With the aim to increase the self-reliance of the local community of Bashiqa, training courses had been conducted starting on the 27th of October and ending on the 4th of November. The courses were opened by focus group discussions lead by a selected Rwanga team to raise awareness on the importance of sustaining this project. With that being done, the participants (50 beneficiaries from ten villages around Bashiqa) had been trained in maintaining water pipes and repairing the water networks in both theoretical and practical sessions. With the training being finished, the 50 graduates had been celebrated and awarded in an official graduation ceremony.
A water supply system or water supply network is a system of engineered hydrologic and hydraulic components which provide water supply.
It is necessary to adopt a new approach to design urban water supply networks. Water shortages are expected in the forthcoming decades and environmental regulations for water utilization and waste-water disposal are increasingly stringent.
