Background
There are three main types of microorganisms that can be found in drinking water: bacteria, viruses, and protozoa. These can exist naturally or can occur as a result of contamination from human or animal waste. Some of these are capable of causing illness in humans. Surface water sources, such as lakes, rivers, and reservoirs, are more likely to contain microorganisms than groundwater sources, unless the groundwater sources are under the direct influence of surface water. The main goal of drinking water treatment is to remove or kill these organisms to reduce the risk of illness. Although it is impossible to completely eliminate the risk of waterborne disease, adopting a multi-barrier, source-to-tap approach to safe drinking water will reduce the numbers of microorganisms in drinking water. This approach includes the protection of source water (where possible), the use of appropriate and effective treatment methods, well-maintained distribution systems, and routine verification of drinking water safety. All drinking water supplies should be disinfected, unless specifically exempted by the responsible authority. In addition, surface water sources and groundwater sources under the direct influence of surface water should be filtered. Drinking water taken from pristine surface water sources may be exempt from the filtration requirements. The performance of the drinking water filtration system is usually assessed by monitoring the levels of turbidity, a measure of the relative clarity of water. Turbidity is caused by matter such as clay, silt, fine organic and inorganic matter, plankton, and other microscopic organisms, which is suspended within the water. Suspended matter can protect pathogenic microorganisms from chemical and ultraviolet (UV) light disinfection. Soramarith secondary school in Kampong Chhnang Province is the site of the first East Meets West Clean Water and Sanitation Project in Cambodia. Located 90 kilometers east of Phnom Penh, with a population of just under 600,000 people, Kampong Chhnang is one of the poorest provinces. When this project is completed: 4,580 people will be provided with sustainable safe drinking water and sanitation benefits (4,440 students and 180 teachers at the school).
The first step in the implementation phase was building support within the community and local government in order to ensure successful installment and sustainability of the water and sanitation project. EMW has gained full support from both the Provincial Education Department and Soramarith secondary school. The school director has committed himself to maintain the water and sanitation system in the school after the handover from EMW. During the month of February open bidding was held for the installation of the water and sanitation system. Work contracts were signed between EMW and two companies – one for general construction and one for solar. Hout Chhoeun Construction Company (HCHH) will be responsible for the general construction, water testing, delivery and installation of water system and provide maintenance for the first year while KAMWORKS will deliver and install the solar panel for UV system. HCHH began their work on the water system on February 26th, 2011 and KAMWORKS will deliver and install the solar component on March 10th, 2011. The safe drinking water system is expected to be operational the third week of March, providing water and sanitation to all students and teachers at Soramarith secondary school. Immediately following completion, EMW, will conduct a series of awareness activities in the school in order to help the beneficiaries understand how to access and sustain the full benefits of clean water and sanitation. With the support of the school Director, the Water School Committee will train the staff in the operation and maintenance of the water filtration unit in the school on a day-by-day basis. Teachers and students will then help to maintain the water system in the school – a very important way to control the quality of the water supply in the school. The entire project including the water and sanitation system, awareness activities, and sustainability training is expected to be complete on March 31st, 2011 and EMW Cambodia will conduct regular monitoring of the project and its outcomes.

Introduction
Ensuring the safe drinking water in school is one of the most fundamental, and most critical, responsibilities of modern public health. In fact, safe drinking water has been a key ingredient in some of the greatest public health achievements of the last half-century, including the dramatic reduction in disease and increased longevity that we now tend to take for granted. Along with other basic public health measures like immunization, drinking water protection has played a crucial role in building a safer and healthier society. We need to remain vigilant if we are to protect those past gains. The Soramarith secondary school is strongly committed to safeguarding the quality of our safe drinking water, and as part of that commitment, we routinely monitor all of our safe drinking water supply systems in school for a broad range of chemical, radiological, and biological contaminants. EMW in Cambodia believes that educating of water quality issues is an important element of drinking water protection. Since 2010, we have been releasing plan to develop the project proposal for safe drinking water in Soramarith secondary school. This project will be the first clean water project to be implemented in Cambodia by EMW, which has successfully completed 100%. The goal of the project is to provide access to safe drinking water at the school site in order to decrease the incidence of water-borne diseases. Improved access to, and use of, safe water at school will improve students’ lives considerably clean and safe drinking water helps prevent illness and loss of life and leads to better health and improved economic and education opportunities. EMW provides a long-term solution by bringing sustainable safe drinking water sources to Soramarith secondary school. Water for Schools seeks to provide better opportunities for children in Cambodia by supporting and improving School Water Supply and promoting education on the benefits of clean water and good hygiene practices. These activities are critical to the wellbeing and functioning of all schoolchildren. The main body of the report provides information about safe drinking water supply systems in school that is, systems that provide to teacher and student’s with safe drinking water in their places of residence. We hope this information will provide to donor with a clearer picture of what is being done to protect the quality of their safe drinking water, and what our monitoring efforts have revealed about the success of those efforts. We believe that the picture is a positive one, and we hope this report will build student’s and teach in Soramarith secondary school have confidence in both the safety and the quality of their safe drinking water.

