Feasibility study for a surface water reservoir in Teknaf, Bangladesh
Assignment at the request of UNHCR in Cox’s Bazar.
At present the water supplies to the Rohingyas refugee camps are provided by an unplanned and ad-hoc collection of emergency responses which have accumulated over the past 27 years. These are fragile at best and require extensive operational costs, high levels of maintenance and repair with quality control being very difficult. The decentralised nature of the systems means that water resources cannot easily be moved from areas of surplus to areas of deficit.
The overall object is to deliver significant amounts of potable water from new surface and groundwater sources from new areas in Teknaf subdistrict. The outcome of this feasibility study project should thereby function as a roadmap to sustainable water resource management planning that serves drinking water for host communities, refugees as well as the agricultural, commercial and industrial sectors.
