PRESENTATION ON EXPERIENCE OF APPLICATION OF CDF ON MEDIUM SCALE SCHEMES, CASE OF GOCHOR GRAVITY SPRING RURAL WATER SUPPLY SYSTEM,by B.A Womber FA JUNE/2013Finn-WASH BG

Gochor Kebele, is located at 25km to the south east of the Woreda capital, Debre Zeit.

Gochor Mender-And village is one of the village of Gochor Kebele with a location of Northing UTM 1161172 and Easting 36p 0790487

The altitude is 1992m above sea level

BACKGROUND:

It is in a valley surrounded by the escarpments of high mountains like Mekello to the north, Tulu Aba Roro in the south, east and west.

The elevation difference between Mender-And, Gochor Kebele and the Debre Zeit town is about 502m.

The climate is moderate (classified as woyina dega.)

BACKGROUND:

• The settlement of the community is in scattered pattern except in Mende -And village where governmental institutions like school, health post and agricultural center are located.

• Some groups of tukuls are located along the pipeline route from the eyes of the springs which are located at the foot of Tulu Aba Roro Mountain

• The main economic activity is agriculture/ both crop production and animal husbandry./

BACKGROUND:

As the area is located at the foot of the surrounding mountains, most villages and gotts are using traditional springs as their main water supply.

Abange and Lega Jima springs (referred to as spring 1 and 2 respectively developed with Finn-WASH BG program) are good examples of these springs

BACKGROUND:

• These two springs are located to the south of the villages with an average altitude of 2233m ASL

• The elevation difference between these two springs and Gochor Mender-And where most governmental institutions are found is 241m.

• The nearby river is Abagonbo River that drains to Abay River.

BACKGROUND:

BACKGROUND:

CLIMATE OF THE AREA The area is in a valley and hence

has a moderate temperature. The region as a whole has average

annual temperature of 25-35c0

annual rain fall of 900-1450mm. The climate is classified under

woyina dega.

BACKGROUND:

MAIN ECONOMIC ACTIVITYThe main economic activity of the area

- mixed agriculture. Both crop production and animal

husbandry.Small scale irrigation during the dry

season is common.. Open channels constructed along the

contours of the surrounding mountains to……

BACKGROUND:

Because of the availability of various springs emanating from the nearby mountains, crop production is carried out twice a year.

Coffee is the main cash crop. Traditional mining of gold is also additional

activity carried out in the vicinity of the area particularly in the Valley of Abay River.

Trading of commodities like sisal, coffee and gold is carried out by local merchants and others coming from Debre Zeit.

BACKGROUND:

POPULATION The Gochor Kebele consists of various villages such

as Mender-And, Bone, Abamargo, and Abirna The Kebele has a population of 506 households The Gochor Mender-And and Aba Roro villages

who have been served by this gravity water scheme have a current population of 110 households

The community at Aba Roro village is a transit community where the main gravity pipe line was laid through their village.

Currently Village Abamorgo is applying to WASHCO to get water from this scheme as per “ by law”.

BACKGROUND:

Gover. & Public INSTITUTION primary and secondary school at

Mender-And with student population of 667

One health postOne veterinary clinicOne church 25km dry weather road done by community that

had helped a lot during transport of construction material.

BACKGROUND:

The distance b/n two springs is about 168m draining to their own sub-catchment

The distance between the springs and the last village where most people are living is a maximum of 2km.

There is no access road for mobilizing the construction materials to the springs where capping is going to be done. /donkeys were used as means of/

The location of the springs

• The two proposed springs emerge from the foot of the mountain/Tulu-Abaroro/

• The distance between the top of the mountain and the spring eyes is not more than 300 meters

• Part of upstream catchment area around these springs is ploughed by the farmers. Therefore, in future erosion will be accelerated leading to land degradation unless integrated watershed management is practiced

• The yield of springsLega Jima spring is 0.7 lt/sec Abange spring is 0.5 lt/sec Total 1.2 lit/sec

Awareness on CDF was done as usual during planning phase & early first year of implementation.

Application came from community as usual

Appraisal: both desk and field appraisal was done. No special appraising technique was used.

EXPERIENCE ON Implementation procedures
