Project 107, Donation Cost: US$11,930- Installation of a pipeline to provide Fakhrobod Village, 50 families, Vahdakt District, access to safe drinking water from an area canal

Fakhrboard Village

Pre-project Situation

Around 50 years ago, there was a  water supply line, constructed during the Soviet-Era for the village. The supply line was connected to an area canal which provided spring water  both for irrigation and drinking. The piped water was of course boiled before using it for drinking.

Now, the water supply line was built at the time with metal pipes which are now destroyed from rust.

People now have to go to the canal to fetch water for drinking. The canal is 2.5 kms away and the villagers have to spend a lot of time to fetch water for drinking.

The canal serving the area villages

Does the taste change in different seasons?,

It tastes the same in all the season

 Does it have any odor – No

Do use any water from this for washing? – Yes

 Does the water leave any stains on the clothes? – No

Is it hard water – No

 Any tap water can contain different amounts of total dissolved salts (TDS),  which in large quantities would make the water  harmful to drink. So, it is necessary to test it regularly. 

 The water is rated based on the TDS amout per liter:

excellent when less than 300 mg, good when between 300-600 gm, fair when 600-900 mg and unacceptable when morethan 1200 mg.

 So, can you plan to rest your tap water regularly with this meter we have given you?- Yes               

  Also, can you plan to have a government specialist check your drinking water if it smells bad, tastes bad or has a color? Yes

 Duaa from the Village Chief:

It has been a enormous support that the Shiraz Dhanani and Shahida Dhanani have given us.

We pray for the good health, prosperity and success for Mr. Shiraz and Shahida Dhanani and their loved ones. We pray for peace of souls of their deceased family members.

May Allah have mercy on them and    grant them an eternal peace.
