| Water Treatment Processes and Energy Efficiency in Water Distribution | news and events at EWSA | ||
|
On 22nd
January 2013, Energy water and sanitation Authority “EWSA”
launched the
capacity building project as capacity building for the
optimization of
water supply using performance indicators with the aim of
reduction of
technical losses in the distribution system. The 36 month
project, ending in December 2015 and implemented by the partners
CONSULAQUA
HAMBURG and TUHH the Research centre at Hamburg University of
Technology, will
be focusing on capacity building within EWSA in the erea of chemical
uses for
water treatment, energy efficiency for water supply and on the
reduction of
technical losses. On the basis of its Memorandum of understanding with EWSA, HAMBURG WASSER will introduce the performance indicator system as a new innovative approach to water supply. The process will be based on specific technical and economical efficiency information and therefore will allow EWSA to continuously optimize the water supply, to the benefit of consumers. EWSA and Hamburg Wasser will equally revise together the opportunities to improve the processes currently used to treat water, aiming at significantly reducing the use of costly chemicals.

Treatment Processes and Energy Efficiency in water Distribution
The EU- funded project will also give attention to increasing the energy efficiency of water supply systems, over the entire chain water supply, from the water collection to its treatment and distribution. The EU contribution to this project comes from the ACP-EU water facility. The project is innovative in its approach, exclusively working hand in hand with EWSA staff, aiming at building capacities that will enhance and bring new developments in water supply in Rwanda. EU fully recognizes that there would be no sustainable development without access to safe water said Michel ARRION, Ambassador and Head of delegation to Rwanda. Finally, the project aims at reducing technical losses in the 3, 000 km of EWSA managed water network distribution networks by more than 15% by the end of the project identification of irregularities, damages and vulnerabilities will be the basis for the development of a modern strategy for reduction of water losses, which again will greatly benefit the end users. |
