Nexus Blog // Supplying water to remote, drought-plagued areas in Angola - When creativity meets innovation in Africa
May 5, 2021- Owini, a company in the Mitrelli Group, implemented an innovative water desalination system based entirely on solar energy, within the village Ombala yo Mungu in southern Angola, West Africa. The province is characterized by extensive and arid terretories and was hit by a severe drought that the region has endured since 2018. The water desalination system is able to conserve the energy
produced during the day, and allows continuous operation of pumping and supplying water to the
community around the clock.
Supplying water to the population may be something we take for granted, but when it comes to a huge African country whose vast area covers extensive regions that differ substantially in their precipitation and water sources, the solutions for a regular supply of drinking water become complex, difficult to implement, and more costly.
