Project RWH & Drinking Water in Schools

Water and sanitation

History
Water scarcity is a growing problem both in quality & quan/ty to the city, state, country & world: Serious decline in underground water table due to uncontrolled & over consump/on Insucient municipal water supply, capaci/es of the reservoirs inadequate to cater to growing popula/on in ci/es To worsen maiers we face erra/c monsoons, poor infrastructure, defec/ve delivery systems

RI Dist 3140

Two focus areas for schools

Inadequate supply of water in toilets causing decline in basic hygiene & sanita/on Lack of clean drinking water to school children

Project Idea
Construc/on of Rain Water Harves/ng Systems to catch the run-o of rain water from roof tops and terraces of the school buildings. This system consists of tanks, pumps, sumps, collec/on, lter, storage units and will provide: rela/vely clean and free source of water a source of water at the point where it is needed owner-operated and managed units a socially acceptable and environmentally responsible idea to promotes self-suciency and water resource conserva/on concept a simple, exible technology that is easy to maintain a non labor intensive, cost saving system for construc/on, opera/on and maintenance In addi/on an RO (Reverse-osmosis) plant can further purify the collected water to make it safe for human consump/on. This system consists of RO plant, pipes, and water dispensing unit

Methodology
Municipal schools oer both sucient land area as well as terrace area ideal for RWH system Target is 10 Schools in the Chembur-Deonar area The Club has already covered 9 schools (non-municipal) and this will enhance the exis/ng coverage areas Installa/on work will be carried out ater due permissions and licenses obtained.

Project Training of Famers (VTT)

Economic and community development History
Over the last two decades we have adopted a group of villages in the Karjat Taluka Have installed 5 Rotary Community Corps in these villages Undertaken projects for construc/on of toilet blocks, bore wells, check dams, drinking water systems as well as suppor/ng the schools with books, furniture and infrastructure. Next project is to establish a local Community Centre RI Dist 3140

Dicul/es
A failed or erra/c monsoon Dire consequence as the farmer is forced to fold up his business by selling it in distress Worse is that he may end his life under moun/ng debt, family pressure and hopelessness Lack of credit, awareness & guidance, innova/ons not reaching them, supply of quality seeds, pes/cides, farm implements, supply of electricity, erra/c release of water from reservoirs, lack of market & commercial understanding, groundwater availability Lack of publicity of Govt. subsidy schemes among rural poor, par/cularly illiterate villagers.

Project Idea
A training and knowledge sharing program for a group of farmers belonging to these villages adequately addressing these elements The use of rela/vely low cost and technologically advanced prac/ces would be greatly beneied by visi/ng this region and gevng an opportunity to learn the skills, prac/ces, methods & technology used. Bring this informa/on back home to eec/vely convert and develop the similarly arid regions of Karjat and grow it into a model village like Israel

Methodology
5-7 Farmers selected from our RCC region and an accompanying Rotarian Need a Partner Club to host the VTT farmers to support a prac/cal training program for 15-20 days and use of Inter-Government schemes between Israel & India to assist in the program. Our Club will then ensure that when the VTT farmers return to India, we will arrange to impart this knowledge to the other farmers in the region under a well- conceived structure and supervision of our Club. Similar exchange of a professional team from your region could be arranged Opportunity to mutually share these agricultural concepts with each other This program is conceived to be an annual exchange between the 2 partner Clubs for the next 3-5 years and use each annual trip to focus on specic aspects of agricultural development

Project Cost for 5 farmers + 1 team leader (6 persons)

Air travel to & fro = Rs. 60,000/- x 6 = Rs. 3.6 lacs Lodging & Boarding = Rs. 2000 x 6 x 20 = Rs. 2.4 lacs Training & local travel = Rs. 1000 x 6 x 20 = Rs. 1.2 lacs Total Project Cost = Rs. 7.2 lacs ( US$ 13,000)
