POTABLE WATER MASTER PLAN (2040) OF KIGALI

Drinking water master plan was prepared for Kigali which is the capital of Rwanda in Central Africa.

Within the scope of the project, population projections were made according to the development plan of Kigali. Then, the demand for drinking and service water were calculated for the year of 2040. For each residential area, industrial area, public area and private areas within the political borders of Kigali, separate arrangements were made and a general situation plan was prepared. Water will be distributed according to this plan.

All water supply points and drinking water facilities of Kigali had been identified. Facilities which can be used that were protected and facilities which can not be used that had been redesign or rehabilitated. In order to distribute the drinking water of the entire city, water reservoirs were located at the most suitable points. According to the pressure zones, the planned reservoirs transmission lines and the transmission lines between the reservoirs were planned.

With the plan which was prepared in this work, the drinking and service water problem of Kigali will be eliminated until the year of 2040.
