NORAD Outputs

The Programme will aim at achieving its goals through the development of specific outputs, which will be managed by the Department of Water Affairs and Forestry. These outputs will include:

  1. A higher success rate and sustainability in groundwater based community water supply projects.
  2. Raised understanding among decision-makers and water services planners and providers regarding the benefits and the key factors determining the success of community water supply from groundwater.
  3. More efficient and effective information provision for water services development and management from groundwater.
  4. A widespread and measurable recognition of the value of groundwater and the need to protect it through appropriate management measures.
  5. Appropriate technologies for groundwater development widely understood and taken up into water services implementation practice.
  6. Significantly improved groundwater management at local level based on groundwater source monitoring as part of scheme management.
  7. Communities participating actively in the protection of their own groundwater sources.
  8. Improved water supply in rural areas through increased emphasis on groundwater as a resource, a higher success rate in groundwater projects and increased public awareness of the measures needed for the resource to be sustainable.

STANDARD BOREHOLE DESCRIPTORS

Long awaited documentation that is attempting to standardise the way the data related to groundwater, and boreholes in particular is available for general perusal. Substantial amount of work is behind the pages that can now be downloaded for daily reference. The project that generated the document was enabled thanks to generous support of the NORAD, the Norwegian Agency for the Development Cooperation.
