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 scheme
Intake- 4 nos
Transmission Pipe line4 km
Distribution Pipeline20 km
Storage 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
