rvp2018: Ruai - Dandora Sewage treatment plant - has about 5,000 acres of land - one of the largest treatment plant in Africa - with capacity of 160,000 cubic per day. What do you have in Ghana - largest I see is Lavender Hill - with 2,000 cubic meter capacity - and other very tiny ones.
that is not an environmentally friendly way to treat liquid waste.
Because kenya can't treat it liquid waste efficiently, 20% of it end up in the Nairobi river hence contaminating the fresh water supplied to Nairobi with e.coli.
That explains the yearly cholera deaths in kenya.
In Ghana, the entire system is operated without human intervention until the end product.
rvp2018: Atlantic ocean is not a wastewater treatment plant
In the year 2006, about 200,000 m3 of FS was collected and dumped into the Atlantic Ocean without treatment [12]. In 2010 this figure increased to about 550,000 m3, as inferred from Koppelaar et al. [13].]
Total treated sewage in Accra is not even 5,000 m3/day
Over the years, Accra has had three major FS treatment plants, located at Achimota, Teshie-Nungua and Korle Gonno (Old Lavender Hill) [15, 16, 17], but Achimota and Korle Gonno have since been decommissioned. The Teshie-Nungua waste stabilisation ponds (10,000 metric tonnes capacity) [27] receive a daily FS loading of 80–100 m3 [9], [16]. Currently, Accra has several operational FS treatment plants with relatively modern technologies being used, the most prominent of them being the 2,000 m3/day capacity Lavender Hill faecal treatment plant (FTP). In addition to this, there is the Slamson Ghana cesspit treatment plant (400 m3/day capacity) situated at the Old Lavender Hill and the Kotoku FTP (1,000 m3/day capacity). The Safi Sana waste-to-energy plant (WTEP) and the Jekora Ventures Limited Fortifier Compost Plant (FCP) also use FS for the production of organic fertilisers and biofuel
Again, another old nonsense.
Accra operates the most modern Sewage treatment system available in the world.
We don't use that old waste water settlement system. It is for backward cities like Nairobi
Sewage Systems Ghana limited operate 3 waste to energy plants.
leQubit: Again not tryng to be an hater but saw ths.. More than 80 percent of the sewage generated by the two million people of Ghana’s sea-front capital Accra has been dumped in the ocean, untreated.
Frist of all, Accra does not have 2 million people and secondly, that is 30 years ago.
100% of Accra Sewage ends up in wastewater treatment facilities.
leQubit: Not trying to be an hater but..where does all that cash go to..ever since i joined ths forum its hard to see ths called Ghana development projects
Manufacturing received 1.2 Billion, Construction received 700 million, services sector received 650 million, 122 million to petroleum, 120 million to mining.
rvp2018: Yes both Ruai and Kariobangi sewage land had been grabbed - like many public utilities - in the existing slums and informal settlements. But good thing with kenya - eventually they will be recovered. Ruai had 3,000-4,000 reserve land for future sewage - but about 2,000 or more had been grabbed. Most of it was restored to the sewage and was the Kariobangi sewage estate.
Anyway with Phase 2 taking sewage to 70%.
We need to fix the 30% - and I suspect majority here are slums or informal settlements - and for example restore Nairobi Dam - from the mess that Kibera slum has created.
Nairobi badly need that dam - for water related acitivites.
"The Nairobi Dam situated next to Kibera was built in 1953 but fell into disuse in the late 1980s after years of pollution and subsequent colonisation by water hyacinth."
As for ACCRA, LAGOS and their Septic tanks We leave them at mercies of Cholera when it rains; and their septic tanks overflow.
Accra has more Sewage treatment plants than your nairobi .
Accra has a larger sewage treatment capacity and more modern Sewage treatment systems than Nairobi.
Kenya is new to the sewage treatment business, so i understand your newly found happiness. SO I UNDERSTAND WHY CHOLERA IS KILLING MORE KENYANS EVERY YEAR, KENYANS DRINK FAECAL WATER ALL THE TIME. BECAUSE ALL THE WATER THAT FLOWS THROUGH PIPES IN KENYA CONSTAINS E.COLI
Ghana has eliminated cholera, I hope your country does too.
More and more Ghanaian homes have any of these 3 systems Biogas Digester, Biofil Digester, ABR Systems sewage treatment facilities and those carry no scent
See the biggest difference btw Nairobi and Accra is INFORMALITY.
In Nairobi - when you want to build a house or subdivide land - you have to start by building the road - or you're not getting sub-division approved or building plan approved.