II. Filter and UV system
The most sustainable solution is to install a safe drinking water system at the location of the existing Soramarith secondary school reserve 5000L tank, making it easy to feed the filtered water into the school’s existing piping. A water tower already constructed on the existing reserve tank, and a new 5000 liter of water tank will be mounted on top. A small water pump will be installed to pump the water to this header tank. For this water system set up 3 different filters and connected to UV system before delivered to drinking places. Ultraviolet (UV) Light Systems disinfect school water using a UV light source enclosed in a transparent protective sleeve. The water passes through a flow chamber, and UV rays are absorbed into the water. UV Light Systems disinfects water without adding chemicals; it does not create new chemical complexes, nor change the taste or dour of school water. Ultraviolet light is a natural, cost effective, environmentally friendly disinfection process for use in school where healthy water is a concern.
2.1 Core Principles UV system in Soramarith secondary school: • Safe drinking water is essential for good health • Disinfection at the point-of-use level can be Secondaryly effective; • Affordable and user-friendly technology; • Adaptable design to fit different cultures and environments; • Culturally sensitive implementation method; • Use of local resources (material, labor, and implementation support) • Rigorous testing of system performance • Culture and knowledge exchange

IV. The Solar panels for water pump
The solar panels convert sunlight into electricity. The panel used in this system is 12 volt, 80 watts peak. Watts peak means the power output under laboratory conditions is 80 watt. In practice, the panels will approximately supply this power at full sun at noon. The panels are connected in series so the system voltage is 36V. The total power of the solar panels is 240Wp.
4.1 The Lorentz PS200-HR04 pump The lorentz PS200-HR4 pump is a positive displacement pump with a helical rotor design. This means every turn of the pump will push up water, so even in low sun conditions when the pump is running slow water will be pumped up.
4.2 Starting the pump Be sure there is not a closed valve or other obstruction in the water line. Switch on the power switch on the controller. It is normal to leave the switch on at all times, unless you desire to have the system off. A solar-direct pump should start under the following conditions:
1. Clear sunshine at an angle of about 20° or more from the surface of the solar array. 2. Cloudy conditions, if the sunshine is bright enough to cast some shadow 3. Low-water probe submersed in the water source Water-Low light OFF 4. Full-tank float switch is not responding to a full tank – Tank-Full light OFF
When sunshine on the array is present, but too weak for the pump to run, it will attempt to start about every 90 seconds. During each attempt, you will see the PUMP ON light come on. When pump runs slowly (PUMP ON) under weak sun conditions the pump uses a helical rotor (positive displacement) pump end. If the pump is turning, even slowly, water will be delivered at a slow rate. When pump stops from a sudden shadow on the solar array or if a shadow suddenly passes over the array, like if you walk in front of it, the controller will lose track of the input voltage. It may make rapid on/off noises and a Secondary-pitched noise, then stop. This does NOT indicate a problem. The pump will attempt to restart after the normal delay.
4.3 Time delays 1. After pump stops due to insufficient sunshine – 120 SECONDS 2. After full-tank float switch resets – 2 to 3 SECONDS 3. After low-water probe regains contact with water in the source – 20 MINUTES but the
indicator light will slowly falsh for the rest of the solar day, or until power is disrupted or the controller is turned off/on.
To force a quick start / to test or observe the system, you can bypass the normal time delays. Switch the POWER switch off then on again. The pump should start immediately if sufficient power is present. A slight vibration is normal when the pump is running.
