Water - Quality

Iron affected habitations spread is across all the blocks. Need of study for limited success of Iron Removal Plant Possibility of alternative of roof top water harvesting

Quality:

Consumption of water with excess iron causes constipation accompanied by other physiological disorders.

Control measures include providing:Alternate sources free from iron oror treating iron contaminated water

Permissible Limit: < 1 ppm

Utilization under ARWSP

Utilisation - ARWSP

Missed an opportunity to utilize available 192 lakhs in last 3 years

Key Concerns

1. Ensuring adequate water for each household on sustainable basis Source sustainability in consultation with other department

2. Quality affected habitation gets an alternative water supply system (1- Iron Removal Plant, / 2- Spot source/ PWSS/ 3-Gravel tube well) Document & use of previous learning in dealing with excess iron affected regions Piloting water harvesting as an alternative

3. Grater community involvement in plan, implementation & O&M Documentation of the beast practices/ failures (if any) Facilitation to the Panchayat/ community in O & M (tariff collection, soak pits etc.) Mechanism of community feedback/ response on adequacy of water Panchayat’s involvement in effective quality test/ action

4. Updated coverage of institutions for water supply (schools, Panchayat, religious place, local haats etc.)

2- Sanitation

CHHATTISGARH MDG : 7

Proportion of population with access to improved sanitation

2- Schemes for sanitation :

1. Total Sanitation Camaign2. Support for the APL from the PR & RD3. SSHE – School, Aaganwadi

District has received 7 Nirmal Gram Panchayat Awards so far

What TSC aims at

Improved sanitation behaviours and quality of life

Access and use of toilets to all by 2012.

Coverage of schools by March 2008

Coverage of Anganwadis by March 2009

Community managed environmental sanitation

system

Household Coverage - District

A gap of 74,132 household toilet is to be covered by 2012. Need of a rapid study for the toilet use rate Strong IEC initiatives to generate demands

Each school is to covered with the toilet facility Latest update of the school coverage is required.

School Coverage - District

Aaganwadi Toilet Coverage - District

Each AWC is to be covered with the toilet facility Latest update of the AWC is still required.

Fund Utilization

Huge variation in utilization pattern (over the years). Opportunity of utilizing 2.9 crores misses in 2008-09

Component wise – Expenditure pattern

Issues of concerns (Recap)

1-Strong IEC to generate demand (even after subsidy demand is low)

2- Study of the use pattern of the existing toilets

3- Strengthening the supply chain mechanism

4- Ensuring trained mason’s availability

5- Status update of toilet coverage in:

Schools(PS, UPS, HS, Higher Sec.)/ anganwadi

Panchayat/village-wise, household coverage

Public place (Panchayat Bhawan’s etc)

6- Motivation for bathroom (personal hygiene of women)

7- Identifying issues of coordiantion with other dept.
