(1) Cost of a pump head in India varies based on the dealers. Here are two websites: , cost at is Rs 5350 + 2.5% for packing and forwarding). Generally the installation cost is high. What was the initial cost of installation? (2) Would like to know the maintenance procedure in detail for example how much will each school child have to pay per year? The same system has failed in many areas due to improper maintenance. One person with technical knowhow should be recruited and be accountable to the school authority which should be accountable to the Implementer.

I was reading along thinking that this looked like a fine project, until I was brought up short by the proposal that school fees be used to pay for future maintenance. How much will this be?

I was reading along thinking that this looked like a fine project, until I was brought up short by the proposal that school fees be used to pay for future maintenance. How much will this be? Is there any chance that the fee, added to other costs of attending school, will discourage school attendance? In the last National Living Standards Survey in Vietnam, by far the most robust (using regression analysis on survey data) answer to the question of why kids were not in school was correlated to school fees. What other sources of revenue might be available?

Although there's a clear need, the plan is vague. Will there be any hygiene education? How will students pay school fees in addition to fees for using the well? (Considering the community couldn't afford the repairs of the pump in the first place and the previous was stolen) More details on how the community organization will work?

1. Lack of documentation of chemical quality of water; 2. missing information on annual maintenance cost. Suggestion: Measurement of contaminants in the water is advisable if not done yet. Fencing is good to prevent overuse of the pump but to prevent it from being stolen securing the pump head to the ground by means of thick chain and padlock would be advisable as done in few areas in our program.
