==Description==
This pilot uses the [[FIETS sustainability principles | F.I.E.T.S.]] model of WASH services.
'''Financial:''' BSP- Nepal has previous experience working with micro-financing institutions in the implementation of rainwater harvesting programs. Their knowledge and outcome will be replicated at this project site, including financial sustainability. Income generation opportunities will also be explored.
'''Institutional:''' The intervention areas are in close coordination with V-WASH CC and D-WASH CC. Water management committees are set up and trained in planning, operation and maintenance. For effective implementation of the project, an after sales service is set up by BSP Nepal. Sustainability of the rainwater harvesting systems is assured through trainings of the users and local service providers.
'''Environmental:''' Environmental sanitation and climate change will be addressed. RWH and the [http://www.bebuffered.com/ 3R approach] support the using and reusing of available water in an efficient way, creating a water buffer for future use, and as resilience against climate change effects. The RAIN program aims at conducting [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple-use_water_supply_system multiple use system (MUS)] activities, such as the use of waste water and slurry of biogas for productive purposes.
'''Technical:''' RWH systems, biogas, and drip irrigation are the main interventions in the project; indigenous knowledge will be exercised in developing and modifying improvements of these technologies.
'''Social:''' The project will focus on gender and social equity. Users groups with 33% women and marginal group representation will be encouraged.
