TA 7001-BAN: Management Support for Dhaka Water Supply and Sewerage Authority (Individual Consultants recruited through firm)

Objectives:

Dhaka Water and Sewerage Authority (DWASA) had approximately 2500 km of Water Supply pipeline network under its control, conveying 1794 MLD of potable water through 3 Surface treatment Plants and approximately 485 tube wells. The water supply system of the city was characterized by high non-revenue. water (NRW), inadequate and intermittent supply coupled with frequent leakages. This had resulted in low customer confidence on DWASA. Overdependence on the ground water along with high rate of failure of tube wells to maintain the discharge, frequent replacement of pumps, old and weary distribution system calling for constant repair had resulted in a situation that needed to be urgently addressed.  In order to redress the issues, DWASA, with assistance from Asian Development Bank (ADB) was implementing Dhaka Water Supply Sector Development Project (DWSSDP) with specific emphasis on improving water supply for the city dwellers. This TA project was an effort to identify the reasons for recurrent failure of tube wells and pumps and recommend ways for their sustainable and economic performance in the long run.
