Describe WOPs activities
A diagnostic visit was conducted from 18 to 23 May 2008 to discuss twinning assistance to DWASA. The Team comprises K Water experts - Mr. Deak chun Han, Dr. Kwan Soo Soek, and Mr. Soojin Choi; and ADB Facilitator, Robert Hood. The team consulted with a number of DWASA personnel and visited two water treatment plants, two zone offices and several ground water pumping stations.
Although an initial work plan was developed during the diagnostic, it was proposed that a more detailed plan best be developed during a first visit to K Water by DWASA personnel.
