WATER FOR PEOPLE

Considering that the available drinking water supplies in the inadequate water supply system represent a health hazard and the existing sewerage facilities along with industrial effluents are degrading the water resources, the FFA has its objective, the provision of an adequate supply of safe drinking water along the provision of treatment facilities for waste waters which would avoid adverse impacts.

While following the principles of IWRM, relating to polices, management instruments, institutions and pricing the FFA proposes the following immediate actions.

  • Extend and improve the water supply to systems while ensuring adherence to water quality standards
  • protect the rural water supply sources from contamination
  • Treat sewage and industrial waste waters to acceptable standards before disposal into waterways or water bodies.
  • Avoid waste of water through demand management.
