This project will focus on increasing the service level and ensuring scheme sustainability by rehabilitation and maintenances of non-functional schemes, construction of new schemes in areas where there is high water demand.

Additionally, another component of the project is solution of high fluoride content in drinking water. This will be done through construction or rehabilitation of locally made, simple and affordable fluoride treatment plant at selected schemes (Nalgonda method). Target kebeles will be those with highest fluoride content in the area.

In connection to this, there will be further strengthening of the technical and resource capacity of the woreda water mines and energy office, involving community at all stages of water sources development (follow-up of activities from 2011 – 13), promoting private sector to open spare part shop, improving coordination and communication between actors (e-problem reporting), and introduction of good information management system in all levels and establishment of database system at woreda level.
