GS12877 VPA 1- eWATER Emission Reductions from Safe Drinking Water Supply and Accreditation of Water Benefit Certificates - Real case VPA Tanzania
Gold Standard · GS12931 · Tanzania
About this project
eWATERservices is a private water operator providing 24/7 access to clean water in Tanzania. Using smart technology and local operational excellence, eWATER installs and maintains water systems serving drinking water to rural communities sustainably. Many rural communities throughout Tanzania have no access to a reliable source of clean water. Instead, they collect water manually from unsafe sources such as hand-dug wells, rivers, canals, lakes and rainwater. The collected water is subsequently 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 through the installation and operation of 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. 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, not sufficient and/or have become inoperative due to the lack of adequate maintenance. The project is seeking to create voluntary emission reductions (VER).
