The Framework provides an integrated, institutional structure of relevant Government agencies and of serviced communities, which is built on integrated water resources management (IWRM) principles: treating water as a holistic resource, management at the lowest appropriate level, and inclusive stakeholder participation. The Framework's specific objectives include: 100% coverage of all houses within each project village with access to improved sanitation services; effective facilities for wastewater disposal; discontinued practice of discharging untreated domestic wastewaters into irrigation drains, canals, or storm drains; and, cost-effective measures for solid waste management. This Framework uses the hydrologic basin as the basic geographical unit to manage the quality of water in irrigation drains and canals, while envisaging a Strategic Management Unit at the national level, accountable to a Framework Advisory Board. The Management Unit will define water quality and other national goals for each hydrologic basin, in Branch Canal Water Board command areas, and within villages. Continued performance monitoring, and benchmarking at village and Branch Canal Water Board levels, is a key element in creating both the incentives, and public disclosure mechanisms for achieving, monitoring, and sustaining water quality and health goals. Government, donors, and beneficiaries will be the principal sources of financing. In view of other ongoing efforts in the water sector, the Bank could provide added value to the piloting, and the subsequent implementation of the Framework. This would be done by leveraging funds, and integrated capacity across the water resources, and water supply and sanitation sectors.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO WATERACCESS TO WATER SUPPLYAGRICULTURAL WATERCAPILLARY ACTIONCITY COUNCILCOMMUNITY DEVELOPMENTCONJUNCTIVE USECONSTRUCTIONCOST RECOVERYCOST SHARINGCOVERINGDISTRIBUTION SYSTEMDISTRIBUTION SYSTEMSDITCHESDRAINAGEDRAINAGE SYSTEMDRINKING WATERDRINKING WATER QUALITYDRINKING WATER SUPPLIESDRINKING WATER SUPPLYECOSYSTEMELEVATED STORAGEENGINEERINGENVIRONMENTAL QUALITYFARMERSGRAVITYGROUNDWATERGROUNDWATER PUMPINGHAND PUMPHAND PUMPSHIGH LEVELSHIGH WATERHIGH WATER TABLEHOUSE CONNECTIONSHOUSEHOLDSHYDRAULICSIRRIGATIONIRRIGATION CANALSIRRIGATION WATERLAKESLEAKAGELOCAL COUNCILSLOCAL STAKEHOLDERSLOCAL WATERMETERINGMONITORING PROGRAMMUNICIPAL INFRASTRUCTUREMUNICIPAL SERVICESMUNICIPAL WASTEWATERMUNICIPAL WASTEWATER DISCHARGESMUNICIPAL WATERMUNICIPAL WATER SUPPLIESPERCOLATIONPIPEPIPED WATERPIPELINESPIT LATRINEPOLLUTIONPONDINGPOOR WATER QUALITYPOPULATION DENSITYPOTABLE WATERPROGRAMSPUBLIC HEALTHPUBLIC WATERPUBLIC WATER SYSTEMSPUBLIC WORKSPUMPINGPUMPING STATIONSPUMPSRAW WATERRURAL COMMUNITIESRURAL SANITATIONRURAL SETTLEMENTSRURAL WATERRURAL WATER SCHEMESRURAL WATER SUPPLYSALINITYSANITATION COVERAGESANITATION SECTORSANITATION SERVICESANITATION SERVICE DELIVERYSANITATION SERVICESSANITATION SOLUTIONSSANITATION SYSTEMSSEEPAGESERVICE DELIVERYSEWER SYSTEMSHALLOW WELLSSOIL PERMEABILITYSOLID WASTESOLID WASTE MANAGEMENTSTAKEHOLDER PARTICIPATIONSTORAGE TANKSSTORM DRAINSSUBSURFACE WATERSURFACE WATERSUSTAINABLE SERVICE DELIVERYTAPSTOILETSTOWNTREATMENT PLANTSURBAN AREAURBAN AREASURBAN COMMUNITIESUTILITIESUTILITY MANAGEMENTVALUABLE INFORMATIONWASHINGWASTEWATERWASTEWATER DISPOSALWASTEWATER MANAGEMENTWASTEWATER SERVICESWASTEWATER SYSTEMSWASTEWATER TREATMENTWASTEWATER TREATMENT TECHNOLOGIESWATER AUTHORITYWATER BOARDWATER BOARDSWATER BODIESWATER CONSUMPTIONWATER DISTRIBUTIONWATER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMSWATER POLLUTIONWATER PRESSUREWATER QUALITYWATER QUALITY DETERIORATIONWATER QUALITY IMPROVEMENTWATER RESOURCEWATER RESOURCE MANAGEMENTWATER RESOURCESWATER RESOURCES MANAGEMENTWATER SCHEMEWATER SCHEMESWATER SECTORWATER SERVICEWATER SOURCEWATER SOURCESWATER SUPPLIESWATER SUPPLY SERVICESWATER SYSTEMWATER TABLESWATER TREATMENT PLANTWATER USAGEWATER USERWATER USER ASSOCIATIONWATER USERSWATER UTILITYWATERCOURSESWELLSWorld Bank10.1596/8621
