Du robinet au consommateur : qualité de l’eau potable dans le contexte domestique de l’agglomération de Khartoum, Soudan

The city of Khartoum experienced a rapid growth and an urban spread towards its periphery that has become denser than the center. Urban planning was unable to follow the pace of demographic growth, and the establishment of a decent drinking water network is slow. The population is incited to be inde...
