11 How does the Proposed Project
Fulfill the Provision of EHRP-
ESMF?
Before Gorkha earthquake, the drinking
water system was working properly. After
the earthquake, intake, reserve tank and
distribution pipelines have damaged and
thus local people of Lahare Lobate Tole
got affected. It has halted reconstruction
process for 31 households as they have
difficulties to manage the water needed for
drinking and reconstruction purpose
12 Is ESSR Approved? (if applicable) Yes
13 Is Separate ESMP Prepared? Yes
14 Earthquake and Safeguard Perspective of the Proposal:
Previously working drinking water system was damaged in Post-Gorkha
earthquake
Local people of Lahare Lobate Tole have deficit of water supply for
drinking & reconstruction
iii
Due to deficit of water supply people are facing problem in regular supply
of water especially in dry season.

1. Introduction
A magnitude 7.6 earthquake of shallow depth struck central Nepal with an epicenter
approximately 77km north-west of Kathmandu on April 25th 2015 causing widespread
destruction. On May 12, 2015 a large after shock of a magnitude 6.8 hit Nepal and caused
further causalities and damage. As of 3 June 2015, the reported casualties include: 8,702
deaths and 22,493 people injured. As the earthquake sequence destroyed 490,000 houses
mostly traditional mud brick and mud stone built and occupied by the rural poor and
rendered another 265,000 houses at least temporarily uninhabitable, the largest single
need identified in the Post Disaster Needs Assessment (PDNA) was housing and human
settlements, accounting for US$ 3.27 billion of needs.
The Government of Nepal (GON) has requested support from a number of development
partners, including the WB, to address the immediate and long-term damage inflicted by
the earthquake in Nepal. In response to this, World Bank approved a US$200 million
loan to finance the Earthquake Reconstruction Project (EHRP) approved on 18 June 2015
to support 55 thousand households of three severely affected districts namely: Dolakha,
Dhading and Nuwakot. The project will support in restoring affected houses with multi
hazard resistant core housing units in target areas and to enhance government’s ability to
improve long-term disaster resilience. Initially, the EHRP is to be completed by July
2020.
Considering the further need to support GoN, International Development Association (the
World Bank) has agreed to support additional US$300 million loan to finance the
Earthquake Housing Reconstruction Project (EHRP). The recent additional loan support
will cover another eleven severely affected districts including Gorkha covering 96000
households from Additional Financing and 3200 households from Multi Donor Fund.
Environment and Social Management Framework serves as a practical tool to ensure that
environment and social aspects are duly considered in the planning and implementation
process of earthquake housing reconstruction project. Accordingly, Revised ESMF, have
guided to address the environmental and social issues of the projects by site-specific
environmental and social management plan after selection of the sub-projects prioritized
by orientation and consultation in the respective local government.

2. Objectives of ESMP
This Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) is addresses the problem
arise by shortage of water on hygiene, sanitation and other daily activities due to increase
demand of water for reconstruction and decreased capacity of storage tank. Therefore the
Main Objective of this ESMP is to maintain and rehabilitate the RVT, Intake, distribution
pipeline and construction of public taps of Water Supply System to support in
reconstruction of remaining houses of EHRP beneficiaries.
3. Methodology
Consultation and discussion: Consultation and discussion program was held
with Local Government (Chair of RM, deputy Chair, chief administrative
officer, ward chair persons and secretary) and engineers from DLPIU and
collected the environmental and social Issues.
Field visit: After the consultation walkover survey for verification of
environmental and social Issues which were collected from local level
consultation were carried out at project level. Environmental and Social
screening checklist was used for relevancy with ESMF guideline.
Desk study: Documents such as district profile, Municipality profile, CBS
publication and publication of line agencies at district level and other project
related reports were reviewed. Google earth map was taken to get the
overview of the project area.
4. Site Description
The sub-project is located at Lahare Lobate, Ward No. 4 of Melung Rural Municipality,
Dolakha district. The geographical location of the site is 27o32’37”N and 86o04’22”E.
with altitude of 812 MSL. According to Census 2011 the total household on Ward No. 4
of the Melung Rural Municipality is 918 and total population is 3705 of which 1596 are
male and 2109 are female. The area is dominated by Brahmin and Chhetri and is mostly
Hindu by religion. In Ward No. 4 of Melung Rural Municipality (Previously Bhedapu
VDC), the total housing reconstruction beneficiaries are 1797 in which out of total 65
Sub-project beneficiaries household, 31 houses were remained to be reconstructed due to
lack of water supply. Previously for the construction of other than these remaining
houses, people collected the water from almost half an hour walking distance downhill
which created trouble in water supply for reconstruction. Discharge of the source at
Bhedpu Khola is 0.93 liter/s in dry season. Rehabilitation and maintenance of the 14m3
capacity one RVT, Intake tank, 3000m distribution pipeline and construction of ten
different public tap on Lahare Lobate Tole will supply the ample amount of water for the
reconstruction.
5. Environmental and Social Issues
Site verification carried out on 2075/07/27 by Environmental Specialist, Social
Development specialist along with district engineer. Before Gorkha earthquake, the
4
drinking water system was working properly. After the earthquake, intake, reserve tank
and distribution pipelines have damaged and thus local people, especially Brahmin
community of Lahare Lobate Tole were affected. It has halted reconstruction process as
they have difficulties to manage the water needed for drinking and reconstruction
purpose.
After the completion of this sub-project water supply system will be smoothly run.
Further, the program will help for the sustainable safe drinking water supply in the area
which enhances the sanitation and hygiene along with reconstruction in the area. After
the completion of reconstruction of those remaining 31 houses, water supply system will
be managed by the user committee. For the maintenance of water supply system they will
generate the maintenance fund from the amount collected within the beneficiaries.
6. Environmental and Social Mitigation Plan
Rehabilitation and Reconstruction of water storage tank and distribution pipeline have
been proposed to address the issues of water scarcity raised by Ward Chairperson during
orientation and consultation program held on 2075/01/21 at Melung Rural Municipality.
The existing water supply has directly benefited more than 65 Households through public
taps.
