People are not willing to use the bi-tech well. The panchayet has installed a deep tube well 3 feet away from this well and using the bi-tech well as soak pit. The people are not willing to see the ppt presentation at all. Acting ignorant to the arsenic issue.

Implementation Status: completed_partial Tue 24 Sep 2013, Over 11 Years agoField Visit Report of Farida, Laltu, Biswajit and Shilpi
From the beginning this well was used for other purposes due to high organic smell. The hand pump is stolen. People are using water from a near bu deep tube well installed by the panchayet after construction of the bi-tech well. Closure survey will be done but one more door-to-door campaign followed by another projector program will be done in October and November 2013 in this area where three more bi-tech wells have similar issues. The water of the deep tubewell will be tested for arsenic. If arsenic is absent in the dtw then the community will be encouraged to use the bi-tech well for irrigation purpose.

How it Works
Every field note helps building a history of activity at the project site. Every visit should result in a field note, including visits by peers and 3rd parties. Visits can be before implementation, during implementation and during operational state.
If the field note is during the operating phase of the project, then PWX considers the note as a verification note. Verification can show if the current operating state is different from that in the 'final' report and thus draw attention and resources to resolve issues.
Soon PWX AnalytiX will track the number of projects verified and combine that with the amount of time elapsed since 'completion', to summarize monitoring efforts and the sustainability of projects.

Other Issues
Unusual and unexpected issues faced during project execution
The large diameter (10”) pipes for 25 bore dugwells have arrived within 3 weeks after placing the order. The construction team is engaged in conducting site selection procedures while the awareness team is continuing with awareness programs in schools and communities in the areas where dugwells are in operation.
