Introduction :
The REGIDESO (Water Distribution Authority) of North Kivu faces technical and geographical challenges to ensure the supply of drinking water to displaced people’s sites located on the outskirts of the city of Goma. However, REGIDESO provincial director David Angoyo says projects are underway to improve this situation. In this article, we will explore the efforts made by REGIDESO to meet the drinking water needs of displaced populations and the challenges it faces.
The challenge of supplying drinking water in displaced people’s sites:
Displaced people’s sites in Goma are facing a shortage of drinking water, which is a major concern for residents. David Angoyo, provincial director of REGIDESO, admits that the company faces technical and geographical challenges in providing drinking water to these sites. However, he emphasizes that efforts are underway to improve this situation.
Current drinking water supply projects:
According to David Angoyo, several projects are being implemented to meet the drinking water needs of displaced people’s sites in Goma. These projects aim to install suitable infrastructure, such as water reservoirs, pumping systems and distribution networks, to ensure a regular supply of drinking water. The end goal is to serve all affected sites efficiently.
Technical and geographical challenges:
The technical and geographical challenges that REGIDESO faces in supplying drinking water to the displaced people’s sites in Goma are multiple. Among these challenges, there is the dilapidation of existing infrastructure, access constraints to sites due to their remote location, as well as problems related to sanitation and hygiene. REGIDESO works in close collaboration with other partners and local actors to address these challenges and improve the situation.
Conclusion :
Despite the technical and geographical challenges, REGIDESO of North Kivu is committed to providing drinking water to the displaced people’s sites in Goma. Projects are underway to improve the supply of drinking water and ensure regular distribution. However, there is still work to be done to overcome the challenges and ensure access to clean water for all. Collaboration between REGIDESO, partners and local stakeholders is essential to achieve this objective.
