Developing a water catchment area to capture and store water for village reserve to support the community during raing season, which creates poor water quality and dry season with the shortage of freshwater.
The community of Lepa Village is blessed with many small waterfalls running along the cliffs surrounding the village, however they also create a problem of flooding the road during rainy season. At the same time, the abundance of freshwater coming from the small waterfalls are being wasted as they flow directly across the road and into the sea. The community feels that capturing the water and storing it will help support every household during rainy season when the piped water is dirty, and at the same time provide water during dry season with water shortage.
Objectives;
To provide an alternative quality water supply for the community when the piped water runs out
To instill the value of envronmental conservation amongst the villagers and its future generation
To conduct an environmental assessment on possible adverse impacts that can emerge from the project, and identify appropriate measures
