4.3.4 Water Schemes Management
Management of water schemes in each district in the region is
under the district councils, the villagers themselves through Village
Water committees (VWC) and Board of water users and
companies. To facilitate water management most of the villages
have established Village Water Funds. The district engineer is a
technical member both to the district councils and village water
committees. For water schemes that serve more than one village,
a ward water committee exist instead. By 1997 more than 70% of
the villages had established village water committee (VWC) and
more than a third of them had established village water funds
(VWF), table LXXiX indicates.
