IV POTENTIAL IMPACTS AND MITIGATION MEASURES

41 Summary of the Subproject Impact

Positive Implementation ofthe subproject will serve 1257 households including 6885 people At present this area does not have any water supply service Therefore inhabitants do not have access to clean water

Implementation- of the subproject will increase the number of rural population served l1li

bullby clean water and improve the living condition of local residents as well as reduce the risk for exposing to water born diseases (such as eye diseases diarrhea petechial fever)

bullNegative The potential negative impacts will be minor since the proposed treatment plant is located in the existing residential area and land acquisition will not be required The water treatment plant will be small and locations of the wells are identified Impacts during construction will be limited to increasing dust noise and traffic at the subproject site due to transportation of construction materials which will be small amount The increase in wastewater is not considered to be substantial and would be bullmitigated adequately through household level sanitation Below summarizes the impacts and proposed mitigations shy

IV POTENTIAL IMPACTS AND MITIGATION MEASURES

41 Summary of the Subproject Impact

Positive Implementation ofthe subproject will serve 1257 households including 6885 people At present this area does not have any water supply service Therefore inhabitants do not have access to clean water

Implementation- of the subproject will increase the number of rural population served l1li

bullby clean water and improve the living condition of local residents as well as reduce the risk for exposing to water born diseases (such as eye diseases diarrhea petechial fever)

bullNegative The potential negative impacts will be minor since the proposed treatment plant is located in the existing residential area and land acquisition will not be required The water treatment plant will be small and locations of the wells are identified Impacts during construction will be limited to increasing dust noise and traffic at the subproject site due to transportation of construction materials which will be small amount The increase in wastewater is not considered to be substantial and would be bullmitigated adequately through household level sanitation Below summarizes the impacts and proposed mitigations shy

IV POTENTIAL IMPACTS AND MITIGATION MEASURES

41 Summary of the Subproject Impact

Positive Implementation ofthe subproject will serve 1257 households including 6885 people At present this area does not have any water supply service Therefore inhabitants do not have access to clean water

Implementation- of the subproject will increase the number of rural population served l1li

bullby clean water and improve the living condition of local residents as well as reduce the risk for exposing to water born diseases (such as eye diseases diarrhea petechial fever)

bullNegative The potential negative impacts will be minor since the proposed treatment plant is located in the existing residential area and land acquisition will not be required The water treatment plant will be small and locations of the wells are identified Impacts during construction will be limited to increasing dust noise and traffic at the subproject site due to transportation of construction materials which will be small amount The increase in wastewater is not considered to be substantial and would be bullmitigated adequately through household level sanitation Below summarizes the impacts and proposed mitigations shy
