Procurement and Installation: DCD has successfully procured and installed two WaterGen Devices in the Gaza Strip. One device, located in Abasan Town, produces 900 liters of fresh water per day, while the other, in Khan Younis City, produces 5,000 liters per day. These devices provide critical access to clean water for local communities.
Installation and Operation: We have mobilized resources to procure, install, and operate solar energy units in the Gaza Strip. These units include a 106 KW system for water production in various areas and a 21 KW system in Abasan Town used for wastewater treatment.
Design and Implementation: DCD has designed and implemented a pilot wastewater treatment system in Abasan Town, Gaza Strip. The system treats 120 cubic meters of wastewater per day, serving 200 households. We are currently working to secure resources for a complete wastewater treatment system for the town.
