Reviewing context specific WASH services design & BoQ and hardware implementation plan for building sustainable Urban WASH facilities in CXB municipality

Client(s): Dushtha Shasthya Kendra–DSK

Overview
DSK, with funding support from UNICEF and in collaboration with Cox’s Bazar Municipality, will implement a WASH project to improve the sanitary environment and public health conditions in low-income communities in Ward no. 7 & 8 in Cox’s Bazar Municipality. The project will involve the construction of two water distribution networks, 110 community toilets (85 with 2 chambers and 25 with 3 chambers), one solid waste dumping/sorting point, one fecal sludge treatment plant, and five modern public toilets in Cox’s Bazar Municipality.

Objectives
The main objective of this assignment is to review the design of proposed interventions (water distribution network, community toilets, solid waste dumping/sorting point, fecal sludge treatment plant, and modern public toilets) for the UNICEF-supported project titled “Promotion of Improved WASH Services to Low-Income Communities in Cox’s Bazar Municipality.”

The specific objectives are to assess the suitability of the sites for the proposed interventions, review and suggest necessary changes to the design, and suggest mechanisms for the collection and disposal of solid waste and desludging of fecal sludge in consultation with Cox’s Bazar Municipality and other stakeholders.

Co-Composting of Fecal Sludge and Tannery Liming Sludge: A Novel Approach

Co-Composting of Fecal Sludge and Tannery Liming Sludge: A Novel Approach

For managing both the fecal and tannery liming sludges by making an agriculture grade compost through their mixing, ITN-BUET has commenced a research project on conversion of fecal and tannery waste to resource (compost). Dr. Md. Abul Hashem, Associate Professor, Department of Leather Engineering of KUET will lead this research as Principal investigator. This research will focus on both laboratory scale investigation and field level application. Compost produced through this research will be applied in the field to investigate the seed germination capacity of the crops. Plant growth and uptaking of metals and nutrient will be assessed. The proposed research is expected to reduce the volume of fecal and tannery wastes and find out a suitable alternative use.

Major Objectives:

  • To find out the suitability of using fecal sludge and liming sludge for making agricultural grade compost
  • To examine physicochemical characteristics of the compost e.g., nutrient NPKS (Nitrogen, Phosphorous, Potassium, and Sulphur) and metals content, etc.
  • To evaluate the seed germination capacity of the prepared compost

Principal Investigator:

Dr. Md. Abul Hashem, Associate Professor, Department of Leather Engineering, Khulna University of Engineering & Technology (KUET)

3. Developing of National Compendium of Water, Sanitation and Hygiene Technologies for Disaster Response

Developing of National Compendium of Water, Sanitation and Hygiene Technologies for Disaster Response

Organizations working in disaster response in the country recognize the require a readily available working compendium of WASH technologies with technical details & drawings, materials specification with quantity, and costs, which is currently absent in the WASH sector in Bangladesh. In this regard, ITN-BUET is providing the technical support to develop a National Compendium of Water, Sanitation and Hygiene Technologies for Disaster Response. The WASH Compendium presents technical details of each WASH technology, including system description, major components, anticipated risks and important O&M issues. Regeneration/rehabilitation of the water supply options, and desludging of sanitation options are also included in the Compendium. The emergency situations/contexts under which a particular technology is suitable is also described.

The Compendium also includes technical drawings/sketches of the technologies, including plan and sectional views to help the construction of these technologies in the field. Finally, cost estimate, including BoQ has been presented for each of the technologies included in this Compendium.
