• 2003 

  • Fund raising for the equipment of 6 villages with wells et 8 villages using surface water (Senegal river or Guiers lake) : agreement of French Cooperation and of Aquassistance.
  • Writing of a  file on the main results (going on, see first results on interdev-net.org).
  • First studies for 3 pumping and treatment stations for villages using surface water  (see report)
  • Participation to the 3rd world water forum
  • Completion or consolidation of the existing installations (see reports)

• 2002

  • Nord-Pas-de-Calais Council is agreed to support a 6 months program for the completion and the consolidation of Alizes 1 (beginning : december 2002).
  • We are looking after new funds : the equipments are stopped. Ousmane Hann, project manager of Alizes, is still in contact with villagers and local companies. 

• 2001

• The Alizes team will stay at St Louis still 31/03/2002 in order to finalize all the actions. A last SSM windpump and a PV pump will be installed. 34 villages will be equiped (32 wells and 2 using water river).
• The project evaluation will be done in december, with an senegalese independant consultant, Focus. The report will be downloaded on this site.
• The Alizés project final report has been transmitted to European Commission (main funder). You can download it (in french !) : format Word 97, format pdf
• Statement of the installations : equipment of 32 villages  with 28 windpumps (9 Oasis/EIC, 13 SSM, 6 Fiasa) and 4 PV pumps ; 2 villages used the water of Senegal river. It is less than previous but each installation is more powerful (see explanations in Final report).

• End of 2000

• 17 windpumps are installed on wells :
  12 windpumps EIC (diameter 3m or 3.30 m )
  4 windpumps SSM (diameter 6 m)
  1 windpump Fiasa ("argentine" windpump which has been repaired).
• Works of installation  : 8 Fiasa et 3 SSM.
• Civil works done on 29 sites.
• 2 stations of pumping and treatment of Senegal river water : they give a good water to the 2 villages.
• July 2000 : decision of install 3 types of windpumps, EIC330, Fiasa et SSM. 
• June 2000 : checking of the 10 first installations to improve the works of EIC and the results.
  

• At the end of march  2000
  
  • Improvement of the production at Gouye Mbaye Sall and Thiary Loro (3 to 4 m³/day) ; results are correct at Sam Gaye, Ndièye Ndiarno, Guedji Seck, Taïba Ndiouga and Bandeigne Fass. Ndam Ndam : low efficiency.
  • Innovations : increase of the tower of the windpump ( 7,5 m to 12 m at Gouye Mbaye Sall and Thiary Loro), installation of a windpump SSM (16 m heigh and 6 m diameter) at Messeré Mbaye. An other SSM windpump of  6m is installed at Boussoura Lô. With these innovations, we can use more energy and pump more water
  • 1^rst training concerning health and hygiene for villages n°1 to 10 .
  • technical results assessment : the production of water is not sufficient when the wind speed is low (August to October). There are som technical lacks to rectify.

   

• End of 1999:
  •  9 windpumps are going on. The EIC company has to correct some defaults on the others.
  • Repairing of existing wells :  4 cases of more 35 m. Works at the beginning of 2000.
  • Pumping and treatment station : feasability studies with Aquassistance et Nord-Pompes.
  • Participation of villagers : 
    - 18 villages have a postal account for the management of the windpump. 
    - 10 villages have paid their participation. 

   

•  mid-may 99 :
  • 156 registered enquiries from villages
  • Detailed technical study for 26 cases (population and quality of water supply)
  • Civil works realized in 20 villages (beginning of the  2^nd part)
  • 11 wind pumps installed
  • 3 sites identified along the Senegal river for installation of water pumping systems including water treatment.

• 2^nd half 98 :
