Download or read book Water Services Provision to Low Income Communities in Dhaka Assessment of the Partnership Approach by Dhaka Wasa written by Adriaan MELS and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dhaka Water and Sewerage Authority is partnering with NGOs and social entrepreneurs to provide water services to Low-Income Communities. This paper explores the service delivery models developed through these partnerships, service quality, working arrangements and how they help achieve DWASA's social and commercial objectives. The findings show that five service models are in operation, that performance, risk and sustainability perspectives differ and that the partnerships are instrumental in realizing DWASA's dual objectives. The paper suggests that DWASA continues with the partnership approach and transitions from the present coordinator role to one of leadership, focusing on longer-term sustainability of the models.

This book was released on 2015 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many developing countries are struggling with infrastructure deficits in drinking water supply and the correlated inhibited economic growth and unfulfilled social needs. Especially the Bottom of the Pyramid [BOP] is excluded from access to safe drinking water. Diseases and thousands of deaths are often the consequence. Unsurprisingly, water is prominently represented in the Millennium Development Goals of the United Nations. Innovative solutions had to be established in order to support low-income countries and their underserved population despite financial restrictions and lacking investments. Public-Private Partnership [PPP] has become a key model to tackle this problem. This thesis provides answers to basic questions about classic PPP in order to reach a broader understanding of the meaning of this particular partnership in water supply. Secondly, it will critically assess the different PPP types for providing drinking water and their impact on utility performance. It can be shown that PPP has served millions of people with safe and affordable drinking water. However, many PPP projects have failed - often due to governmental issues such as noncompliance with contractual obligations, regulatory issues, inaccurate analysis of the country's economic environment, and misconceptions of responsibilities. The thesis concludes with recommendations and suggested government support approaches.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Coastal municipalities across the Asia and Pacific region are looking for solutions to worsening salinity levels in their water sources due to overextraction of groundwater and rising sea levels. The transition from groundwater to surface water or conjunctive use can be costly and technically complex. But it is possible, as proven by the Khulna Water Supply Project, cofinanced by the Asian Development Bank and the Japan International Cooperation Agency. The coastal city of Khulna in Southwest Bangladesh developed a new surface water source and avoided the recurring high costs of desalination treatment technology. The project financed an entirely new system—from intake to tap—for 65% of the city’s population. The transformative changes from the project were possible with the newly established Khulna Water Supply and Sewerage Authority, only the third of its kind in the country.

Book excerpt: This paper presents techniques of assessing the present state of water supply situation, sanitation condition and drainage system of an area by using Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) method. South Begunbari Slum, Dhaka has been selected as the study area for this study. Several participatory planning tools have been adopted in course of the study for determining the present scenario of the previously mentioned utility facilities in the selected study area. Finally some recommendations have been specified to develop the overall condition. Local people's participation has been ensured to the maximum limit during the study. Bottom-up approach of planning through PRA method has been demonstrated here. Existing scenario, local peoples vision and assessment of the prescribed needs with regards to the country standard has been also performed.

Download or read book Effective Demand for Safer and More Reliable Water Supply in Low and Middle income Countries Evidence from Urban Bangladesh and Rural Uganda written by Daniel W. Smith and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Access to drinking water infrastructure in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) has increased over the last 30 years, but much of that infrastructure functions intermittently, provides water of poor quality, or fails prematurely. Financing for the recurrent costs of delivering truly safe and reliable water supply is far lower than needed. This dissertation contributes to understanding the extent to which water users' willingness and ability to pay (their 'effective demand') over time for innovative, community-level water supply improvements that obviate individual behavior change could fill this financial gap. It does so by measuring effective demand and its determinants for real water supply improvements delivered as subscription services in exchange for real money payments.Two price experiments and one simulation were conducted in contexts where safer and more reliable water supply is urgently needed: urban South Asia and rural Africa. Each study involved collecting data in the field over five months to two years. First, 196 landlords of rental housing in Dhaka, Bangladesh were offered a passive, inline chlorination service at various prices using Becker-DeGroot-Marschak (BDM) auctions. Second, a Monte Carlo simulation was developed to estimate the effect of Dhaka residents' aversion to chlorine taste on their choice of water supply and subsequent exposure to microbiological and disinfection byproduct contamination. Third, 113 community water committees across two districts in rural Uganda were offered a professional handpump maintenance and repair service at various prices, also using BDM auctions.The in-line chlorination and handpump services were delivered successfully and satisfied most of their customers. Nonetheless, effective demand for both services decreased over time and was insufficient to recover a meaningful share of their operational expenses at the scale of study. There was little evidence that landlords in Dhaka and water committees in Uganda responded to the economic incentives hypothesized to make the services especially attractive to them. Notably, some determinants of demand for different stages in the process of acquiring and sustaining the water supply improvements differed within and across contexts. For example, landlords renting to low-income households had lower effective demand over a one-year service period than those renting to middle-income households despite similar initial rates of payment across both groups. And whereas effective demand over time for in-line chlorination in Dhaka was correlated with income, effective demand for more reliable handpumps in rural Uganda was not correlated with any measure of wealth employed.The Monte Carlo simulation suggests that accounting for chlorine taste aversion changes the expected relationship between the chlorine dose used in point-of-use (household-level) water treatment and subsequent exposure to both microbiological and disinfection byproduct contamination. Instead of higher doses necessarily reducing microbiological exposure, there is a theoretical optimum dose for a given context at which the combined likelihoods of people choosing to drink chlorinated water and microbiological inactivation minimize population-level exposure. For disinfection byproducts, there is a dose at which the combined likelihoods of people choosing to drink chlorinated water and disinfection byproduct formation maximizes population-level exposure. In Dhaka, simulated exposure to E. coli ≥1 Colony Forming Unit (CFU) the widely accepted health-based standard, was minimized at a dose of 0.5 mg/L Cl2; disinfection byproduct exposure was maximized at doses of 1-2 mg/L.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This note explores the Bangladesh experience in implementing the widespread use of a private operator model for building and operating rural piped water schemes. Since the early 1990s, the World Bank has, through a series of development projects, designed, piloted, and attempted to scale up use of the model as a mechanisms to address the very real issues of arsenic contamination and delivery at scale. The latest of these projects is still in implementation. The experience with these projects to date has been disappointing, and while a limited number of schemes are still in operation, the model has not been replicated in a large number of communities as intended and has not proved to be particularly sustainable. Over this same period, the government and other development partners also have been using alternative methods to deliver the same kinds of services in rural areas. Some of these efforts seem to have been modestly successful. However, much of the evidence about the performance of these other models is anecdotal and there has been little rigorous analysis to compare the performance of these different models with the private sponsor approach. This paper attempts to do this on the basis of a desk review of existing World Bank literature, including project documents and research reports, coupled with interviews with key stakeholders and World Bank staff. The first section of the paper provides an overview of the rationale and key issues associated with efforts to scale up a private operator model in Bangladesh. The second section reviews government efforts and those of its other development partners, to use a more traditional mode of service provision, involving community management. The third, fourth, and fifth sections review efforts by the government and the World Bank to design, test, and scale up a private operator model for service provision. A sixth section reviews some of the international research that provides insights into the use of such models in other countries and sectors. The paper ends with tentative conclusions about the experience in Bangladesh, lessons learned, and several options for further analysis.
