Sinohydro and Senegal join forces to provide drinking water in Dakar.Sinohydro,a subsidiary of PowerChina,is currently engaged in efforts to substantially enhance the potable water supply in Dakar,Senegal.A diligent group of Chinese and Senegalese workers is engaged in roundthe-clock efforts along the Avenue du Front de Terre prolongée,which marks the starting point of the Route des Pères Maristes,with the objective of improving the distribution network for potable water in the Dakar Department.With a population density of 7,277 inhabitants per square km and an estimated 1.18 million inhabitants in 2023,there is an evident and increasing need for potable water.This need is further compounded by significant water loss caused by the advanced age of the pipelines,with some pipes dating back to the colonial era.
