Pingwe: water for hotels and resorts

Reliable and constant supply of high quality clean water.

The Pingwe project in Zanzibar addresses the difficulties of local hotels in supplying water by providing up to 400 m³ of desalinated water per day through a solar-powered system.
In collaboration between Genius Watter and Water Partners, the initiative provides economic, social and environmental benefits by reducing operating costs, the use of water trucks and CO₂ emissions.

The blue heart of Pingwe: clean solar-powered water. A sustainable look into the future with major cost savings for local hotels

In order to solve the growing difficulties with the existing water supply, Genius Watter and Water Partners chose to take action to provide a sustainable and reliable water supply alternative. The clean, desalinated water will be distributed by pipeline to hotels near the plant site and by truck to about fifteen hotels within a few kilometres. Finally, it is planned that 5,000 litres of the water pumped from the plant’s wells will be donated to the local farming community every day.

The context

Hotels and resorts in Pingwe, on the Michamvi Peninsula in Zanzibar, face high costs and technical problems with the water supply. The water, supplied by trucks, is brackish and of poor quality, causing damage to facilities and logistical difficulties. The trucks have to travel about 40 km round trip for each supply, increasing expenses and environmental impact. In this scenario, the need for a reliable, cost-effective and sustainable solution that reduces costs and improves operational efficiency.
