Of Reference For Hydrogeological Geophysical Survey Location Geel Lookor Village Berbera District Saaxil Region And Beer District Of Togdheer Region Of Somaliland Job Title Hydro Geological Geophysical Survey ConsultantLength Of Consultancy 25 DaysBackgroundThe Ministry Of Water Development Of Somaliland Executing Agency And Care International In Somaliland Implementing Agency Have Collaborated In The Implementation Of The Water Infrastructure Development For Resilience In Somaliland Program Funded By The African Development Bank Group The Overall Objective Of The Program Is To Contribute To A Resilient And Sustainable Water And Sanitation Sector As Well As To Provide Enhanced Water Supply And Sanitation Infrastructure In High Priority Drought Stricken Areas Of Somaliland The Water Infrastructure Development For Resilience In Somaliland ProgramThe Construction Of Strategic Boreholes And Mini Water Systems 23 Sites In Various Drought Prone Areas Of Somaliland Is 95 Complete And All Works Concluded In 20 Sites Benefitting An Estimated People With The Pending Activities In 3 Sites Projected To Be Concluded By January 2019 The Duration Of 5 Months From The Time Of The Mission Is Informed By The Need For Additional Hydro Geological Studies To Identify Alternative Water Sources As The Current Ones Have Low Yields And Not Able To Meet The Community Water Demand Overall Implementation On The Activity Is Satisfactory The Mission Discussed With The Implementing Agency The Need To Engage With Communities On The Sustainability Arrangements For The Completed Infrastructure And Ensure The Water Systems Management Committees Have Women Representatives 1 1 Status Of The Program Physical ImplementationThe Currently Ongoing Water Infrastructure Activities Took Place In 29 Sites And The Overall Coverage Of The Construction Works Is 100 At The Moment For 25 Villages Out Of 29 Villages The Rehabilitation Of The Earth Dams Is Ongoing The Water Facilities Infrastructures Of The Proposed 4 Boreholes Is Completed All The Construction And The Rehabilitation Work Of 20 Shallow Wells Has Been Successfully Completed The Water Wells Were Rehabilitated Water Pumping Systems Was Mounted And Water Storage And Supply Pipelines Constructed In 18 Out Of The 20 Shallow Wells Ground Water In Somaliland Somaliland Water Sector Strategic Goals Are Linked To Sustainable Development Goal Sdg 3 And 6 Which Both State Aim To Ensure Healthy Lives And Promote Well Being For All At All Stages And Ensure Availability And Sustainable Management Of Water And Sanitation Respectively These Two Sdgs Are Allied To The Framework Of The Wash Sector Somaliland Water Regulatory Framework And Water Resources Management Manual Are Underdeveloped Some Of The Policies And Water Act Exists But Not Yet Fully Operational However In Somaliland There Is Considerable Potential For The Groundwater To Support SomalilandS Water Sector Infrastructure Development Consequently The Existing Management Mechanism Are Lacking The Provisions For Controlling Abstractions Pollution And Borehole Drilling There Are Overlaps In Perceived Responsibilities Between The Ministry Water Development Other Line Ministries And The Water Supply Agencies In Main Urban Centres Given The Lack Of Large Scale Perennial Streams And The Arid Climate In Much Of Somaliland Groundwater Is The Sole Water Resource In Most Of The Country Except In The Shallow Well In The Seasonal Valleys And Surface Water Sources That Relays On The Rain Water Runoff Only In The Rainy Season In That Case Approximately 85 Of The Population Use Groundwater For Drinking Water Most Groundwater Is Used For Drinking And For Major Cities In Rural Areas Livestock Watering Is Also A Significant Groundwater Use Irrigation Is Not Widely Developed Except Small Scale Irrigation Systems For The Farms Along The Banks Of The Seasonal Valleys 2 0 BeerLocation Longitude N 9 2157 72N Latitude E 45
