Sesión práctica - Tratamiento del Agua a Nivel Domiciliario y su Almacenamiento Seguro - TANDAS

Este taller cubre cuatro temas principales: Agua potable y TANDAS, El método de barreras múltiples, Opciones de tecnologías TANDAS y Selección de opciones.Los participantes comienzan el taller explorando por qué el agua potable es importante, su idefinición y cómo TANDAS puede apoyar a reducir las brechas de acceso a agua segura. Luego, los participantes practicarán el Método de barreras múltiples (tecnologías y comportamientos) que se pueden usar para proteger el agua desde la fuente hasta el vaso del usuario.Con esta comprensión de los riesgos y las barreras, los participantes toman una visión práctica de las opciones de sedimentación, filtración, desinfección y almacenamiento seguro del agua de consumo. Evalúan los beneficios y las limitaciones de varias opciones y describen cuán adecuados pueden ser los métodos de tratamiento del agua y almacenamiento seguro combinados con el método de barreras múltiples (Opciones de TANDAS). Finalmente, los participantes exploran las buenas prácticas para la selección de tecnología para un determinado contexto (Selección de opciones TANDAS).

Climate Resilient Water Safety Plan (CR-WSP)

This package focuses on building climate resilience water safety plan in water and sanitation supply schemes. Accessibility of water along with water quality is a major concern in current scenario. Focusing on it, water being supplied by water and sanitation supply schemes is also a major concern. With the variance in climate which have a huge impact in the water quality and accessibility, the package focuses on training the trainer on the topic to facilitate and develop the required water safety plan in the community.OBJECTIVESUpon completion of the workshop participants will be able to:- To enhance knowledge on Climate resilience Water Safety Plan- To capacitate the participants to facilitate training on C-WSP- To facilitate on creating draft C-WSP of Water and Sanitation Supply SchemeIn the package, participants will be able to gain knowledge and information on 'water safety plan' along with the climate resilience perspective. To this, participants will be demonstrating and practicing in steps of water safety plan including a field visit and prepare a draft of water safety plan of thus visited water and sanitation supply scheme.METHODS OF INSTRUCTIONThis participatory style workshop includes theory, classroom exercises, open discussion, demonstrations, simulation, and hands-on practice in the workshop along with the field visit of a water and sanitation supply scheme. Active participant engagement in learning activities is highly encouraged.CONTENTThe following is a list of the topics to be covered in the Workshop.- Water quality and water borne disease- Intro to climate resilience water safety plan- Water safety plan steps- Water safety plan team formation and analysis of water and sanitation supply scheme- Hazard identification and risk analysis- Control measures and further steps- Water quality testing- Mass Chlorination- Multi-barrier approach and Point of Use options- Preparation for field visit- Instruction for WSP preparation
