1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 General Background

UNHCR leads international action to protect people forced to flee their homes, delivering life- saving assistance like shelter, food and water to help safeguard fundamental human rights and ensuring safety and dignity.

Uganda is among the largest refugee hosting countries in the world. By February 2016, it was estimated that Uganda was hosting over 510,000 refugees from various countries in the region. By March 2017, it was estimated that there were over 925,000 refugees in Uganda; making it a growth rate of 55% per year.

Estimates from UNHCR put the current refugee population in Uganda at over 1.2 million people. 51% of these are female and 49% male; children make 56% of the refugee population and women and children combined make 79% of the refugee population in Uganda.

Since July 2016, the South Sudan refugee emergency situation in Uganda has dramatically peaked. The country has received a historic single largest refugee influx from South Sudan with a total of 674,033 new refugee arrivals in Uganda in 2016 until the end of March 2017. The South Sudan refugee population hosted by Uganda has more than tripled in comparison with the end-2015 population, reaching a total of 898,864 South Sudan refugees in the country as of April 2017.

1.2 Project Area - Bidi Bidi

Bidi Bidi settlement is located in Yumbe district, in West Nile. Bidi Bidi is also located in the Upper Nile Water Management Zone (WMZ) in line with the demarcations undertaken by the Ministry of Water and Environment (MoWE), for purposes of managing water resources at catchment level.

Bidi Bidi is host to the largest number of refugees from South Sudan. Bidi Bidi covers approximately 234.097 Km2. For ease of management, Bidibidi settlement is divided into five discontinuous areas named as Zones 1 to 5 that are located to the north-east, east, and south-east of Yumbe town as is shown in Figure 1. Zones 3, 4, and 5 are split into smaller subzones.

Zone 1 is located in Romogi sub-county, Zone 2 in Kochi, Zone 3 is located in Kululu, Zone 4 in Odravu and Zone 5 in Ariwa sub-county. The layout maps of these settlements are attached as Annex 1.

The total receiving capacity for Bidi Bidi settlement is 287,301 people as is shown in the settlement map. This number represents an estimated 67,046 households. The estimated population ratio of the refugees to the host District community stood at 33% as at May 2017.

Page 4 of 21

Bidibidi settlement hosts 34 Primary Schools with a total enrollment of 53,553 pupils and 576 teachers, and 5 Secondary schools with a total enrollment of 5,273 pupils and 58 teachers. In addition, Bidibidi has 16 Health Centres –Grade III, majority of which are temporary structures. There is ongoing construction for permanent health and school facilties in the settlements.

There are already small scale economic activities in the settlements such as agriculture, tailoring and small shops.

1.3 Water Situation in Yumbe District

From the MoWE Water supply database 2017, Yumbe has 912 domestic water points which serve a total of 266,307 people – 240,074 in rural areas. 177 water points have been non- functional for over 5 years and are considered abandoned. Yumbe has 1 piped schemes.

The main sources of water include deep boreholes that serve up to 81% of the population, shallow wells serving 14%, protected springs serving 3% and public taps serving 1%.

Figure 2 shows the functionality of the point water sources in the 13 counties in Yumbe district. The functionality is computed as the ratio of functional water sources to all water sources

Page 5 of 21

Figure 2: Functionality of point water sources Yumbe. Source:MoWE Database

The main reasons for non-functionality of the water systems in Yumbe are as follows: i. Low yield accounting for 27% of the non-functionality, ii. Technical breakdown that accounts for 31%, iii. Water quality accounting for 4%, iv. Leakages that accounts for 4%, v. Use of alternative nearby sources accounting for 11%, vi. Vandalism that accounts for 23% These failure factors should be considered during this study.

1.4 Water Supply Situation in Bidi Bidi Settlement

UNHCR currently has two implementing partners within Bidi Bidi settlement namely Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) and Oxfam. In addition, there are over 20 operating partners. These partners have together with UNHCR undertaken several interventions towards the delivery of water for the refugees with some of these systems supplying the host communities as well.

