Before: The conditions of the water network forced residents to spend one-fourth of their income on purchasing water for daily use. Residents earning US$300 – 400 per month spent US$100 on buying water alone. There was a high risk of contamination and collapse of this vital source.
After: The restoration of the drinking water network now allows residents of upper lands of Hermel to receive clear and healthy water. Moreover, they can now invest a significant portion of their income in alternative and beneficial ways. This network is around 25 Km long and is the main source of potable water in Hermel.
