Implementation of Drinking Water Facilities
This project involves the drilling of water wells in three locations in Sinnar State, Sudan, to provide safe drinking water for up to 7,200 people. Each facility includes a water well, a 50 m³ elevated tank, a distribution point, animal troughs, and solar-powered pumps. The project aims to reduce water scarcity, improve public health, and enhance living conditions, with a total cost of $146,100 and a completion timeline of three months.
Providing Sustainable Access to Clean Drinking Water Through Well Drilling and Solar-Powered Systems
Implementation of Drinking Water Facilities
Although Sudan is very rich in ground water but there water scarcity. There is a high demand for drinking water in most areas in towns and villages. More than 60% of the population in Sudan depend on ground water (aquifers; 40 – 400 m depth). The objective of project is to implement an appropriate drinking water facility (digging of water wells) tailored to the specific needs and constraints of communities. With valuable expected outcomes such as; improving the access to clean and safe drinking water for all communities, reduction in water pollution, waterborne diseases and associated health risks and improve the living environment of people.
Location:
The project includes drilling of water wells in Sinnar locality, Sinnar State distributed in the following three locations:
- Fangoga, Sinnar town.
- Galaa, Sinnar town.
- Kabosh, Sinnar town.
Population served by the project:
Each water facility was designed to provide drinking water for population around 2,000 to 5,000
people. The targeted number in this project are as below:
- Fangoga, Sinnar town, 2,500 persons.
- Galaa, Sinnar town, 2,700 persons.
- Kabosh, Sinnar town, 2,000 persons.
The nominated targeted areas were decided after the discussion with water cooperation in Sinnar state. Each water facility consists of: Water well, elevated tank 50 m3, room, distribution point, animal troughs and fencing. The project includes solar energy to operate the submersible pump.
