IMPACT ASSESSMENT OF PURE AND SAFE DRINKING WATER
PRESENTED BY: TONMOIE SARMAH (P33055)
UNDER THE GUIDANCE OF: Prof. INDRANIL DE
INDIAN INSTITUTE OF RURAL MANAGEMENT, ANAND
Summary of Findings • Reduction in water borne diseases: 65% in Diarrhea, 57% in Urinary
stones, 57% in Skin Diseases (PHC Madavganfarata, Maharashtra)
• Triggering factors for using water from Waterlife:
– Rural area: (i) Better Health – 57% (ii) Better Taste – 16% (iii) Better Food – 14%
– Urban area: (i) Better Taste – 89% (ii) Better Health – 33%
• Purposes of use: Drinking & cooking
• Significant drop in frequency of visit to doctors (once a month visits dropped from 57% to 25%)
• Household Savings due to better health: ₹ 1687 per month in rural areas
• Absenteeism in school days due to water borne diseases drops from 3 days a month to Nil.
• 5 minutes and fuel saved in cooking using Waterlife water
OBJECTIVES
To do a holistic assessment of the impact that the organization have created on the lives of the rural and urban people by providing them with safe drinking water at the village level and thereby influencing their lives at the household level
To conduct a control-treatment group study in two villages to throw light on the ripple effects of providing safe drinking water
To present case studies so as to highlight the impact of providing safe drinking water and the findings of a cooking experiment conducted
To try to map the business model on a sustainable development framework and based on findings develop a Logframework Matrix for WLIP
PRIMARY SOURCES OF DATA:
Field Visits; Baseline study of the villages; Questionnaire survey
Interviews and unobtrusive observations
SECONDARY SOURCES OF DATA:

ABSENTEEISM FROM AGANWADI
GINIGERA
Average number of school days missed monthly, due to water borne diseases was- 3 days
After usage of purified water absence from school due to water borne diseases is- NIL
BASAPUR
Water borne diseases are prevalent
Apart from seasonal cough and cold Diarrhea and stomach pain is a major cause of absence from school
Average number of school days missed monthly is 4 days
Sustainable Development Framework
Social - Free from Water borne diseases and death due to it, healthy and better quality of life - Community participation and sensitization --Creating Awareness and educating people - No discrimination
Economic - Cost Savings due to better health - Prevent loss of man days due to waterborne diseases -Improved productivity - Affordable and accessible to all - Revenue generating model
Environment -High Quality Water catering to WHO guidelines and IS10500 standards - Reduce wastage of water - Best available use of green and environmentally friendly technologies -Developing Creative Business Models
What is Logical Framework Approach (LFA) or Log Frame?
• Designed to help Funding Agencies take a good decision regarding funding a project
• The first logical framework developed for USAID at the end of 1960’s
• LFA is a systematic planning procedure for complete project cycle management
• It is a problem solving approach which takes into account the views of all stakeholders
• It also agrees on the criteria for project success and lists the major assumptions
21
• Output
• To provide safe and pure drinking water at affordable prices to both people in rural as well as urban areas on a sustainable basis
• Purpose
• To reduce and eliminate waterborne diseases which arises due to various contamination of water source by providing custom made solution at a nominal price
Applying LFA to Waterlife’s Project Making the Programme’s linked hypotheses explicit
• Activities
• Imparting Training to local people to function as operators on a monthly salary basis
• Tie up with Government Departments for supply of water, electricity etc like PWD, municipality, Panchayat office to avail land for establishing the water station
• Work in sync with Government as well as corporates to avail funding of the water stations
• Removal of contamination through custom made solutions
• Regular monitoring of water through testing on a regular basis
• Fast track handling and resolving of consumer complaints through technical experts to solve the problems in plant as and when it occurs
• No discrimination among people who come to fetch water
• Undertake awareness generating programmes
LOGICAL FRAMEWORK MATRIX
Narrative Summary Verifiable Indicators (OVI)
Means Of verification
Important Assumptions
Goal-Enhanced savings due to reduction in waterborne diseases, loss of man days. Reduction in absence from school and death due to water borne diseases
Bank balances of households, increase in assets or white goods, frequency of visit to doctors and records from Government or private hospitals, attendance records in schools.
Checking bank records or pass books, primary surveys, cost and savings analysis at household level, records from Aganwadi or schools and records from Panchayat and nearby Government or, private Hospitals
Use of the savings to have nutritious food and improved quality of life, people use money judiciously, avoid wastage of money in malicious practices or habits, like gambling, drinking etc, people do not skip work without any proper cause and children's are going to school regularly if they have better health.
LOGICAL FRAMEWORK MATRIX(Contd...) Narrative Summary Verifiable Indicators
(OVI)
Means Of verification
Important Assumptions
Purpose-Reduction of waterborne diseases
Number of cases of water borne diseases registered in PHC, government or private hospitals daily, monthly or annually, interviews of doctors
Primary Surveys and PHC data regarding number of cases of water borne diseases (per day ,monthly or per annum)
People use the potable water on a continued basis both at home and workplace
Outputs-Removal of contamination of water and make it potable and safe to drink on sustainable basis
Level of TDS, turbidity, pH value, hardness, nitrate, clarity and taste of water
Water Test Reports Valid Testing procedure using proper equipments, timely and efficient operations and maintenance of the plant, community participation to ensure sustainability.
Narrative Summary Inputs
Activities-Creating awareness amongst people for drinking potable water, Training the operators regarding functioning of the plant, Testing raw water sources, constructing the water station, testing of the product i.e purified drinking water, delivering of water to the people, have proper operations and maintenance in place, fast track redressal of consumer complaints, enhance community participation for ensuring sustainability of the plant.
Designing professional Campaigns and action plan, availability of trainers, training participants or operators, proper training and testing materials and equipments, having certified engineers and approvals for establishing the plant, suitability of timings for the community to fetch potable water, availability of technicians for fast track handling of and solving complaints, training participants in the community.
