Participants: VWSc members, gP Secretary, Village Water Person, School Management committee (SMc) members, gP members, aSha workers, health club members, Shg members and others (men and women). Methodology: interactive session and Transect Walk from Source to users.
agenda: To identify water security, water supply system and o&M issues.
facilitator: So. Duration: eight hours. Process:
1. assemble all community members at a central place in the village. explain the purpose and nature of activities involved in the preparation of the DWSP.
2. Begin the discussion about the water journey. with “how water travels from source to the user”. listen to the responses carefully and involve the participants by asking:
a. is your drinking water source protected from contamination?
b. is there any leakage in the system (transport main and distribution system)?
c. Do all the water connections have taps? d. have your tanks been cleaned regularly? e. Do all households have service connections? 3. Start the water journey and give participants a
copy of the checklist to complete with yes/no. answers. in a large village, participants can be divided into two groups and the water journey can be divided into (a) source to tank or (b) tank to distribution system.
3.2.5 Water Transect—Walk from Source to Users (Activity Code C-5)
The Water Transect, involving a walk from source to users, is a tool for onsite assessment of the water source, relevant equipment, O&M of facilities and monitoring compliance with the public water system.
The Source to User Water Transect also provides an opportunity to educate community members about water safety at the water source, transport main, reservoir and in the distribution system. It is a technique that records visible faults and deficiencies that could lead to the pollution of drinking water. It combines physical observation and reference to the checklists.
Involving women in the Water Transect may throw light on some new issues that have never been considered previously.
