 This report contains the background of my internship hosting company &the project area that is
Kuma rural town, its main services and customers, as well as its overall organization and work
flow. The source of water supply for Kuma rural town is ground water with a discharge of 22 l/s.
According to the socioeconomic data, the base population that the project incorporates is 2,439.
Population projection has been made based on World Bank, Cost Effective Design Guide line,
2018-2033. growth rates and accordingly the total projected population at the end of the design
period is calculated to be 3,110.

Demand projections were also made throughout the design periods. The modes of services
considered for this project is public fountain. The maximum day demand and peak hour demand
at the end of the design period is estimated.

The proposed water supply structures for the project are: 25000L service reservoirs and five
public fountains and distribution pipe line. Water from the boreholes pumped to the elevated
service reservoir, then flow by gravity to distribute to public fountain laid in by gravity. The
major positive impacts of the project are time and energy saving in fetching of drinking water.

The system has been designed in such a way that it can satisfy the demand and Provide the
town with safe water for next 15years. The report includes the overall internship experience

conditions of the population in the study area by enhancing the level of water supply
services in terms of quantity, quality and its accessibility.

 To formulate a plan for diffusion of sanitary facilities in order to improve environmental

sanitation this will be able to prevent the contamination of sources and to secure safe water
supply.

The aim of the report is to collect, review and analyse data on the new water supply system, to
prepare a preliminary design, discuss options, water supply system of the Small town to the year
