Arrival of Pipes Installation of a New Transmission Pipeline for Hargeisa Urban Water Project

[Adan_1]

Berbera, (HargeisaPress) — Delegation including the representatives of Hargeisa Water Agency (HWA), Somaliland Development Fund (SDF) and HUWSUP Project are, today, here, at Berbera Port to witness the arrival of the pipes and fittings for the planned installation of new 600MM DI pipes from Geed Deeble to Chinese Reservoir which will replace the 2 timeworn 300MM old water transmission pipeline to increase the transmission capacity from 9000 cubic meters per day to a maximum of 30,000 cubic meters per day.
In order to address this water shortage, the Government of Somaliland, through Hargeisa Water Agency, has embarked on a vigorous programme aimed at improving the water supply system by executing a series of activities to increase the amount of water available and improve the distribution network.
Over the next two weeks, trucks will transport these pipes and fittings to a storage site in Hargeisa. From the storage site, these pipes will be laid to transmit water over a distance of 23 km from the well field in Geed Deeble to the Chinese reservoir.

So they are basically updating geed deble and biyaha shiinaha which supplies hargeisa now which is not fit for purpose.. where's the new ceels they were making let me guess kulmiye stole that money too

[Rambie]

^ read again Aisha.

Upgrading from 9,000 cubic meter per day to 30,000.
Thats over 200% increase in the output flow of water.

They should do more studies and use other wells.

Nevertheless its a good news.

Keep it coming.

[MujahidAishah]

It's still inadequate inadeer the geed deble is only enough for one side of hargeisa that the truth. But aslong as koodbuur is hooked up to the supply am happy

another reservoir needs to be bulit somewhere like toon ama heelaya to accommodate the growing demand

Guys I had radical idea to update and upgrade SL's water system but our people including those on Snet are just ignorant and short sighted. If there is will there is way. I call for the construction of 600km long pipeline from Ethiopia to SL but our people would rather rely on barkad and well. Not smart. When I lay out my plan the usual respond I get is; why when we have ceel?

Nacasyo. Did you know that both Britain and the US always knew the oil in their own backyard yet they explored and exploited the one in the Middle East? By 1920s they were taping into Arabia and in 2015 they want to tell us they discovered oil in England?

You have to reserve your own shyt and buy other resources will abundance and cheap. We need reservoirs to store all kinds of water from Ethiopia, rain, well...

I believe in go big or go home.

These little pipelines and geed deble are for the small minded people who play around with a little hallow steel and one well powered by a donkey.

Nothing to celebrate here. So what if Biyole got few hallow steels to replace old ones? We need new approach.

My Vision

Construction of US$ 1.4bn Ethiopia-Djibouti oil pipeline has finally been given authorization to commence after an agreement was signed between the two countries on February 7 this month.

The oil pipeline, which measures 550km in length, will stretch from

From there we can get the idea that a 550km pipeline can cost up to $1.4b and I believe we can raise such amount in over ten years or even twenty-----it is all worth it. You have to have a long term vision and keep your eyes on the prize.

Geed Deble is for the biyole. I am not a Biyole. SL underground water will run out soon or later and the rain will dry up like Middle East. Then what?

I don't get why we need water from Ethiopia while we have enough water reserves. anagaa belaayo aragnay, dabaqoodhinimada hawdian adoontii ogadenkaa yaabay maalin dhowna xaarka xabashida aynu beeraha ku qoysano ayaad noola iminaysaa sidii oo aanay futo nagu oolin. bal biyaha ilaahay xabashi siiyey ee aanu na siin xagay fadhiyaan yaguse ma ka wada cabaan ? waar laydhkii baa laga yaabaa inaynu ka walaacno hadii aynu cid wind power inoo maalgelisa helna. biyaha hadiiba aynu kharash 1 billion ah helno maynu togdheer iyo awdal biyaha ku jira usoo jiidno caasimada.

