Water Loss d.o.o. Sarajevo has signed a contract today with the large multinational company BDO (Binder Dijker Otte) to participate in a project in Dushanbe, the capital of Tajikistan. The project, “Institutional Capacity Building in the Dushanbe Water Utility,” will run for two years and is funded by the Asian Development Bank (ADB).

Dushanbe has a population of 820,000, which is expected to increase due to ongoing migration from rural areas to the city.

In some parts of the city, water is available for only 4 to 8 hours a day, with very low system pressures. The Non-Revenue Water (NRW) rate in the system is approximately 60%. The key expert for the NRW component of the project is Mr. Đevad Koldžo.
