Gajendra Kumar Thakur

CONCEPT

• A management tool to achieve health based target of water supply schemes

WSP Model : Ten Steps• Team formation• System assessment• Hazard analysis• Control measures• Monitoring plan• Urgent corrective action• Validation of control• Verification system • Assessments of user's satisfaction• Documentation

Approaches for scaling up WSP

• Project wide Water Safety Plan• Community wide Water Safety Plan

Implementation of WSP : case in rural water supply scheme

• Jante Water Supply Scheme, Morang

Jante Water Supply schemeIntake- 4 nosTransmission Pipe line- 4 kmDistribution Pipeline- 20 kmStorage tanks – 3 nos ( each 100 cum capacity)Taps- 23 nos ( public tap stand)Private taps-500 nos

intake

Intake- 4 nos

Storage tanks – 3 nos ( each 100 cum capacity)

Result of WSP implementation

• Reduced concentration of E-Coli in water sample in the source( intake) ( from 100 to 10 cfu/100 ml)• The WSP team is eager to take measures

to make water E-coli free at intake sites• Chlorine is being used to make water

safe to drink

Challenges in WSP implementation

• Making WSP and integral part of project cycle for water supply project of various scale and settings

conclusion

• WSP model for urban and rural setting is being developed• Project wide and community wide

WSP implementation approach help to integrate WSP into the larger numbers of water supply projects