4.4 Pump overload (PUMP ON light shows red instead of green) The system has shut off due to an overload. This can happen if the motor or pump is blocked or very difficult to turn and is drawing excessive current (hard to turn). Overload detection requires at least 240 Watt output of the solar array. This can be caused by a Secondary concentration of solids in the pump, Secondary water temperature, excessive pressure due to Secondary lift or a restriction in the pipe, or a combination of these factors. The controller will make 3 start attempts before shutting down the system. The System ON LED will be OFF and the red OVERLOAD LED ON. The system will not reset until the ON / OFF switch is turned OFF and ON again. See Troubleshooting, Section
9
V. Maintenance.
5.1 Solar panels The solar panels need to be clean at all times. A dirty panel will produce less electricity. It is also very important there are no leaves or bird excrement’s on the panels. This generates “cold spots”. If just one cell of the panel is covered the power output of the whole system will drop considerably! The panels can be cleaned with water and if needed a little soap. Do not wipe the panels with a cloth until you are absolutely sure there is no sand on the panel or cloth. Scratching of the glass must be prevented.
5.2 Solar pump The controller is electronic with no moving or wearing parts. It requires no maintenance. There are rubber gasket seals at the top and bottom, and rubber plugs to seal unused conduit holes. Inspect them to insure that the controller is sealed from moisture, insects, etc. The motor is water-lubricated and requires no maintenance. It is permanently sealed and has no brushes or other frequently wearing parts. Pump end the pump mechanism is lubricated only by water and requires no maintenance. It may wear after some years, especially if there are abrasive solids in the water. If sand accumulates in the storage tank or pipes as a result of normal pumping, it is best to take periodic measurement of the pump’s performance, if the flow rate is less than normal. A worn pump end can be replaced in the field, after the pump is pulled from the water source.
VI. TROUBLESHOOTING
6.1 If the Pump Doesn’t Run Most problems are caused by failed connections, especially where a wire is not secure and falls out of a terminal. The System ON light will indicate that system is switched on and connected to the controller. It indicates that VOLTAGE is present there may not be sufficient power to start the pump. It should attempt to start at intervals of 120 seconds. Pump attempts to start every 120 seconds but doesn’t run. The controller make a slight noise as it tries to start the pump. The pump will start to turn or just vibrate a little.
1. There may be insufficient power reaching the controller. A solar-direct system should start if there is enough sun to cast a slight shadow.
2. If the pump was recently connected (or reconnected) to the controller, it may be running in reverse direction due to wiring error.
3. If the motor shaft only vibrates and will not turn, it may be getting power on only two of the three motor wires. This will happen if there is a broken connection or if you accidentally exchanged one of the power wires with the ground wire.
4. The pump or pipe may be packed with mud, clay, sand or debris. 5. The rubber stator may be expanded from heat, due to sun exposure or pumping water that
is warmer than 22°C. This may stop the pump temporarily, but will not cause damage. 6. The pump may have run dry. Remove the pump stator (outer body) from the motor, to
reveal the rotor. If there is some rubber stuck to the rotor, the pump end must be replaced.
10
7. The check valve on the pump may be faulty or stuck, allowing downward leakage when the pump is off. This can prevent the pump from starting.
6.2 Pump overloads (PUMP ON light shows red instead of green) The system has shut off due to an overload. This can happen if the motor or pump is blocked or very difficult to turn and is drawing excessive current (hard to turn). Overload detection requires at least 240 Watt output of the solar array. This can be caused by a Secondary concentration of solids in the pump, Secondary water temperature, excessive pressure due to Secondary lift or a restriction in the pipe, or a combination of these factors. The controller will make 3 start attempts before shutting down the system. The system ON LED will be OFF and the red OVERLOAD LED ON. The system will not reset until the ON / OFF switch is turned OFF and ON again.

VIII. Overall Conclusions and Recommendations
8.1 Conclusions This project is very satisfying project that is the first project in Cambodia. Namely, there is never seen any IOs/NGOs organization in Cambodia implementing this program. Therefore, EMWF is the first organization who implementing this safe drinking water in Cambodia and as result the students and teachers were really happy and feel confident with this safe drinking water system. Mr. Kit Minearith, Secondary School Director, he is very happy and reported to the provincial education department to involve with this project during project hand over to school. The commitment from school director he really appreciated the sate drinking water result in this project. The EMW safe drinking water in school program has been successful in providing improved quality of water in Soramarith secondary school. The student and teacher no need to buy water from private seller after the project is completely access. Safe drinking water systems are expected to be completed by the end of March 31st, 2011. The field visits, meeting with beneficiary for Soramarith secondary school and results of Survey, show that there was a generally high level of beneficiary satisfaction with the water schemes developed under the EMW water program in Cambodia. Using a participatory and school based approach, with frequent consultation with local authorities, EMW staffs have been largely successful in providing reasonably good quality safe drinking water to project beneficiaries. Monitoring second test results on March 28th, 2011 tend to reinforce the conclusions of previous water test analysis at the beginning test. Although we need to strengthen, school committee can continue to have confidence in their safe drinking water system. Below is the key point for school water committee responsibility after project hand over.
