Abstract
This study covers the technical and economic aspects of the electrical part of a drinking water supply system in the village of GARIN MAIGARI. This village is located in the Maradi region of Niger. The Mini AEP to be installed in the village has been sized in order to carry out the work. In the Maradi region, the average price of water is 500 FCFA/m3 for thermal AEPs and 375 FCFA/m3 for solar AEPs. On the Garin Maigari AEP, installations need to be monitored regularly to avoid exorbitant repair costs. If all the water were sold, the price per cubic meter would be 87 FCFA. The water supply system is economically profitable from the sale of 40% of daily production. For quantities of water sold at more than 40% of the pump's daily output, the price per cubic meter is therefore less than 220 FCFA. This price provides the necessary financial resources for after-sales service.
