of groundwater. This is also due to deforestation. This makes parts of the State experience lack of
water even for domestic uses. This is because the rainwater is not conserved and allowed to drain
away. Thus it does not matter how much rain we get, if we don't capture or harvest it.
This highlights the need to implement measures to ensure that the rain falling over a region is
tapped as fully as possible through water harvesting, either by recharging it into the groundwater
aquifers or storing it for direct use.
AJK Rural Support Program (AJKRSP) has been established under Section 42 of the
Companies Ordinance 1989 as a corporate entity. The setting up of AJKRSP as a State level
organization has provided a locally based development opportunity for fostering village level
community organizations in AJK. All COs, established under any project/ program sponsored by
different donors across the State, will be supported by the AJKRSP to ensure their sustainability
Being a prime auxiliary of the Government of AJK, AJKRSP is undertaking community development
projects by establishing and empowering community organizations throughout AJK.
AJKRSP serves as a platform for sustainability of the development initiatives undertaken by
various NGOs and CBOs. Besides developing strong linkages with the line departments, community
organizations and individuals, AJKRSP also develops capacity of stakeholders through special
needs-based training programs.
AJK Rural Support Program is operationlized across the State and is working in different
sectors of rural development like livelihood, gender & development, social mobilization, human &
institutional development, marketing & enterprise development and others. AJKRSP has the mandate
to promote self-employment opportunities through marketable skills based trainings and
establishment of micro-enterprises. Through such capacity building programs, AJKRSP will be in
position to cater to the jobs requirement of the people of AJK and play a vital role in the eradication
of poverty in the area.
Project Components:
• Social Mobilization: The project aims to capitalize the experience of AJKRSP in social
mobilization and its staff would motivate village activists to construct water harvesting structure
and conserve water to the fullest extent.
• Training in Rainwater Harvesting Operations: The HID Unit of AJKRSP will develop a
cadre of Master Trainers in construction and maintenance of water harvesting structures (160
men and women) each master trainer will then consequently train some 10 village activists
with the support of the project team. The Master Trainers and other trainees will be selected in
consultation with the local VOs organized by AJKRSP in the area. The training will focus on low
4
cost, alternate means of construction with emphasis on maintenance and sustainability of the
interventions. The project team will train the Master Trainers on fast-track basis. It will be
followed by regular backstopping and monitoring to create an impact. The selection of the
Master Trainers will be on-merit, based on the following criteria:
• Willingness to impart knowledge after receiving training.
• Willingness to transfer the technology.
• Mobilization of local people and following up on the establishment of Rainwater harvesting will
be jointly conducted by the local communities and the project staff. The cost of social mobilization and
follow up will be reimbursed to the AJKRSP.
• Capacity Building. Partnership, Policy and Advocacy: It is important to build capacity of the
public institutions, NGOs, universities and research institutions in rainwater harvesting research,
teaching and outreach so that the effort remains sustainable after the completion of the project.
The project will lay a great emphasis on development of partnerships with and between all key
stakeholders, including the private sector. Likewise, emphasis will be given to policy research and
advocacy related to rainwater harvesting, including the; allocation of more funds for research
institutions; human resource development in public institutions; revision of curricula in teaching
institutions;
Water Harvesting:
Rooftop harvesting has been practiced since ages, and even today it is practiced in many
places throughout the world. A simple storage device attached to roof run off is the simplest way to
5
harvest water. Many different types of containers are in use for storage purposes from used oil drums
to polyethylene tanks. However, according to an ILO publication “Your Health and Safety at Work.
Male and Female Reproductive Health Hazards in the Workplace”, polyethylene is “suspected” to
cause cancer in human beings. The word suspected is further elaborated to mean where a substance
shows inconclusive evidence of causing cancer in human beings but is confirmed in animals. Thus it
is safer to avoid the use of polyethylene tanks. Secondly, transportation of large size containers is
restricted. Therefore, a simple tried and tested alternate is proposed. This consists of Pre-Cast RCC
Rings that are normally used in lining wells. The rings of 3 - 4 – or 5 feet diameter are stacked on
each other to a specified height. The intervention has been displayed in the Akhter Hameed Khan
National Center for Rural Development (NCRD) at Chak Shahzad, Islamabad, Pakistan. Here a series
of plastered and un-plastered tanks demonstrate an affordable and quickly set up tank that is more
permanent and carries the added advantage of maintaining water temperature. This is not so in the
case of polyethylene or fiber glass tanks where summer temperatures cause stored water to heat up to
uncomfortable levels thus restricting use. Thirdly, use of concrete is very common in the EQAA in
the shape of hollow and solid blocks. Gravel is available in plenty and sand is readily procured.
