Description
Description | The demand for water in both Yaounde and Douala is rising rapidly because of rising population and increased industrial use, especially in Douala. The project would provide for doubling of water supply facilities in the two cities which are at present unable to meet demand the dry season. The Douala sub-project provides for expansion of production facilities, and additional reservoirs and distribution lines. At Yaounde the project would include the construction of an earth dam creating a reservoir of 5 million cubic meters capacity, a new treatment plant and pumping station and a transmission main to carry the water to the city, as well as additional storage and distribution facilities. The project is expected to be completed in two years. |
