Report: 4 of 8 ; 4 hamlets of Darewadi - drinking water project

Providing potable drinking water to the 4 hamlets of darewadi; Karande vasti, Gaikwad vasti, Patil-Nagare and Barve. We have implemented a water system allowing the villages access to a safe water supply.

Activities : From the main drinking water supply scheme, extension pipeline of total 13,370 ft was completed. Drinking water tank of 5000 ltrs was constructed in Nagare hamlet. One stand post each has been constructed in Karande, Barve and Gaikawad hamlet resp.

though the watershed development has been implemented in Darewadi, these remote hamlets were facing actue drinking water problem specially in summer. Due to the implementation of the extension pipeline from the main pipeline of the water supply scheme, these hamlets get sufficiient safe drinking water throughout the year.

The Village Development Committee of the village has imlemented this activity. The GP (local goverment of Darewadi) has taken the responsibiilty of the maintenance and the water tax collection of the project.

The GP has appointed local person from the village as a pump operator and for the water distribution of water to the entire village (including these 4 hamlets). The water purification TCL powder is done by the operator.

The remote and interior hamlets which are negelected / the benefits of the govt schemes are not received by the poor and the needy community. They deserve the external support like BPR to provide the very basic and the most important need of safe drinking water.
