methodalogy is given in a aanual of reconmended budgetary<br />
procedures for HDA.<br />
Given the camplexity inposed zpan %DA of implementing a<br />
nuaber of projects f~ntied from different sources, and the<br />
concomitant accounting a ~ d costizg syslens imposed by each of<br />
that, NilA must, strive ncnetAaPess to opsrate as a comprehensive<br />
whole. Insfsting upon a standard costing systen will be one way<br />
ts achieve this objective.<br />
The values used as labour ccst variables in the versions of<br />
the node1 in Appendices 4.4.1 and G,4.2 are not those currently<br />
in ase within WDA, The salary and per diem levels shown are in<br />
line with those paid to employees working within the Groundwater<br />
Profect, which are considerably higher. For example, the salary<br />
and per diem rates for a Chief Driller within WDR are Sh.920 per<br />
month znd Sh.12 per day respectively. The equivalent figures<br />
used in rhe madel are Sh.2851 per month and Sh.100 per day<br />
respectively. The figures used in the model are thought to be a<br />
more realistic estizzte of the rates which need to be paid to<br />
attract the quality of staff required, In terns of the total<br />
cost of well construction, rhese costs ~ s e not of major<br />
significance* As shown in Figures 2.4.5 and 2,4,6, labour costs<br />
constitute less than 3% of the t~tal cansbruction cost.<br />

**HydrugeO1ogytl shu~Ld no: be coxfused xith "Site Selectiong*.<br />
Unlike previous azalyses, the s~cioiogical aspects of site<br />
selection have been omitted. In reality, it has bee3 found that<br />
WDA does not carry out this Eunctiox, and does :ot appear to be<br />
Likely to have the fccili~ies to do so in the foreseeable<br />
future . Often, the process is somewhat political, but the<br />
distinction betieen ioczl plitics and sociology is ill defi~ed.<br />
In this respect, the psocess reqxires aE important contribution<br />
fson the WDA regi~nal office, bxt as such it is considered to be<br />
pzrt of that overhead. Any acfcal socio:ogical work carried out<br />
as past of site selection is qeceraliy undertaken by the agency<br />
for whcm WDA is constructing the well. In the case of the<br />
Groundwater Project, Zh4s has been the Central Rangelands<br />
Deveiopnent Project and the Bay 2egio~ Agricultural Development<br />
3rcj ec%. Site selection for XZW, therefore, is purely a<br />
technical process, concerned with selecting the best site from<br />
available hydrogeolagical dats.<br />
Any soclo-econo~ic: work uzdertaken by NDk through the<br />
planning Unit skauld be vieved for the sosent as research, and<br />
riot as a routine functim of veil canscmction. Again, this
