Water and Sanitation in Afghanistan
As a civil engineer and called out reservist I am about to be posted to Afghanistan and may become involved in water and or sewerage.
I would be grateful for any information that you could provide on;
Hand pumps, their delivery rates, height of lift they can be used for, availability and prices (I am aware of the introduction of boreholes and submersible pumps in the area I'm going to and of their adverse effects on the water table in other areas)
Appropriate next steps in sewerage for villages that have traditionally relied on households looking after their own needs and disposal but have sewage, seepage or primary effluent spilling out into roads. Communal septic tanks and perhaps reed beds prior to soakaway/river outfall spring to mind but I am unsure about their cultural acceptability.
Any information you have on relief agencies and NGOs in the south-eastern areas of Helmand and Kandahar.
