SOMALIA: Improving Community Wells

Screen Shot 2020-05-20 at 10.06.00 PM.png

SECTOR: WASH

DEMOGRAPHIC: Community: urban and rural unsecured communities – including host and Internally Displaced People (IDPs)

HUMANITARIAN NEED:

  • Improve health, reduce waterborne diseases including diarrhea

  • Provide safe drinking water

  • Provide sustainable business models

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:

Most of the water sources in Somalia are boreholes and the dissolved solids levels are brackish above 2000ppm. The Somali WSAH Cluster is looking for appropriate technologies for the removal of dissolved solids (fluorides, sodium, chlorides, calcium) from the underground water sources within urban and rural unsecured communities – host and IDPs – that have low or unreliable access to power. How can the water from community wells in Somalia be improved so that it is safe for drinking?