Nairobi city council and gov agencies just build the main highways and roads - but inner roads - that is built by residents to their driveway - or again NO BUILDING PLAN is approved.
Don't be suprised therefore if you look at Nairobi City (leave the metro) - you cannot see unpaved roads - except in Informal settlements (slums)
again more noise from a liar
Again, the only poor Cholera epidemic country on this forum is Kenya.
Ghana eliminated Cholera a long time back and soon we will eliminate extreme poverty.
If even 10% of Nairobi roads get paved, Kenya paved road network not be at a miserable 7%.
rvp2018: Nigeria will only grow by 1.5% from the recession this year - so how it possible they will be 514B - never mind the figures only make sense to Yemi Kale.
Meanwhile Morroco should be worried - kenya will overtake it in 3yrs max.
kikuyu1: Typical zoo dysfunction! Look at the 2 maps: one is a water stressed nation with 5 deserts and the other has major rivers every 70 or so km. Yet the latter has worse water,sanitation and hygiene! I can ONLY imagine what its like in that tropical heat and humidity.
zoo animal and excuses all the time.
You call kenya water stressed, what will we call Algeria, Egypt and Middle Eastern countries?
rvp2018: Not comparable by far. Left over water bottles; and raw sewage?
sure they are not comparable.
The kenyan issue is about poor sanitation. Where Kenyans take their household waste to dump along the beach (rotten food, plastic waste, human excreta and etc..)
The Ghana case was about rain water depositing plastic bottles along the beach
rvp2018: Ghana and Beach? Who died? Who want to swim in raw sewage? This just few meters from independence square right in Central ACCRA Truly the dirtiest notoriety is well earned.
rvp2018: Ghana really beyond the pale. No wonder the city looks really dirty
Dodging faeces on the beaches - The New Humanitarianhttps://www.thenewhumanitarian.org › report › ghana-... 16 Sep 2008 — With four million people without access to a toilet and 4.5 million with no sewage facilities, the World Health Organization (WHO) and UN Children's Fund (UNICEF) recently ranked Ghana the fourth most unsanitary country in Africa in a total of 52 judged, and the second dirtiest out of 15 West African countries.
Desperation is when you have to rely on an almost 2 decade report from 2008 Ghana in order to feel good about the filth you live in in Nairobi.
So Kenya has been left behind by Ghana.
While Ghanaian beaches are super clean, kenyan ones remain filthy
rvp2018: Cholera would not infect 15,000 people if you had it nailed. Learn from Ethiopia. And stop trying to sell us nonsense like Biodigesters How do you ensure everyone is doing that - not dumping sewage on the sea.
It very cheap to fix sewer system - for example we are spending 60m dollars to move Nairobi from 50 to 70%.
Mr Duncan said that although in 1990 when Ghana had seven per cent coverage Ethiopia only had three per cent coverage; the country had been bypassed by Ethiopia, which now has 28 per cent coverage, while Guinea has also progressed from eight to 20 per cent.
All our cities already have efficient sewage systems that turn liquid waste either to fertilizer or biogas at large liquid waste treatment facilities or individual facilities that immediately convert liquid waste to ash.
That is an environmentally friendlier way than what is happening in Nairobi where people are basically dumping raw sewage into nairobi river or throwing plastic bags filled with human excretal onto people roofs. Whereby only 12% of kenya have access to central sewage systems, which is less than Ghana
rvp2018: Argue with this empirical publication...that comes top when I search GHANA+Cholera.
Cyclical cholera outbreaks in Ghana: filth, not myth | Infectious ...https://idpjournal.biomedcentral.com › articles by N Mireku-Gyimah · 2018 · Cited by 7 — Ranked among the world's dirtiest countries, Ghana has poor environmental sanitation and hygiene, and a lack of potable water, all of which ...
you do realise you are quoting a dumb medical blog right?
Ghana eliminated Cholera in 2016 and has since not reported a single case up till now.
Cholera is for poverty-driven countries like Kenya
rvp2018: Ranked among the world's dirtiest countries, Ghana has poor environmental sanitation and hygiene, and a lack of potable water
Lack of portable what?
Ghana is ranked among the best countries when it comes to water supply, as over 85% of Ghanaians have portable water flowing to their homes. Even in Villages, the is portable water.
Ghana and the word dirt dont belong in the same sentence. Ghana waste collection systems is one of the most efficient in Africa.
Crazy boy, now you've jumped from Cholera to sanitation. Kenya has terrible sanitation and water supply crisis and that is why over 100 Kenyans die every year from Cholera.
