Shushilan's Development Intervention

Shushilan's Development Intervention

Uniqueness in contextUniqueness in context• Coastal area• Very adjacent to Sundarbans & Bay of Bengal• Highly saline prone area• Disaster prone area• Extreme poverty

Introduction/Problem:Introduction/Problem:• Safe drinking water scarcity• High salinity in both surface and ground water• Existing fresh water sources are also saline

contaminated due to gradual expansion of shrimp farming

• Lack of low cost, affordable and sustainable water options

• The main water facilities are RWHS, Pond Sand Filter (PSF) or Tube wells (TW), but most of TWs are becoming saline

• There are some reverse osmosis system / solar distillation have been explored but due to highly expensive, low flow rates etc have been believed unacceptable for use

Introduction/Problem:Introduction/Problem:

• As experienced, in many cases, main option PSFs become out of order due to pond water contamination for intensive fish culture and lack of proper operation & maintenance

• Frequent disaster• Around 40% people have access to safe drinking water• People are being forced to drink which are unpalatable

& unsafe or they have to travel several kilometers to collect

• Diarrheal diseases are common, & a main cause of infant mortality

• Increased women & adolescent girls harassment and torture

Constraints/Limitations/Challenges Faced:Constraints/Limitations/Challenges Faced: • Some of the areas have no Safe drinking

water sources, neither on the surface, nor in the underground.

• High salinity, Arsenic & iron in water• Very limited low cost, affordable &

sustainable safe drinking water and sanitation option

• Limited resources• Frequent disaster

• Increasing trend of shrimp Gher resulting different safe drinking water sources become saline

• Occupational displacement due to shrimp farming resulting seasonal migration

• Worst/most terrible situation of road communication

• Very conservative area resulting less women participation in different sessions and others activities.

Constraints/Limitations/Challenges Faced:Constraints/Limitations/Challenges Faced:

• Worked with ArupWater, Australia to find out location specific, low cost, affordable & sustainable water options for saline area

• Need adequate test boring to find out fresh water aquifer as some areas have no Safe drinking water sources

• Build up civil society Network for proper advocacy at different level

• Conduct different piloting• Adequate research to find out low cost, affordable &

sustainable safe water and sanitation options

Steps have been / to be taken situation:Steps have been / to be taken situation:

Steps have been / to be taken:Steps have been / to be taken:

• Special allocation to provide safe drinking water options in costal areas

• Considering frequent disaster water & sanitation options need to be redesigned

• Need adequate test boring to find out fresh water aquifer

• Disaster focus community mobilization & hygiene promotion

• Preparation for disaster response & rehabilitation• Strengthening advocacy initiatives at grass roots and

policy level to ensure access of safe drinking water
