2.3. Community Based Safe Water Supply and Arsenic Mitigation Action Research Project

Under UNICEF-DPHE Action Research Community Based Arsenic Mitigation Project different arsenic free water options were constructed at Sadar Upazila of Manikganj. The Organic and Inorganic type of options were considered in the R & D project. The inorganic option SIDKO Plant and as organic option Deep Tube well, RWH, IARP, Canada- Bangladesh Filter etc. were installed and regularly monitored the quality of water. It revealed from time to time evaluation by UNICE - BUET that IARP is more active to minimize As, Fe, and Mn than the other option. In order to sustain the project activities emphases was given on the community efforts. The project was continued from the year 2001 with the financial assistance of UNICEF. The project Upazilas were Homna of Comilla, Bancharampur of Brahmanbaria and Damurhuda of Chuadanga, Bashail of Tangail and Sadar of Manikganj. The prime objective of the project was ensuring safe water supply in the villages having 80% to 100% drinking TWs contaminated by arsenic through awareness creation and mobilizing community to own the project for its sustainability. ISDCM ensure community participation by fixing 20% project implementation cost for construction of the options by the beneficiaries.

An assessment of Arsenic, Iron and Manganese Removal (IARP) R & D Project at Manikganj Sadar:

Wide spread of arsenic contamination in the ground water in Bangladesh has become a great threat to human life in general. It is seen that both manganese and iron are often present together in natural ground water. Removal of iron is less difficult than removal of manganese which is almost impossible without using an oxidizing agent or increasing the pH. ISDCM has installed 35 Arsenic cum Iron removal plants in Manikganj Sadar Upazila. It may be mentioned here that Sadar Upazila has high concentration of Iron and Arsenic in the ground water. With the financial support of UNICEF, ISDCM has implemented Community-level iron cum Arsenic removal plant(IARP). There were few iron removal unit installed in Manikganj sadar during early 1980, but at the community level these unit did not enjoy wide public acceptance for long and performed poorly. But ISDCM revived few of its old and abandoned IARPs during implementation of Arsenic Mitigation project. It was observed that through field test kits water of the plants able to remove a good quantity of arsenic. The unique performance of those AIRPs jointly reviewed by UNICEF / DPHE and ISDCM.

These plants removed the presence of high concentration of iron and arsenic from water. And accordingly a project was formulated and on the basis of agreement 35 number of such plants (e.g., treatment units based on coagulation-absorption - co-precipitation) were installed by ISDCM with the financial assistance of UNICEF.

The design of the IARP was prepared by ISDCM. The IARPs were shallow tube well based removal plants and consists of an aeration chamber, one up-flow filter unit consisting of brick chips and local sand, and one down-flow sand filter. From tube well, water is pumped into the aeration chamber. From the bottom of the aeration chamber, water enters into the up-filter bed consisting of brick chips and sand. From this filter water enters a down-flow sand filter. Treated water is collected from a tap located at the bottom of this sand filter unit. To familiarize the option ISDCM taken up the matter with UNICEF and propose to assess its performance through an independent study group ands accordingly BUET was given the task. It was revealed from the study report that the AIRP option may be implemented in the area where ground water is contaminated by iron and arsenic. It is of course does not mitigate the arsenic fully but scale of contamination level come down in a considerable limit.

Iron-cum- Arsenic Removal Plant in Manikganj

To assess the situation a study group from Bureau of research Testing and consultation and Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET) were contacted and engaged by UNICEF. On September 2005 the study team visited two ISDCM plants in Sadar of Manikganj. ISDCM actively supported the BUET study team. During study a sanitary inspection was carried out at each AIRP location. The Plant ID # 17 serves about 40 to 50 families, with a total population approximately 250 to 300. The plant is cleaned once every 10 to 15 days. During cleaning all water is drained. Media in the two chambers are completely withdrawn and put on poly then sheets. The media is then washed, manually. The cleaning process is quite rigorous and takes 6 to 8 hours. The users expressed their happiness with the quality of water they are getting from the AIRP. It was seen during visit that water pumped from the tube well into the first aeration chamber looked soapy. This could be due to the presence of manganese, which often shown this characteristics soapy color. The media in the khoa sand in the chamber of the IARP looked brownish-black, while that in the sand filter chamber looked blackish brown. The plant # 2(ID # 18) serves about 15 to 20 families, with a total population of approximately 100 to 150. The plant is cleaned once every 15 to 20 days. Here also, the users were found to be quite happy with the quality of the treated water.

