Rig Unit Guide lines in working with the Partners
Guidelines for EFICOR RIG Unit
(When working with the Partners)
Key Definitions:
Goal: To empower communities towards sustainable development and well being
Objective: To Provide access to safe drinking water to all the people in the target areas
Indicators: % of people who have access to safe drinking water
Definition for Safe water:
Water is safe for drinking if it does not contain biological or chemical agents at concentration levels directly detrimental to health.
Defining Access to Safe Water:
A person is said to have access to safe water if
a) A minimum of 20 litres per day is available per person
b) The nearest water source is with in the maximum distance of 1000 meters from the house where the family resides.
c) The water is available throughout the year.
Basic Principles:
1. Hand pumps are installed where no other means of water supply is possible in that village
2. In view of the growing concern of the Groundwater depletion, water through hand pumps are provided only for drinking and domestic use. Using hand pump water for agriculture or other uses is not advised. Installing motor in for bore wells is also not encouraged.
3. Safe Drinking water is provided to the communities as part of integrated development programs, preferably not as an exclusive component.
Essential Criteria:
4. The primary beneficiaries of the hand pumps should be the poor communities. Marginalised communities who do not have access to a near by water source due to caste, race, religion etc., need to be prioritised.
5. One hand pump can be installed for every 20 families with a population of around 100.
6. The hand pump should be installed in the common land only. In case of non availability of common land, hand pump can be installed in the personal land, an affidavit has to be filed making it a common property
7. Bore wells will be drilled up to a maximum depth of 300 feet
8. The water in the surrounding bore wells need to be generally fit for drinking
Operational Systems:
9. EFICOR will show intent to explore installation of handpumps in a particular area according to its long term strategy.
10. The partner of that area will formally request EFICOR for installing handpumps in their target villages
11. Upon receiving the request, EFICOR team lead by the Director (Operations) will visit the partner target villages and finalise the selection
12. Partner will then conduct a survey and submit a proposal to EFICOR
13. On receiving the acceptance from the Donors, EFICOR will then intimate to the partner regarding the number of hand pumps to be installed in this year, and upon agreement, EFICOR and the partner will sign an MOU.
14. EFICOR will also formally handover the Drilling team to the partner for drilling, training and Installation of hand pumps.
15. EFICOR will transfer the required amount to the partner and the partner will initiate the process of detailed survey (including geological and KAP surveys) and to locate exact points for drilling.
16. The partner will then discuss with the community and the community will get clearance for hand pump installation from the local government and make a request to the partner for Installation of the hand pump
17. After establishing the possibility of a hand pump with the assistance of drilling team, the partner and the community will sign an MOU consisting the terms and conditions of Installation of the hand pump.
18. After signing an MOU, the partner will ask the drilling team to do the drilling and install the hand pump in the village.
19. The drilling team also will train two care takers for every hand pump, and one mechanic for every 10 hand pumps installed.
20. The toolkits for repair will also be given to the partners for the use of mechanics in the event of repairs at the rate of one tool kit for every 10 hand pumps.
21. After finishing the required target, the partner will then formally handover the hand pumps to the local government.
22. RIG team will decide the final point for drilling in consultation of the villagers. Any dispute or pressure to drill in other places will not be entertained.
23. When water is not found in the first place, drilling in the second place is done only with much study and analysis regarding the further availability of water.
24.
Partners Role:
25. A proper awareness program regarding maintenance of hand pump, health and hygine needs to be conducted in the villages.
26. The partner should take responsibility for further repair and maintenance of the bore wells by training and motivating the communities.
27. For platform construction, community needs to contribute the materials like sand, metal, cement and labour, which will be agreed upon during the signing of the MOU
28. Proper way for the vehicles to come, vehicle parking and accommodation (place to stay for the Rig team) need to be provided
29. Coordinate between Govt and other NGOs
30. Assist EFICOR team in getting necessary permits for the vehicles
31. Motivate community to dig a Water Harvesting structure to recharge the ground water with a minimum dimensions of 12’/12’/2’
32. Motivate the community to make proper drainage system and soak pits near the hand pump.
