WATER SUPPLY DESIGN PROJECT OF NZOVE II

Within the scope of this work, water supply project from the Nyabarongo River, which is a branch of Nile River also passes through the town of Nzove, to feed some part of Nzove Town, which is in Kigali, capital of Rwanda.

Within the scope of this work; the water intake structure was planned at the suitable point of the Nyabarongo River, which contains high amounts of quartz and silica. With the water intake structure, a special sand trap was planned in order not to incorporate large sediment material into the system. Raw water from the sand trap shall be transferred to the planned treatment plant via a pressurized line. The treated drinking water will be transferred to Karama Reservoir and Mont Kigali Reservoir by two-stage pumping stations respectively.

Summary;

• The capacity of 105,000 m³/day water intake structure with sand trap and cofferdam.
• The capacity of 105,000 m³/day water treatment plant with OFSY filter unit
• 2 pcs. 2000 m³ reservoirs and 1 pcs. 5000 m³ reservoir
• 3 pcs pumping stations with a capacity of 25 m, 250m and 280 m pumping head capacity.
