GS12877 eWATER SERVICES Emission Reduction from Safe Drinking Water Supply and Accreditation of Water Benefit Services – Tanzania The Gambia and Kenya
Gold Standard · GS12877 · Kenya
About this project
eWATERservices is a private water operator providing 24/7 access to clean water Tanzania, The Gambia and Kenya. Using smart technology and local operational excellence, eWATER installs and maintains water systems serving drinking water to rural communities sustainably. Rural communities have been collecting water by manual systems (e.g. traditional taps installed in water piped systems, conventional wells), and by naturally-occurring sources (e.g. rainwater, lakes, springs). The collected water is posteriorly treated/boiled by using fuels such as charcoal and firewood, a practice that contributes to the generation of GHG emissions. The purpose of the project is to reduce the GHG emissions from boiling water by the installation and operation of the eWATER Smart Taps™. The taps are connected to piped water systems. In Tanzania some of the organizations and systems have a solar energy-powered Internet of Things (IoT) technology that delivers water. The organizations that don’t use solar energy, but conventional electricity are Tuwasa, Morogoro- Msowero, and Singida Municipal. All the systems in The Gambia and Kenya are powered by solar energy. The water is previously treated by eWATER’s Smart Chlorination System which automatically doses the correct amount of chlorine into the water system. Through this technology, using fossil fuel-based practices to treat the collected water would not be required, as it complies with national standard guidelines and the WHO International Requirements for drinking water The project equipment is anticipated to be a new installation or substitute broken water systems that are not sustainable and have become inoperative due to the lack of adequate maintenance. The main purpose of the project is to dispense clean and safe water for human ingestion in rural communities in Africa.
