WATER & SANITATION SYSTEM: Impacts: Water is one of the highest priorities after food assistance. People in these districts traditionally use pond water for drinking and other household uses. Some ponds are damaged by saline inundation, dead animals and garbage and these will remain so until rains start in June 2008. Contamination of safe water sources created scarcity of safe water for drinking, washing and bathing. No of damaged tube wells and ponds at worst affected and badly affected 12 districts. Sanitation needs are significant for an estimated 1.3 million people. For some of the worst affected areas, physical damage to household latrines was fairly common with one estimate putting the percentage of slab latrines damaged or destroyed as high as 70 percent.
