Specialising in Water
Water is a challenging and comprehensive area of specialisation, especially in Africa. The responsible use of water requires extensive expertise and specialised knowledge.
Our mission specialises in developing and implementing sustainable water solutions in various African countries. We speak fluent water! Through our years of experience and successful projects, we have built up a wealth of expertise that enables us to realise tailor-made hydraulic engineering projects. The quality of life in African communities improves sustainably.
Our projects support the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (opens in new window), in particular
- SDG 2: Zero Hunger - Through efficient irrigation systems, we contribute to increasing agricultural productivity and food security.
- SDG 3: Good Health and Well-being - By providing access to clean water and improved sanitation, we contribute to improving health and well-being in communities.
- SDG 4: Quality education - Our workshops provide valuable educational resources on water supply, water treatment and irrigation.
- SDG 6: Clean water and sanitation - We work to ensure the availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all.
Water Supply
Water supply includes water extraction, water pumping, water storage and pipeline construction. These aspects are crucial to ensuring a sustainable and efficient water supply in Africa.
Water supply starts with water extraction. Water can come from various sources, such as groundwater, surface water such as rivers and lakes or natural springs. Another effective method is the collection of rainwater, which is a valuable resource in many regions.
During an on-site visit, we work with you to decide which solution is best for your community. Our experts analyse the local conditions and develop tailor-made water supply projects that meet the specific needs of the local people.
Water Treatment
Extracted water, be it groundwater or surface water, usually has to be treated in some way so that it can be used as drinking water. The so-called raw water often contains undesirable substances such as suspended matter, bacteria, viruses, fertiliser residues or heavy metals.
Depending on the substances that need to be removed, the water treatment process also changes. We use various customised technologies and methods to ensure that the water is clean and safe for human consumption. From mechanical filters to physical and chemical treatments, we customise water treatment to meet specific requirements.
Learn more about our water treatment projects and how we are helping to improve the health and quality of life of people in Africa through access to clean drinking water.
Workshops
Our seminars are mainly aimed at people who are responsible for water projects on the ground. These workshops provide comprehensive training in the basics of water supply and WASH (water, sanitation and hygiene) to ensure that participants acquire the necessary knowledge and skills to manage effective water projects.
A good knowledge of maths, physics and chemistry is an absolute prerequisite for participation. These skills are essential to fully understand and successfully implement the technical aspects of water supply and treatment.
For seminars outside Africa, please contact directly M.Eng. Jürgen Baisch. He will be happy to answer any questions you may have and support you in planning and organising your training.
Irrigation
Irrigation makes sense wherever agriculture is not profitable or not possible due to a lack of water. This is often the case in semi-arid and arid regions. Climate change is further exacerbating the situation. Our NGO focuses on the implementation of efficient irrigation systems to overcome these challenges.
Irrigation offers the opportunity to increase crop yields and thus become less dependent on food aid. Through the targeted use of water, we can increase agricultural productivity and improve food security. Sufficient and controlled irrigation can also prevent soil salinisation. Soil that is already salinised can be made salt-free again through suitable measures and thus made usable for agriculture again.
Find out more about our irrigation projects and how they help to secure and improve the livelihoods of people in semi-arid and arid regions.
