Côte d'Ivoire - Rural drinking water
Description
Customer / Type of customer
Pump & Drink by Sotrad Water
Issue / Need
A revolutionary water treatment system for communities in Côte d'Ivoire.
More than 300 rural villages in Côte d’Ivoire with fewer than 2,000 inhabitants have had their manual water pumps replaced by independent solar stations. These villages are members of either the “Conseil du Coton et de l'Anacarde” (Cotton and Cashew Council) or the “Conseil du Café et du Cacao” (Coffee and Cocoa Council)..
Location of the project
Approach used / Response given
Sotrad Water’s PUMP & DRINK solar pumping and treatment stations include a D8WL3000NIE dosing pump to supply drinking water in a sustainble way.
The Pump & Drink stations, which Sotrad Water have been designing, developing and perfecting for the past 10 years, have been designed as sustainable, turnkey solutions for supplying drinking water to rural communities. These stations are used to install new boreholes and wells or to replace old, broken manual pumps.
They meet the most stringent requirements reliably and can be operated without fossil fuels or electricity.
The pumped water is treated to make it suitable for drinking, and the surplus can be used for crops and livestock. These solutions are designed to be installed in existing boreholes or wells up to 80m deep.
