Pac Report For Sannar - Eachalavakkai Water Supply Project
Background: Sannar – Eachalavakkai villages are situated within the Manthai West DS
area, inMannar districts of Northern Province of Sri Lanka approximately
5km away from Mannar-Jaffna (A32) road. Recently resettlement was
completedby displaced people in this area during the civil war and a huge
amount water demand arises.
Although no ground water during the dry season but availability ground
water in other seasons but salinity is high in drinking water. Because those
areas close to the costal belt ground water salinity is high therefore
RSC(N) has been made a proposal to have pipe born water supply
scheme for this area and it is vital important to satisfy water demand
resettled multi community those areas.
Present Details Due to the absence of a pipe borne water supply, majority of the people in
the Sannar, Eachalawakai walk to the common water sources protected/
unprotected to water. As the common water sources doesn’t have pumping
systems, people have to manually get water from the deep water wells.
Depending on the locations of the water sources most of the families have
to walk approx. 3 – 4 Km to fetch the water for drinking and cooking
purposes.
Hence some private suppliers also supply drinking water to that area.
Some Water bowser suppliers get high amount to deliver water per trip
specially in dry season. But most families are poor, unable to satisfy their
water demand and they get emotional effect in dry seasons.
Treatment Ground water will be used as raw water for the proposed water supply
scheme. Hence, it is proposed to use only Chlorination as the treatment
Process.
Present Population: There are 2555 people will have access to safe drinking water as tabulated
below. Beneficiaries
Problem Limited facilities are available in this area to obtain good quality water in
required amount mainly dry seasons .Under these areas there are no pipe
born water supply scheme available in these areas right now.
Proposal
Proposed Treatment Process: Ground water will be used as raw water for
the proposed water supply scheme. Hence, it is proposed to use only
Chlorination as the treatment Process.
Proposed Components of the scheme: 225m3 Ground Sump plant High
Lift Pump house & Chlorination Arrangement 225 m3 water tower
Proposed Transmission /Distribution lengths & sizes:
Transmission –Length 3 km (Approx), 160 mm dia, uPVC (T1000)
Distribution – Total Length 15 km (Approx)
-160 mm u PVC – 3 km (Approx)
-110 mm u PVC – 4 km (Approx)
-90 mm u PVC – 8 km (Approx)
Expected New connections: Total population of the area is 2555 from 608 families. Therefore,
immediate expected connections would be 500.
