Binh Duong Commune is an agricultural commune in the Thang Binh District, located 24 km south of Danang City. It is located east of the East Sea, north of Binh Nghia commune in Duy Xuyen district, west of the Truong Giang River and south of Binh Dao commune in Thang Binh district.
There are 7,228 people living in 1,940 households in the commune, of which the four beneficiary hamlets have 2,518 people living in 989 households.
About 75% of the residents in this commune subsist on farming, 20% by fishing and the rest have small businesses. The number of poor households (defined as average monthly per capita income of $US12 or less) in the commune is 441 (ie 22.7% of the total households in the commune).
Binh Duong Commune obtains drinking and washing water from drilled and dug wells. Water from the wells has high levels of sediment. Some high income households purchase bottled drinking water at a cost of 20,000 VND (about $US1.10) for 20 liters. However, poorer residents use makeshift manual stone and sand filters to treat well water or are limited to using the polluted well water for their daily activities.
About 80% of household have pour flush hygienic latrines and 20% of households have dry pit latrines. About 80% of the residents who use dry pit latrines are interested in building partly subsidized self contained pour flush hygienic latrines.
There is a critical need for access to clean water for the residents in this area because water related health issues are common.

Drinking Water - Community
Hygiene Education

¥ Assessment of the needs of local residents for safe water and improved sanitation and hygiene in the project area.
¥ Assessment of the willingness and ability of beneficiaries to pay for both initial investment costs for house connections and monthly consumption-based water tariffs; and, contribution of labor to the construction for digging and backfilling pipeline trenches.
¥ Identification of the most convenient, highest capacity, best quality and most reliable water supply in the area (four drilled wells).
¥ Water quality testing of the three drilled wells and certification of the source as fit for drinking before commencement of design and construction.
¥ Hold consultation meetings with potential beneficiary groups and local authorities in order to allow everyone to voice their concerns and opinions about the proposed project as well as to share local knowledge and experience about clean water usage and hygiene issues.
¥ The following standard activities will be carried out: design and construction of three drilled wells, three intake pumps (submersible or centrifugal depending upon the selected water source depth), intake piping, water treatment system and water storage tank (as determined by the water quality test results and location details), electrical and control systems and the water transmission and distribution systems (23,200 m). A water production meter will be installed on the outlet to the main distribution line to monitor water production and downstream water losses.
¥ Technical and management skills training of Water Managers and the Project Management Board to ensure that the proper system operations and maintenance activities will be undertaken when EMW involvement ceases.
¥ Carry out a hygiene and sanitation behavioral change program to maximize the community health benefits of the new water supply system. The EMW Hygiene and Sanitation Behavioral Change (HSBC) program will raise awareness, provide training and provide financial incentives to help families build hygienic latrines and carry out social marketing activities to encourage people to adopt more effective hygiene and sanitation behaviors.
