1. The Actual setting of the project size shall determine the

type and degree of development to be required regardless
of political boundaries. With respect to this, the degree on
the level of development shall be defined as follows;
a. Underdeveloped Area: characterized by the
absence of utility system or networks, especially
water supply, roads and power.
b. Developed Area: characterized by the presence of
utility system or networks, especially water supply,
roads and power.
a. Underdeveloped Areas
1. Water supply must at least be 43 liters/capita/day
2. Provision of communal wells
