Description
This project will produce an additional volume of water of 144,000 m3 per day to supply drinking water to the town of SAN. This volume represents 88% of current production, and will significantly relieve the populations benefiting from fetching water, especially women. The cost of the project, estimated at $360,000, will be implemented over 48 months.
The project will benefit a population of approximately 1.6 million people, or 90% of the population of the city of SAN, of which 50.4% will be women. In addition to the construction of a treatment station capable of producing the entire projected daily volume, and equipped with an alert station to monitor the quality of the water produced, the project will finance (i) 8 water reservoirs capacities varying between 2,000 and 10,000 m3; (ii) a distribution network of 880 km, or 53% of the current network; (iii) 66,144 social connections, for the poorest households; and (iv) 1,108 standpipes, particularly in precarious neighborhoods, the multiplication of these standpipes and their proximity to users contributing to lowering the price of water for these vulnerable populations. The project will also support capacity building of intervention structures, the drinking water heritage company (SOMAPEP-s.a), the drinking water management company (SOMAGEP-s.a), the Electricity and Water (CREE) and the Ministry of Environment and Sanitation (MEA). The project works will involve local SMEs and SMIs as well as young people through labour-intensive works (HIMO) for the digging of trenches and the construction of standpipes. In addition to the time savings it will generate, the project will also promote the management of standpipes by women and people with disabilities. All of these measures will have a significant impact on reducing urban poverty.
This operation is justified by the current situation of water stress experienced by the city of SAN. The current access rate of the city of SAN to drinking water is low, it is estimated at 26%. It is not uncommon for this situation of deficit to create great tension in certain neighborhoods of the CITY.
The implementation of the project will make it possible, through training sessions and studies carried out for the MEA and the CREE, to (i) update the SAN sanitation master plan,
ii) identify a sanitation component related to this DWS project,
iii) propose an adequate organizational and institutional framework for the urban sanitation sub-sector,
iv) regulate the price of water at standpipes, in order to make access easier for the poor,
v) set up the geographic information system (GIS) for SOMAPEP-s.a.
Water is one of the most basic human needs. It is essential to almost all sectors of the economy, including agriculture, energy production, industry and mining. Water management, which has an impact on people's health, gender equality, education and livelihoods, is crucial to sustainable economic development and poverty reduction.
-
Water and agriculture: in 2030, to feed Mali's 25 million inhabitants, it will be necessary to double the current volumes of water dedicated to agriculture. Irrigation, which accounts for nearly 60% of withdrawals and 90% of consumption at the national level, is by far the most water-intensive sector.
-
Water and energy: today, nearly 18 million people do not have access to electricity. The share of water withdrawals for energy production is currently estimated at 10% of the total withdrawals made in Mali. Moreover, while estimates project an increase in national energy consumption
-
Water and urban development: Over the next 30 years, the size of cities in developing countries will double, as will their demand for integrated approaches to managing water supply and quality, sanitation, water systems. drainage, recreational use and flood management.
-
Water and disaster risk management: the impact of natural disasters on socio-economic development is largely attributable to at the water. Water-related risks account for 80% of all natural disasters in Mali
-
Water and sanitation: at least 20 million people still do not have access to improved sanitation facilities and 15 million people to drinking water
The technical possibilities are as follows: increasing access to conventional water resources, by increasing flow storage capacities (mainly dams and local rainwater storage systems) or better management of available stocks (mainly groundwater and aquifers that have been increasingly overexploited in recent decades); better recycling of the resource in order to optimize its use and avoid waste; control of water pollution to increase the quantities available for human use and reduce treatment costs; resource transfers between river basins; desalination of sea water
Follow-up mechanisms for our deliverables include the following:
SERVICE MONITORING: Service to consumers is the most obvious aspect of water service delivery. "Its indicator must reflect the criteria of availability, quality/safety, acceptability, accessibility (which includes reliability) and affordability”
MONITORING RESPONSIBLE INSTITUTIONS; The functions of the responsible institutions, often carried out by local authorities, include the development and application of regulations, the planning, at the local level, for new infrastructure or rehabilitation programs, the award of construction contracts and overall service monitoring, and advisory support to service managers. Monitoring managers is also an important task for heads of institutions, but it is often lacking in rural areas.
MONITORING OF SERVICE MANAGERS: Service managers can be water user associations or public or private operators. Regardless of the type of manager, all are expected to complete a number of tasks, either themselves or by outsourcing the work to specialist contractors. (technical tasks – preventive maintenance, maintenance and repair; ∙ financial tasks – calculation of tariffs and collection of charges, verification of accounts; and ∙ management and administrative tasks – record keeping, reporting, organizing community meetings.)
Governance: Collaboration across borders and sectors to make SDG 6 everyone’s business.
Our initiative has been developed with the aim of achieving the objectives of the AJIDE-Mali Association for groundwater governance by 2030. It describes the main steps to be taken and demands urgent action by all those in a position to do so. get things done: local and national governments, international organizations, the private sector, civil society, educational institutions and professional organizations, community movements – but also well owners, groundwater users and concerned citizens everywhere in Mali
