Overview:

This tool evaluates all water points that are not producing water in a given district and evaluates how many people that currently lack access could be reached if the water point was repaired.

Illustrative Uses:

• Determining which water points to rehabilitate

Instructions:

1. Click “OK” on the welcome message
2. Select “Repair Priority” from the tool selections at the top.
3. In “Administrative Zone”, type in the name of the district you are looking to identify rehabilitation priorities for. If there is not enough data in that district, the tool may give you an error.
4. 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.
5. Click “Execute”
6. This tool may take 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.
7. Once completed, a series of circles will appear on the map. The larger circles represent relatively more people that could be reached. Only water points where #status_id is “No” are shown.
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”. You can see the numerical definition of the circle size by clicking the button with the three lines.
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.
