As a result, the project has responded to increasing the accessibility of water for the 1,969 people targeted, which means they have enough water all year round, especially during the dry season. With a more reliable water supply, less time is spent collecting water, allowing for more productive and income-generating activities by household members. It also helps to ensure children and youth safe as they do not have to fetch water from a long-distance away.
Therefore, The community members agreed to contribute tariffs (annual usage fees) to the village water fund. The usage fees, ranging from THB 150-300 for annual household contributions, will be spent for:
piping system’s/ water tanks’ maintenance staff
repairs and other future maintenance and demand purposes.

We don’t have to go far away to collect water at a river. I am so happy to be able to use clean water provided to my house.”
