This is the Bafousam drinking water treatment plant in Bafousam, Western Region of Cameroon, taken on March 2 (drone photo).
Bafusam is the capital of Cameroon's Western Region and is surrounded by a dense concentration of towns. With the development of the city and the growth of the population, the water supply capacity and water quality of the old water plant built at the end of the last century can no longer meet the demand. In 2014, China Overseas Group Cameroon built drinking water treatment plants and related supporting facilities for four cities in Kajia through the first phase of the Nine Cities Water Supply Project. In 2017, the Bafoussam drinking water treatment plant was completed and was soon officially put into use. As an extension of the old water plant, the new water plant can currently produce 10,000 cubic meters of water per day. The completion of the new water plant has increased the water supply capacity of the original water plant by 30%, covering a total of about 500,000 residents, covering about 65%, not only enhancing the water supply capacity of Bafusam, but also radiating to six surrounding towns.
