This Book is a Report & Observation in Three Parts of the Drinking water provisions in the areas of Bharuch district, located in the southern part of Gujarat, near the Gulf of Khambhat in Arabian Sea.

Because of high concentration of industries (such as chemical, petrochemical, engineering, ports and shop building) as well as due to nearness to the coastline, drinking water is one of the major problems in the district. The District Administration had an innovative programme of installing Reverse Osmosis (RO) plants besides other provisional projects for providing drinking water in all the villages of Bharuch district.

A2 – A14

The selection of R.O intervention as a major stakes performer was a part of a multi-tier systematic strategy, developed after an extensive survey by the district officials, led by DDO, Bharuch, and intensive interactions with the beneficiaries for the whole of Bharuch district. Since there was no such scheme for R.O. water intervention and therefore no ready funds, it was the committed efforts of DDO that there was convergence of different existing schemes wherein untapped fund from all the different water and sanitation projects (Government / Private / Social welfare) were mobilized to ensure the innovative idea sees the light of day and make it a success.

Thus at the project conception stage, a multi-stage planning-process was designed wherein Hansot Taluka was selected as a priority. Buoyed by the positive response of the intervention in Hansot Taluka, the district administration successfully proceeded with the implementation of the second and third stages.

The 1st Phase of the programme devised by DDO, Bharuch, Dr Rajender Kumar, IAS wherein the villages of Hansot taluka were provided with RO Plants. The quality of water in the taluka varied from highly saline to moderate saline. The TDS varying from 896 ppm to 4675 ppm in the entire taluka with an average of 2280 ppm indicating that the available water is not fit for drinking purposes except in some villages. To begin with an Equi-TDS map is drawn to study the quality of water in details in the area Hansot area, results indicating that the provisional drinking water in the whole Hansot taluka is not fit for human consumption.

The water samples analysed by the study team after the monsoon indicated high degree of mixing of saltwater with fresh water and the reduction of TDS considerably in the area. This event is very short and cannot be depended on long term basis for the provision of drinking water. However, this indicates that people would not use much of RO plant during the monsoon period. This time can be utilized for maintaining and repairs of the same.

A detailed study was conducted by ‘Rajeev Gandhi National Drinking Water Mission’ (Comment Unaudible), which found 100 villages/habitation having inadequate facility of water supply and 146 villages/habitation having acute water quality problem in 2003, which was systematically addressed over this time, however there were gaps even after these efforts. To address this situation, a systematic survey and source mapping was done in 2008 by the district team on adequacy of drinking water supply and quality of water. The major parameter studies were per-capita water availability from various sources in the village / habitat on qualitative aspects, TDS, Nitrate and

Thus assessing the problem and looking at the then current Drinking water scenario source mapping was done : wherein

A) Adequacy of the water supply to given villagesB) Overall quality of the water availableC) TDS, Nitrate & Fluoride levelsD) Infrastructure mapping to assess (Availability & infra gaps in the supply

were checked)

The best practical solution was sought for. The task included not just multiple fund diversions and management to a singular resource focus but also synergising of different water supply sources and changing the then position of drinking water to an edible and drinkable source.

This is when the Bharuch District Development Office made combination of efforts & resources possible by combining programs like Swajaldhara / GWSSB & other schemes available to the state in planning for project funds and workings.

The success of the 1st Phase in Hansot initiated the 2nd phase of workings in the District, wherein RO Plants and Nikora based water supplies where kicked off under the supervision of DDO Bharuch. The involvement and support of major


industries in the area, such as GNFC & ONGC was also attained for relieving the cost factor which comes with such a infrastructural execution.

The benefits of RO Plant installation are clearly visible, since surveys done after the 1st phase in the villages where RO Plant installation showed that instances like stone in gall-bladder, stomach pain and skin-disease had reduced. As per observation of Community Health Care Centre, Hansot, the instances of waterborne diseases have reduced by 30-35%. Besides these R.O water is highly helpful in proper & fast cooking of food.

Besides these, a fixed convenient timing for water supply has led in better planning of day-schedule for womenfolk for engaging in livelihood or any village or recreational activity, since distribution of water at convenient timings these particular villagers. Also social causes and increased level of social commitment like Free supply of RO water to schools & anganwadi going children, the time cost particularly of the girl child for fetching water has reduced.

