Drinking Water Provision in Mali
With modest progress in water supply and sanitation facilities and rapidly growing population; Mali is lacking appropriate access to clean drinking water.
Mali being designated a high priority country since 2020 under its Global Water Strategy (GWS) with the Mali government and local contractors and suppliers taking good measure and strengthening drinking water provisions by installing more and more borewells with handpumps that extract drinking water from the underground.
Ongoing water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) programs have been implemented to improve access to clean water especially in the rural communities, blocks, schools etc leading to provide a better and healthy life to the children and mankind in the Republic of Mali.
Mali’s main water courses are the Niger river and the Senegal River; due to comparatively increased levels of salinity in the underground water it becomes more evident that why stainless steel connecting rods and SS riser pipes are more used in borewells casing and handpumps installation in Mali, and even surrounding areas like Niger, Nigeria, Toga, Ghana and the likes.
