Xingalool: water for the local community

Sustainable development project through reverse osmosis desalination plant for the Xingalool community in Somaila

For this project, Genius Watter collaborated with a number of local partners including the Puntland Water Development Agency and Seccco. In just over 6 months since the meeting with representatives of the Xingalool community, phase 1 of the project has been completed.
The desalination plant is connected to an automatic water distributor, operating 24/7 for tankers.

The financial, technological and collaborative approach for this project is innovative and takes place through the involvement of local partners in all phases of the project.

For this project, Genius Watter collaborated with local partners including the Puntland Water Development Agency and Seccco.

Genius Water managed to install a solar-powered reverse osmosis desalination system for brackish water in just over 6 months, with the adoption of new water distribution methods, thus completing phase 1.
The desalination plant is connected to an automatic water distributor, operating 24/7 for tanker trucks.

Phase 2 of the project is currently underway, with the aim of rehabilitating, modernising and expanding the existing water distribution network with the ultimate goal of bringing water directly into people’s homes.

The context

Xingalool is a town in the state of Puntland north of Somaila, where annual rainfall is low and drought waves are frequent.

The water in the local aquifers is often hard or brackish and laden with salts. Populations therefore depend on expensive ‘water trucks’ from afar for fresh water supplies. As a result, many are forced to ration water at the expense of health and sanitation.
