Safe Water Strategy

Dear Peter,

The India Water Portal has 337 sources of water-related data, one example is the ASHWAS - A people's survey of water and sanitation in Karnataka (2009).

In Nepal, NEWAH has been monitoring the sustainability of its rural water and sanitation projects. See for example their Long Term Sustainability Study Findings report, which examined the status and sustainability of 298 NEWAH supported projects completed before 1998. Download here.

IRC and BRAC have recently published the findings of a survey of a large-scale WASH programme in Bangladesh. Data on 15 parameters was collected with the Qualitative Information System (QIS) - the best results were on toilet use. See the report here.

IRC and BRAC have recently published the findings of a survey of a large-scale WASH programme in Bangladesh. Data on 15 parameters was collected with the Qualitative Information System (QIS) - the best results were on toilet use. See the report here.

Addition - 3 March 2015

Several IRC colleagues have chipped in with some more leads:

The World Bank supported RWSS projects in India ( Punjab, Kerala, Maharashtra, Karnataka, UP etc.) have all done third sustainability evaluation exercises - the Jalanidhi project in Kerala has maybe done 3 such evaluations. A draft paper by Dr Kurian Baby includes an analysis from one Gram Panchayat in Kerala.

SNV was working a lot on this and there are mappings done on functionality in a couple of countries and SNA Asia has a discussion group on Functionality of Rural Water Supply. I will send details of relevant SNV contacts via Skype.
