The Rideegama Community Reverse Osmosis (RO) Water Project – (North Western Province)
Project Description
The Rideegama Nagollagama Community Reverse Osmosis (RO) Water Project was implemented to address the long-standing lack of access to safe drinking water in the Rideegama area. For many years, community members relied on untreated and contaminated water sources, resulting in frequent waterborne illnesses and serious health concerns. To improve community health and wellbeing, a 5,000-liter-per-day RO water purification plant was installed to provide clean and safe drinking water for daily consumption.
The project was fully funded by World Vision Lanka and implemented by Kansarmen SL Foundation, drawing on its technical expertise and experience in delivering sustainable water solutions for underserved communities.
Location
Rideegama Nagollagama Community, North Western Province, Sri Lanka.
Reason to choose this project
This project was selected by World Vision Lanka in response to the critical lack of access to safe drinking water faced by the Rideegama community and the high incidence of waterborne illnesses caused by the consumption of untreated water. Recognizing the technical expertise and proven experience of Kansarmen SL Foundation in implementing community-level water purification systems, World Vision Lanka appointed Kansarmen SL Foundation as the implementing partner and fully funded the Reverse Osmosis (RO) water project to ensure sustainable access to purified drinking water for the community.
Activities We Have Done
- Implemented a Reverse Osmosis (RO) water purification plant with a capacity of 5,000 liters per day to provide safe drinking water for the Rideegama community.
- Installed the RO plant at a centrally accessible location to ensure ease of use for all community members.
- Connected the RO system to the existing water supply and electrical infrastructure to ensure uninterrupted operation.
- Conducted training sessions for the community management committee on the proper operation, routine maintenance, and basic troubleshooting of the RO system.
- Established a follow-up and monitoring mechanism to regularly obtain updates on the performance of the RO plant and to provide technical guidance as required.
- Supported the community to implement a sustainability model, enabling the sale of purified drinking water to households and the operation of a bottled drinking water initiative to generate income for operation, maintenance, and long-term sustainability.
Community Contribution
Community members actively participated by supporting site preparation, assisting with installation activities, and forming a local management committee to oversee daily operations. The community has taken ownership of the facility by managing water distribution, income generation, and routine maintenance under the guidance of Kansarmen SL Foundation.
