This project has 5 different milestones or work packages and the project milestones are as
follows:
Milestone 1: Completion of project kickoff phase
This is the initial phase of the Warka Water Tower development phase. This particular
phase is divided in small subparts that deal with selection of location, investigation of site. Based

2ENGINEERING MANAGEMENT
on the water supply issues in that particular location, the Warka water tower should be installed.
Primarily, just after developing the idea of the concept a prototype will be prepared in this phase.
Obviously that particular prototype should be approved by the project manager and project
sponsors.
Milestone 2: Completion of requirement gathering phase
Before the development of the Warka tower design, all necessary requirements are to be
gathered by the project managers and project developers. It is the responsibility of the project
manager to implement the Water in such as a way so that it could meet the criteria of the tower
that is followed all over. After the development of a full scaled prototype by testing the materials
the final construction of the Warka water tower will be prepared.

Milestone 3: Completion of research and development phase
Research and development is the third milestone of project development phase. It is the
responsibility of the project head to test the data after gathering it from different resources.
Warka water tower is a natural water tower which is comprises of bamboo, rope etc. Even, the

5ENGINEERING MANAGEMENT
water stored in the water collector is also collected from environment such like rain water, dew
fog etc.
Milestone 4: Completion of testing phase
After collecting data from different sources, proper testing of the application is needed to
be done. In order to harvest the fog a mesh has to be developed which is also tested in this phase.
Apart from this, the water filter was tested and also a canopy is developed and tested in this
phase. A water storage distribution application system was also added and tested including dew
collector testing and its evaluation and development.
Milestone 5: Completion of pilot installation phase
This is the fifth phase of Warka water tower development project. The pilot installation
phase is again consists of two activities such as monitoring trial, material testing.
Milestone 6: Completion of project closure phase
The project closure phases the last phase of the Warka water tower development which is
consists of stakeholders’ signoff, final submission of the final document and post maintenance of
the tower. The basement of the water tower is though quite strong but still certain maintenance
steps are needed to be undertaken to avoid natural impact. The basement and other material
should be covered with proper materials to protect the Warka water tower.
