The Project will facilitate competitin among the many pourashavas for loan funds based on (i) expressed needs, (ii) staff capability, an d(iii) financing management. Four pourashavas with populations ranging from 50,000 to 400,000 different water resource situations (e.g., surface and groundwater supplies), different water quality issues, different slum situations, different financial status, different rehabilitation requirements, and low piped service coverage, will be selected for detailed study and analysis. The TA will include a comprehensive water supply audit in accordance with standard ADB terms of reference in the four pourashavas and will examine all water sources for all people considering quantity, quality, cost, and accessibility. The TA will also carefully assess the reasons for noncompliance with the minimum requirements by needy pourashavas, and evaluate their potential to fulfill minimum requirements based on identified performance indicators to provide oppotunity for the needy pourashavas to qualify for investment under the Project. Under the eligibility criteria, the TA will prioritize urban (and peri0urban) areas where shallow aquifers are highly contaminated with arsenic, and people without piped water supply are affected.
