Ambagiorgis is a sprawling town about 50 minutes’ drive to the north of Gondar where we have worked with the woreda to build two large installations.  Each of them measure about 2km from start to finish and supply about 7000 people, a school and a health clinic with water.  In each system, water is sequestered from enclosed springs and stored in a 24 m3 tanker.  The water then flows downhill in buried plastic pipe, feeding a number of collection points on its way.  This is the first time that this model has been built in the woreda.