Communities can be persuaded to prepare the rings themselves after training and construct them at
conveniently located sites, thereby stimulating local economies. Transportation costs will be reduced
and storage till erection will not be a problem. To prevent leaves and debris from entering the system,
mesh filters will be provided at the mouth of the drainpipe leading to the tank. Further, a first-flush
device will be provided in the conduit before it connects to the storage container. If the stored water
is to be used for drinking purposes, a sand filter will also be provided. The tank can be installed
above the ground and outside the building. Each tank must have an overflow system for situations
when excess water enters the tank. The overflow can be connected to the drainage system.
The quantity of water stored in a water harvesting system depends on the size of the
catchment area and the size of the storage tank. The storage tank has to be designed according to
water requirements, rainfall and catchment availability.
FIRST-FLUSH DEVICE
A first-flush device is a valve or a simple device, which is used to ensure that runoff from the
first spell of rain, is flushed out and does not enter the system. This needs to be done since the first
spell of rain carries with it a relatively larger amount of pollutants from the air and catchment surface.
A diversion valve that can be used in water harvesting systems.
6
Design parameters for storage tanks:
1. Average annual rainfall
2. Size of the catchment
3. Drinking water requirement
The system is to be designed for meeting potable water requirement of a 7-member family
living in a building with a rooftop area of 100 sq. m. Average annual rainfall in the region is 1,300
mm. Minimum daily potable water requirement per person is 10 liters.
Area of the catchment (A) = 100 sq. m.
Average annual rainfall (R) = 1,300 mm (1.3 m) Runoff coefficient (C) = 0.7
Annual water harvesting potential from 100 sq. m. roof = A x R x C
= 100 x 1.3 x 0.7 = 91 cu. m. (91,000 liters) say 20,000 gallons.
The tank capacity has to be designed for the dry period, i.e., the period between the two consecutive
rainy seasons. With a monsoon extending over four months and winter rains, the average dry season
is of 46 days.
Drinking water requirement for the family (dry season) = 46 x 7 x 10 = 3,220 liters
As a safety factor, the tank should be built 20-30 per cent larger than required, i.e., say 1,000
gallons. This tank can meet the basic drinking water requirement of a 7-member family for the dry
period. Alternately, kitchen garden requirements can be met by 20 cycles of full tank per annum.
When attached with simple shift- able drip irrigation lines the area under intensive cultivation can be
increased to cater for small-scale commercial production of vegetables and nursery stock. This can
also be a further income strengthening project after initial successful completion of the 1st phase.

not able to cope with demand and alternate measures need to be adopted. Water is a primary
necessity for the people, agricultural production and for the industries. Water is the only valuable
source that is required for everyday life but is fast depleting. Rain water harvesting is an activity of
direct collection of rain water which can be stored for direct use or can be recharged into ground
water. RWH shall meet as substantial portion of the domestic needs. RWH can act a long term
solution to improve ground water availability. This low cost, simple technology can be adopted by
everyone from villager to the resident of urban areas and from a common man to a corporation.
Most of the water supply schemes in EQAA have been badly affected along with disruption of
water resources. The scheme will meet/ supplement the drinking water demand in the earthquake
affected areas from rain water.
10. Financial Plan and Mode of Financing
OPEC Fund for International Development (OFID) has indicated project funding of US$ 10
to 12 million for the reconstruction and rehabilitation program of ERRA.
11. Project Benefits and Analysis
i. Financial: Time spent on fetching water from wells/ springs will also contribute
financially as a number of other tasks can be performed during time saved.
ii. Social Benefits with Indicators: Constant drudgery involved in fetching water
will be eliminated leading to relief. Repetitive tasks lead to monotony and this causes
depression and fatigue. A sense of belonging and mainstreaming will provide a boost
in morale. Indicators will include:
• More time for home and children.
• Pure Drinking water available at home.
• Less incidence of water borne diseases.
• Less infant mortality.
• More time for income generating activities.
iii. Employment Generation (direct and indirect)
Time saved on fetching water is the only employment generation process which can be
gained from the intervention.
iv. Environmental Impact
Containment of run off will yield benefits for the environment by reducing erosion and
silting in down stream structures. The project will help in achieving the objectives of
the Pakistan Environment Policy, 2005 and will have a positive impact on the
environment
v. Impact of Delays on Project Cost and Viability
Rampant inflation and the great need for provision of relief to the marginalized reveal
the necessity of implementation of the project at an early date. As prices continue to
soar the project will face increased costs if it is delayed.