Table-5: Characteristics of raw and treated water

8	Arsenic	pai/I	144	45	65	17
9	Fecal Coliform	#/100ml	Nil	80	Nil	66

The results of above table shows the analysis of raw and treated water samples collected from the two plants are very effective in removing iron from ground water. Iron concentration in the raw waters for these plants varied from 3.77 mg/l to 10.99 mg/l. and for all two plants iron concentration in the treated water was below 0.02 mg/l. However, arsenic removal efficiencies of these two plants was about 70%.Though raw water did not have any Fecal Coli form, relatively high fecal coli form were detected in the treated water. This appears to be due to bacterial contamination of water within the filter media. This is assumed that higher arsenic concentration in raw water, these AIRPs may not be very effective. But these community AIRPs with two sand filter beds in series appear to be very effective in removing manganese from ground water. The plants which have found to be effective e in removing manganese have develop0ed dark coatings on the sand grains. These coatings are probably very effective in improving manganese removal efficiency.

2.3.1. Rural Safe Water Supply Project

For safe water option ISDCM has installed Dug Well, Rain Water Harvester, Bucket Filter, Canada Bangladesh Filter, Deep TWs, SIDKO plants, Hydropur and renovated Old Dug Wells in Homna, Bancharampur, Damurhuda and Manikganj Sadar. Before implementing the project the sustainability issue was carefully monitored. To keep functioning of each option a Operation and Maintenance Committee was formed at the beneficiaries level headed by Chairmen, Secretary and Cashier. For O & M monthly contributory system were established but it was not functioning at the expected level. A huge amount of money has been spent for the project and as such UNICEF-CPHE felt that a sustainability strategy should be designed and implemented to ensure safe water for the community for which a follow-up project was taken and implemented.

Dug Well in Homna of Comilla district

ISDCM has established a strong net work and co-ordination linkage at administrative and with the line departments for its sustainability. The Arsenic Mitigation Committees were formed for safe water supply and arsenic mitigation at Upazila, Union Ward and village levels. The network of actors and stakeholders created. The table 5, 6 and 7 presented below shows the basic facts of the project Upazila, status of arsenic contamination level in drinking tube wells and in irrigation tube wells.

It was found that in three projects Upazila 50% of the TWs were arsenic contaminated beyond acceptable level. The highest rate of contamination was found in Bancharampur Upazila (71%) and lowest rate shown in Bashail Upazila(10%). On the other hand it was found that 50 villages of Homna Upazila have no Green TW and in Bancharampur Upazila 21 villages have Green TWs. It also reveled that Bashail Upazila is less privileged of arsenic has been included in GOVT-UNICEF Community Based Arsenic Mitigation Project.

2.3.2. Post-flood Rehabilitation Project in Homna and Bancharampur Upazilas-2004

The flood occurred in the year 2004 at Homna and Bancharampur was a devastating one which sub-merged and washed away most of the water options like dug wells, shallow tube wells and rain water harvesting. This has created a long term affect on source of safe water supply. The most of the options were submerged under flood water, the wells were full of turbid water, wells were filled with deposition of alluvial soil, apron of surrounding of well damaged due to erosion of soil washed away, some of RCC rings of dug wells displaced and alienated. ISDCM submitted documentary evidence on the affect of the damage to UNICEF and DPHE and assess the extent of damage.

Post-flood (2004) field Visit revealed that in Homna 156 Dug Wells, in Bancharampur upazila 147 Dug Wells and 25 RWHH went under water during the flood June, 2004. All the above mentioned dug well and RWH were brought in to operational. The Caretakers took part in rehabilitating the SWOs through cost sharing. The caretakers were given training to meet such emergency situation.

