Project Detail:
The project is to develop bulk water supply systems to provide reliable, sustainable and safe drinking water to the rural communities in two districts of the state of Karnataka. The project comprises three components.
Component 1 - Investment in infrastructure for multi-village bulk water supply systems: (1) construction of bulk water supply structures including: intake structures, pumping stations, rising mains, water treatment plants, clear water storage reservoirs and water transmission mains, clear water gravity feeder main network, and elevated level surface reservoirs and/or village overhead tanks at habitations; (2) development of supervisory control and data acquisition systems (SCADA) for water supply system management; (3) implementation support by Project Management Consultants (PMCs), and (4) operation and maintenance (O&M) for the initial 5 years upon the completion of the construction.
Component 2 - Community development and institutional strengthening: (1) support to community participation and engagement in the project and village water supply distribution O&M; (2) assessment of the baseline water distribution and household connection situation in the project districts; (3) technical assistance in developing institutional capacity for bulk water supply O&M and cost recovery, and piloting the study result in the project districts; and (4) support in monitoring and evaluation (M&E) of the project activities, outputs and outcomes.
Component 3 - State-wide sector development support: (1) technical assistance to develop a roadmap for the rural water supply and sanitation (WSS) sector development, focusing on studying and identifying innovative Public-Private Partnership (PPP) models in WSS development and O&M; (2) piloting the result of the study from the technical assistance in the project districts.
