Findings: Well Sealing Sealing of wells help HHs access water free from salinity for all their domestic needs. More than 90% of the surveyed HHs depend on the sealed wells for meeting various domestic water requirements. After well sealing, the HHs significantly reduced their dependence on the uncertain and distant piped water supply source for drinking water. HH water consumption has also increased. The mean value of the water collected per family was found to be 442 litre/day. Majority of HHs now also use well water for growing vegetables in their homesteads. There is some reduction in time spent in water collection, though it is not as high as that found in the case of RWHS.

  12. Construction of toilet blocks at H/H level -1275 nos Integral part of Coastal areas development, RO projects. Promoting under TSC, CSPC and ACF’s own fund. Construction of village drainage systems Construction of village approach roads Sanitation
