Mbora Water Project
Bringing Safe, Reliable Water Closer to the Community
The Mbora Water Project is a community water development initiative in South West Nyakach, Nyakach Sub-County, Kisumu County, established to improve access to safe and reliable water for the local community.
The project was designed to address the challenge of limited access to potable water, where community members had been relying on unprotected water sources. The planned solution combines groundwater development with renewable energy and elevated water storage.
Project Impact
The Mbora Water Project represents more than the construction of water infrastructure. It is an investment in:
- Access to clean and safe water
- Improved community health and hygiene
- Reduced dependence on unprotected water sources
- Sustainable solar-powered water supply
- Improved livelihoods and community wellbeing
- Reliable water storage and distribution
A Sustainable Water Supply Solution
The project comprises a borehole equipped with a solar-powered water pumping system, an elevated water storage tank and a communal water point. This integrated approach provides a practical way of abstracting groundwater, storing it and making it accessible to the community.
The project was estimated at KSh 4 million and was expected to benefit approximately 350 households upon completion.
AQUAVIEW’s Role
AQUAVIEW Engineering Kenya Ltd was responsible for the supply, installation, testing, commissioning, and technical support of the hybrid solar-powered water pumping system for the Mbora Water Project in Nyakach Sub-County, Kisumu County.
The scope included:
- Borehole equipping for a design discharge of 7 m³/hour and a total dynamic head of 80 metres.
- Supply and installation of a Dayliff DS8-25 4kW pump end with a DSM 4kW three-phase submersible motor.
- Supply and installation of 18 × 200W monocrystalline solar panels.
- Installation of a Dayliff SVB2 3.7kW Sunverter solar inverter and disconnect switch.
- Installation of submersible and underground cables, riser pipes and mounting structures.
- Installation of a water meter and float switch for flow monitoring and water-level control.
- Complete system installation, testing and commissioning, including mobilisation and technical support.
- Provision of a one-year quarterly inspection and maintenance package to support reliable operation, optimal performance and long-term sustainability.
In short: AQUAVIEW served as the technical implementation partner responsible for delivering and commissioning the project’s hybrid solar-powered water pumping solution, from equipment supply through installation, testing, commissioning and post-installation technical support.
