About Water For People
Water For People India initiated its operations in West Bengal in 1996 in Nadia and North 24 Parganas districts. Consistent with the global vision and mission, we exist to promote the development of safe drinking water and sanitation services, accessible to all, and sustained by strong communities, businesses, and governments. Our organizational values are Accountability, Courage, Empowerment, Partnership and Transparency.
Water For People India programs have been implemented in 28 districts in West Bengal, Bihar, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu and Odisha. In all, nearly 1.2 million people have been reached through community drinking water and sanitation, WASH in public institutions and market-led approaches to sanitation. By 2023, Water For People India programs aim to directly benefit 2.7 million people. We aim to build capacities at the district level which will contribute to organizational commitments, thereby indirectly benefiting 14.8 million people. Water For People India implements programs directly and also through locally registered non-government organizations
In India, water scarcity and quality issues pose serious challenges to human development and ecosystem preservation. Despite having a sizable population, India has only 2% of the world's landmass and 4% of its freshwater resources. Freshwater accessibility per capita has declined dramatically over the years, reaching a critical level. This trend necessitates immediate action to ensure water security. The Sundarbans and Birbhum region, in particular, require immediate attention to replenish depleted aquifers. Rising water levels and embankment breaches in the Sundarbans, the world's largest mangrove delta, make communities vulnerable to extreme events such as super cyclones and tidal surges. Flooded homes, saline water intrusion, destroyed livelihoods, and scarce water, sanitation, and health facilities are among the consequences. Meanwhile, despite receiving significant annual rainfall, Birbhum, located in a semi-arid region, struggles with water scarcity. Significant shortages occur in the area, particularly during the dry months, affecting both domestic and agricultural usage. Water quality is also an issue, with geogenic contaminants like arsenic and fluoride found in some Sundarbans and Birbhum blocks
About The Project
With a large population and limited land and water resources, India faces a pressing challenge in providing safe and sufficient water. Freshwater availability per capita has decreased dramatically over the years, raising concerns about water scarcity. Despite progress in providing piped water to schools, the situation in physically isolated regions such as the Sundarbans and Birbhum remains dire. Super cyclones, floods, and ineffective government administration exacerbate the water crisis.
The project implementation team has identified the Sundarbans and Birbhum as critically affected areas that require immediate attention to address these issues. The Sundarbans, home to millions, are threatened by rising water levels, embankment breaches, and extreme weather events. Birbhum, which is in a semi-arid region, suffers from water scarcity, especially during the dry months. Additionally, both regions face water quality issues, such as salinity and fluoride contamination. The goal of this project is to implement climate-resilient technologies and sustainable water management practices to ensure water security and ecosystem preservation.
Purpose of Engagement
Seeking an individual or consultant to conduct video documentation of water harvesting and recharge structures in the Sundarbans and Birbhum regions of West Bengal. The scope includes capturing interviews with communities and st
