This presentation summarises the CLUES planning process in Nala, a peri-urban settlement near Kathmandu, Nepal. In Nala, there has been a strong demand from community to improve sanitation conditions. The document provides conclusions about the strengths and weaknesses of the CLUES approach, based on the case study in Nala.

This document is part of a set of three resource documents included in the Integrity Management toolbox for Water service Providers (WsPs):

• Facilitator’s Guide
• Description of WsP Integrity risks
• Description of WsP Integrity Instruments (this document)

This document (description of WsP Integrity Instruments) provides elaborate descriptions of different types of integrity instruments that can help mitigating integrity risks within water utilities. As many such instruments do not only serve the purpose of enhancing integrity, this link is explicitly specified for each instrument. Further examples and ways how the different instruments could be implemented are provided together with a list of further reading.

Riverbank filtration (RBF) has been used for many decades in Europe and the United States to provide drinking water to communities located on riverbanks. In India, the development of RBF has the potential to provide drinking water to many cities located on the Ganga Plains currently using surface water as a source for their public water supply. Water diversion for irrigation and discharge of wastewater to rivers with extremely low flows has aggravated the water supply situation for many Indian cities using surface water. A number of Indian cities, with source waters of significantly varying quality, are already using RBF. In most of these cities no significant additional treatment is provided to the filtrate for their water supply. The objective of this article is to examine selected operating bank filtration sites in India (that have been investigated since 2005) and to elucidate additional potential RBF sites based on water problems and hydrogeologic suitability. A summary of selected operational RBF systems in Ahmedabad, Delhi, Haridwar, Mathura, Medinipur and Kharagpur, Nainital, Patna and Srinagar and their ability to produce potable water is provided. Analysis of the suitability of RBF for Allahabad, Bhubaneswar, Guwahati, and Vijayawada, based on hydrogeology and land use, is also provided.