2.3.3. Follow-up Project on Arsenic Mitigation Options to ensure its regular
Functioning:
The project follow-up action was undertaken for ensuring proper functioning of the options installed in Homna of Comilla, Manikganj Sadar, and Damorhuda of Chuadanga district are in operation. The options considered which implemented during 2001 to 2004. The arsenic mitigation option were dug well, rain water harvesting, hydropur the water treatment plant, SIDKO water treatment plant and Canada Bangladesh Filter. The rural people are traditionally accustomed with using ground water. The options installed over the years for which the options needed repairing and reconstruction due to lack of poor maintenance. In this project UNICEF and DPHE spent a huge amount of money for ensuring arsenic free water in the communities.

Maintenance and reconstruction of the following existing SWOs have been done for smooth functioning of the options.

Table - 12

Sl. #	Name of Upazilas	Type of Options	Number of Options
01	Manikganj Sadar of Manikganj district	DTW (Deep Tube Well)	29

During implementation of the project necessary measures were taken for sustainability of the project. Local management committee for operation and maintenance of the option was formed and training provided but like every other project sustainability could not be ensured fully. It seemed that sustainability may not be possible without institutional awareness within the community. After phase out of the project DPHE and UNICEF tried to know the field situation based on which the follow up project was undertaken with the objectives hereunder:

Develop effective management system for Operational and Maintenance of the options;
Keep options running;
Piloting Water safety plan;
Monitoring water quality through lab test; and
Ownership creation among beneficiaries of their option

There were activities in the follow-up project accomplished which are as follows:

Software;
Reconstruction and repairing of different options;
Water analysis to determine the level of minerals in the water through laboratory test;
Briefing meeting;
Review meeting;
Meeting of different committees like ward arsenic committee, union arsenic committee; and
Installation of 10 Deep TWs in Homna Upazila of Comilla district.

2.3.4. Environmental Sanitation, Hygiene and Water Supply to Rural Area (ESHWRA) Project:

EHWRA project was part of the Follow-up project which has completed under the reporting period. The objective of this part of the project was to know the extent of sanitary latrine use and awareness creation. The local youths were engaged as volunteers to educate the people about the importance of safe sanitation and health hygiene. The volunteers were taken one from each village and who visited door to door house. ISDCM organized union level briefing meeting which participated by local elites and mass people. A questionnaire was designed by DPHE and ISDCM for survey.

Under the planned activities environmental sanitation, Hygiene and safe water supply in the Rural Areas (ESHWRA) have given emphasis to create awareness through briefing UZ AMC meetings, Mass meetings, review meetings and meeting of stakeholders mobilizing community.

2.3.5 Piloting Water Safety Plan:

The implementation of Water Safety plan under Follow-up Project ISDCM under took certain motivational measures in the community of 3 Upazila and targeted 20 Dug Wells of Homna, 8 Dug-Wells and 8 RWHHs of Damurhuda Upazila and 8 Deep TWs of Manikganj for regular monitoring. It was aimed to look into 10 risk factors which might cause water infection by bacteria. ISDCM Field workers periodically visited and motivated the community to maintain their Water Point functioning and keep it safe from bacteria contamination. The findings were reviewed by ISDCM and submitted to DPHE for action and follow-up. The following risk factors were monitored:

Is latrine within 10 meters of dug wells?
Is there any other source of pollution / contamination of water within 10 meters of water source?
Is there a ditch on pond within 10 meters of the water sources?
Is drainage faulty allowing ponding within 2 meters of water sources?
Is drainage channel cracked, broken or in need of cleaning?
Is platform less than 5’x5’?
Is platform under cut by erosion?
Is hand-pump loose at the point of attachment?
Is trunk loose at the point of attachment?

3.1. Flood Emergency Response (FERP) Project:

Natural calamity especially flood in Bangladesh is regular phenomena. Re-visit of flood is so short and to surmount its occurrence by the affected people usually become out of their means. The objective of the project was involved the community to make them prepare in the pre-flood situation and post flood. None can escape irrespective of cast or creed either rich or poor men and women, young and children. To overcome the problem project was designed to orient community to face how to address water and sanitation situation during flood. Community mobilization to participate in the community based flood preparedness activities was undertaken by Department of Public Health Engineering. The govt. has taken flood emergency project to combat such situation with the financial help of UNICEF. NGOs were engaged in implementation of the project. ISDCM lead agency was selected as one of the potential NGO. The Project area was distributed by DPHE/UNICEF on the basis of geographical location where flood hit every year. One of the important part of the project was increase sanitation coverage by installing Community Latrines and implemented satisfactorily.