[LiquidHYDROGEN]

Yeah let's become even more dependant the xabashis. Better yet let's just all talk in amxaara, eat raw meat and rename Somaliland to injeraland.

[Lancer]

What's smart about relying on your water needs, a important necessity to a foreign country?
There are plenty of aquifers to drill from and that money for the pipeline could be
spent on building reservoirs for rain harvesting of the water that forms in to rivers every year and run off to the ocean.
What you are advocating for is a huge national security risk.

[Togdeer]

The togdeer region of Somaliland has enough water to supply the entire Somaliland. Every year after the rainy season huge amounts of water get lost underground and the water flows all the way to the Indian ocean. The togdeer river disappears and goes underground when it reaches beer district, togdeer. The government should invest in an underground reservoir to capture the water, and then start building pipelines to other cities such as hargeisa, berbera, las anood and burco.

[Togdeer]

But then again knowing Somaliland this is never going to happen. Burco which has more water than any other place in Somaliland uses dirty water. The water is full of iron which stains people's teeth orange. All the governments of Somaliland has refused to acknowledge this. Even though purifying the water would not cost a lot of money. While hargeisa gets all the funding for water.

The funny thing is the people opposed to all innovation and farsighted ideas also happen to be Somaliland's most poorest and isolated---specifically the eastern regions. They rather rely on begging, donations, aid and the usual biiyole. This little pipe is nothing to be excited about. It is a minor and temporary fix (replacing 1970 Siad Barre pipeline)...nothing new. You have to think of a new solution to old problems not rely on batches like this little pipeline.

SL underground water will eventually dry up as droughts increase and people keep digging. They will one day hit bed rock with zero water. Then the whole region will go to "rob doon" pilgrimage.

Same people dying of thirst are against an idea to resolve their daily sufferings:

BURAO (Somalilandsun) – Administrators of Godaweine district in Sahil region have termed drought induced hardships as enormous thence worthy of intervention.

"In the last six months alone residents have lost a large number of livestock" informed the Godaweine local government clerk (Secretary) Mr. Deeq Abdi Warsame during an interview with hadhwanaagnews in Burao the Toghdeer regional capital.
Stating that the last six months have been the fircest of the prolonged drought in the district located in the east of Somaliland the clerk said that the livelihoods' of residents was at stake thus calling for outside assistance.

"I appeal to the government, humanitarian services provision agencies and affluent individuals to urgently help alleviate the precarious situation in Godaweine district through relief donations" said the administrator.
Informing that he was optimistic of urgent action from all quarters the Council Clerk revealed that past appeals from his district and those nieghbouring have gone unheeded.

Stressing that urgency was imperative Mr. Deeq Abdi said that a just concluded inspection tour by a team led by the mayor and including elders and civil servants observed several former livestock traders reduced to destitution.
In the area that saw the ministry of livestock development immunize over 70,000 heads of goats and sheeps recently the malady of formerly affluent traders induced to penury by drought is also exacerbated by un-market worthy stocks afflicted with diverse diseases.

So Saxiil is considered Bari now?

I like the way your thinking but this won't work.

If somehow Ethiopia agreed to let us pump the water out of their country (which already suffers from lack of access to clean water),
from where will we the funding.

You want us to save up 100 million of our 250 million budget for a pipe that
might not even be placed!

Each 5 years we have a new president, what makes you think he/she will continue the 15 year plan?

You have inflation, what can be constructed today for 1.4 Billion can cost 2.5 or even 3 billions by the time we finish a decade and a half later, you can never guarantee a fixed cost on the future.

Finally, you have the risks and the maintenance of this long pipe. ONLF can attack and damage the pipes like what happened by other rebel groups in Egypt, Kurdistan and Yemen. Same with maintainace, we can't offered to maintain or fix any leak along this huge pipe.

Try again Hawdian.

instead of using xabaashi water
How about we try filtering bada cas if it works for dubai then why not us..but we have to filter it better than Djibouti tho
