Abstract
While conducting this research first, initial assessment and field observation,
consultation with different officials and concerned bodies was carried out to
visualize the status and shortage of water in Durame town. Based on walk over
survey, measured data, and information from different stakeholders, it is
observed that the town has critical water shortage and system problem in the
distribution and ancillary works. This water shortage problem has hindered
individual endeavors, micro-enterprises, hotels, institution and investments etc.
which are without or meager water supply. In this paper institutional,
socioeconomic, environmental and technical related problems are assessed and
discussed in detail. In light of the major identified problems recommendation are
suggested. It is proposed that redesigning the existing distribution system by
considering the proposed source as input; managing the proposed and the
existing well field from potential pollutant; developing and implementing
appropriate organizational structure parallel to the system can correct the
problem.
