AfDB finances water supply project in Chad
Chad has launched a project to strengthen the supply of drinking water in Mao, Kanem province.
A water tower with a capacity of 1,000m3 per day will be constructed by the Chadian company Wadi Koundi. The water will be distributed via a 14km long distribution network that will be pumped from the groundwater table before reaching the population via 41 public fountains. Of these community taps, 12 will be rehabilitated as part of the drinking water project.
The work in Mao is part of the Semi-urban and Rural Water Supply and Sanitation Programme. The programme, co-financed by the Chadian government and the African Development Bank, aims to improve the living conditions of the population through the provision of drinking water and sanitation by 2030.
