Fresher water, better life

CGTN published this video item, entitled “Fresher water, better life” – below is their description.

On a crisp fall day in Botswana, the family of Batsile Olekile, villagers in Shoshong Town, are busy preparing lunch. They are rinsing the tableware and washing the fresh vegetables and fruits with cool tap water. This used to be a rare experience for the Olekiles. Water shortages were common in Shoshong for the past few years. However, those difficulties are now a thing of the past.

The Mahalapye Water Treatment Plant is located in Mahalapye Town, 50 kilometers from Shoshong. The plant expansion project was undertaken by China State Construction Engineering Corporation (CSCEC) Botswana. The daily water purification capacity increased from 16,000 cubic meters to 34,000 cubic meters, a dramatic improvement in the local water supply capacity. The project also provided a large number of employment opportunities for local people.
