I - PROJECT ACTIVITIES PROGRESS REPORT 1 (FROM PROJECT LAUNCH TO DRILL WATER ANALYSIS)
INTRODUCTION
The implementation of project activities “Improving access to water for the communities of Lédiyo , Nigbaoudè II and Koumoniadè II in the prefecture of Tchaoudjo ” began with the stage of raising awareness among beneficiary communities on 02 and April 3, 2024. It is implemented by the NGO CAV with the financial support of the COCHRAN Family based in the USA, of Mr Jong Cheng Huang through GlobalGiving .
This report summarizes all activities carried out from April 2 to May 3, 2024.
The following activities were carried out during this period:
- Raising public awareness of the project and setting up drilling sites ;
- Carrying out geophysical studies;
- Drilling of wells;
- Pumping and water analysis
- Monitoring of project activities.
PROGRESS OF ACTIVITIES
1. Raising public awareness of the project and establishing drilling sites:
Awareness raising took place from April 2 to 3, 2024 in the 3 localities benefiting from the drilling project for the year 2024.
During these awareness sessions, the beneficiaries were trained with their responsibilities to now take charge of the management and maintenance of the works to be built.
An area of at least a quarter of a hectare was chosen by each community for geophysical studies. This chosen space is that belonging to the entire community or space donated by the community or landowners with proof of ownership of the site.
2. Geophysical studies:
The geophysical studies were organized in the beneficiary communities from April 4 to 6, 2024.
These studies revealed the existence of abundant water tables between 70 and 120 meters deep.
3. Drilling, development and equipment
Drilling and development work was successfully carried out in the 3 project sites from April 7 to 9, 2024.
4. Pumping and physicochemical and microbiological analyzes of water from boreholes:
Pumping of the boreholes was carried out two (2) weeks after the drilling stage. It took place from April 22 to 23, 2024 and consisted of:
ü Measure the borehole flow rate;
ü Determine the variation in its production at different flow rates;
ü Quantify aquifer characteristics, including permeability coefficient and water storage capacity.
At the end of the pumping, water samples were taken for physicochemical and bacteriological analyzes in the laboratory at the Regional Directorate of Hygiene and Sanitation. The analyzes were carried out from April 22 to 27, 2024.
The results of the analyzes were therefore considered satisfactory and fully met the standards of the WHO (World Health Organization).
5. Coordination and monitoring of project activities.
Follow-ups were carried out by the project team. This team is made up of the NGO Coordinator, Accountant and Cashier. Drilling work monitoring tours were organized during geophysical studies, drilling and water pumping works. Telephone, email and Whatsapp contacts were exchanged between the project team, the company and the project technical monitoring manager.
II - NEXT STEPS:
The activities to be carried out from May 8, 2024 are as follows:
- Supply of equipment and installation of mechanical and photovoltaic power systems (Construction of the superstructures of the 2 human-powered boreholes; Construction of the water tower which will support the polytank and the solar plates)
- Support for the establishment of Water Committees, responsible for monitoring and managing drilling;
- Training of Water Committees on the maintenance and sustainable management of boreholes;
- Technical and provisional acceptance of the works;
- Final reception of the works;
- Monitoring and supervision of project activities.
