5.1 Strength and weakness
Affordable household water treatment is required to implement in Suco Holarua due to poor
water condition and inadequate hygiene that brought a range of chronic diseases such as diarrhea
and weakness. There are several strengths and weakness of this project that have been
highlighted below:
Strength
 This project improved the health of people by reducing chronic disease caused by water
scarcity It encourages people to follow hygiene lifestyle that eventually upsurges living standard A health infrastructure can easily be promoted through this project Pregnant women and infants have to experienced fewer problems s related to the
accessibility of water
Weakness
 There is comparatively less support the federal government to provide a continuous
supply of water, education and sanitation. About 1.2 million people are living below the poverty line The education system in Suco Holarua is low that creates problems in executing the
project effectively Almost 64% of people in Asia a Pacific region have been suffered from diarrhea and
pneumonia that increase the vulnerability of water (Ucanews.com, 2019). There is comparatively less support federal government to provide continuous supply of
water, education and sanitation.
5.2 Regulatory and safety consideration
Regulator and safety consideration has a leading role in creating a positive change to encounter
accessibility issues of water. In 2015, Service Delivery Assessment (SDA) program has been
commenced that is considered as an extensive collaboration between Timor-Leste organization
and many government agencies that facilitate in creating better water supply (Ucanews.com,
3

2019). This program embraces disaster risk management specialists and sanitation program in
Suco Holarua to assure that people can sustain their life effectively. The major components of
this program are cost model to assess water and proper health program that increase the living
standard of people gradually.
In addition, a firm framework of regulatory and safety consideration helps in improving the
reliability and sustainability of people by increasing the accessibility of water positively. The
latest record from UNICEF and Joint Monitoring Programme (JMP) implies that only 39% of
Sanitation and 69% of water have been accessed in 2011 that is far from the Millennium
Development Goal targets for overall water supply coverage. On the contradictory, there is a
significant difference between rural and urban areas in terms of education, infrastructure,
sanitation and water supply. Therefore, a framework is required to amend positively to assure
that living standard and health position can be improved positively.
5.3 Future scope of design
The affordable household water treatment is considered as one of the important and requisite
projects that facilitate in providing clean and quality water. This project helps in minimizing
number of chronic diseases cases through building a strong framework that increases
accessibility and encourages sanitation feature. A range of program has been commencing all cc
such as Millennium Development and Disaster risk assessment that facilitates in enhancing the
living standard of people in terms of sanitation and water supply. The major scope of this water
treatment den is supporting infants and pregnant women in maintaining hygienic lifestyle so that
they do not problem in giving birth to a newborn baby.
