Aptech provides solar water pumping solutions in Somaliland

Aptech has implemented two hybrid solar-diesel water pumping projects in Somaliland. In Hargeisa, the Laasdhure aquifer project adds 4 million liters of drinking water daily via three boreholes. In Dilla, the project rehabilitates valley dams and uses shallow wells to provide 50m3 of water daily for human and livestock use.

• In Hargeisa, Aptech installed a hybrid power system using PV and gensets to operate three boreholes at the Laasdhure aquifer. This system increases the city's clean drinking water supply by 4 million liters per day to address shortages caused by population growth.
• In Dilla, Aptech implemented a project to rehabilitate valley dams and install overhead water tanks to increase storage for use during dry months. The system uses shallow wells (filter tanks) with 0.37kw pumps, powered by PV systems and 10KVA diesel generators across four sites, delivering 50m3 of clean drinking water daily for the community and livestock.
