ABSTRACT

Access to clean water is an important issue in the world, as a man can go days without food and electricity, but it is impossible to go more than a day without drinking water. It should be noted that access to drinking water and sanitation services are essential to life. It is now recommended or a fundamental human right, it is part of the Millennium Development Goals, adopted by 189 member countries of the United Nations and whose objective was to reduce the percentage of the population that does not have sustainable access to drinking water and sanitation. The outlying districts of the city of Kisangani in the Democratic Republic of Congo are the main target of this article. Microbiological contamination of drinking water can cause the transmission of diseases such as diarrhoea, cholera, dysentery, typhoid fever and poliomyelitis and is estimated to cause 505 000 deaths from diarrhoeal diseases each year (13 Sept 2023).

Keywords: Problem, Extension, Distribution Network, Drinking Water and Peripheral
