Problem Identification

1.

Lack of long-term drinking water supply master plan.

2.

Unprecedented development and population growth.

3.

Inability of the water supply infrastructure to cope with the growing demand.

4.

Financial constraint and lack of adequate technical capacity to develop water supply infrastructure.

5.

Lack of appropriate technology and technical capacity to

  • perate and maintain water supply systems.

6.

Intermittent water supply with high system loss.

7.

Resulting in the shortage of drinking water shortage. Goal is To ensure safe drinking water to protect consumer health.

Background of the Policy Project – South Thimphu Water Supply Scheme

 Goal : Provision of 24x7 reliable, safe and sustainable

drinking water supply.

 Integration/networking with existing Systems.  Project duration -18 months  Funded by – Asian Development Bank Project  Budget : Nu. 114.00M  Target population is about 50,000 to 60,000  Main stakeholder of the Policy - Thimphu Residents  Was planned and constructed to meet the demand of

drinking water supply shortage.

Key issue of the project implementation

 Obstacles and difficulties of the Policy (Project):

  • Land acquisition. E.g Acquisition of identified site for WTP
  • Easement for transmission pipeline. E.g raw water transmission passes

through private property.

  • Forest/Environmental Clearance. E.g the location of water intake is

within the National Park.

 Interest and conflicts among Stake-holders:

  • Interest:

 Access to 24x7 safe and reliable drinking water supply in a

sustainable manner to improve water and sanitation for Public

  • health. (WHO Guideline BDWQS 2016)
  • . Coordination with stakeholders

  • Conflict:
  • Water use priority as per water act 2011

 Favorable and unfavorable condition related to the Policy:

  • Favorable:

Strong Political will. Strong support from the beneficiaries. Strong support from the Stakeholder. (MoWHS for Urban and

water Sanitation, MoH, Is apex body for quality for both urban and Rural, NEC is Apex Body for Regulatory

Key strategies for success of the Project

 Your role in solving the problem

  • Long-term drinking water master plan (draft) prepared.
  • Secure Funding source from the Bank.
  • Extension of distribution network including augmentation.
  • Important strategies or policy tools you have employed in the

process

  • Extensive consultation with the stakeholders.
  • Selection of appropriate technology to ensure sustainability.
  • Creative ideas and policy actions, new management

techniques or technology used in the process.

  • Networking of the new scheme with the existing systems to

integration/achieve equitable supply

slide-7
SLIDE 7

Key strategies for success of the Project

  • New Technology for water treatmet plant

 How to persuade or to compromise different interest among

stakeholder

  • Divided project into different packages for simultaneous

implementation to ensure completion in time.

Lesson and Implications

Missed:

  • Adequate time to be allotted for project planning
  • Timely acquisition of land required for the project
  • Achieved:
  • Project planned successfully and under implementation
  • Land Acquired
  • Appropriate Technology selected for WTP
  • Environment Clearance obtained

Good strategies and policy tools that can be applied to similar cases

  • Coordination with relevant stake holders
  • Selection of appropriate technology
  • Synchronization of implementation of project components

Policy recommendation for the project:

  • Transfer of technologies and Capacity building to ensure sustainability of the project
