Context & Issues
The project to transfer water from the Nile is part of the project to extend a mining site.
The current water resources (tube wells) are insufficient and it has proved essential to look for a resource located further away from the site.
Project characteristics
- Water intake: 0.3 m³/s
- 170 km long DN 500 mm pipeline
- Pumping stations (capacity: from 500 kW to 2 MW)
- Reservoirs (from 300 to 1 000 m³)
- SCADA (supervisory control and data acquisition) system
