“…of the sixth Sustainable Development Goal (SDG 6) of the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development [2].Alternative water resource management strategies that relate to water supply and sanitation are now being sought to strengthen resilience and reduce the vulnerability of communities to water-related issues. Omarova et al [5] suggest that the decentralization of water management, monitoring of both water supply and water use, and a tailor-made approach to each village are necessary to achieve the SGD 6 objective of providing rural people with safely managed drinking water. Han et al [6] presented an integrated water and sanitation system that includes an innovative approach including a rainwater harvesting system (RWHS), an eco-toilet, and a waterless portable private toilet (WPPT).…”

“…Therefore, IWS could promote food, water, and energy security in the community.Despite the potential societal benefits of IWS and its components, problems in its implementation could arise from the perceived acceptance by its users. Previous studies [5][6][7] focused mainly on the technical aspects of the IWS and presented the promising benefits of the technology. Although being able to satisfy the technological needs of users is important, IWS should be socially accepted and willing to be used by users to be adopted by a community.According to Andersson [14] and Rahman et al [15], local perceptions and attitudes toward ecological sanitation and rainwater collection schemes, i.e., IWS components, are crucial in order to design or improve such infrastructures into a more socially appropriate and sustainable water and sanitation management solution in a target community.…”

The Integrated Water System (IWS) offers alternative water and sanitation services that can potentially benefit rural communities experiencing water scarcity. The IWS described in this study comprises three systems: The Rainwater Harvesting System (RWHS), Water Treatment System (WTS), and Eco-Toilet System (ETS). RWHS and WTS make use of rainwater, which can be utilized for several domestic uses, especially during wet season. ETS has several benefits to users including promotion of environmental and public health, as well as food security. Despite the potential benefits of the IWS components, the perceived acceptance of its users threatens the success of its implementation. This study focuses on determining the significant factors that can influence the social acceptance of IWS in the Municipality of Mulanay, Quezon Province, Philippines. This study considers behavioral intention as an indicator of social acceptance of the IWS components. The framework of this study is based on the combined technology acceptance model and theory of planned behavior (C-TAM-TPB) concept. C-TAM-TPB was analyzed using Partial Least Square–Structural Equation Modeling (PLS–SEM). The result of the C-TAM-TPB evaluation reveals that the user’s attitude towards use (ATU), including its significant predictors, can promote behavioral intention towards use of the IWS components. This study can further improve the development of IWS projects.

Government of Maharashtra empaneled Technology and Development Cell (TDSC) as third-party evaluator in all district to improve Rural Water Supply Schemes (RWSS) for improving sustainability, efficiency and equitability of these schemes. The objective of the paper is to investigate and design of rural water supply scheme. The investigation was carried out during 2018-19 in Vadoli-Nileshwar village. Investigation was completed in three stages out of that first stage is to collect document related to scheme like detailed project report, second stage is to verify all documents in scheme and third stage is to verify physical assets of scheme like source well, raising main, storage reservoir and distribution network. Investigation was notified that Vadoli –Nileshwar water supply scheme is completed in 1981, scheme is designed for 2900 peoples with daily demand 40 lit/person/day. But due to increasing population, increasing daily demand and newly developed area water supply is insufficient. For solving this problem, scheme is redesigned in which raising main, storage reservoir, pumping machinery and distribution network is designed for 3700 peoples with daily demand of 115lit/person/day and 12 supplying hours. Scheme was designed by ‘Jaltantra’ software. It is expected that, if this revised design is considered, the problem of water availability to consumers will be solved. Spacing.

Background and Aim: It is certain that without readily available water in sufficient quantity, and free of pathogens, man's progress is tremendously hindered. In Muyuka, Cameroon, though there exist public taps littered “here and there”, the population most often find themselves fetching water from nearby streams raising to surface the question of sustainability of the available water systems which was the aim of this study. Methods: This was a cross-sectional, analytic study targeting household heads and water committee members in the rural communities of Muyuka. Three communities were randomly selected and from each, five quarters were randomly selected. In the quarters, convenience sampling technique was used for the household heads while snowball sampling technique was used to get the water committee members. An interviewer administered questionnaire was used and data analyzed using R. Results: A total of 371 persons participated in the study. The average number of years lived in the community was 22.08 (SD=10.61) and ranged from 10 to 66. Only 13.00% of the participant didn’t see the water system as challenging while 81.5% finds it to be severely problematic. Utilization of water averaged far less than the 50L/person/day and the situation worsened as the household size increased. Close to half (49.6%) of participants did not participate at any stage in the development of the water system. According to the participants, water systems breaks down averagely 3 times in a year and last for about 67 days before being repaired. Water committee members reported difficulties in accessing spare parts and inadequacy in their training. Conclusion: Frequent breakdown of the water schemes compounded by the unavailability of spare parts and hence delays in repairs, and in expansion, user dissatisfaction and unwillingness to pay their bills; inadequacy in training of water committee members, has resulted in poor sustainability of the water system.
