CANCELLED SITE AFTER PILOT TEST.

This site #PW204, is in the Mistrypara of Bajetpur village of Baduria block of N 24 Parganas district got cancelled after pilot test.

This year there is a delay in the construction due to the following reasons:
1. during april and may no village meetings could be held because of assembly election in the state election;
2. many sites were selected and village meetings were held several months before the construction. Many sites were cancelled because of pipelines that the local panchayet came to know about later. In fact sites in two blocks, Haringhata and Bashirhat have been replaced by sites in Baduria and Swarupnagar.
3. During pilot tests due to non availability of water bearing sand layer and family or neigborly disputes by now 22 sites been cancelled.
4. At every new site village meetings are being held that leads to delay too.

    Montu Das is the owner. Now this well is not in use because there is a ditch with stagnant water is adjacent to the well that needs to be sealed. Earlier 21 people were using water for cooking and drinking. Now are back to using water from their shallow tubewells. They are very poor with no education at all and do not know if their tubewells are contaminated with arsenic or not.

Submit Visitor Note

How it Works

Every field note helps building a history of activity at the project site. Every visit should result in a field note, including visits by peers and 3rd parties. Visits can be before implementation, during implementation and during operational state.

If the field note is during the operating phase of the project, then PWX considers the note as a verification note. Verification can show if the current operating state is different from that in the 'final' report and thus draw attention and resources to resolve issues.

Soon PWX AnalytiX will track the number of projects verified and combine that with the amount of time elapsed since 'completion', to summarize monitoring efforts and the sustainability of projects.

Learnings

Knowledge of project and process for sharing

Construction of bore-dugwell, boring and digging, should complete before the monsoon or rainy season. We have learnt that even after boring is completed, digging cannot be done when the water table is high without using heavy duty water pump. However, low ordinary pump is used when the water to be pumped out is maximum 4 feet in the dugwell.

Impact

People Getting Safe Drinking Water: 40

The community will start using the well water after the arsenic report. Water has been collected for the arsenic analysis.
Registers will be created as soon as the community starts using the water from this bore-dugwell.

Maintenance/Operating Costs Annual, in US$: $40

Creating and measuring long-term impact

Implementer: Project Well & Aqua Welfare Society

Aqua Welfare Society (AWS) is the partner NGO of Project Well. Their office is based in North 24 Parganas. The seven honorary board members are located in Kolkata. New field workers have been engaged mainly for the surveillance program. There is one project manager, one technical manager, one awareness program manager, two technical assistants, one maintenance assistant, one assistant for data entry, one account assistant and three field workers; three more field workers will be hired. All field staff are constantly interacting with the villagers and beneficiaries, training the users on well maintenance, organizing village meetings and health meetings. The project manager visits the villages three to four times a week and works alongside the field workers, meeting with government officials and villagers, selecting sites, coordinating well construction, sending reports to Project Well and meeting with the members AWS to keep the projects running. The awareness programmer is in charge of conducting public education programs in the communities and educational institutions, which is the other component that makes our program sustainable.
