  • Water Distribution (Water Supply)

Even a simple engineering project like constructing a pipe from the river to the village helps. Even if there's only one central tap (called a standpipe), no one wastes hours every day getting water.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Distribution de l'eau
CONT

Les réalités socio-économiques de l'Afrique ont conduit à la réalisation de deux systèmes différents d'approvisionnement en eau potable (AEP) des populations : le système d'AEP de type urbain, comportant un réseau de conduites de distribution offrant la possibilité aux ménages d'avoir un branchement pribé et (ou) de se ravitailler aux bornes fontaines (BF); le système d'AEP de type rural (ou hydraulique villageoise) destiné aux communautés rurales et ne comportant qu'un point d'eau collectif.

OBS

D'après un hydraulicien français, le terme borne fontaine désigne, en hydraulique villageoise, un point d'eau public, souvent un robinet, le long d'un réseau.
