iSAtech water GmbH
Water Kiosks Water Kiosks in West Africa

Project start: 2021

Partner: Eau Propre d’Afrique, Atmosfair gGmbH

Countries: Burkina Faso, Togo

Project cornerstones:

  • Treatment of drinking water and water distribution at public standpipes
  • Supply of several standpipes from one central water treatment plant per location
  • Dispensing profile: credit on NFC cards
  • Central monitoring to record all deliveries and monitor the systems
  • Networking of the taps in the field with LoRa, connection of the local networks via iSAtech Radio Gateway using GSM/LTE
  • Energy supply: solar/battery

Decentralized solar drinking water networks in

  • Burkina Faso: Dedougou, Ouargaye Adjegan
  • Togo: Adédikope, Agou, Houtsiafa, Kara (under construction), Kpessi, Lomé, Sokode (under construction)

Example of the small town of Dedougou in Burkina Faso:

Around 10,000 people in the region benefit from clean drinking water. In the drinking water network consisting of three kilometers of pipes, up to 40,000 liters of contaminated groundwater are purified daily and distributed to the decentralized standpipes.
