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. Proposed Locations are Red Marked
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

12. Water samples from Shyamnagar tested in AKKWHC lab
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.)

13. Identification two Spots
Preliminary Work done by Friendship to Establish Five Community-based WHCs in Padmapukur and Gabura Unions of Shyamnagar
Identification two Spots
Friendship already identified following sites (spots)
Site 1
Name of Water Point: Gabura Bazar
Target Area: Chalkbara
Union: Gabura
User Household: 1500
Note: More site selection in progress
Site 2
Name of Water Point: Pakhimara
Targeted Area: Jhapa,
Union: Padmapukur
User Household: 1800
