Qatar Charity, an International non-governmental organisation (NGO) operating in Ghana, has inaugurated a centralised borehole water system at Sagnarigu in the Northern Region.
The borehole uses solar panel energy to power reservoirs to supply potable water to the residents of the community.
The Programmes Manager of Qatar Charity, Mr Abdullah Muslem, said the facility was cost effective and environmentally friendly.
He explained that the water project has two boreholes that complement each other in case of low water flow, and allowed two solar pumps to pump the two boreholes water to three water storage tanks installed on the stand with the capacity of 5,000 litre each tank (15,000) whereas a 10,000 litre capacity main tank was installed on the ground Mr Muslem also mentioned that the total water storage for the facility was 35, 0000 liters at main project site and there were 14 main water storage points/ tanks, installed at four different locations along with three-tap stands for easy access to water.
