Egypt has completed 28 solar-powered groundwater stations across South Sudan, providing clean drinking water to more than 84,000 people, Ahram Online reported.
The stations are mainly in rural areas, where each one serves more than 3,000 people. The work is part of cooperation between the two countries on water and development.
The wider program also includes rainwater-harvesting dams, waterway improvements, and equipment for measuring water levels and flows. Those projects can support health, farming, travel, and flood preparedness at the same time.
Solar power helps the stations keep working in places where electricity can be difficult to reach. For families, the most important result is more dependable access to safe water close to home.