Looking at the benefits it was clearly identified as an asset and recommended for being maintained and sustained for longer time. Thus Six sigma / SWOT analyses was done to boost not just the installation but also the maintenance factors of these RO Plants. Thus after further analyses it is proposed that the use of R.O. be increased to about 70% of households, the maintenance of the RO Plants is recovered. Subsequently, the use of R.O water can be further increased so that in the longer run cost of the RO plants is also recovered. The Benefit cost Ratio (BCR) works out to be about 1.04 and the Internal Rate of Return (IRR) is about 21 % indicating the installation of R.P plants is technically feasible as well as economically viable provided at least 73 % of the Households use the same.

Points worked upon on a Lean Six Sigma level of delivery to the end users wherein all factors natural and otherwise were measured and incorporated in the planning. Such as:

• Scientific drainage system for disposal of R.O. wastage water should be established.• It should be ensured that water filtration plant room and surrounding is hygienic.• There should be differential rate of water charges for economically backward (especially BPL category) sections of the society to encourage them under the ambit of RO water scheme.


• Based on Panchayat rules and regulation, bank account of Pani Samiti should be separated and it should be ensured that the finance is utilized only on maintenance and management of R.O. Plant.• At least one women member should be there in the Bank account as authorized signatories.• There should be a practice of rotation of members of Pani Samiti periodically, as per panchayat rules.• Registers and other essential inventory should be maintained and managed properly by the Pani Samiti.• Extensive Training to the operators for RO system maintenance, TDS setting and filter change etc. of R.O. Plant• The motivational training should be provided to all Pani Samiti Members to sensitize them about their role and responsibilities; and encourage and ensure their active participation in rural water supply system• The scientific rain water harvesting system should be promoted as alternative source of enhancing drinking water security in the villages• The electricity connection to the R.O. Plants be supplied at differential rates (lower rates) rather than commercial charges• The enlightened village youth should be trained and encouraged as Mechanic, in a cluster of 8-10 villages for providing regular technical support and facilitating community-based maintenance and management system• The damaged water tank should be reconstructed and villages lacking water tank facility should get these tanks constructed.• The water pipe line with valve system should be put, according to the geographical condition of village. Also the booster system sucking extra water through motor pump should be banned so that water can be supplied equally and forcefully.• During summer water, there is need to ensure that canal water reaches ponds in remote villages to ensure the perennial source of water for R.O. system.

SIX SIGMA

A Quality improvement system with a great deal of emphasis on accountability & bottom-line results – Many companies use Six Sigma management to improve efficiency and eliminate defects. It also helps in reducing costs

Six Sigma comes from the managerial approach designed to create processes that result in no more than 3.4 defects per million. One of the important characteristics of Six Sigma is a clear focus on achieving bottom-line results in a relatively short period. Initially, only a few companies adopted Six Sigma in their organizations. However, after seeing the success at these companies, other companies worldwide have instituted Six Sigma management programs.

Why you need to do Six Sigma? Six Sigma can cut waste and save money. Consider how much money could be saved by eliminating potential defects and the resulting scrap and warranty returns. Time and money may be wasted in corrective actions and delays. Also consider the image those results from product failures for the customer. In order to determine the waste, you need to understand what adds value to your product and what does not.

One way to know how good you are doing is to compare your operation to similar ones elsewhere, as a benchmark. If there are similar operations in your organization, then bench marking will be easier.


Six Sigma Costs and SavingsOne can't expect to significantly reduce costs and increase sales using Six Sigma without investing in training, organizational infrastructure and culture evolution. Sure you can reduce costs and increase sales in a localized area of a business using the

Six Sigma quality methodology. For Example,

* Motorola adopted Six Sigma in1987. In 1988, Motorola won its first Baldridge Award.

"Companies of all types and sizes are in the midst of a quality revolution. GE saved $12 billion over five years and added $1 to its earnings per share. Honeywell (AlliedSignal) recorded more than $800 million in savings."

"GE produces annual benefits of over $2.5 billion across the organization from Six Sigma."

"Motorola reduced manufacturing costs by $1.4 billion from 1987-1994."

"Six Sigma reportedly saved Motorola $15 billion over the last 11 years."

Criteria for selecting a Six Sigma project (by Suresh J)

(Extract from : http://forum.benchmarksixsigma.com/discussion/topic/show/141151)

1. Strategic Importance : A project that solves critical problems for the company will not only benefit the company but also ensure that company management will support the project and provide resources to ensure its success.

2. Root Cause Solution Unknown : It is important to pick a problem that does not already have a known root cause or solution. If the solution is known, just go ahead and implement it. Don't waste Six Sigma resources to identify the root cause and come up with the same solution.

