EXISTING & PROPOSED WATER SUPPLY NETWORK IN GREATER BAKU AREA
Water supply network – existing challenges No water supply or incomplete supply in 50 villages and settlements out of 75; 60 % water losses in transportation of water to Greater Baku due to losses in the distribution network and unaccounted water Proposed key solutions: Construction of 85 new water reservoirs; Construction of 250 km of new main transmission pipelines; Rehabilitation and reconstruction of 8108 km of water supply network; Installation of meters, detection of losses, and introduction of SCADA and smart meters Note: The new water and sanitation system Master plan of Greater Baku for 2035 has been prepared by the Azersu JSC.

EXISTING & PROPOSED SATINATION NETWORK IN GREATER BAKU AREA
Sanitation network – existing challenges: Only central part of the area is completely connected to sanitation network; Insufficient capacity of Waste Water Treatment Plants (WWTP); Roughly 50% of untreated wastewaters are discharged either into surface water basins or into the sea by directing to Storm Water network. Proposed solutions: Construction of sanitation network in all settlements across the peninsula; Restoration and reconstruction of 6,300 km of existing sewerage network Construction of 833 km of new trunk collectors/tunnels Construction of 11 new Waste Water Treatment Plants

EXISTING & PROPOSED STORM WATER SYSTEM IN GREATER BAKU AREA
Existing challenges: Only 30% of Greater Baku area is connected to the storm water system; The major part of the network is very obsolete an is about 50 years old; The system is interconnected with sewerage network to protect from overflow; Proposed solutions: Introduction of integrated urban water management approach; Disconnect from sewerage system; Establishment of new natural basins Construction of 775 km of trunk collectors and 9 km of tunnels Construction of 3378 km of additional network and 84 km of storm channels Reconstruction of existing network
