Senegal – Drilling in NDOUR-NDOUR

Access to water, which is recognized as a basic need, is very difficult in some localities.

In Senegal, the village of Ndour-Ndour located 267 km from the capital was facing a real water supply problem.

Faced with this problem, the NDIMBEUL association in partnership with ERES Senegal (bitumen subsidiary of the Rubis Energie group) has set itself the objective of improving the living conditions of these inhabitants.

A sustainable solution has been put in place to facilitate access to water. The design of a mini borehole 10 meters deep accompanied by a solar submersible pump connected to a manual fountain. The storage of water is done in a water tower and the distribution by gravity to the fountains.
