2. Project Background

Dararwayne Town is a rapidly growing district in the Sanaag region, where the primary available water source is a saline/brackish borehole. As a result, the resident population—estimated at approximately 1,200 households—relies heavily on water trucking services to access fresh drinking water. This places a significant financial burden on households, with the cost of water ranging between USD 4–6 per barrel, making safe water access both expensive and unsustainable.

To address this challenge, TAAKULO aims to improve access to affordable and safe drinking water by introducing a Reverse Osmosis (RO) desalination system designed to purify brackish borehole water. The proposed system will have a production capacity of 10 m³/hour, providing a sustainable and scalable solution to the town’s growing water needs.

The desalination unit will be a hybrid system, fully compatible with both solar energy and diesel engine power supply, ensuring operational reliability under varying conditions. It will also be equipped with advanced technological features, including UV disinfection, automated control systems, remote monitoring capabilities, and a two-year package of consumables and spare parts to support efficient operation and long-term sustainability.