3. Chronic Issue : Select a problem that is a chronic issue (happens often). If you pick a problem that only occurs once and will not repeat, there is no point in spending time to develop a solution if it never happens again. Also, it would be difficult to collect past data to analyze the causes because the problem occurred only once in the past.

4. Well Managed Scope : Select a project that can be completed in a reasonable period of time. The

project that you pick should be in your control. You should be able to make the recommended changes

in order to improve the process. If things are not in your control, then it would be difficult to deploy your

project recommendations and hence complete the project.


HISTORY & SUCCESSFUL EXECUTION

Impact of Drinking Water Schemes Implemented by Government of Gujarat

Fresh water availability per annum, per person average in India is 2000 cubic meters. While in Gujarat it is 1137 cubic meters. District Bharuch, having 8 talukas and 1.3 million population, although situated on the banks of river Narmada, is a typical alluvial coastal area with TDS level, varying from 896 ppm -to- 4675 ppm, making it unfit for drinking water purposes

Sample


The Population Factor : The population of Hansot taluka of Bharuch district is in the order of 68782 as ofyear 2001, which would increase to about 102006 by the year 2021 with a growthrate of 2 %. The water requirement of the taluka would be in the order of 1.49 mcm/year @ of 40 LPCD. As the total area falls in the saline area, at least pure drinkingwater @ of 5 lpcd has to be provided for drinking purposes. This would be in theorder of 0.187 mcm/year.

--

A detailed study was conducted in about 10 villages to know present scenario of drinking water situation in the villages of Hansot taluka of Bharuch district. About 200 people were contacted and the detailed discussions were held and the information was collected regarding the present position of drinking water supply vis-a-vis their requirement as well other social aspects of the villages. The data has been analysed with Statistical package SPSS and the results are broadly as under.

• The sources of water supply include, hand pumps, wells, tap tanks, canals etc. Wherein — The majority of the villages are not fitted with Hand pumps and even where they are installed, they are not properly working.— The majority of the villages have more than three wells for drinking water supply but only about 2 wells work on an average.

• 78 % of the villages get water supply every day. In the remaining villages, there is no fixed schedule of getting drinking water. In about 10 % of the cases, people get twice in a day.

• The water is supplied mainly in the morning while in some places; the water is supplied both in morning and evening.

• 52 % of the time, the water is supplied about less than one hour while 36 % of the time the water is supplied about 1 to 2 hours.


• About 70 % of respondents opined that they are getting adequate water for drinking purposes.A few suggestions for its successful implementation RO plants as well as general drinking water schemes in the villages are given below:

The recommendations based on the field experience for improving the effectiveness of implementation of RO plants as well as general drinking water schemes in the villages are summarized below.

• Sustainability of R.O. intervention: It is proposed that if the use of R.O. is increased to about 70% of households, the maintenance of the RO Plants is recovered. Subsequently, the use of R.O water can be further increased so that the cost of the RO plants is also recovered. The Benefit cost Ratio (BCR) works out to be about 1.04 and the Internal Rate of Return (IRR) is about 21 % indicating the installation of R.P plants is technically feasible as well as economically viable provided at least 73 % of the Households use the same.


The Drinking Water Scenario

• Fresh water availability per annum, per person, in India is 2000 cubic meters.

• While in Gujarat State it is 1137 cubic meters.

• District Bharuch, having 8 talukas and 1.3 million population, although situated on the banks of Narmada river, is a typical alluvial coastal area with TDS level, varying from 896 ppm -to- 4675 ppm, making it unfit for drinking water purposes.

• Shallow water tables in the area, has severe drinking water problem, particularly in coastal Hansot Taluka, consisting of 46 villages. All of which were found having TDS level average 2280 ppm, indicating that the available water is not fit for drinking.

• The survey conducted by ‘Rajeev Gandhi National Drinking Water Mission’ found 100 villages /habitation having inadequate facility of water supply & 146 villages/habitation having acute water quality problem.

1.) TDS: Total Dissolved Solids are the total amount of mobile charged ions, including minerals, salts or metals dissolved in a given volume of water, expressed in units of mg per unit volume of water (mg/L), also referred to as parts per million (ppm). TDS is directly related to the purity of water and the quality of water purification systems and affects everything that consumes, lives in, or uses water, whether organic or inorganic, whether for better or for worse.

2.) PPM: Parts Per Million is the weight-to-weight ratio of any ion to water.

3.) RO: Reverse Osmosis works by forcing water under great pressure against a semi-permeable membrane that allows water molecules to pass through while excluding most contaminants. RO is the most thorough method of large-scale water purification available.
