  • 6) Water Fetching from Other Village Is a Heavy Burden to the Villagers from the Physical, Mental, and Economic Point of Views
    The Study on Water Supply Systems in Mandalay City and in the Central Dry Zone Part III Study for the Central Dry Zone 6) Water fetching from other village is a heavy burden to the villagers from the physical, mental, and economic point of views. Therefore most of the villagers want to have at least one tube well in their own village. 7) Cost of fuel for pump operation imposes a burden on the villagers. Therefore villagers try the most economical pump operation. It is easily anticipated that even after completion of a tube well they may continue the same water use manners, and use the well during the most drought months, otherwise they have to fetch water from the other villages. 8) In case that a tube well already functions in village, the water committee, which is organized among the villagers, operates and maintains the tube well. The almost villagers are satisfied with it. However, to secure more sustainable operation of the system, trainings for equipment operation and accounting manners including saving a maintenance cost for the equipment shall be given periodically to villagers in charge. 2.3.2 Selection of 22 Test Well Construction Site Selection of villages for test well construction was conducted in consideration of the following aspects of the 10 villages selected in each Township. - Results of survey on water utilization condition of each village - Results of analysis on existing data and survey of geophysical prospecting - Presumption of water quality and quantity of groundwater from the actual condition of the existing wells located in neighboring villages - Evaluation of socio-economic condition - Accessibility of road for drilling machine to drive into village The evaluations based on the above work for each village are shown in Table 2.3.2.1 (1)-(6).
