Water Supply and Wastewater Master Plan for Greater Banjul Area and Provincial Areas

We are excited to share the latest developments in our efforts to enhance water supply and wastewater management for the Greater Banjul Area and provincial regions. This project, funded by Agence Française de Développement (AFD) and managed by the National Water and Electricity Company of Gambia (NAWEC), aims to create a sustainable and efficient system to meet the current and future needs of our communities.

Project Overview

The project will develop a comprehensive master plan focusing on both water supply and wastewater management. It involves assessing the current situation, projecting future needs, and planning necessary infrastructure improvements.

Water Supply Component

  • Assessment: Collect and analyze data on existing water supply infrastructure.
  • Future Needs: Conduct a demographic study to project future potable water needs.
  • Resources: Identify potential new water resources to meet future demands.
  • Scenario Development: Update the water supply model and develop future scenarios considering technical, financial, and socio-environmental aspects.
  • Master Plan: Create a detailed master plan with a GIS layout of planned infrastructure.
  • Cost Recovery: Propose cost recovery scenarios for necessary investments and operational costs.

Wastewater Component

  • Assessment: Evaluate the current wastewater management system.
  • Future Needs: Estimate future wastewater production based on water consumption.
  • Scenario Development: Develop future scenarios for wastewater management, integrating centralized and decentralized solutions.