• Water quality control • Maintenance water system • Water analysis ( water test) • Establish network group • School Awareness about water and sanitation
EMW conducted school committed to protecting the secondary quality of school drinking water. The safety of drinking water taken by school steering committee can be assured that their local water supply system is making every effort to ensure that their water is safe. And they can also be assured that the result from water analysis is clear information. The threat of harmful contaminants in drinking water can no longer be reasonably ignored. The correlation between contaminated drinking water and many significant diseases and health problems is far too strong to discount. Effective treatment including disinfection should yield water free of any coliform organisms, no matter how polluted the source water may have been. The presence of any type of coliform organism in treated water leaving a plant therefore suggests inadequate treatment and disinfection and is unacceptable. If the water leaving a treatment plant has tested negative for total coliforms but total coliforms are present in the distribution system, this suggests re-growth or infiltration into the system. Although the presence of total coliforms is not a reliable indicator of the presence of faucal contamination, the cause of their presence should be investigated and further action taken if necessary. In a distribution system, public health decisions should not be based solely on the presence of total coliforms, in the absence of E. coli, unless the investigation indicates a problem that results in a threat to public health.

8.2 Recommendations Through, Mr. Nov Sophay, Deputy Director of Provincial Education, Youth and Sports expressing his happiness and acknowledge EMW that donated and supported SORAMITH SECONDARY SCHOOL in providing the safe drinking water system for students and teachers to access good and pure water for daily consumption. Based his observation on using this water he found that it is very important and so useful for poverty reduction and reduce water born-disease through this safe drinking water from UV system. He requested that EMW should extend more safe drinking water system in nationwide of Cambodia. It is strongly recommended that in order to reduce water born disease for health benefits the program should extend water program more areas. There is a tremendous need for improved water and sanitation services in Cambodia. It is strongly recommended that EMW management and its major donors consider significantly expanding the water supply and the proposed hygiene and sanitation behavioral change program.

CONSULTANCY SERVICE TO CONDUCT A STUDY ON:
Safe Drinking Water 1. Introduction` The East Meets West Foundation (EMW) began working in Cambodia in early 2009, after completing the required paperwork and registering with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation. EMW is a nongovernmental international development organization with over 22 years experience in Vietnam developing and implementing programs in health, education and clean water, as well as large infrastructure projects. EMW working directly with the Ministry of Health, the National Pediatric Hospital, Khmer‐Soviet Federation Hospital, the National Maternal and Child Health Center in Phnom Penh and Referral Hospitals in Kampong Cham, Takeo, Kampong Chhnang, Battambang, Banteay Meanchey, Kampong Tom, Prey Veng, Kandal, Kampong Speu and Sihanouk provinces in Cambodia. EMW’s has the clean water and sanitation program have been building piped community water systems in rural areas of central Vietnam for over ten years. The aim is to enhance the quality of life for people in these areas by increasing access to clean water and improving hygienic and sanitary conditions. Clean water directly piped to people’s homes improves the users’ health conditions, reduces child mortality, and relieves the beneficiaries of the heavy burden of obtaining water from distant or poor quality sources, to enhance the benefits of the water systems and ensure sustainability. EMW constructed SAFE DRINKING WATER SYSTEM, in Soramaridh Secondary School, Sre Pring, Kampong Town, Kampong Chhnang Province, to enhance the quality of high school students and teachers’ life which they can access to safe drinking water directly at their school through UV system. This project was successfully benefited to 5,000 students and teachers are receiving safe drinking water. 2. Objectives of the study The overall objective of the study is: to assess the student’s knowledge on communicable diseases due to using of unsafe drinking water and other health problems face related water use, attractiveness of students and teachers with UV system for safe drinking water. 3.
