Ad Dali', Yemen –
In a remarkable stride towards water security, YFCA successfully finished rehabilitating the water source in the Aqtheeth area in Ad Dali’ Gov. This initiative is part of the project titled "Multi-sectoral Emergency Response to Support IDPs and other vulnerable groups in Ad Dali’ and Shabwah Governorates," funded by the German Federal Foreign Office (AA) in partnership with Diakonie Katastrophenhilfe (DKH). This innovative solution has met the water needs of the local population, who have endured years of severe water scarcity.
The project represents a fusion of environmental sustainability and technological advancement, ensuring a reliable and sustainable water source for the residents. It is part of a broader strategy aimed at enhancing water resource management, reducing dependence on traditional energy sources, and preserving the environment.
In December 2024, YFCA started the rehabilitation of the Aqtheeth water asset and Aqtheeth Water Network in the Ash Shu’ayb district of Ad Dali' Governorate. The project involved supplying, installing, and operating an integrated solar energy system with a production capacity of 11,880 watts. Key components included an inverter, a protective fence for the solar cell system, and the construction of a control room equipped with a water meter, air valve, gate valve, water pressure gauge, polyethylene pipes of various diameters, galvanized iron pipes, and a manhole.
The rehabilitation efforts have significantly boosted the well's production to 6 cubic meters per hour, greatly improving access to water for the citizens of Aqtheeth. The strategically planned water network now ensures that water is readily available to meet the needs of the local population.
The successful implementation of this project marks a significant milestone in addressing water security challenges and demonstrates the potential of solar energy systems in providing sustainable solutions for vulnerable communities.
