Assessment of Functionality
Results of the Helvetas Swiss Intercooperation Nepal functionality study (2011)A study covering 100 water supply schemes revealed that 98% of the schemes are still functional 5 to 10 years after completion

98% of Drinking Water and Sanitation Schemes are still functional 5 to 10 years after completion
22% need major repair
5% need rehabilitation to meet increased demand (these schemes are still functional!)
65% of the households are using toilets and latrines (National average is 43%!)
A Comparative Analysis

Scaling up
4
Water Use Master Plan (WUMP) WUMP is a participatory planning tool and process Based on local initiative and ownership Focus on water, its sources and uses Applies an IWRM approach addressing different water uses and users Developed based on a series of practical experiences Can be adapted to different contextual situations
5
Purpose Use water - a common property
resource - as an entry point and catalyse community based planning and development process
Effective, equitable, inclusive and efficient use of water at the local level
Strengthen delegated water planning and management at the community level
Ensure that water resources are used rationally and shared equitably, fairly and inclusively among and within communities
Establish synergies with decentralization processes
6
Principles The WUMP process is
community managed bottom-up and inclusive strengthens local capacities creates awareness of key issues in
water management and use strives for consensus within the
community follows the basic principle of
sustainable water development:
balancing supply and demand!
7
Process Identify water resources and related
infrastructure / facilities Analyse the potential and limitations of
different sources Assess boundary conditions upstream
– downstream and potential conflicts Identify water needs and water
allocation Analyse the institutional setup and
power structures Create links with local government and
line agencies Prioritise potential activities in the water
sector Promote conservation of water and
natural resources linked to water Identify funding sources and promote
convergence
8
Products
A Water Use Master Plan is a balanced water resource development plan considering social, environmental and economic sustainability that provides clarity on:
Available water resources Water needs Potentials and limitations Institutional capacities Social power structures Community priorities (without detailed
technical studies) The Way forward

WUMP in Practise (WARM-P, Nepal)
VDC: Village Development Committee
WRMC: Water Resource Management Committee

Experience from Nepal 86 VDCs have prepared WUMPs More than 320 drinking water and sanitation schemes have been implemented
by the WARM-P Project in Nepal serving 116‘000 people Multiple Use Services (MUS) are developed combining drinking water and
farmer managed irrigation In some communes micro-hydropower plants could be established Source protection and river training activities are regular features in many
WUMPs Conflicts between villages over water sources could be resolved through
dialogue and negotiation WUMP approach is used by other organisations in Nepal to plan water related
interventions (e.g. WaterAid, Nepal-Finland Cooperation, EU funded projects) Government of Nepal is interested in developing its national guidelines for the
preparation of WUMPs in all 4,000 VDCs in Nepal.
11
The Outcomes: Functionality Study 98% of Drinking Water and Sanitation Schemes supported by WARM-P are still functional
5 to 10 years after completion about 20% of the schemes need major repair and 5% need rehabilitation to meet increased
demand (these schemes are still functional!) 65% of the households are using toilets and latrines (National average is 43%!)
Major success factors:
Local initiative and ownership Empowerment of the local stakeholders by systematic institution and capacity building:
inclusive User Committees (UC), Water Resource Management Committee (WRMC) Promotion of Local Service Providers and Villager Maintenance Workers
(remote areas!) Balanced mix of hardware and software support Use of appropriate technologies and high quality materials Encourage development of Multiple Use Services and promote productive water uses Support conservation and protection of water sources and water harvesting Establishment of an O & M Fund in each community
