Overview:

This tool evaluates all possible locations that a water point could be constructed in a given district and evaluates how many people that are not near an existing water point (regardless of functionality) could gain access if a water point was constructed in that location. 

Illustrative Uses:

• Identify locations to build new water points
• Evaluate the relative benefit of building new water points compared to rehabilitating existing water point

Instructions:

1. Click “OK” on the welcome message
2. Select “New Locations” from the choices at the top. You may need to press the down arrow to get to “New Locations”
3. In “Administrative Zone”, type in the name of the district you are looking for. If there is not enough data in that district, the tool may give you an error
4. In the “Number of Candidates”, select the number of water point construction locations you would like to recieve
5. Select the access distance. This is the furthest people can be from a water point to be considered to have access. Note: WPDx recommends leaving the access distance at 1000m.
6. Click “Execute”
7. It may take about 10-15 minutes to process. Note: This tool is not using significant amounts of data or bandwidth during this time. Instead, it is waiting for the server to complete the analysis.
8. You can see the results on a satellite map by clicking the four squares in the top left of the map and selecting “Imagery with Labels”. 
9. You can download the data by clicking the link under “Output CSV”
10. In the CSV, the “Pop_Served” shows the number of additional people (not yet reached) that are estimated to be reached if that water point was rehabilitated.
