DHAKA WASA III

closed

The Third Dhaka Water Supply and Sanitation Project will achieve improvement in Dhaka Water Supply and Sewerage Authority (DWASA) operational and financial performance, expansion of existing water supply and sewerage systems in metropolitan Dhaka, and strengthening of sectoral training and planning. It aims to achieve them through: implementation of a large-scale leak detection program to reduce leakage and unaccounted-for water; installation of a computer system in DWASA for commercial management and monitoring of operations; and a study of DWASA staff productivity and deployment of staff resources. The project further supports expansion of water supply and sewerage facilities; rehabilitation of old water mains; and a pilot low-cost sanitation program. Lastly, this venture provides for the resettlement of residents at Demra if necessary.
