Water safety plan bangladesh
The document summarizes the process of developing and piloting water safety plans (WSPs) in Bangladesh. Model WSPs were developed for various rural water supply technologies through expert workshops. These plans and accompanying community monitoring tools were then piloted by several organizations, including NGOs and DPHE. The results of the pilots showed improvements in water quality and sanitation. Communities responded positively and saw benefits. Based on the success, WSPs are being scaled up nationally in Bangladesh to improve water safety.
Water safety plans & catchment management
This document discusses the development of a methodology to incorporate impacts of climate variability and change, specifically floods and droughts, into basin planning processes. The project aims to improve the ability of water managers in transboundary basins to address implications of increased extreme weather events in plans like Transboundary Diagnostic Analyses, Strategic Action Plans, Integrated Water Resources Management plans, and Water Safety Plans. The methodology will use decision support systems and tools to integrate flood and drought information. The project will develop a generic methodology and test it in pilot basins while also consulting other basins.

WSP_Payden
Water Safety Plans (WSPs) are being implemented in various countries in South-East Asia to improve access to safe drinking water and reduce waterborne diseases. WSPs involve identifying hazards and risks from catchment to consumer, prioritizing the highest risks, and mitigating risks through control measures. The key drivers for WSPs are the WHO guidelines emphasizing risk assessment and management, and the need to prevent the majority of diarrheal diseases through safe water and hygiene. Countries that have implemented WSPs have seen benefits like improved water quality, reduced waterborne diseases, and more sustainable water supply systems.
2. Integrated Catchment Management - Vision
This presentation was given as part of the EPA-funded Catchment Science and Management Course focusing on Integrated Catchment Management, held in June 2015. This course was delivered by RPS Consultants. If you have any queries or comments, or wish to use the material in this presentation, please contact catchments@epa.ie
It is increasingly being recognised internationally that integrated catchment management (ICM) is a useful organising framework for tackling the ongoing challenge of balancing sustainable use and development of our natural resource, against achieving environmental goals. The basic principles of ICM (Williams, 2012) are to:
• Take a holistic and integrated approach to the management of land, biodiversity, water and community resources at the water catchment scale;
• Involve communities in planning and managing their landscapes; and
• Find a balance between resource use and resource conservation
ICM is now well established in Australia, New Zealand, and the United States. In Europe the ICM approach has been proposed as being required to achieve effective water and catchment management, and is the approach being promoted by DEFRA for the UK, where it is called the “Catchment Based Approach” (CaBA). The principles and methodologies behind ICM sit well within the context of the Water Framework Directive with its aims and objectives for good water quality, sustainable development and public participation in water resource management. In Ireland it is proposed that the ICM approach will underlie the work and philosophy in developing and implementing future River Basin Management Plans.

Water Safety Plans (WSPs) are risk management processes for drinking water suppliers to ensure safe water quality. WSPs involve assembling a team to develop the plan, assessing the water supply system to identify hazards, determining control measures to mitigate risks, and creating an improvement plan. They can be applied to various water supply systems, including major city water as well as rural and community-managed systems. Different organizations, such as governments, donors, NGOs and academia can support WSPs.Academia session: John Chilton, International Association of Hydrogeologists,...
The UPGRo Programme provides funding for research partnerships between academic researchers and field practitioners focused on groundwater and international development. It requires multi-disciplinary approaches and knowledge dissemination. The featured project examines the 20-40% failure rate of rural handpumps in developing countries within 2 years, representing a $1.2 billion cumulative cost. The project analyzes failed pumps, boreholes and water quality across sites to identify symptoms, causal factors and underlying conditions contributing to supply failures. Common issues found include low water pH and quality from galvanized iron materials, inappropriate borehole designs, and lack of community maintenance capacity. Deeper underlying root causes include entrenched practices in implementing agencies, lack of technical capacity and understanding of local ground

Strategic Environmental Assessment
The document discusses using strategic environmental assessment (SEA) as a tool for managing the transboundary Chenab River Basin between India and Pakistan. It summarizes factors for successful SEA of the Mekong and Mara rivers, including agreements between countries and stakeholder participation. While the Chenab shares some success factors like monitoring stations, cooperation between India and Pakistan is limited compared to other basins. The study concludes SEA could provide recommendations but was only partially effective for other basins due to lack of implementation.

• Take a holistic and integrated approach to the management of land, biodiversity, water and community resources at the water catchment scale;
• Involve communities in planning and managing their landscapes; and
• Find a balance between resource use and resource conservation
ICM is now well established in Australia, New Zealand, and the United States. In Europe the ICM approach has been proposed as being required to achieve effective water and catchment management, and is the approach being promoted by DEFRA for the UK, where it is called the “Catchment Based Approach” (CaBA). The principles and methodologies behind ICM sit well within the context of the Water Framework Directive with its aims and objectives for good water quality, sustainable development and public participation in water resource management. In Ireland it is proposed that the ICM approach will underlie the work and philosophy in developing and implementing future River Basin Management Plans.
