Objective and Purpose of the Assignment
A. Background
The activity under the facility will support the development of an additional water intake for the city
of Osh. Existing intake was completed in September 2016 under the Emergency Assistance for Recovery and
Reconstruction project but was not enough to cope with the needed demand in clean and uninterrupted
water supply during the rainy season and related high-water turbidity. The new water unit will be
located upstream of the existing one, in a section of the river that will not be affected by the
torrential rains that cause the water turbidity on the existing intake, providing 400,000 people with
access to safe, clean, and reliable water supply. The activity will improve the development impact and
