2. Preface:
The three day South Asia Regional Conference on Rural Water Supply and Sanitation was organized by the
World Bank in partnership with AusAid. Around 80 high level officials from Afghanistan, Bangladesh,
Bhutan, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka as well as experts and practitioners from Brazil, Vietnam,
Netherlands and the United States of America are participating in the conference. They shared their views
and insights on critical issues like the long term sustainability of rural water supply schemes, increasing
access to sanitation, challenges of declining water quality and quantity, monitoring and evaluation and
public-private partnership in rural water supply & sanitation.
The delegates of the conference visited four schemes of Rural Water Supply and Sanitation Fund
Development Board Nepal. RWSSFDB concluded the Second program on August 2012. Rural Water
Supply and Sanitation Fund Development Board altogether under first and second project helped
community to develop 2365 functioning WASH schemes which provided 299547 house hold with 1840892
population access to safe water, toilet facility and income generation program for self sustainability .
Planning, implementation and operation was taken by community where NGO would facilitate them and
third party service agency provided impartial monitoring and evaluation inputs. The Board at back seat acted
to capacitate the partners, stakeholders and provided fund for community demand driven schemes. The
schemes implemented by communities reflected sustainability rate as high as 85 to 92 percent in different
batches as found in the reports of sustainability studies.

owners. Any house can fetch water now within ten minute time as designed in this project. The
environmental planning helps community to maintain rainy season risk protection and water quality
management in the source.
8. Technical Parameter
The Scheme has Intake-2, Break Pressure Tank-0. Washout Valve Box – 2. Ferro-cement
Reservoir Tank (RVT)-2 (8 & 10 m3 capacity), Suspended Crossing-5, Anchor blocks-25, Public
Tap Stands-10 public & 4 private, Transmission Pipe Line- 3366.70 m and Distribution Pipe Line-
2021.80 m. Source Dharsing Khola spring Qs-2.45 lps & Dharsing 1 Qs-0.50 lps Spring
9. Financial Parameter
The scheme is originally designed as continuous supply. The house holds in community pay just
monthly NRs 50 per hous ehold to receive year round water. Waste water proper utilization is an
opportunity which the community is aware and tries to keep in practice. Water based income
generation opportunities enhanced after scheme implementation. Sanitation Revolving Loan fund
provided in Development Phase NRs 15000 and in Imp. Phase NRs.11000. Total latrine demand
was 50. All household has build toilet. Display board placed in open place informs all financial and
scheme matters.
10. Social Parameter

21. Rural Water Supply and sanitation Fund Development Board
Community Managed Water Sanitation and Hygiene Schemes
Name of Scheme: Manedanda
Type of Scheme: Gravity
Village: Manedanda
Plan to Use Interest Amount of Community Developed Trust Fund for Water Scheme Sustainability
1. About the Village: Manedanda Water Supply & Sanitation Scheme is located at ward no.4 & 5
of Katunjebesi VDC in Kavre district. This scheme is at 65 Km distance from capital city
kathmandu.
2. Population: There are 102 house hold and 929 populations. The community is homogenous
background with all Tamang 72 HH, Brahmin 18 Hhand Dalit 12 HH people.
3. Previous Water Supply System: The village had a worn out nineteen years old pipe system
which had that time 10 water collecting stand posts and other 10 stand posts served next village.
The system was worn out and then the source drastically dried. This was partly by nature and
partly piping of water by new houses clustered near by the source. They were in badly need of
improved new water supply system
4. Community Demanded: The community constructed school with help from District Education
office and self contribution. The CM of NGO SJAYC also helped NRs 25000.00 cash to furnish and
décor the new building office. At inaugural function the community placed heavy request for water
scheme to SJAYC from fund board. The school would also need institutional latrine and reliable
water supply, hence scheme came in process.
5. Salient Features The Development phase 9 month contracted on 13/7/2011 with amount NRs
316822.00. Implementation phase contracted on 13/6/2012 work is ongoing in this scheme. NRs

22. 35,068.77 in cash and NRs 983,595.02 in kind contribution received from the community. The
RWSSFDB provided a fund of NRs 1763766.65 in the implementation phase 10 month contract.
The DDC, VDC provided all moral support and the Service Agency ERMC was there for third party
monitoring evaluation. All units of RWSSFDB provided support to the Portfolio Manager and
Regional Manager to successfully complete this scheme.
Worshiping Source before Intake Construction
6. Institutional and Organizational Structure of the Schemes:
Non formal education is from DEO
Sanitation: Households have slogan written [Fohor Malai- Garbage here] garbage dumping pits, 35
% of households are having drying platforms to disinfect utensils. People are into habit of daily
cleaning their house and monthly twice cleaning the trails and surroundings.
Sanitation: Toilet building: RAMRO NGO was involved there in toilet building but many people
partly living for occupation in Kathmandu could not benefit from this program. This NGO would
support to build Biogas toilets if the villagers were able to bring all required local material and
contribute some unskilled labor. 47 biogas toilets were constructed. However people opting for only
toilet construction and absent hhs could take benefit of present Fund Board program. At present
only 5 hhs remain to construct toilet after this the WSUG has prepared to declare the village a No
Open Defecation Zone.
Maya Lama works as Village Health Promotor in this village. Suku Maya Lama and Gana
Bahadur BK are involved in on site construction activities as future Village Maintenance Worker.
Women Technical Support Service has 55 members and they have group saving of NRs 25000
including ten thousand grant from Fund Board.
Procurement Committee: This committee surveyed the entire local and Kathmandu market for
quality material purchase. They successfully bargained and would receive in total about NRs
twenty thousand discount on non local material purchase. This would be documented in minute
and reflected in social audit.

23. 7. Design Feature
The scheme is designed for 20 years period. Design Feature: present source comes out from rock
and in future no risk of tempering of this source. Single line distributes water through 19 stand post
that would make it intact system.
8. Technical Parameter
The Scheme has Intake-1, Break Pressure Tank-4, Suspended
Crossing-2, Anchor block 12. Ferro-cement Reservoir
Tank (RVT)-1( 20m3, 1m3 capacity),Public Tap Stands-
11,Transmission Pipe Line- 3936.4 m and Distribution Pipe Line-
4813.9 m.
9. Financial Parameter
The scheme is originally designed as continuous supply. The
house holds in community plan to make sufficient O&M amount
which interest will be enough to pay the community staff.
10. Social Parameter
The people are heavily involved in construction activities to complete the scheme. Intake and
transmission line works are complete. One school with 80 students is benefited with this program.
11. Operational and Maintenance Structure:
They are trying to develop a trust model for operation and maintenance. They were able to bring
NRs 155000.00 from VDC they want to raise and add sufficient amount in this to make a good
operation fund. They think even if they will make this sum NRs 200000.00, the interest of this
amount will be sufficient to pay to the VMW/VHP. This is very innovative thinking which comes
from Manedanda Community to mechanize in automatic way a permanent sustainability
arrangement for their water scheme.
12. Challenges
• There was some dispute while constructing intake in the source which was solved
• Rainy season affected pace of construction
13. Result
• Planned to utilize waste water in kitchen gardening
• One room in school being used as WSUC office [Teachers are on WSUC]
• Pay VMW/VHP from interest amount of Operation fund
• Declare the village NODZ after completion of toilet construction in 5 houses.
