Description

The project aims to provide reliable water supply to the 10,100 residents of A’llar and Saida towns in Tulkarem District. This will be achieved through construction of main pipelines, reservoirs, boosters; internal water networks and house connections. Towards completion of this project, 1800 new households will be able to enjoy a reliable supply of fresh and potable water. Moreover, this project will increase the per capita water consumption to 100-110 l/capita/day which will improve the overall well being of the population and contribute towards their resilience and to the overall development of the region.

The overall aim of the project is to provide reliable water supply to the 10,100 residents of A’llar and Saida towns in Tulkarem District.

Project Outputs

• The availability of water per capita, for 10,100 residents will rise reaching to 100-110 L/Capita/Day.
  • The quality of water supply is improved (Municipal water supply is chlorinated and monitored)
  • The overall wellbeing of the beneficiaries, residents Allar and Saida, is improved and particularly their health status.
  • The health status of the Palestinian residents of Allar and Saida (10,100 residents) will be improved as a result of improved water quality
  • The potential development of the whole area of including other sectors such as agriculture and industry, will be improved substantially.
  • The economic situation of the beneficiaries is improved due to generation of employment; Over 26,667 employment days will be generated for unemployed workers in the West Bank. As the project involves mainly construction works the labor percentage of the total construction is estimated at around 20% (direct/Indirect). At an estimated average labor-day wage of US$ 18 (non skilled-skilled labor), the number of work days to be created will be around 26,667.
