Access to clean water and sanitation and comprehensive freshwater management are essential to life, health, environment and economic prosperity in the developing countries. With more than 2 billion people globally living in countries with excess water stress and some 2.4 billion people with inadequate or no access to sanitation, SDG Goal No. 6 is undoubtedly one of the most important ones. Danish consulting engineers are globally known and acknowledged for our knowledge and results within freshwater management, water supply and sanitation. We design water and sanitation facilities, develop education programmes for hygiene and sanitation and water usage and provide capacity building to governments and local authorities in water and sanitation.
PROJECT: PROJECT MANAGEMENT SERVICES TO PORT HARCOURT WATER AUTHORITY
More than 2 billion people globally are living in countries with excess water stress. Ramboll is currently providing a range of services to the Port Harcourt Water Corporation in Nigeria including organisational reform, institutional strengthening and capacity building, performance improvement programming as well as WASH and ESIA. Currently, only 2 percent of the population of Port Harcourt has access to potable water and sanitation. Upon project completion, it is anticipated that the figure will be 20 percent.
