Enugu State Water Development Project
Note: this website is currently under large changes, please bear with us.
Welcome to the Enugu State Project! This initiative seeks to develop a sustainable water source of clean water for six villages through partnerships with the Adu Achi community and Canadian Samaritans for Africa. Currently the community relies upon distant and contaminated surface water sources. A site assessment was completed in August of 2006 and the project is in the process of designing a ground water gravity flow system to service approximately 8 public taps, as well as several individual households and potentially community cassava washing stations. In addition to technical feasibility, this project emphasizes community organization, management, health, education, and sustainability.
This project has received several National & International awards, including:
EPA P3 Phase I award
EPA P3 Phase II award
Mondialogo International Engineering Award from UNESCO & DaimlerChrysler
Best student presentation at the National Groundwater Association's Ground Water Summit 2007