In summary, the water supply options for Bidi Bidi settlement include hand pumps that are currently supplying 30% of the water, tap stands supplying 43% and water trucking which is very expensive, difficult to implement during the rainy season due to impassible roads and unsustainable supplying 27%.

Overall, the reported water coverage ranges from 15.4-18.9 l/c/d. This is still below the required minimum supply of 20l/c/d. It should however be noted that many of the water systems were drilled during emergency without adequate ground water assessments being undertaken, and some of the systems were improperly installed. The details of the water supply to each of the settlement zones is detailed in Table 1.

Table 1: Current Water Supply to Bidi Bidi Source: UNHCR Report December 2017

From the above list, there are some high yielding motorized boreholes for example in Zone 2 generating approximately 32m3/hr; the artesian well in Zone 4 yielding an estimated 35m3/hr with plans underway to have it motorized. It is also reported that there are 2 high yielding systems in Zone 5, which overall has been reported as highly water stressed.

The main source of power for the motorized systems includes diesel and solar systems. The diesel generators are run when there isn’t sufficient solar energy to drive the solar systems.

Additional information from the Bidi Bidi sustainable water supply facilities report November 2017 by UNHCR (Annex 2) details the following ongoing/planned interventions:

Page 7 of 21

 There are 8 piped water systems ongoing that together will yield 1740m3/day  There are 5 planned piped water systems that will together yield 900m3/day

Overall, the settlement has numerous boreholes drilled, additional ongoing or planned in all the 5 zones. Some of these systems are functional, others non-functional and the status of others are yet to be confirmed. Several of these boreholes are using hand pumps and are reported as low yielding and with some boreholes failing. This situation prompted UNHCR to hire experts to undertake hydrogeological investigations to guide these interventions. These reports are attached as Annex 3 to this ToR.

1.4.1 Water Quality

Water samples obtained from boreholes (mainly hand pumps) during a UNHCR commissioned study on Ground Water potential (2016) (Annex 3) indicated that the water in the project area is mostly clean and of good quality. The District Water Office reports indicated that most borehole water in Bidibidi has a pH in the range 6.5+/- 0.5, the Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) were well within the fresh water range of up to 1000 ppm and EC up to 2000 μS/cm. There was however some turbidity and indication of iron noted.

However, a bacteriological analyses during a study by Milnes (2017) revealed a high degree of contamination at all tap stands and water points supplied by storage tanks. Hand pumps did not reveal any contamination. These results will have to be further investigation during this study and the challenges addressed for purposes of sustainability. The probable reasons for this trend can be the placement of latrines too close to boreholes hence creating potential threat contamination, and the mode of treatment and mixing of chlorine that is done manually.

1.5 Studies undertaken on the Water Resources potential in the Project Area

The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) Assignment Report on current Groundwater Exploration and Borehole Drilling Projects for the Refugee Camps Yumbe (BIDIBIDI) van der Berg & Soulsby (2016) established that:

i. The existing water supplies from all available sources still fall short of refugee settlements requirements in both project areas ii. Most NGO partners engaged in siting, drilling, testing, and recording of boreholes in the two project areas have not been carrying out their work in an entirely professional manner. iii. The report indicates that Deep groundwater resources (aquifers) occur in Bidibidi predominantly in two zones: 1, the lower regolith and upper weathered basement; Zone 2, Joint/fracture/eroded crevasse systems within the fresh bedrock. iv. An adequate amount of groundwater resource exists to supply the refugee settlements, provided that the resource is properly managed. v. High yielding boreholes in this area is that they are located on drainage lines that follow or intersect lineaments representing significant basement fractures. vi. Increased water abstraction due to the refugee population in Bidibidi and Rhino Camp wouldn’t have a major negative impact on the regional water balance but there is need to monitor the groundwater levels and abstraction rates to avoid local depletion

Page 8 of 21

The detailed report is attached as Annex 3 of the ToR.