ISDCM awarded 30 Upazilas in 5 districts and implemented the project hiring 10 local based NGOs on partnership. The following NGOs were engaged:

OSP, SEED, Manikganj

MKSS, Gaibandha

SBSKS, Netrokona

DHARA, Jessore

RDC, USA and Paradise,Jhenaidha

YISEA, Saturia, Manikganj

ISDCM organized one day briefing of NGO representatives and training for the coordinators and Motivators. Before launching the project as lead NGO ISDCM organized planning meeting with the participation of Executive Engineers, DPHE, Sub-Divisional Engineers and Sub-Assistant Engineers, DPHE. The major activities were briefing meeting of Primary school students, courtyard meeting and distribution of motivational leaflets. In each Upazila 100 school level meeting and 100 courtyard meetings were organized. The average attendance of school level meetings was 100 students and in the courtyard meeting of 27 villagers. Beside that 600,000 leaflets were distributed. This has helped people to be aware about their role during flood and after flood. ISDCM has constructed the following number of community latrines in the respective project areas. The site of community latrines were selected by ISDCM Field workers with the help of local DPHE authority. It is known that sanitation coverage in the rural areas are poor but under the flood emergency project community has been mobilized and motivated people to use community latrines. The following community latrines have been installed in Gaibandha, Jessore, Jhenaidha and Netrakona districts.

Ujirpur Village Piped Water Supply System (PWSS) Damurhuda Upazila, Chuadanga

The Village Water supply through pipeline in the rural areas has been completed by ISDCM under technical support of DPHE and financial assistance of UNICEF. The project was initially designed by ISDCM and approved by DPHE. The supply of water through pipe line in the rural areas has been implemented in very few villages of Bangladesh through donor’s assistance. The project village Ujirpur was selected by ISDCM and approved by DPHE as an appropriate and ideal for piped water supply. This was an experimental DPHE pilot project. The expansion of this project depends on its merit and government policy and cost effective.

Implementation Strategy

The Ujirpur village Rural Pipe line Water Supply Operation and Maintenance Committee (VWSOMC) was involved in the implementation process of the project.

As a part of the involvement joint bank was account opened in the name of ‘Ujirpur Safe Water Supply Samity’. The account was operated by President and the Secretary of the Samity. All the bills and charges collected from the beneficiaries and deposited in the account. The bank operation is done to meet the O&M cost. The Ujirpur Safe Water Supply Samity has donated 3 decimal land costing Tk.300,000 for the construction of PWSS complex. This was an expensive project and the people of Ujirpur village agreed to pay @ Tk.100 by each family as contribution money. BADC irrigation deep tube well was used for supply of water for irrigation purposes and an agreement was made with the BADC irrigation TW consumer committee to use the tube well for drinking purposes.

of Damurhuda Upazila

2. From the underground reservoir the water is pumped into the tower at a height of 20’-0” by 2 HP motor for free flow of water through perforated pipes. It takes 60 to 75 minutes to filled up with 20,000 liters capacity water tank from under ground reservoir.

3. For removal of iron raw water enter into filter bed. There are two filter beds. The surface area of each filter bed is 200 sq ft. It can filter 15 gallons of water per sq. ft. per hour. Two filter beds can be used at a time.

4. Water pumped by a 3 HP capacity motor for supply to 34 community water tanks of each 500 liters capacity. It takes approximately 30-40 minutes to fill 34 community tanks. Presently, the pump runs twice, once in morning and again in the evening. The beneficiaries collect water from these 34 points. Each tank provides water for 15-20 families.

Total area coverage of the project

a) Total pipeline network is 12,913 ft. about 4 kilometers;
b) Mollah Para, School Para, Khalifa Para, Digh Para, Mondal Para, Kash Para & Mall Para;
c) 7 Paras out of 9 of Ujirpur village; and
d) 590 affected families consisting of 2,812 members

Institutional Management in Arsenic Mitigation project

The arsenic mitigation project is a govt. project funded by UNICEF. The project is new of this kind because people have never experienced mineral like arsenic in the tube wells of the rural areas. Since arsenic is great threat to the human body the government attached high priority to mitigate this problem and formed committees up to lowest body of the peoples representative to address the issue. ISDCM with the help of line department an institutional net work was formed with different agencies. DPHE Sub-Assistant Engineer extended full support and constant monitoring and supervision i>n implementation of the project. UNICEF provided financial resources, technical support, organized monthly progress review meeting to strengthen link between DPHE, NGO and UNICEF. Upazila Arsenic Mitigation Committee organized monthly arsenic mitigation review meeting and reviewed the progress and provided necessary inputs. Union/ward arsenic mitigation committees were supported in site selection process of different options and social awareness. In post-implementation period of the Arsenic Mitigation Project the strength weakness and opportunities were identified. These issues were shared with DPHE for efficient implementation of the project in future.

The ISDCM carried out awareness creation activities in Homna, Bancharampur and Damurhuda to increase of attendance of children to schools and reduction of drop out rate.

2.6. Village Sanitation Programme

The people of Singra and Homna Upazilas grow up with water all around them in monsoon period and it plays major part in the social and economic life. During flood drinking and sanitation facilities go beyond control and drinking water become contaminated. Fecal pollution of water sources and the home environment is the source of diarrhea and worm infestation that aggravates endemic malnutrition.

The poor percentage of population uses hygienic latrine in Singra, Homna Upazilas and similarly in Bagatipara , The level of awareness on water sanitation and hygiene are connected with health is very low. ISDCM has its small scale Sanitation Program in 3 villages like Pakuria, Teligram and Chowgram of Singra Upazila. Primarily the project was taken in partnership with NGO Forum. The NGO Forum supported ISDCM with materials like tools and plants. The fund for cost of raw materials was born by the ISDCM. After phase out the support of NGO forum ISDCM continued the program with its own fund. The awareness building through motivational activities was done by the ISDCM community organizers. Under this programme all 3 villages have been covered and completed 21% population of the villages by WS latrine sanitary latrines. Along with motivation on sanitation motivational activities on health hygiene, cleanliness were carried out. The most widespread technology for sanitary latrines is the single pit water seal latrine and appropriate technology is the simple pit made entirely from local materials has become most popular.

2.7. Creation of awareness on Health & Nutrition

ISDCM with its efficient Field Workers carried out various social mobilization activities on Health, Nutrition, Education and Sanitation etc. They were given orientation on the above subjects for creation of awareness at community level. The Field Workers organizes courtyard meetings, village committee meetings etc. in the project area.

Health and Nutrition

Singra Upazila is a covered with great Chalan Beel and most of the area remains under water 6-7 months of the year and affected by flood. The people mostly illiterate and has little knowledge about health care. ISDCM Field workers do the propaganda activities on health related information’s like diarrhea, nutritional blindness, EPI, Iodine deficiency, sanitation and water issues. ISDCM Field Workers assist EPI vaccination programme to Health Assistant. Organizes awareness creation meeting in the project Upazilas and motivate people take the health services provided by the govt. Health Institution. The committees established at different level under the directives of the govt. for arsenic mitigation project has been utilized to create awareness for Health, Education, Water and Sanitation etc.

The rural people are not much aware about food value. Protein intake levels by the rural people are very much low. Most of the protein derived from cereals and was not complemented with adequate quantities of higher quality protein from legumes and animals sources. The ISDCM trying to popularized certain readily available vegetables and fruits. The community ignored about cheap, easy and locally available food items. But ISDCM has helped them to aware about certain key nutrients of the people of project area. This activity was included with project components viz. water options, Sanitation, Education and income generation meeting of the group members. The table presented below shows the dissemination of health and nutrition information by field workers.

2.8. Advocacy on Child Rights

The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) covers all individuals below the age of 18 years, “unless under the law a applicable to the child, maturity is attained earlier”. NGOs have been working actively to raise awareness regarding children’s rights and related issues. The impact in the global trends such as violence, poverty, debt, environmental degradation and crime have important implications for children growing up in developing nations.

ISDCM’s all activities are primarily aimed and actively focused on the Rights of the Child. It has institutionalized advocacy on Child Rights and related issues as regular agenda in all existing programmes and forum. In its Community Development Project in Singra Upazila of Natore district Child Rights issues are being discussed in the regular group meetings and in the Upapilla Development Coordination meetings where ISDCM local Manager represents. In the same way in Arsenic Mitigation Project in Damurhuda (Chuadanga),Bancharampur (Brahmanbaria) and Homna (Comilla) Upazilas the Child Rights issues were discussed at village, ward, union, and upazilla and district level Arsenic Mitigation Committee meetings on regular basis. The ISDCM field staffs were intensively oriented on Child Rights to do the job effectively. Child Rights week was observed with the participation of government officials, public representatives, group members, community leaders, teachers and children. A week long programme was drawn up to observe the Child Rights week including children’s games, seminar and publicity on prevention of child marriage with the financial assistance of Bangladesh Shishu Adhikar Forum (BSAF), ISDCM organized the regional and local level seminars.

Besides, a number of regional and community level seminars were organized by ISDCM on Child Rights and more particularly child Labor, child marriage, child trafficking etc.

The table presented below shows the number and participants of such seminars in 2004.

Total:	04	224

It is found that different categories of participants took interests in Child Rights issues at local level. The participants laid emphasis on organizing such seminars more in number at local level to create awareness among the people.

The printed Booklets on Child Rights were also distributed to the participants and other key persons at Upazila level/union level.

2.9. HIV/AIDS

As an active member/partner of STI/AIDS Network of Bangladesh ISDCM maintained constant liaison and extended necessary support and assistance to the network regarding collaborative effort between NGOs to create a visible impact of the programs, to make the partnership wider and share experiences between partners.
With the limited resources ISDCM has expanded its activities particularly in the field of awareness creation on AIDS-a major life killer disease in the world at present. As per WHO estimate the total infections with the AIDS virus HIV at 5 to 10 million world wide.

ISDCM has organized seminars / workshops in the project Upazilas like Homna, Bancharampur, Damurhuda and Singra for creation awareness and dissemination of knowledge. The participants were School teachers, elites of the society, religious leaders and development workers. The topic AIDS was discussed in the following format

• What is AIDS and HIV;
• Type of infection;
• The origins of AIDS;
• AIDS as a global health concern;
• Treatment of AIDS;
• Transmission of AIDS;
• Preventing AIDS and
• Infection with HIV etc.

HIV infection can be prevented by a person’s own actions and decisions. In most instances, the active participation of two people is required for HIV transmission, such as in sexual intercourse and in sharing contaminated needles or syringes. However HIV can also be prevented through the health system (e.g. by ensuring the safety of blood, blood products, artificial insemination and organ transplantation and preventing reuse of needles, syringes). HIV infection can be prevented because the virus is not easy to spread. Also, because it spreads in ways we can control, knowledge about preventing HIV infection via sexual activities, exposure to infected blood and an awareness of the risk of transmitting HIV infection to children of infected mothers can greatly reduce the risk of infection.

In general, it was stressed that:

1) Un protected sexual intercourse is the main route of AIDS virus infection. Thus, people must know how to protect themselves from sexual exposure to the virus
2) Since HIV can be transmitted through blood, blood and blood products must be tested and treated to eliminate infectious virus;
3) AIDS virus infected women need to consider avoiding pregnancy.

The number of seminars and workshops organized on HIV/AIDS during reporting period are as follows:

ISDCM therefore, took special initiatives to create awareness among the people through organizing seminars and workshops.

ISDCM also carried out motivational campaign in the important places like Bus stand and Hat Bazar and uses posters about HIV/AIDS in the project Upazilas viz. Singra, Bancharampur and Homna.

2.10. Human Resource Development

As a small organization ISDCM with its limited resources and experienced manpower put top priority in development of human resources through a process of training and field placement to gain experience on the ground.

During 2005 good number of training programmes were organized on leadership development, social mobilization, water and sanitation promotion etc. In the tables presented below will show the number of participants in different trades:
