Mobilisation and Transfer of Water from Bria Dam to Lake Chad

Mobilisation and Transfer of Water from Bria Dam to Lake Chad

EN-NEPAD-PIDA-PAP2-Project-Prospectus-Web-1-92_74-74

The Lake Chad basin has many flood-prone areas that are affected year after year. These areas are concentrated along the Chari and its tributaries, near Guelendeng, Bousso and the Am Timan area, east of Sarh. The loss of water in these sections promotes the drying up of Lake Chad. The overall objectives of the project are to:
• Ensure the implementation of a technical process to improve the hydraulic capacity of the Chari River to limit losses in the flood plains;
• Design the facilities and infrastructure necessary for the transfer of water by gravity from the Bria Dam to the Chari River
• Optimise the various components for hydropower generation, irrigation development and flow support while minimising potential negative impacts.

Operationalisation of the São Tomé and Príncipe hydrometric stations

Operationalisation of the São Tomé and Príncipe hydrometric stations

EN-NEPAD-PIDA-PAP2-Project-Prospectus-Web-1-92_73-73

São Tomé and Príncipe has 12 automatic hydrometric stations, which require in-depth maintenance for their effective operation. Taking into account the climate change that has devastated the country, there is a need to adapt and mitigate the impacts that could cause flood and river overflow, and be resilient, through operationalization of hydrometric station for issuing alerts and management of watersheds. The main objectives of the project are:
• Optimise and manage water resources efficiently in order to ensure their correct use, protection and enhancement, guaranteeing the quality of the service provided to the population and the sustainability of existing systems
• Make hydrological stations operational (satellite communication, maintenance, calibration, data processing, purchase of tools and materials)
• Strengthen the hydrological sector legally and institutionally (Legal, Human resources, Job training, material, rolling stock, hydrological portal)
• Promote environmental awareness in order to improve environmental impact, reduce vandalism actions and increase community surveillance.

Using Solar and Wind Energy to Extract Groundwater in the Pastoral Wells in the Western Region of the Jafara Plain

Using Solar and Wind Energy to Extract Groundwater in the Pastoral Wells in the Western Region of the Jafara Plain

This project is to install pumps on a number of 15 pastoral wells in Sahel Al-Jafara in northwestern Libya, and they are operated by solar energy or wind energy for the purpose of watering animals and establishing forest areas around the wells that are among its priorities to establish natural reserves for different animals that are distinguished in the region in addition to developing the area pastorally.

The project objectives are:

• To contribute to the creation of pastoral areas and the provision of water for watering animals and the establishment of natural reserves for several types of wild animals that spread on the Libyan-Tunisian borders

• To contribute to increasing the vegetation cover in the region gradually and resisting climate changes and desertification.

The Project consists of interventions on water infrastructure development interventions to ensure adequate supply of potable water to communities of in the Antanambao Manampotsy Area, but also seeks to implement water resources management interventions to increase climate resilience of the water resources systems in the area. The project objectives are to:

• Improve the quality of life for households, schools and public facilities through increased access to drinking water
• Protect the community’s water sources and improve the hygiene standard of the population dependent on the water resources
• Water supply infrastructure development
• Implement some adaptation measures to Climate Change
• Protection of the community’s water sources

FOMI Multipurpose dam development Project

The degradation of the Niger River Basin ecosystem may ultimately compromise the existence of local populations and deteriorate their living conditions. This is why the development of the Fomi dam is the best alternative for sustainable development in the Upper Niger, a guarantee of safeguarding the natural resources of the river basin. The project objectives are to:

• Regularise the river regime and preserve the Niger Basin ecosystems
• Improve the living environment of local populations through the production of low-cost electricity
• Ensure basic water supply and livestock watering needs
• Develop Irrigated Agriculture
• Produce low-cost hydroelectricity
• Develop fishing and fish farming
• Improve river navigation and develop ecotourism.