A follow on study was undertaken. A hydrogeological mission was carried out in March-April 2017, with the main objective of supporting the UNHCR operation in the groundwater exploration and monitoring efforts. This mission in West Nile by Ellen Milnes (May 2017) followed from the recommendation in the above report by van der Berg & Soulsby to have monitoring of ground water resources to avoid depletion.

A key output from this study was the groundwater potential map. This map is to serve as a practical tool to improve the planning and coordination of drilling activities by the partners and also the management of water resources. The ground water map is attached.

Additional findings are as below: i. In the Bidibidi-Rhino area two fundamentally different groundwater domains are distinguished: the fractured and the porous aquifer domains, which are clearly highlighted on the groundwater potential map.

ii. The study revealed that 90% of the settlement surface area in the fractured aquifer domain is characterised by ‘low groundwater potential’ indicating the low potential to have successful water systems in these areas.

iii. There were also several operational steps developed to be followed while using the ground water map and this included the identification of settlement demand vs ground water potential, overlaying demand and ground water potential maps, identification of highest demand/priority against the potential sources, prioritization etc.

iv. Additionally, a bacteriological analyses during this study revealed a high degree of contamination at all tap stands and water points supplied by storage tanks. Hand pumps did not reveal any contamination (also highlighted under Section 1.5 above).

The above recommendations can be further explored during this study. The detailed study reports are attached as Annex 4 of this ToR.

1.6 MoWE planned interventions and connection to this study MoWE plans to undertake a project entitled “Water and Sanitation provision for Refugees and Host Communities in Northern Uganda” to be funded by World Bank. The objective of the project is to improve the sustainable provision of safe water and sanitation services to the host communities and refugee population in the Refugee Host Districts through provision of sustainable safe water and sanitation services, and management and protection of water source catchments. The project includes the following objectives:

i. To increase safe water coverage in refugee host communities and settlements ii. To improve sanitation status in refugee host communities and settlements iii. To improve food productivity through micro irrigation in host communities and settlements iv. To conserve and restore water source catchments

The project targets 567,450 host community members and 170,235 refugees in the districts of Arua, Lamwo, Yumbe, Moyo and Adjumani. The project duration is planned as 5 years.

The consultant shall therefore make due consideration to the connection of the system designed under this study to above mentioned project under MoWE.

1.7 Problem Statement and Justification for the study

There is still a deficit in the water required to meet the demands of the current population. The situation will be exacerbated with increased demands resulting from growing population in the settlements and host community over time, seasonal availability of water especially ground water, challenges with water quality resulting from contamination and depletion/system failure resulting from uncontrolled abstraction and improper installation of water facilities. The uncontrolled abstraction can also have serious environmental consequences in the long run.

There is need to develop a framework and strategic direction to ensure provision of safe water meeting medium to long term demands (25 year horizon), in a sustainable and integrated manner for the refugees, the host communities while also meeting environmental requirements. To ensure the timely deliverable of the assignment, UNHCR the lead refugee agency is partnering with UNOPS. And also as part of this process, the services of a consultancy firm is to be engaged. The consultant is to note that for the sustainability of the solutions proposed, the proposed approach for system development will take into account Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) principles. As part of this, the consultant shall therefore make due consideration to the catchment management plans developed by the MoWE that have already incorporated the use of adaptive water resources management for the various water catchments in Uganda.

1.8 Project Objective

The main objective of this study is to formulate a comprehensive and sustainable water supply system(s) layout/master plan for Bidibidi Refugee Settlement and the neighboring host communities in Yumbe. The proposed system will meet the medium to long term(25 year horizon) water demand. IWRM principles are to be considered in the development of this system.

The study shall include feasibility study, preliminary and detailed design with the aim of proposing an integrated water supply system(s) for Bidi Bidi and neighboring host communities.

The proposed system shall meet mid to long term demands for water. The study may also consider works/recommendations from previous studies already undertaken in the settlements that can be utilized in meeting this demand.

The works shall primarily be in two stages and deliver the following:
