Community water supply system for drought mitigation

Problem Area - Drought

Created at: 15 May 2022

Description

  1. Expansion of transmission network, connecting another spring to the existing spring box via new 800m piping, more than tripling total volume of water available to community per day

  2. Two steel cable pipe bridges installed along transmission line to ensure secure passage across river sections

  3. Rehabilitation of weak sections of existing transmission line to community

  4. Construction of two new 5200L reservoirs in community for additional storage during dry season

  5. New distribution network (2.2km of pipe) with 5 public tapstands built in aldeia Mausuka, which previously had to walk long distances for water
